Windows 11’s Notepad continues to get Copilot-powered AI features – a handy addition to a tool whose main appeal has always been simplicity and minimalism. Not all users are happy, however, with some saying AI features are overkill.

Oh yeah, it's really not hard. Or so I have heard. From a friend.

Haven't seen a single Linux game to download from torrents. All are for windows. Care to ask your friend how/where he pirates AAA games on Linux?

[-] DupaCycki@lemmy.world 14 points 2 days ago

I had a dream where somebody pirated windows games on Linux and just played them through wine/proton. Just like... you know, legally purchased copies.

Of course, as an upstanding citizen I haven't tried this in real life.

So you still need to run Windows, but now with extra performance overhead

You seem to really want this to not work, but I suggest actually looking into how far gaming on Linux has come. Proton is actual magic.

[-] rob_t_firefly@lemmy.world 12 points 2 days ago

Neither Wine or Proton require running Windows. They're compatibility layers which allow Linux to operate software intended for Windows.

You may be thinking about when someone emulates a full virtual Windows machine within Linux, which is more resource-intensive. The overhead and performance impact of a compatibility layer like Wine or Proton is generally negligible compared to running such a VM.

Wine is not an emulator. It *translates* windows code to linux at runtime. Bazzite wouldn't beat windows at so many benchmarks if it was a virtual machine.

Also I wouldn't know but if you are looking for where to potentially find native linux binaries for games that support it, you should probably go ask that question on totally unrelated counter strike forums

Proton. You run the Windows version sometimes it runs better than it does on Windows

[-] Pondis@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Look up Heroic or Lutris, both run Windows games in Linux

[-] rob_t_firefly@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Running most Windows games on Linux is easy nowadays, regardless of how you acquired them.

[-] Jankatarch@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Idk if you got it from the source directly inatead of websites that just reupload with malware, you would see linux versions BEFORE windows.

Every windows site and maybe zamunda? I think that's what he meant?

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.
