The only problem(s) I have on linux are either my own fault or because Tim Sweeney decides he wants to make it a problem.
Also, NVidia.
On my laptop with nvidia (msi, debian 12), if I unplug the charger the screen orientation goes from landscape to portrait, everything is tilted 90 degrees. I hate this laptop, so I rarely use it.
Wait, I read a description of this exact issue (or an eerily similar one) a few weeks ago here on Lemmy. Wasn't that you ?
Hm, not that I remember. My memory isn't the best though.
I'll try to find that post again, just in case
Driver 555 Fixes most of the problems, making the nvidia experience almost flawless. 560 dropping soon too
They fixed one specific issue afaik, not by actually fixing it but working around it, and they didn't address the real, main issue: The driver being closed source. Until then, there are and will always be issues that aren't present for AMD, because the latter has thousands of experts working, fixing and adapting other programs for it for free, around the clock.
Doubly your fault for deciding to give that twat any time of your day
My wife loves fortnite, not much I can do tbh
As much as I hate him, a large majority of the games that are given away on that platform are fully DRM-free, and that's pretty damn cool
Can you download the installers for these games?
Sadly, no
What's the fuss over an "installer"? You just need a folder with the game's files. If you really insist, that folder can be rolled up into a zip file dot exe.
What I really mean is: can I keep a backup of the game that I can play later without having to use their launcher?
