I had a similar problem with one of my displays going wibbly like that every time I rebooted during POST and system boot. Only going back to normal once X started.

When I checked my monitor’s display settings when it was wonky, I found that it had the refresh rate set to 14hz and really strange resolution. Turns out it was the display port cable. Replacing that fixed it right up.

Well yes, ultimately that was the problem in the end. But they had 2 good releases under EA before that happened. Somewhere along the way EA went entirely to shit and Sim City was one of many casualties.

The series shit the bed with the online only bullshit with small maps, and then Cities Skyline came along shortly thereafter to steal their lunch.

Rofi is a good alternative to dmenu as well.

All the benefits of their Visual Studio add-in, Resharper, are built-in to Rider.

And it’s faster because they don’t have to work within the restrictions placed on VS plugins.

Several years ago I had a significant hardware failure and was without a PC for longer than I care to admit. When I finally rebuilt it, Windows wouldn’t activate. So I nuked it and haven’t looked back. It’s not the first time I installed Linux. But it has been my daily driver since. Now I only use Windows for work, and Linux even there whenever I can (which isn’t often, but sometimes anyway.)

But the constant criticism of these new users posting in this community makes for a pretty unwelcoming community. If we want Linux’s market share to grow and become more relevant to the average user, and we really should, then we need to be a welcoming community that encourages new users. Not a community that is hostile to new users. The good news is that it seems the majority of users here aren’t complaining. But the complaint posts have been increasing it seems, and I’d personally like to see that stop.

Instead of complaining, if you don’t like a post downvote and move on.

Oh look, yet another fucking post complaining about new users posting about their experiences switching to Linux. This should be a welcoming community welcoming to all Linux users new and old.

Personally, I’m finding all of these complaining posts to be far more irritating.

But only allow play with those supervised as they can eat them and it can cause major problems and require emergency surgery in some cases.

Do you know what those dependencies are? They may be installable using protontricks, or manually via wine into the prefix if that doesn’t work. I have had some luck doing that for other software in the past that required dependencies that weren’t satisfied.

It’s available on Steam, so you could get it there and run it through Proton. I don’t know how well it works there like that, but if it doesn’t work you could refund it.

while I was writing this comment I came across this: LinVAM which sounds like exactly what you are looking for. But, if that doesn’t work out for you here’s what I was originally writing:

Voice Attack may fit your needs.

BUT

• it’s not Linux native.
• It’s not free.

However, my research does suggest that it works in Linux via proton/wine, and so it may serve your needs since what you’ve described is basically exactly that software’s whole purpose. It’s popular for adding voice control to games by mapping voice commands to game controls.

If i3 was a bit too involved for you but you generally like the idea of a tiling window manager you might prefer AwesomeWM.

I’m currently using KDE Plasma with i3. I like it fine. I love i3, and KDE works to tie everything together and add consistency for theming. Previously I was using i3 on XFCE, that was easier to set up. Plasma tends to require special configuration to make it play nice with i3, but once you’re over that hump it makes for a pretty decent combination.

I don’t actually use it myself as a calendar. I use org-mode for notes, todos and from time to time timing things I’m working on. But it has way more features than that right out of the box. But sadly, I can’t really offer much in the way of advice for sync or anything like that.

Emacs Org-Mode is pretty powerful, but can be a bit of challenge to learn at first.

I don’t know about OP, but I’m hooked and won’t be able to put it down for a week or two to wait for patches. Though, I haven’t played much of Act 2 yet, what I have played has been fine. I did encounter one ridiculous bug though and had to reload an earlier save.

I didn’t get any warning when I missed out on a quest in the Underdark. At least no warning that I recall receiving. It wasn’t big deal, just means that my next playthrough will be different.

Yeah, probably, I used magic missiles. She didn’t make it. lol. That said, still a bug, as she should never be able to get into the state I’ve described.
