Isn't ghostbsd just freebsd with the mate desktop and a custom theme ?

Almost. They use a different repo.

so let me say: on my HP with AMD ;500GB GhostBSD, 1TB maybe Win10 bc of gaming; on my spare lap - I could give it a try and replace the Linux OS with FreeBSD

It took me a long time to find out, you can't exactly do with it, what is described in the FreeBSD handbook. In that respect it is a (valuable) subset of FreeBSD.

Sounds like a plan! 😊

They began another project: FuryBSD

biggest spyware ever produced

One shouldn't / can't use Win10 for ANYTHING except for GAMING any longer

you can't believe whats inside a regular fresh win10 installation until you see a list with all the killswitches for their spy functionality deeply buried in their system

actually I could ditch Win10; but there is EpicGames; Uplay and the shit isn't working atm properly on Win10 :D

the epic games launcher runs with Lutris quite well

Have u tested some games?

I tested the game 'What remains of Edith Finch' and it worked well

and for steam games you have proton which works like native windows in most cases

I tried that before. Worked not so well for me. Pumped GBs of Downloads into my steam app and had a lot of game instabilities

Mh you can always look up the protondb there is often a fix for a specific game

But one game I haven't managed yet to get run on Linux ; it's called "OMSI 2" - I get an error of missing 32bit dep

directx

Like I said before: I'm not too deep into WINE or similar. Tested it just for a couple of times and a few hours. Was always somewhat disappointed.

but only with a subset of my steam games (which were capable of running in a Linux environment, of course)

Most of my steam games run on Linux with Proton. Some games have much better performance than on win10

I managed to run all my windows games on Linux Even the ones which hadn't official proton compatibilty support

Really!? Now you made me curious. Need to experiment, soon.

thats cool

I even got Far Cry 5 running with working vehicle steering and that was a challenge And I have dishonored 2 running which was also quite tricky And all was running smoothly

I wish I could game again 😭😭😭

Does anyone know a good blog starting point in order to get the most out of such a proton trial?

?

My old GPU died Then I got a used r9 290x from a friend but I can't get the driver to work I think its also dead

A year ago I heard sth very strange to be said by a computer admin/seller: he told me he wouldn't know of any single AMD/ATI graphics card older than 3 yrs. All dying....

But the card that died was a gtx 780 It was about 6 years old

I referred to your r9 290x

setup / tweaking / recommendations of proton

Well, on my new HP 14 I've got AMD Ryzen 5 3500U, which is pretty nice tbh; my dell lap has an Intel HD Family card

I still have the amd fx 8350 in my PC 😂

But I want to wait till the end of the year when Amd big navi gets released Then I will get me a big navi with some Rzyen 7 4xxx
