Yeah, ofc I'm talking about wine/proton, proton is wine+ and wine is an emulator whose name translates to Wine Is Not an Emulator, funny. PoE is not an old game at all, and it's quite hardware demanding, the leader of the non casual ARPG market.

Krisp and noisetorch are perfectly good too

Sadly, krisp can't even compare to the level of noise reduction I get from broadcast/rtxvoice, it completely eliminates annoying sounds (dogs barking, fan noise, random high pitched shouts from annoying friends. I can even even rub my beard to the mic while talking and what others hear is just a slight distortion in my voice. I have not tried noisetorch so I don't know, but I would be very surprised if they get the level of reduction that I have from nvidia.

The last time I played with linux was about 3ish years ago. I might install linux on my old SSD when I upgrade my pc and get new drives, just to have dual boot to test stuff without fear of breaking anything (it's nbd to create partitions and to expand a drive and all that stuff, but it feels like working at home), but lutrix and/or proton were already running quite high and mighty when I tried.

There's other stuff too, although this is quite minor, the propietary programs to control the lighting of my keyboard/mouse are not on linux, and those are VERY important (/s).

it's not that I'm viscerally against linux, it's just the reaction i get from the lemmy linux evangelists :sweat_smile:
