How is gaming on linux? I really don't want to "upgrade" to windows 11 but I also barely have any time to game in the first place let alone fool around with settings and drivers for several hours every time I install a new game or update and existing one.
Thanks to Valve, Linux compatibility has become industry standard.
The only teal obstacle is some anti cheat software, mostly kernel level anti cheat.
So if you want to play shooters like fortnite, pubg, valorant or rainbow six siege, you are out of luck.
Otherwise, you probably won't have any issues.
Also mod support is hit or miss
Lutris and steam do most of the heavy lifting for you. Driver side should work with no fiddling required for AMD atleast, somebody with Nvidia can chime in if it's the same for them too.
You may need to add a couple Launch options for certain games on steam here and there or swap proton versions.
Games do sometimes break but then you wait a day or two and it's usually fixed.
Question is what games are you playing? If it's CoD and Fortnite I'd say stick with Windows, they won't work.
I switched Windows our with Linux Zorin some weeks ago. Everything works perfect as well, I can play all the games I have on Steam
I mean if I laid off %25 of my dev team we would see a boat in productivity. They leech time from one of my senior devs and don't get any better. Def getting rid of 2/4 useless guys and giving 1 of them as much of an opportunity I've given any body and one is going to be next to go of he doesn't shape up.
Attitude like that You sound like you would be a horrible manager. No wonder they don't have the motivation or support to perform better
I'm really laid back and have given them a long time to learn our code base and how to contribute. When I have to pull multiple all nighters and the end of a long release cycle to fix or finish what they worked on it's not worth it. I basically can only code at night because I spend my day in meetings, planning or next release or helping people with their stuff.
We work remote so either they are really dumb and won't ever get it or they slack off all the time and wait till the last min to slap shit together and it isn't right.
Real life doesn't work like that
They are literally useless. even when something is explained to them they still mess it up, or need the same thing explained again the next time. Most of the commits they have was someone wasting their time to explain change by change how to do it. It would have been worth the time investment if they learned and were able to do things on their own. at this point but they aren't and freeing up the people who have to consistently spend their time helping them will be a net positive in productivity.
They didn't do that. They went "Eenie meenie meiney moe" in the general direction of various PMs.
And the good ones run away as fast as they can. Good luck with it!
I have a bunch of good developers, and my best guys have been around for years. I have newer people that have been on the project that have been around for the same amount of time as the problem people who get their work done and learn and get better consistently.
