    Hmm, bazzite is being “advertised” as being specifically for gaming and newcomers. With included drivers and “tweaks” to improve gaming. And the reviews I found said the same thing…

    I was able to get it working by installing it in my home directory.

    I actaully installed it.

    AFAIK You can’t “run” battlenet though lutris, it needs installed for mods at least.

    The “data” partition turned to actually be a windows partition, there isn’t any indication that isn’t paart of Linux that I could.

    I was able to create a “games” folder under my user’s “home” folder and install battlenet (and Wow) there, So I hoping I can then copy my mods over.

    To be continued…

    thanks for your help

    Would you pay $1000 for one? Economy of scales matters…

    Plus everyone who did look at them would say it is smaller it should cost less! Even though a smaller phone would be more technically challenging to build. Next you have compromises. No matter what you take out to make it work. People would bitch, I need that! I don’t need this other thing! Next battery life, people complain about current battery life, you think they want less?

    I could go on, but I can easily see why manufacturers don’t want to deal…



  • In that case, just set up a router level VPN. The university probably doesn’t give a shit. Which is why the help desk IT kid said it’s fine, probably.

    It’s the 3rd party ISP just being greedy. The ISP may not even care as long as you’re not running an insane amount of traffic through it. Often this type of stuff is added to TOSs to allow them the option, if you’re being a bad actor.
