  • As others have mentioned, keeping around a USB SSD with a windows install can be useful, I have a cheapo 10Gbps NVME eclosure, that is more than fast enough to host a snappy windows install. I have so far used it to run the shitty windows-only reddragon software to rebind buttons on my mouse, and to run stellaris (when they had a platform-dependant OOS but that has since been fixed)

    A note about dual-booting, I learned a lot about EFI setting that up ages ago, and while I no longer dual-boot, the knowledge has been useful to me on many occasions, even for recovering cooked windows installs. I imagine it is more stream-lined these days, but then again it seems to have fallen out of fashion, so maybe not. YMMV






  • I have had a lot of luck forcing broken apps to use ZINK (Yes, you can do this on the nvidia propriety driver! Yes, it will use the proprietary vulkan driver as a backend.)

    I have a 3060 12GB and have yet to run into something broken that I couldn’t get to work, although it is annoying that NVIDIA still can’t be fucked to have a driver that doesn’t reek.
