I started running openSUSE Tumbleweed full time at the beginning of this year!

I truly must thank the folks at Steam/Proton, GE-Proton, and wemod-launcher on GitHub for allowing me to play my games exactly like I did on Windows. I can't stress to anyone who isn't playing on Linux just how good it really is (for me, at least)!

I have beaten at least 10 games while on Linux. Games like: Metaphor: Refantazio, Persona 3 Reloaded, DOOM: The Dark Ages, Wolfenstein: The Old Blood, Wolfenstein: The New Order, Mass Effect Legendary Edition (all three games), Oblivion Remastered, and recently System Shock (Remake). Just to name a few off the top of my head!

I still have a Windows SSD dedicated to anything I MUST use on there (mainly modding games, logging back into openSUSE, then pulling those files straight from the Windows SSD onto my openSUSE SSD, fucking love that!), but that is mostly being unused because I found the wonders of QEMU/KVM Virtual Machine Manager. I use the VM to sideload apps onto my iPhone, for save editing, or for testing a Windows only app before trying to run it with Bottles or something else.

Logging into Linux feels like home, while logging onto Windows feels like someone else's home. :P

How do you side load apps onto iPhone?

[–] LucidNightmare@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 5 days ago (2 children)

I use a program called Sideloadly!

Obviously, just be careful on what you install, as with anything else! :-]

I'm guessing this only works with older iOS?

Nope! I have my iPhone always updated to the newest version (unless it is a new revamp like iOS 26 will be).
