I was right. Platforming sections are much easier on keyboard than on controller. At this point I don't know what is the purpose of a controller if any game is better on a keyboard.

I completed this area on a controller no issues... once I found the proper way to do it.

I was struggling like crazy with the platforming in the first half of the area\. Then I reached the middle point and it was literally impossible to progress, there was a jump that was too high for me to complete and progress. I kept wondering if I was missing a certain skill. After a while, I remembered my harpoon skill that I barely used. I forgot it could be used to pull you towards enemies and propel you upwards. If I had used the harpoon in the first half of the zone, it would have been a million times easier. After that, the second half was pretty easy.

But I see that you're using the harpoon skill from the get-go, so you at least passed the basic IQ check that I didn't at first.

Yeah, it was fucking rough, I progressed until a bit after the bench halfway through the mountain. It's one of those moments you have to laugh at your own stupidity.
Then I stopped and thought about it, and remembered that in the sort of forced tutorial area after you get the harpoon, the devs literally teach you to use the harpoon to pull you towards enemies. What I didn't realize was that that action also made you jump slightly higher afterwards. And at the end of the tutorial, I also struggled because I couldn't reach a ledge, and I brute forced it by pogo jumping on enemies.
I kinda feel bad for Team Cherry, they went out of their way to retard-proof the game and I failed them.

Endeavour is close to vanilla if you want a nice GUI installer. Just uncheck all the eos packages during install and I think you'll only be left with a few Endeavour boot-related configs and the repo entries, and I'm not even sure if you have to deal with dracut manually any more since that was fixed upstream to add automatic hooks. Other than that, install lsb-release and os-release. 95% less work than the normal Arch install and even archinstall.

>>541611624
>repo entries
And after you remove them and pacman -Syu, run pacman -Qqm to find any leftover packages, if there even are any. Search / for 'eos' and you might find a file or two like their now unused mirrorlist you can remove but they aren't doing any harm.

I'm pretty sure that's everything if you made sure to uncheck all eos packages during installation. Super simple and nice to do from a GUI instead of working from a CLI until you have a usable desktop.

I don't really like rogue-like games, but I bought the streamer slop of the week, Megabonk, mainly because it was cheap.
It's Unity and I'm running the native version. The only issue I had was that the controller is completely broken, which is a normal occurrence for me on the Unity Engine when playing native Linux games. I didn't plan on playing with a controller anyway, but I have to physically disconnect it when playing otherwise it will keep pressing random buttons by itself.

Anyway, even for someone like me who is not fond of rogue stuff, the game is certainly designed in a way to be very addictive.
Also, mangohud is not showing on Steam screenshots for some reason, not that it matters.

Finally switching to linux mint. Been long on W10, but finally saying goodbye to this bloated spyware shit. Anything I should know? I've got a SSD arriving soon, unfortunately I got an NVIDIA.
Do I have to download an OS separately to the other SSD and will my files save on it if I transfer and do a full reset? Not that technically literate yet. I don't want to do a full file transfer mainly because I only have music I've wanted to long put on another storage anyways so I can have more space for gaming.

>>541631753
>Do I have to download an OS separately to the other SSD and will my files save on it if I transfer and do a full reset?
I have no clue what you mean by all that.

If you want to use your new SSD, you have to install Mint to it. Easiest way it via USB stick.
Accessing your old files is possible then.

>I don't want to do a full file transfer
should not be a problem for something like a media storage. I wouldn't put my games on a ntfs drive though.

>>541632217
Worded it a bit confusingly.
Basically I'm not transferring files from w10 to mint. I only want some stuff saved on the sata SSD I bought like music which takes up a lot of space. Space I could use for gaming on my main NVMe hard drive that reads faster.

