The last time I used Linux (Ubuntu and years ago), I spent at least 6 hours trying to install graphics drivers hahaha...

I'll have to give it another shot though with my HP Omen.

Nvidia can be a pain on Fedora.

Even on Windows.

*Sigh.........this is true...While playing Warhammer 2, Nvidia geforce experience keeps crashing randomly on me. I restart and it's fine.
Before having this issue, I was having some other funky driver issue by Nvidia with the same game. Had to reinstall Windows (didn't mind though, it needed to be done)

@scottalanmiller Haha, yeah because the base is likely still Wine right? Wine is not an emulator!

@scottalanmiller said in Malwarebytes question: renew subscription??:

Seems like a waste in most situations.

Kinda what I was thinking but I wanted to hear what other's thought.

We use the free Malwarebytes via Chocolatey when needed and remove it when

Haha that's awesome!

No. Sign up for Microsoft ATP or at least weigh the cost difference.
You get a ton of benefits with that licensing too, plus an incredible dashboard.

@WrCombs Wow, yeah I think I'd rather shove my junk in a pencil sharpener

@dafyre Hahaha

@WrCombs I think Microsoft is probably the worst...or at least that's the worst that comes to mind right now.
Wait time wasn't too bad, but the language barrier can be so tough...

Verizon was always stupid fast to answer their phone all dozens and dozens and dozens of times I've had to call.

Airwatch is annoying to talk to, but they don't put you on hold for too long.

ATT was a nightmare to deal with...

I hate dealing with Trend Micro...

Pitney Bowes! Oh man their hold times are ridiculous

Probably the worst hold time and people to deal with are Government entities though lol.

@WrCombs OH I just LoVe BeInG oN hOlD WiTh VeNdOrS!

@WrCombs Definition of myself...ugh.
Can we just do like the matrix and I can download information to my brain?
"I know Kung Fu"

@dafyre But muh Onedrive, Office 365 sub and...I guess that's it lol
Hmmm LibreOffice and...um...Well I dunnoh

@srsmith But I'm spoiled though, performance can't be as good as windows right? I could just imagine the frame rate drops and stuttering now...
Am I too picky? Haha

@flaxking I love writing Powershell scripts, but I can't see myself full time developing, despite my wanting to learn C# or Jquery.
Hmm, I think I'll try and continue down the Azure Devops path, get that cert and go from there.

@scottalanmiller Yeah because having to constantly watch your back for other players adds a ridiculous amount of stress! Hah...Makes me think of my World of Warcraft days.

I don't mind that stuff, it's the online stuff... I don't have time to commit, and want to make sure that I can play the game 20 years from now kind of thing.

YES exactly, great point.
Eh and I didn't mind either, aside from the couple of times I was ganked for several hours. Though that sort of thing was and is few and far between.
Heh and they got theirs.

No Man's Sky is now my to exploration and building game.

Excellent choice! I've stuck with NMS since it was released and have always found it relaxing to explore. After all of this time, I think I am still on my first galaxy and have yet to reach the center...

It just got boring for me, especially when I got to the center and...well...you just reset back to square one...

It's giving me system recovery or checkup options. I'll run the checkup but at this point I'll put Fedora on it. #FUWindows

Windows: "But muh vidya games!"

Linux: Proton B!tch3s!!!

Apparently I'm behind the times.
So I take it this Proton replaced Wine?

Got announced like a year ago almost. Steam was fed up with microsoft and dedicated some crazy amount of resources to write compatibility layers for things like DirectX that were always the "lock in" of Windows. Proton is doing some amazing stuff.

I've got games running on it already.

Heh, well there's something for me to focus on! :face_with_stuck-out_tongue:

@kamidon right! Seriously though, I'm running sfc/scannow to see if it will show anything

That and what Scotth said as well. dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth and Chkdsk /r
Best to do Chkdsk last...that one is always risky...Roll the die one way and it'll slaughter your OS and then of course sometimes it'll fix your issue.
Don't recall if DISM has ever fixed anything for me, but it's worth trying.
