Hhe still uses gentoo
CDid he survive?
Ko.O
CWhoa what
CAbsolute mad lad
Dgentoo docs are goated tbh
Dthe real challenge is having the patience for gentoo
KIt's my religion
Hcompiled kernel and everything on his horrible hp laptop. he had no idea what he was doing but followed documentation and the compile took i think 1 week
CGentoo is nice if you have a life though, there's always compile break time
CSo you can look outside, hear the birds chirping
CPC fan going full throttle in the background
CGood life
Hget aggressively attacked by seagulls if you live at my location 
Hthis is the computer equivalent of learning to cook by being sent off to an uninhabited island

Hhey he did it out of the blue after i had not talked to him for 3 years 
K"Install gentoo"
"Sure"
"Sure"
PPlayed it today a bit via Lutris, everything works normally, even DLSS. Didn't think to check for RTX but it's fully playable without any noticeable drawbacks
LEven on the BNet launcher it was fine. Played when it was first released on my Steam Deck and Nobara at the time.
LNow if they want to play Destiny 2, then they’re out of luck.
KThank you guys.
I just mean... if he wants to install stuff by himself ... I think lutris would be too "hacky"
But I guess, if I preinstall all the different launchers, it'd be fine.
Everything on Steam would be top tier, I don't worry about steam.
But also anti cheat maby ...

LI think another thing to consider when getting people into Linux is Lutris isn’t the only option. It does the job, but you can also just install it via Steam “Add to library” function. You’re bound to run into some space issues in the prefix, but it worked for my use-cases without ever fiddling with Lutris.
PDon't forget that Diablo 4 is in the Steam storefront now so it may work that way without any fiddling, if he doesn't have it there alternative methods will be necessary, but otherwise it might ease it for users
Klutris installer for D4 just works if you own it on BNET like I do
Kthe thing with lutris is
K1: Use the installers
K2: Add to steam and never open it again until you repeat step 1
KEven though blizzard can be a-holes in certain aspects, I heard they are even patching wine stuff :)
PI know, have it myself that way also, works perfectly fine
CI hate that the Ubisoft launcher doesn't close when their games do
LI haven’t heard any of that, but I know that they probably saw the Steam Deck and went “ah, this is actually a match made in heaven with our ARPG”. So they been pretty cool.
CBut clicking "stop" in Steam isn't the end of the world
LI just don’t buy Ubisoft, EA, or most other third party launcher games. It actually aligns nicely because they make games I really don’t care for.
CI bought most of Ubi's library with the Epic discount coupon back in the day
KYea.. but you know.. converting from xbox to Linux... with a whole library, that is fully playable on Windows (I THINK) would be weird to not use it ...
but yea.. as I wrote earlier with the others... I think I will talk with him again and discuss this. Sucks that MS doens't give us a proper xbox app ( i prefer steam anyway.. but still)

C20 bucks for 12 AAA games pretty much
Pthey probably go with anything that increases their sales and bottom line, nothing more or less
LThat’s any company.
LThere is no decision without financial gain.
