  • Sounds like you are trying to use the “force compatibility” option inside of Steam? I switched out to Linux a few weeks ago. Installed Steam, initially thought I had to tell it what version of Proton to use for each game. Found that I was better off ignoring it, not using any forced compatibility option, and let Steam figure it out. My games run with very few issues that way. I just make sure I have the latest nvidia drivers, which it appears you do. Hope you get it running.





  • I started the switch over last night. Installed Kubuntu on a spare external ssd. Got Steam installed, figured out how to select the drivers I needed for my nvidia gpu. Even got remote desktop access to the game server I’m running. Linux has amazing capabilities built in, I’m impressed. Took some work to get Enshrouded running on Steam this afternoon (probably not the best game to start off with, it’s problematic) but after a good bit of trying different options it started up. If I can get Orca running for my 3d printer, there really isn’t much I’m going to miss from Windows.






  • I’d take a good lever gun personally. If you could find a used Marlin or Henry in something like 30-30, you would have enough power to deal with most anything you need to shoot. One of the carbines in 44 Rem Mag or 357 would also work well closer up, and give you a few more rounds. Check family owned gun shops or pawn shops in your area. Unless you plan on hunting longer ranges, you wouldn’t need to put on a scope. Skinner has nice large aperture peep sights you can put on the back. They’re fast and easy to sight with, and durable so you don’t need to worry if the rifle gets knocked around while hiking.
