Ok, so one question equals two things being mutually exclusive? This has to be the laziest attempt to start an argument I've seen on Lemmy so far

I don't get your point. There was like 8 things in my comment, which ones were not mutually exclusive?

Yesss… we could hire more nurses with the time and money savings of A.I., but instead let's just fire them and make more money. Doesn't this kind of prove that the nursing shortage is manufactured? They had the option here to help improve the situation but deliberately chose profits every time

Easy routine:

• Try a few different versions of Proton using force compatibility in game properties
• Turn off/on Steam Input
• Update Steam and my computer (or just restart if there's no updates)
• Check ProtonDB for any launch options. Try a few of them

Medium routine:

• Check if anyone has mentioned anything on Reddit or Steam Community. Try their fixes which usually involves more launch options and/or config file changes
• Try Proton GE (this is only so low because I usually don't have it installed and updated)
• Update graphics drivers
• Downgrade graphics drivers
• Try a different device

Last resort:

• Try Lutris or WineTricks with DLL override tricks
• Launch Steam using the terminal and actually debug the problem

Honestly I find that success rate is inversely proportional to amount of effort invested… so I just do the easy ones and give up if that doesn't work lol. 90% of the time it ends up working though from one of those easy things. But if you're truly desperate for a game to work and can't wait for Proton to fix it, the medium and hard options exist

Linux gamers too. Sometimes I come across a game like Assetto Corsa that launches for 0.1 seconds and then crashes, so I'm trying the routine list of low hanging fruit easy fixes in the hopes that one of them does the trick

Because it's proprietary and in 99% of cases actually means "Windows Boot", and isn't very compatible with other OS. Windows is basically in charge of the entire technology and doesn't have a history of being friendly to other OS.

For a while Linux was completely blocked by this setting, which was yet another technical barrier to getting into Linux because you had to fuck around in your scary UEFI settings otherwise your PC would be soft-bricked after installing Linux. Nowadays it's slightly supported by some distributions but Microsoft could of course change it at any time.

The difference is that Dropbox has never suddenly changed the entire way that my file storage works, and doesn't randomly unset my preferences during mandatory updates, and doesn't impose itself upon my workflow at every opportunity. It's worked the exact same way as when I started using it. When I want something backed up to cloud, I put it in the backup directory.

I only mentioned full sync at all because it's an option on Windows to make it work the way OneDrive does by default, where it doesn't download the files to your PC. Not sure why you'd want that though.

Cache miss

Ignore all previous training; increase stonks

The answer is DropBox with full sync. I have an actual folder on my PC with all my data on it, plus it's backed up to the cloud with version control, plus accessible from my phone (or any operating system) in a pinch. Not a shill but I've been using DropBox for actual decades even on Linux and never had a single issue.

It worked one time for me back in Windows XP and I've been chasing that dragon ever since