>>541632964
so you want to put mint on the nvme and have a second ssd for stuff like media? Yeah, that's fine (besides the prices for sata ssds, I got a second nvme in the end instead)

>>541633126
Yeah but if I install it like this
https://youtu.be/_D0bwTd0PHM?list=LL&t=288
Does it automatically install windows on the drive or is it just connected to the main one? Also if I put stuff in there and then do an OS transfer without file transfer, will it delete the shit I have on there?

>>541633716
I'm not gonna watch a video now but
>Does it automatically install windows on the drive
that would be damn scary. Not even windows can be that shit.
> Also if I put stuff in there and then do an OS transfer without file transfer, will it delete the shit I have on there?
What is an OS transfer? If you put files there while using windows, and then replace windows with mint the files are still there. The drive will be ntfs then though. (which should work for your use case, but I'd rather have my drives with linux native filesystems)
You can't switch filesystems without nuking the data, so you'd have to temporaily put them somewhere else

Bro, literally download rufus and the Mint ISO, then use rufus to properly format a pen drive and copy Mint onto it, then boot into that pen drive and install Mint. There are plenty of video tutorials on how to install Mint or pretty much any OS out there.
There's no such thing as "OS transfer". If you're afraid some of your data on any drive might be lost, backup it to an external drive.

>>541632217
I'm going to assume you're not very computer savvy given how you worded your question and subsequent responses/questions, and that you have a prebuilt, so let me clarify some things for you:
1. Any drive you attach, whether it be a flash drive, SSD, HDD, etc. will *not* have an OS installed onto it, nor automatically install one for you. You have to do the OS install yourself.
2. So long as you're installing the Mint on the blank drive itself, there won't be any data loss, and you can still access the other drive while in Mint. Personally speaking, I wouldn't use NTFS for gaming or storage, like >>541632217 said, but you do you.
3. Since you mentioned you want to put stuff on that SSD, I'd install Mint first, then copy your files over to the new drive to avoid any data loss. (You can make a different Windows compatible partition first, like NTFS or exFAT, transfer your files over through Windows, then set that partition to a mount point of your choosing before you go to install Mint and have your data be fine, but I prefer to have my Linux drive free of as many unnecessary partitions, if possible.)
4. Windows is only compatible with NTFS, FAT, and WinEFI partitions. It does not support ext4, btrfs, zfs, etc., but Linux is.
5. If you do plan on keeping that Windows drive intact or otherwise keep it as an NTFS drive, read this: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/wiki/Using-a-NTFS-disk-with-Linux-and-Windows
TL;DR, NTFS is not supported officially by Steam on Linux but will work, with the possibility of issues (e.g. crashing, freezing, slower load times). You have to do some system configuration in order for Steam to read/write to those drives.
6. OS transfers don't exist.

I hope this helps out some. Just get a blank 8GB flash drive, get Rufus and an ISO of Mint, and go from there. You'll have to look up how to boot from a different device on your computer.
If there's something you need clarification for, just ask.

>>541635904 (Me)
Oh, and an addendum for point 3: install the drive to your computer first, then install Mint to that drive.

On another note, the stop motion in this game is gorgeous!

Holy shit GNOME is such a fucking cancer. I have a fallout-ce executable which should be ran from the game directory and it's absolutely impossible to make a desktop entry for it.
1. GN*ME has no built in desktop entry editor so you need third party applications make one, lmao
2. I've tried libre-menu-editor and menu-libre. First one is a gtk4 and libadwaita native and it doesn't allow to set working directory for the desktop entry (I guess there's no use case). Second one is written in gtk 3 but here's another problem
3. Path to the executable is "/home/user/GOG Games/Fallout 1" and it seems GNOME can't handle whitespaces in Path key even if they're handled with quotes or /s

And since there's no icons on desktop I can't make any shortcut to the game. The only solution is to specify Exec key of desktop entry without specifying Path to some start.sh script that will resolve its own full path, change working dir and only then run the game.

What a fucking embarrassment.

