nocturne@slrpnk.netto Technology@lemmy.world•7 years later, Valve's Proton has been an incredible game-changer for LinuxEnglish6·2 days agoThis was 2006/2007 I think. Every article I read about it had a different solution and none worked fully.
I also remember when I asked for help on wow centric forums being crappy replies of “don’t use Linux” and when I would post on Linux centric spaces getting “don’t play wow” replies.
nocturne@slrpnk.netto Technology@lemmy.world•7 years later, Valve's Proton has been an incredible game-changer for LinuxEnglish6·2 days agoYears ago I made the switch to Linux, then I wanted to play WOW again but it would not run on my Linux machines, so I started to dual boot. Then I began to wonder why I was keeping Linux installed.
Eventually I made the shift to macOS because I worked in theatre and needed it for specific Mac only programs. But I still have a Lenovo legion that I am getting ready to swap over to Linux (not that all of the games I currently play do not run on macOS or my steam deck).
If I was able to get WOW running on Linux years ago I likely never would have swapped back to windows. And I am currently trying to convince my son to install Linux on his pc running windows 10.

nocturne@slrpnk.netto Star Trek@lemmy.zip•What Star Trek media did you watch in the last week? - 08/20/25English3·2 days agoWe watched Voyager S3E15,16,17&18. Lower Decks S3E8&9, was kind of hoping Mariner would be out of Star Fleet for more than one episode, but I liked the wrap up with all of the Cali class ships… And of course Boimler had to announce each one as it arrived.

nocturne@slrpnk.netto Star Trek@lemmy.zip•What Star Trek media did you watch in the last week? - 08/13/25English2·9 days agoAfter learning of Dr. Mbenga’s plot armor, we checked out TOS S2E19 A Private Little War. This was my wife’s first introduction to TOS Klingons. The episode was generally under whelming, although it did make me wonder if the Lothar of the Hill People on SNL was from this episode.
We also kept current with SNW, watching S3E5.
More VOY was watched. We finished S3E9 Future’s End II, E10 Warlord, holy crow can Jennifer Lien act when she wants! E11 The Q and the Grey, ugh boring Q episode. And E12 Macrocosm. We started E13 Fair Trade, but had to watch in parts because my wife cannot stand Neelix and it was too much for her.

There was a bit of getting your lips in the proper form.
I used to practice after school while everyone was at work, sometimes I would sit on the living room couch watching after school cartoons and practice the conch during commercials.

The Sims keeps locking up. I appreciate that you went above and beyond, but it’s done. Stick a fork in it.
I wish I had found you nearly 20 years ago to help me get it running.
