Welcome to Patriots for Progress. Round these parts, we roleplay as American conservatives and use all the reactionary buzzwords while continuing to produce leftist and communist propaganda.
Rule 1: No special snowflake white supremacist nonsense, or any other kind of bigotry
Rule 2: No big city econ major capitalism talk. And no centrism either, the LORD gave us the second amendment for a reason
Rule 3: AMERICAN PATRIOTS ONLY ๐ฆ ๐ฆ ๐ฆ !!! This is America, so you'd best speak English, Navajo, Cherokee, or some other American language!

Linux doesnโt make you jump through this hoop ๐ง๐ซก๐บ๐ธ
You know, I use Linux at work but use windows at home. I've been thinking of switching for a while. I think the thing that is going to push me over the edge is the difficulty that I have saving a file to my own god damned computer.
I love automatic backups to the cloud WHEN I CHOOSE TO USE THEM! I'm tired of Microsoft essentially holding my data for ransom, though.
You can make cloud backups whenever you choose on Linux whenever you want, even to OneDrive.
So far I've never had Bazzite nor Mint nor any of my software there force me to put things anywhere.
Just know the Microsoft Office suite and Adobe's software don't really work on Linux systems.
I have a cheap laptop that I got solely for school to run their anti cheat Spyware for online tests. I hadn't turned it on since I updated it and it forced me to make a hotmail/outlook account or I couldn't use the laptop to take my test. Assholes almost made me late for it. Fuck microsoft.
If i can get guild wars 2 to run on Linux I won't need windows anymore
Edit : sorry for the confusion. I have linux running. The next step is to work on gw2. It's the only thing remaining.
May I ask for further clarification on when you tried when running the game?
I haven't tried Guild Wars 2 on Linux however it seems like it works according to ProtonDB.
Sorry I should have been more clear. I have mint linux installed. The speakers and the headset works. When I get a chance I need to work on gw2. It's the last step. Sorry for the confusion.
figured out how to log in
Now to install proton dB...if I can find the install program.
It runs without a problem via steam for me on Linux mint. I don't know how to do whatever setup steam does manually, but you can just launch it through steam and sign in with your anet account. (There's a config option to open the login window instead of using your steam account for login)
There's numerous howtos out there, and it works like a charm.
Just add it to Steam/Lutris and go, it's not worth an entire blog post or video about.
I did not want to put it this way, but essentially: this.
My employer doesn't care what you think.
