Tetris Effect: Connected is listed on ProtonDB as Platinum and it is Deck Verified, so it should work OOTB
I've Aokana, Senren Banka and Qualia installed. They work by simply calling Wine on the exe files. They're NekoNyan/Sekai Project versions of the games, however and it seems that the title Floral Flowlove isn't yet released by NekoNyan. If shit hits the fan bad, VMs are available (from VirtualBox to more advanced things like QEMU) and dual booting is IMO a valid option if you can afford to have two different HDDs in your computer or you have enough space for both OSes.
For the third title, I honestly have no idea. I'm sorry, but I simply can't even extract anything.
Pirated games on Linux is a mixed bag. There is one group that releases native games and Windows games that have pre-made prefixes and sometimes Wine versions. You can download the games pre-installed and then run them through Wine-ge or Proton (imo better) directly. I have had great results with these two in the past.
I honestly don't know what you meant in the final spoilerbox, so I will just skip it.
As a frame of reference, if the game is on Steam, there's a high chance it works OOTB or with minor tweaks. If not, it will depend on the game's popularity and how little Windows only components it uses.

It's an All-In-One PC which can run osu!stable, Minecraft, among us, DDLC and other low end games pretty nicely BUT it sucks in lazer. Like the performer drop is HIGHLY noticeable.
That's, I think, 3 of 5 good to go: Floral Flowlove, DEEMO -Reborn- and, somehow, DJMAX RESPECT V since XIGNCODE3 actually went on to support Linux, apparently (excellent work Valve!!).

If Pop!_OS doesn't work for you, sure thing, look for more distros. If it does, don't distrohop just for the sake of doing that.
Also Fedora sucks for me. Of all editions I tried, only the Gnome ISO managed to boot past the bootloading screen Other ones have checksum errors
but Ive been following a web dev course that has me on ubuntu, and honestly compared to the times ive had to open a cmd window in windows, doing terminal work is a lot more inuitive with linux, file paths make more sense, theres built in manuals, etc. while with windows they actively try and keep you from needing/wanting to open the command line except to copy paste a magic command from google.
You'll also most likely have to use Linux too for basic programming and stuff but WSL or a vm are more than enough for that.
From what I understand, I can program perfectly well on Windows, and there are even specific cases of things that cannot be done on Linux, not to mention that I'm already used to Windows 10, so I should stick with windows, and maybe consider using a VM or WSL.
And it's possible in lab to still have Windows only stuff, such as Matlab.
DO NOT JOIN THE COMMUNITY
Microsoft Office as a win32 app is its own adventure if you need it on Linux. You're lucky if you can get away with LibreOffice, and that also works fine on Windows.
Video acceleration is leagues silly on Linux:
I got tired of Linux games a few months ago, found Windows boring, and now I'm on FreeBSD :p
FreeBSD is offering me better performance (30min vs 40min compile) and I'm liking how it does things the deeper I look into stuff.

Floral Flowlove (フローラル・フローラブ)
I have a raw dump, for starters.
Some forums out there call out the Siglus engine as the problematic when it comes to launching this game, but what they don't know is the game not only needs the Japanese locale on Windows but as well the Japanese timezone setting. If I'm down to the NekoNyan translated release, well, crap, this is the one going into the Bottles I guess......assuming it works there, if I don't need Proton for it.
If this one works, automatically any other visual novel should work.

Whether Wine or Proton will do I'm not sure, since while there's the stuff like Lutris and Heroic, whether they can take in DMM Game Player or not is the question.

Great guide for convincing players to try Linux. Although I advise to use a more up-to-date distro like Fedora or Ubuntu since Linux Mint updates only periodically which would cause issues on people that run on more newer hardware (which is common nowadays).
I've seen countless people trying Linux for the first time through Linux Mint and almost all of them encounter issues. The main cause of their issues is mostly due to an outdated kernel out of the box and they had to research for hours when simply using a later kernel version from the Kernel Manager fixes all of their issues. A lot of first-time Linux users fail to encounter this solution and just quits overall before they can come across it.
As of now, Linux Mint uses a more up-to-date kernel that supports most hardware out right now, which makes it fine to use right now, but it'll get outdated sooner than you think and in the future, the same thing will happen again due to newer hardware coming out every year while Linux Mint updates every 2 years.
I recommend Fedora or Fedora-based distros. They're very beginner-friendly and the only hard part of using Fedora is from the installer. Once you've passed that, you'll run into little to no issues using your PC. You can stay up-to-date while being very stable with Fedora.

