the only thing i miss is having every vst work (i’ve learned ot live without the broken ones which are only a couple in my collection, besides that all of them work beautifully, aside from a few that have flickery UIs). FL Studio on Linux is awesome.

he actually did nothing wrong

The left 4 dead 2 thing could have been fixed by running the game through Proton, as the native Linux port of thegame is less than stellar. Helldivers 2 is Helldivers 2, and honestly I wish LS just did a bit more research on PopOS to know that it switched to COSMIC (or just right out the bat didn’t make ChatGPT choose a distro for him by regurgitating those awful listicles with outdated info), and maybe, just maybe, reconsidered installing an OS at a LAN party. I’m sorry but if you’re installing an OS at a LAN party and let alone trying to troubleshoot things while people are waiting for you on a match, everyone will laugh at you.

However I will give LS the benefit of the doubt on Cosmic, that windows duplication bug was insane. idk how System76 decided Cosmic is ready for release now. They could have at least put it up as a second download option with a short disclaimer alongside the GNOME version or something.

Elijah and Luke did way better imho. They actually went onto the internet, chose the distro after a little bit of thread hunting and a little research, and tried their best to troubleshoot their problems.

is he still gonna try it on that jank ass setup that i know he’s still using then whine to the OS when nothing works right? Haven’t watched the previous one fully but Luke was more reasonable imo, Linus was just a whiny little shit.

So i’ve watched the 2nd episode, Linus is using an actual computer this time, which is a step up, but he had the bright idea to let ChatGPT recommend him a distro (PopOS again, which he didn’t do any further research on, especially consdiering now that they’re sipping an unfinished COSMIC DE in prod), and outstepping that with an even brighter idea: choosing to install the OS and deal with troubleshooting at a LAN Party, Yup, you heard that right, a LAN party. The perfect place to troubleshoot things while you have people who are waiting on you to start a match.

The problems he does encounter are indeed issues with the native linux port of L4D2 (audio levels changing and general source linux build bugs), also helldivers bugs in general, and it wouldn’t be current PopOS without a Steam window duplication bug.

The rest of the team are (like in the last one if i remember correctly), miles better, they actually allocated some time to troubleshooting and didn’t let ChatGPT recommend a distro for them, they actually used the internet.

hope they’re ready for missiles to come down on them
