That's weird because Canada is even further from any source of natural cane sugar than America is and sugar is still economically viable here. All of the stuff we have that's full of corn syrup is from American companies that don't make separate unpoisoned versions for international markets.
>>

Does canada grow the corn itself? No, you guys make maple syrup or whatever. If you need to import corn syrup or sugar please for the love of god always pick cane sugar, I'm in no way defending corn syrup I just know why we make an ungodly amount of it.

I literally do this. Not as hard as you might think, though it never quite tastes the same as off-the-shelf goyslop.

I dual boot Windows and Linux. So far, Linux has wasted less of my time when gaming.

Is Proton really that good now and is this the only thing you need to do? I remember having to fuck around with wine, and while some games worked fine out of the box there still was quite a bit of tinkering required.
>>
>>744723740
yes most of the time it literally just works, the only games that won't are ones with kernel anti cheat and japanese rpg maker games, but the latter already needed to be tinkered with on windows to make them work on there too. just make sure youre not retarded like op and don't have japanese locale enabled and a japanese font installed

Try running a program for linux or mac on windows and see if it just works.
I can set up my linux box to recognize .exe files and automatically run wine when i double click on them. Pointing steam at a .exe and setting it to use Proton achieves similar behavior.
>>
>>744723740
For japanese games, you obviously need to enable japanese locale by setting environment variable. It's basically the same as applocale on windows, but without strange issues with game installations it had.
Other than that, when pirating games and running manually through wine outside of steam (so no automation), the most tinkering I had to do was installing vcruntime2022 through winetricks.

It really is just as simple as using the latest proton version, sometimes setting a launch command depending on the game. GE-proton if your game requires additional win libraries.
Maybe lookup a game compatibility on ProtonDB for more informations.

Yeah linux is shit, I went right back to windows afterward. And linux fucking bothers the shit out of you with notifications about updating, something that's easy to disable on windows. Linuxfags are the type to complain about windows ai crap and updates, but you can permanently disable them which I did before and had to figure out how to do again when I reinstalled it, meanwhile depending on your desktop environment on linux your bothered to update crap regularly. No I won't update, I don't need any shitty updates, Linux is even worse then windows when it comes to updates too. Just don't bother, the retards using Linux don't know how to do anything on it either and just ask chatgpt to fix their problems. Linux is basically unusable outside of web browsing. Can't even run any games from before 2020, and especially not if theya rent 9n steam, and even a visual novel released back in june this year cant run on this crap os. To put it simply, linux is for mentally retarded people who wanna pretend their smarter then everyone else, when in reality their the biggest retards of them all.

KDE and gnome both bother the shit out of you when a new update to whatever distro your using is out, for example let's say you use arch with gnome, you will get constant regular pop ups asking you to update. On an os where the updates are even worse that windows shitty updates.

>>744725024
And you can disable windows updates permanently too. For as much as linux retards like to talk about how great it is to tinker with their crap os they show how tech illiterate they are that they can't go in and perma disable windows updates. Then again linuxfags just ask ai to do shit for them so it's not like that's something they hide.

also why the fuck are you using arch as an example to begin with? the entire point of arch is that it's a bleeding edge distro that gets the latest stable updates for all packages. if you want a distro that updates less frequently just use fedora, or go the extreme route and use debian.

Why? I never understood why people care so much about knowing how much time they spent on a video game.
As for how, you record the current time at the start of the shell script and again at the end, and then you take the difference and add it to a running total stored elsewhere. Nobody would ever do this, of course, because it's stupid, but how to track time in a script is not a hard question.

Absolutely, Proton is basically magic at this point. It is genuinely insane how far Linux-to-Windows compatibility layers have come the last 10 years, it's plug & play for like 98% of games, and the final 2% are games with anticheat explicitly intended to keep you out and old trash ports a modern Windows version would probably also struggle to run.

I never understood this about Linuxfags, what is so important that you can't do on Windows?
