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.

Everyone should use Linux, it's just whether or not they can use Linux.
Exactly. I installed Pop OS and I fucking loved it!
...Up to the point where playing games without Steam and being able to stably & reliably access my NAS through the local network is at best a pain in the ass to achieve let alone maintain, if not impossible.
(And yes I did use Lutris for the former. Couldn't even fucking get Dragon Age: Origins up and running.)
I still really miss Linux but if it's not gonna work for the two things I use a PC for the most, then hey what can a girl do? Lol.
I am sorry but wut? https://www.protondb.com/app/47810 Also try to run it using project port proton https://github.com/Castro-Fidel/PortWINE About NAS need more info about ur configuration.
My reaction exactly (pretty much) except yeah it wouldn't even launch. It was the weirdest fucking thing ever. Maybe it was because I wasn't installing it through Steam. I was running the GOG release and installing it through Lutris.
I uh...already reinstalled Windows... ^^"
I can do that!
The model is QNAP TS-453D, and all I wanted to do was access it via the file manager via the local network. Just like I would in Windows by going to Network in the sidebar.
The NAS thing is really weird, because that shit's what linux is really good at. Hell, your NAS probably has linux runningon it.
Unfortunately, that info is not enough to help you troubleshoot the problem.
Kind of my thoughts exactly.
What else do you need?
Gog repacks usually work better than original games. ,what's ur videocard? Usually game not start in case if driver not installed or it's installed but it's too new for ur videocard it's related to proprietary driver of nvidia.
Nvidia RTX 2060.
I also have a QNAP and I have no problem mounting the SMB shares into a folder in the filesystem. If you ever want to try again, feel free to touch base with me and I'll share my config.
Thanks! I'll keep that in mind!
That being said, why would you have to use SMB. I thought that was only for when a machine you need to access through the local network is a Windows machine.
Isn't QNAP, well, not?
I do use SMB as my network has a mix of Linux and Windows machines, so it's easier for me to just admin one single protocol, and SMB works pretty well with both, after a little fine-tuning.
