What about a diesel version?

They do and it auto activates when you add a Microsoft account. It cannot be turned off on the home edition as it doesn't have the full bitlocker settings. Came across this one on some machine i was working on a while ago and i ended up having to pull the SSD from the customers machine and plug it into something with pro to actually disable bitlocker.

Been running warframe under linux for a couple of years myself by now. Pretty much just install it on steam, set it to proton 9 and it will run perfectly fine. Soulframe also runs under lutris with proton-ge.

You clearly havent heard of swedish trains.

The railroad here is a bad joke at this point, mainly due to shutting down the organization that was responsible for maintainence and shoving it into another agency that has no clue. As a bonus the new agency doesn't even do the repair work themselves but hires contractors at the lowest bidder. So stuff breaks constantly, which causes delays.

At this point just getting the rail network to "normal" standards would cost billions. Let alone expanding it to cope with current traffic levels.

Logitech, razer and corsair has all worked for me. Of those the razer trinity was probably the best and the logitech g600 i use now is good as well. Input-remapper can remap them no problem. The G600 has a weird issue with piper DPI settings being a bit weird at random on reboot in that the vertical dpi tends to get set way higher than the horizontal and you have to reload the settings in piper for it to work properly. When it comes to the software the corsair one i had was the best as ckb-next could handle everything including the keybinds. The hardware on that mouse was crap though and the scroll wheel died after like 5 months.

Myself i run "Firedragon" which is a fork of floorp. As for why its mostly because it came with the distro i run (garuda linux) and it works nicely so i didnt really feel i had to swap it.

I usually jump between Guild Wars 2 and the Elder Scrolls Online myself. But Warframe has been on the side of them as well since forever, but its more of MMO lite.

GW2 is very nice when it comes to combat and such, even if the large world events aren't really my cup of tea as the FX gets pretty bad. The story is decent enough and there is no subscription option at all. You do however need to buy the expansions and the living world story to get the entire game, i think there is a "complete pack" on steam. But its free to play the base game even though free accounts are very limited and should be seen more as an endless trial.

ESO has a far better world and deeper lore than GW2 does but i find its combat to be especially awful. A subscription is practically mandatory if you want to do crafting as there are a /lot/ of crafting materials and not a lot of inventory space. With the subscription you get access to the crafting bag which is just unlimited storage for crafting materials. The subscription also gives you access to all the episodes and expansions apart from the latest one. The story is often good, but nothing too exceptional.

Warframe is completely different as its a third person shooter. Its got some of the best movement in the business imo. Its entirely free to play as well with ways to earns everything in game, including the premium currency as its tradable between players. Its got some of the wildest lore of any game ive played and as such is quite unique in its take on sci fi. The story is great, but relatively short. If you do give this one a shot and hate the gameplay its not going to be for you as there is a lot of grind. But if you want to play a space ninja/walking WMD bouncing off of the walls while murdering hordes of enemies its definitely worth a try.

This one is especially fun on windows 11 home. At least it was some time ago on some machine i worked on. Since home doesn't have the bitlocker settings fully you cannot disable bitlocker encryption. It would also auto enable sometimes even if you don't have a microsoft account, which means it doesn't back the key up anywhere. Not sure it does that anymore, i hope not, but i expect a lot of people to lose their data to this crap in the future.

In either case at least i find that full disk encryption on most machines is just overkill as it only really protects in the scenario the device is stolen and someone tries to pull data off of it that way. But in the vast majority of cases when people get their data stolen its done with malware, which disk encryption does /nothing/ to prevent.

As far as i know most MMOs don't run heavy anti cheat stuff as they are built to not trust the clients so i suspect a lot will work fine.

Some i know work perfectly fine are:

Guild wars 2, both through lutris and proton. Back when i originally swapped to linux i had some issues getting the commonly used dps meter (arcdps) to work with proton. It requires some optional features to be enabled to allow direct x overlay windows etc. Worked first try through lutris though and ive been playing the game on and off for the past year through that without issues.

The Elder Scrolls Online, works perfectly fine through proton. You can even get the standard addon manager (minion) working through standard wine and just point it at the right folder for addons to work. A few that require running programs to update stuff will be fiddly though. (Like tamriel trade centre)

Final fantasy XIV has an unofficial launcher (XIVlauncher) you can snag up on the flathub that makes installing and running the game easy. I have not played the steam version, but i imagine it works as well.

Warframe works fine through steam, but its barely an MMO.

Second life works fine with the common viewer, firestorm, having a native linux version.

Hey, at least it told you. When i was fiddling to get disney plus working on my own setup it just refused to play until i changed the reported OS to windows. Nothing else was changed. I really have no idea why they would go out of their way to block specific operating systems.

I could see this working for either running cooling and such for refrigerated cargo or if they stick a battery in the trailer. In the latter case it would be possible to just charge it for free while the trailer sits in a lot somewhere. Then when the truck comes they plug in the battery and use the stored up power.

 

Almost 4 years since this happened.

 

You know its bad when the memory puns the test.
