Nice work! I hope you are able to get used to it, and that you enjoy it!

[EdgyRabbid]

Thanks! Im setting it up rn! One of the reasons i chose this is cuz its simple and has lots of customization options!

[Steo]

Yeah Linux environments tend to be very customisable and there are a lot of options as to which one you prefer too. KDE Plasma is one of the more customisable ones, albeit it's not as lightweight as certain ones either. I use KDE Plasma myself.

Alright!

Anyways, trying to get RCP to work but I can’t seem to download winetricks..

Try to follow this if you haven't already looked there: https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=361814

It's been some time and RCP is currently using older .NET Framework, so it might be hit and miss, but it should still work. RayCarrot does have the intent to update RCP to use modern dotnet and I am trying to help out with it (extremely early stages just trying to get basics started), but it will be a long time before that will see the light of day. When that eventually does surface, it should have a native Linux version.

[EdgyRabbid]

Alright! Thanks! Please LMK when it is released!

Now I gotta figure out how to get that launcher that runs my gog games to work..

[Steo]

Oh yeah no problem, it will be likely months before that happens, but it will be nice. I daily drive Linux too, so it would be pretty cool to have.

You have a few options with that also, many people use Lutris when it comes to trying to launch different things that are from Windows. I don't really use it that often personally, but it might help simplify things a little. It might take a bit of jumping through hoops to get used to it and make these things work with Wine, but once you get used to it, you start to really enjoy using the OS. I did at least.

Good morning! I have my job help thing today!

[Greengoop]

Woah, you can’t just drop a j-word without censoring it like that!

Anyway, I was wondering how you guys pronounce the < symbol when reading you game posts in your head? I always go umph personally.

[EdgyRabbid]

Its scilent in my head lolz

[Greengoop]

So you’d read “<‘s impressed by ^’s linguistic capabilities!” Like “impressed by linguistic capabilities”?

[EdgyRabbid]

YES.

Also im hungry...

[Greengoop]

Hmmm, what are you thinking of having?

[EdgyRabbid]

idk. Plus im just waiting for my j*b thing!

[Greengoop]

Did you tell what the job was and I’m just forgetting?

I just tend to substitute it for the member’s name myself.

[Greengoop]

So… “Greengoop’s impressed by Rsandee’s linguistic capabilities!”
