  • Even this can depend a lot. I’ve some friends that play that Marvel game (Rivals?) and it works great on Linux. I myself have played Monhan and Warframe a lot on Linux. I’m not much of a competitive player, and I think where you might run into problems is competitive live-service titles.

    Guild Wars and Final Fantasy XIV are both multiplayer games and work flawlessly for me.

    Some games might require some fiddling you might not have on Windows, but it’s not that bad.

    Even VR is pretty plug and play, though I’ve not bothered with FBT yet, and I think it differs a lot depending on what headset you have.

    OpenSUSE Tumbleweed. AMD CPU with NVidia graphics.





  • Absolutely. However, relational or financial status shouldn’t enter into the equation if someone says the attention is unwanted.

    I had a friend whose parents would literally cross continents to show up unannounced at their doorstep, demanding to meet with grandchildren and make decisions in my friend’s life. A lot of people would just go “aww it’s because they care” but these are people that physically and mentally abused my friend during their entire childhood. They’re estranged for a reason.

    I have a very similar relationship with my mother. She views me less as an individual person and more as property to be controlled and used. When we moved for the first time, I’d managed to upset her one way or another, and her response was to strike me down, straddle me, choke me, and slam me repeatedly in the floor. I was around seven or eight years old at the time. Her showing up and sitting outside of my doorstep for hours on end, demanding that I see her, isn’t a cutesy way of showing her dedication to being in my life, it’s unhinged and completely unacceptable.

    Same thing with family members. If you have an estranged parent or so, then harassing and stalking you is somehow always turned into your fault.

    “She just cares about you, she’s your mother!”

    I hope you’ll be rid your stalker soon. I remember how oppressive it was having one, and I can’t imagine how doubly awful it must be to have one that has financial means to do whatever they want. Absolute nightmare.
