Still making progress with my quest to slay #windows10 on my #gpdwinmax and fully switch to #bazzite. It seems I've hit a bit of a snag with one PC game, #evildeadregeneration. The furthest I can get is trying it through #lutris and loading a new game. It just hangs on that screen.

Anyone have any ideas for settings that could help or point me to a guide on getting it to work? I know there is a PS2 version I can just run using PCSX2, which would certainly be much easier; just wondering if anyone knows if it's even possible to run the PC version outside the #windows eco system? #retrogaming #retropcgaming #pcgaming #linux

Little time left to figure out what to do about #windows10eol on some of my laptops. I have a ASUS laptop from 2015 that I upgraded the HDD to an SSD drive and from 4GB of RAM to 16, so it still runs well.

It's my last working Windows system with a DVD/RW drive in it. I'm looking to get back into ripping DVDs to put on my #plex server (which will need a storage upgrade, since it sits in an old Gateway All-In-One that used to host Windows 8, now the latest version of Ubuntu but still has the original 500GB HDD, not nearly enough storage for a media server these days, lol), but I'm not too familiar with Linux software that would play nice with those plans.

I may consider a dual-boot while keeping the Windows side air-gapped. No, I'm not paying Microsoft to keep security updates (or using MS points; how do you even get those? Nevermind, I don't care.) Of course, it's not able to run Windows 11, I don't want that anyways. I'm looking to get away from Windows as much as possible (if only I could avoid it at work as well...).

Then, there is my #gpdwinmax 2021. I've mostly moved on to my ASUS ROG ALLY for my handheld PC gaming needs, but the Win Max is still good for anything that's more keyboard heavy. Not sure if #steamos would be a good option (or possible on this hardware), since I like running a lot of old PC games (80's-90's). I know Linux gaming has certainly improved by leaps and bounds within recent years, but it seems like it's still behind when it comes to #retropcgaming, so I'm a bit wary on fully converting to Linux. Maybe I should just keep it as Windows 10 but air gapped? Or maybe a dual boot is a good idea to at least try on this one too?

Typing out these thoughts is making me think the dual boot idea might be best; I can always canibalize the Windows partition down the line if I can truly break free.

Seems like a quick search makes it look like installing anything other than Windows on the GPD Win Max is a bit iffy. Maybe just an air gapped machine for that one then?

The "Steam Deck" Dell Inspiron has been upgraded! Performance was better than expected, check out the video!

I have a problem with my Windows98 gaming pc. The sound seems totaly disabled, no matter what I do. I have one on board sound card and a soundblatser ct4750 pci card in the machine. The sound is enabled in the bios and drivers are installed and shows up as ok. However I can not play any kind of sound. Does anyone recognize this behaviour?

🔴 THIS CAT IS LIVE!

BOY HOWDY, do old PC games not like running on modern PCs! Nonetheless, we're gonna check out 5 (hopefully!) blasts from the past today and see how long we can nudge them along before my computer BSODs! Will they be new to you, or a distant unlocked memory of a childhood favorite?

Only one way to find out! Come hang! :3
