5 MINUTES to install and play a game? Including a bug fix? By a knowledgeable person?

That probably translates into an hour for me, if my googling gets lucky, or complete frustration more likely.

Damnit, I was hoping I could move to Linux, I've used it before, even had it dual-booting with Windows a couple of times, but I never got comfortable with it.

    I'm not trying to be antagonistic.

    I guess when the pain of Windows becomes high enough that it's worth the need to understand more about your computer, it's parts, and it's functioning I'll have to transition. I don't like having to "make things work." I had difficulty getting Radar, Sonarr, Docker, and Overseerr to run in Windows. It's still not configured right.

    What the hell chance will a guy like me have to not be frustrated working in a Linux environment? I'm willing to try hard things. But it doesn't come naturally.

    If you got those running in windows, given they're built for a Linux environment (I guess you either used docker or windows subsystem for Linux), then you're eminently ready to move to Linux.

    I'll be honest, I'm still screwing around trying to get a working *arr stack on my pi4b, but then I'm also looking for more stuff on there and having it deployed as a network device automatically with dimension hosting, DNS, DHCP and stuff like that with a glutun VPN securing it all... So yeah :⁠-⁠D

    I just downloaded the .deb and installed it without having to change anything.

    But don't get me started on my problems I had with that f...ing microsoft account to get onto our shared server. Somehow I am too dumb for that (same on the tablet).

    Oh my god don’t get me started, the last time I tried that, it took me over two fucking hours to get the Microsoft account to recognize that I owned Minecraft. Apparently I bought the game so long ago that it failed to unify my accounts correctly so the separate “enter your password” screen just failed to load? I had to reset my account and open an entire new outlook.com email address just to link my purchase to the account I already have.

    Fuck those losers who succeeded only in making the game worse to encourage platform lock in so they can replace Java with Bedrock.