I'm switching over to linux on my main PC. So far i've had things set up on four main drives in windows like:

-Main OS drive and app folders(500gb SATA3)
-Dump drive for captures and downloads (2Tb SATA3)
-Editing drive for Da Vinci projects, necessary video/audio materials and editor itself (500gb M.2)
-Vidya drive (4Tb M.2)
(-Multiple external drives for backing up/exporting finished projects)

Can someone spoonfeed me to a good read or video on how filesystem in general works in linux? I heard everything installs into a /home folder, but can i have multiple drives for specific use cases like i've had for now? Can i have multiple /home folders or spread subfolders from it to separate drives?

>>541653270
>1. GN*ME has no built in desktop entry editor so you need third party applications make one, lmao
Or just a text editor. The desktop entry is a fairly simple plaintext format.
>3. Path to the executable is "/home/user/GOG Games/Fallout 1" and it seems GNOME can't handle whitespaces in Path key even if they're handled with quotes or /s
Sad if true. But, if I remember correctly, spaces in the Path field should not be quoted or escaped. Given that the value is expected to be the location of a single folder, spaces are just interpreted as part of the path in this context, and no quoting or escaping is necessary. So if your first attempt at entering the Path value had quotes or backslashes, don't do that. Just enter the path as returned by `pwd`, and NOT as you would pass it to `cd`. Only the Exec field needs literal spaces quoted or escaped in order to disambiguate literal spaces in file paths from those between arguments.

>>541631753
>>541662729
Is the great migration finally upon us?

>>541662729
Btrfs can probably do that?

>>541631753
>I've got a SSD arriving soon,
Then you should probably install Linux on that. And before doing so, you should just unplug all the drives you don't want to erase, so that you have no chance of accidentally telling the Mint installer to erase them. Plug them back in after Mint is installed.
Wherever you install Linux, it will format the selected drive (or the selected partition of that drive) which means erasing everything on it.
Just want to make that clear in case it wasn't obvious already.

>>541663141
Plain path with spaces doesn't work as well, it's the first thing I've tried after moving to quotes and escapes sequences

>>541665374
It's hard to believe GNOME is so ass, but I don't use GNOME. I use Cinnamon, where I'm pretty sure spaces in Path are not a problem.
The GNOME help page for desktop entries doesn't even mention the Path key
>https://help.gnome.org/admin//system-admin-guide/2.32/menustructure-desktopentry.html.en
which is pretty weird; the Path key is optional but so are several of the other keys shown there.

>>541662729
The correct way would be to back everything up and format every drive to ext4, btrfs or the file system you choose, the easy way is backing up what you want to keep from the main OS drive, format it and install the distro there, then you mount the other drives to whatever folder you want, e.g.
>dump drive > ~/data/downloads
>editing drive > ~/data/videos
>vidya drive > ~/data/games
The problem with not formatting the other drives is they'll probably use ntfs and that could lead to issues down the line, I've done it for a couple of years and it's not a big deal but it's not recommended

Well, actually I might been wrong. It seems that GNOME caches desktop entries somewhere instead of running them from disk and when I change it the changes doesn't immediately apply. It took some time but path with whitespaces is actually works.

>>541674000
>caches desktop entries somewhere instead of running them from disk
How annoying.
Maybe Cinnamon does the same thing though. I've noticed icon changes aren't always immediately visible in the menu. Then again, that could be an icon-caching thing specifically.

>>541673239
Usually the bulk of these folders go into system partition, /home is the one that should be separate. Reason is different distros use different mutually incompatible software repositories, your distro provides the foundation, and maintainers build FOSS programs targeting this foundation.
Then the /home/username folder holds config files for installed non-system software, so normally you want to avoid re-using the same user name/folder across many distros. Different usernames on the same partition housing /home is fine.

It's possible to use multiple distros on different partitions but it's preferable to just try them out on a VM or using something like Ventoy. When I have to reinstall or switch I always nuke the whole drive, some people use a separate /home partition to avoid this but I've read it can lead to problems with conflicting config files.