Great guide for convincing players to try Linux. Although I advise to use a more up-to-date distro like Fedora or Ubuntu since Linux Mint updates only periodically which would cause issues on people that run on more newer hardware (which is common nowadays).
I've seen countless people trying Linux for the first time through Linux Mint and almost all of them encounter issues. The main cause of their issues is mostly due to an outdated kernel out of the box and they had to research for hours when simply using a later kernel version from the Kernel Manager fixes all of their issues. A lot of first-time Linux users fail to encounter this solution and just quits overall before they can come across it.
As of now, Linux Mint uses a more up-to-date kernel that supports most hardware out right now, which makes it fine to use right now, but it'll get outdated sooner than you think and in the future, the same thing will happen again due to newer hardware coming out every year while Linux Mint updates every 2 years.
I recommend Fedora or Fedora-based distros. They're very beginner-friendly and the only hard part of using Fedora is from the installer. Once you've passed that, you'll run into little to no issues using your PC. You can stay up-to-date while being very stable with Fedora.
So, I already use linux as my main computer, but I recently started mapping in the Lazer version on linux.
It's pretty fun, But I can't figure out how to actually upload any maps when using linux.

Hi,
You need to run the stable version to upload (I use wine to run it), since uploading beatmaps isn't implemented in lazer yet. I just do all my mapping in lazer, then export a file and move it to my stable folder.

why is this in off-topic
I will definitely switch full time once Windows 10 goes EOL
osu! (not lazer) works good on FreeBSD 14.1 through 32-bit Wine! I did winetricks mono_remove, dotnet20, dotnet40, and dotnet45, but I'm pretty sure only dotnet45 is needed.
Can't use Lazer because no native FreeBSD compatibility, it's win64-only (FreeBSD Wine is either 32 or 64, no both, I chose 32) and it won't compile (something dotnet-related iirc doesn't support FreeBSD).

Great to hear that osu! stable runs under BSD. I don't think peppy will waste time making Lazer compatible on BSD, mostly because BSD isn't ran all that much as a desktop OS, like Linux. The fact Lazer even supports Linux is great though.Espionage724 wrote:

Yeah. Try it out in a VM, see if you like it and then decide if you're gonna switch.
I have installed Linux Mint 22 Cinnamon on my 2016 AIO HP PC successfully! The reason why I am stating the year of my pc is because of the fact that it has shitty specs... 4 GB DDR3 RAM (ugh), Intel Celeron J3060 (trash), Intel Integrated Graphics with 128 MB VRAM (also trash).
I haven't tried out mint to its full potential yet. Let alone I haven't opened any of of the LibreOffice apps too. The Software Manager/installer seems to be pretty handy. The terminal feels much much more useful than CMD.
Thanks a lot winnyace for helping me go through the installation process, the boot process and mounting/unmounting the drives and fixing the partitions... <3
Also, for me, in order to detect the Windows Boot Manager, I had to enable Secure Boot which forcefully enabled UEFI mode. To do this, I had to freshly installed windows 10 again, and I also has to convert the partitions to GPT (as UEFI requires the partitions to be in GPT instead of MBR). After freshly installing windows 10 and setting it up. I then proceeded to install Linux mint. Only after all of this, my Mint detected the Windows Boot Manager and it even installed it automatically to the partition which I created for Linux Mint! (It is of 128 GB). To dual boot the easy way I personally recommend enabling UEFI so that your windows boot manager is detected in Mint. (IMO, as this worked for me!)

