Why would anyone not like that? I’m not sure what you’re talking about.

There are three lights.

Yeah, it says it couldn’t load an API-related windows file/group of files. So yes, either something is missing, or something isn’t in the expected location.

If it can’t load a file, and if that file does exist, something path-related needs to be fixed.

Other folks have responded with good advice about things to try, so I won’t repeat any of it here. Hopefully once you get that fixed, your games will launch!

Are you logging your attempted game launches?

I wonder if the games are trying to search for files in a specific path, failing to find that path, and exiting. Or maybe something similar. The logs should tell you.

What are you using to create the bootable installer? Rufus may have options to help with this.

Also, MX includes a bunch of system rescue tools. If grub-install doesn’t work by itself, maybe chroot would help?

The MX community forums might be a good place to ask, too. Lots of power users there.

Try MX Linux. It runs on a toaster, and I’ve never found a machine it wouldn’t install on.

I’m not sure how to reply to this.

Mainly because my own math skill is unrelated to processor technology of the late 1990s.

Hey now, I’m enjoying his nonsense. It’s fun to see what holes people dig themselves into.

You must be real fun at parties.

3D graphics were incredibly primitive back then. There really weren’t “3D processors” as we know them today.

On top of that, CRTs masked many of the weirdest graphical artifacts - the shimmering we see on modern screens was much more of a blur on screens at the time.

It’s fun to look back at the PlayStation and the N64, and to see how each of them handled limitations in a different way.

“adopting it” and “getting saddled with it” are two different things.

I’m about as anti-AI as you can get, but that wasn’t a confirmation - it was a non-answer.

And considering how many things “AI” is getting crammed into, if they’d given a definitive answer, it wouldn’t have been possible to guarantee it - because they’re not in control of every business scenario in the industry.

You can do that at the same time as beating yourself with the purple dildo

Yeah, if the resolution is the only issue? Keep three screens, you’ll enjoy the wrap-around. Especially for racing, a single screen will leave you wanting.

Not to say you definitely won’t like a single screen. But you know why you like what you like.

The main question: what about your current setup are you dissatisfied with?

If you can share that, it’ll help with which option might be better now.

That opinion is a weird hill to die on.

Yeah, a lot comes down to how comfortable the user is messing with things.

KDE starts off looking simple, then start to feel super complicated, and then goes back to seeming very straightforward - all depending on a user.

Your perspective is valid, though a lot of window manager/DE preference is completely subjective. So everyone’s going to have a different experience.

Same, and same.

That all seems pretty typical of volunteer organizations.

As with most single-party testimony provided after the fact, we can assume:

• 25% is fact
• 25% is fiction
• 25% is unverifiable regardless
• 25% is just plain made up

And none of it is necessarily malicious. Humans are just flawed creatures, and social relationships can often degrade over time.
