From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I was talking to my dad yesterday and he talked about how he dual booted windows and Linux in his college days. I immediately left to download Ubuntu, I feel so dumb for forgetting it's an option. I literally only use windows so I can play Fortnite with friends. PSA: you can have both Linux and Windows, or you can use a vm in Linux. Be (mostly) free from Microsoft's clammy hands.

i dual boot bc of the adobe software i use for work and wine/proton doesn't work with the shit ton of skyrim mods I play with. straight up crashes.

re: Skyrim, could just be that some SKSE mod you're using needs some newer .net runtime or similar

could also be not enough vram (even if you have enough ram wine/proton could have it's vram allowance set too low)

 

If you don't already have one get a crashlogger, for SkyrimSE 1.5.97 I would recommend .NET Script Framework (and use SSE Engine Fixes skse64 preloader instead of DLL Plugin Loader)

 

If you already knew about all this and still having issues then don't mind me

crash logger doesn't work as I'm on AE and I'm not gonna downgrade because it would be too much effort to also downgrade a lot of my mods.

I didn't know about vram allowance settings within Wine/Proton, most of the time games are either hit or miss for me and I didn't give it much other thought
