  • For what would make me completely move, I just want my games to work, I know a ton of effort has been made on that front, but Nvidia drivers kinda stink so performance is a bit worse or completely unusable in certain programs on wayland at least.

    Stuff like Wabbajack Skyrim/FO mod organizer modlist support for Linux too, along with modding other games in general usually requires windows because of dll hooking being very common.



  • See a lot of “no higher Ed, just learned from experience.” any tips on things to do to gain more experience in sysadmin adjacent skills?

    I like to think I’m quite competent with Windows/Linux, been a computer geek since I was really young, in a senior “tech support” position, but the kind of things I do at work are usually less advanced then the random side projects I do for fun… I’m basically the Linux guy for our group but that’s not saying much as the support is next to 0 until you get to an actual product role.

    It feels like you’d have to have the job to get the experience, but maybe I’m just not aware of what/if there are any particular projects or things to do that could help with more sysadmin side knowledge.

    To give a quick easy example, I have a friend who just started a server maintence type role at a different company and was tasked with setting up a Linux server, she ran into several snags trying to set it up with the documentation she was provided by the company, I asked what distro was it, and what commands was she running? Turns out it was just that she waa given instructions for YUM rather then APT (it was Ubuntu) lol