I'm probably going to study Information Systems starting next year. Do you think I should start using Linux? ChatGPT recommended Linux Mint, but I read some people online saying it's not really necessary, and now I'm confused. For programming and things like that, is Linux so superior to Windows?
would imagine its worth it just to become familiar with unix, since most servers aren't going to be running a full on windows OS.Behrauder wrote:

but Ive been following a web dev course that has me on ubuntu, and honestly compared to the times ive had to open a cmd window in windows, doing terminal work is a lot more inuitive with linux, file paths make more sense, theres built in manuals, etc. while with windows they actively try and keep you from needing/wanting to open the command line except to copy paste a magic command from google.
If you're gonna use your pc for studies don't use Linux, you'll 100% have to use stuff that's only on Windows.Behrauder wrote:

You'll also most likely have to use Linux too for basic programming and stuff but WSL or a vm are more than enough for that.
I don't know why people have this disposition that you have to be a programmer to use or need to use linux to program. Like, that makes no sense.
I mean, sure. Most Linux distributions have it easier when you want to install a dependency library or something, but like, on windows you could just download visual studio and start coding.
This disposition of "hacking" just to have a usable operating system makes no sense, too. People, we don't use Spectrums or C64's anymore. Even then, you usually just use a load command on such computers to run software.
If anything, I think TempleOS fits this false Linux disposition a lot more, because you could actually edit the OS code on runtime.

I'm a student in a CS major and most students use Windows. At the labs, it is a mixture of Windows and Linux. Some teachers have expressed directly that they don't really like Linux. Ultimately, many of the things you will learn during your time there will be on Windows, with Linux supported. If you want to use Linux, go ahead and install it. Linux Mint is honestly fine. Linux is, in my opinion, better for a developer, but it depends a lot on what you're also programming.Behrauder wrote:

I was forced during the two years out of three of college here to use Windows once because the library I used was from the DOS era and it was only ported over to Windows. Yes, you hear that right, WinBGI was something I """learnt""". WSL or a VM also works, however, if you don't want to bother with the full thing.Karmine wrote:

I agree with this. I honestly believe that, for basic things, Linux has a better desktop experience than Windows or MacOS. There are caveats, obviously, but seriously, for someone who does basic office work and multimedia, Linux works just as well as Windows, if not better.Isshiki Kaname wrote:

From what I understand, I can program perfectly well on Windows, and there are even specific cases of things that cannot be done on Linux, not to mention that I'm already used to Windows 10, so I should stick with windows, and maybe consider using a VM or WSL.
linux is good for git, I dont think you're gonna use that.
everything else go with windows.
you're probably gonna get an OS architecture class of some sort, you can decide for yourself what better fits you by then.

Try to get a dual boot, with both Linux and Windows. If you do advanced stuff with computer you will most likely need Linux, and imo it's better having a dual boot than WSL or a virtual machine.Behrauder wrote:

And it's possible in lab to still have Windows only stuff, such as Matlab.
Yea, it is better to just start dual booting at first, so when you get the Linux vibes, you can choose if you keep dual booting (if you need something that Linux doesn't support), or switch to Linux altogether.Corne2Plum3 wrote:

if upgrading to win11 isnt an option for you (same case for me since my computer doesnt supported, why I hopped to linux in the first place) I'd tell ya to do your research on linux, watch videos and wait for Windows 10 Support (the security one it is I think) to end in 2025, then maybe think or try to hop over to linux and try it outBehrauder wrote:

Hi, I have a simple question, is mapping in stable possible without any problems?
I have been using ubuntu server for about 6 years, so I am not afraid of using the terminal and doing troubleshooting, but I have no experience with the desktop.
If possible, I am considering switching to Linux as there is no reason for me to continue using windows.

Unless you're using Arch, Ubuntu, or Mint, you'll have to get actively involved in patent games with codecs. In Fedora's case, they use RPM Fusion, which had the fun ordeal of mesa-freeworld (AMDGPU video accel) causing broken graphcis stacks when their package clashed with Fedora's package on genuine updates. openSUSE seems lucky, but Pacman still exists.Winnyace wrote:

Microsoft Office as a win32 app is its own adventure if you need it on Linux. You're lucky if you can get away with LibreOffice, and that also works fine on Windows.
Video acceleration is leagues silly on Linux:
- VLC can't do VA-API (Intel/AMD); yeah there's VDPAU-to-VAAPI, but that's silly vs straight DXVA
- Other players can do VA-API/anything under the sun: Fair, but you gotta find em, and know what you're doing (not a default with mpv Linux/FreeBSD; default under any sane player under Windows)
- Firefox's handling of HEVC is real funny :p (they claim to not support it under some good-guy royalties thing, while silently supporting it Android and Windows; Windows doing it through MFT; Firefox can hardware-accel HEVC on Windows no problem free with device HEVC or that $1 thing)
