Yeah, I find it more varied and there’s less ads. Ads are still there though, but they’ve been relevant to what I’m searching for so far.

Qwant has been decent for me. Try it out and see how it goes

Played a few missions after installing Linux. Works fine with Proton Hotfix enabled in Steam. Honestly feels like it has less stutters too.

I’ll look into this too. I’ve had this issue with TibSun for years but the unofficial patch from cncnet usually fixed it.

A lot of the stuff I come across in Linux makes more sense than in Windows honestly. It’s just completely different and that makes it hard when you’re used to messing with .exe files, .dll files and regedits.

This worked for TibSun. Thanks!

Got the cncnet patch installed. Now to check if the patch actually fix the black menu issue.

Edit: Didn't fix the issue for that game. But I now know how to uninstall patches using .exe files!

I used to prefer cncnet back in the day. I noticed they have Linux builds for a lot of Westwood games so if I fail to make the EA App version work I'll just get that or openRA.

Absolutely incredible info. Saving this for later!

It’s passable so I don’t really mind it. It uses Bing’s image search if I remember right.

As someone who used to love pre-reels instagram a lot. I hope this happens.

Or that Pixelfed takes off

Been using Qwant for about a month. Feels like of like old Google did, very happy.

Only place it’s lacking is image search, but Google has been pretty shite for the past year too.

I’m not changing anytime soon. I ended up choosing Nobara after this thread ☺️

Ended up going with Nobara KDE. So far just about everything I've tried to do just worked flawlessly.
