The game is what others said and as for what it is it's pretty unique series and good game. But as you said - you can't see it's appeal right away, maybe you are like me and this game will be just boring for you. I tried to play it on PC for more than ten or even twenty hours, with friends and alone. Just doesn't click.
That, it's a grown up person's dream of a place to be. At least for lots of folks out there and me)
And overall it's a good game to play slowly for months.
I'm playing two games at the moment:
Yet another run in Nier: Automata, second playthrough, first time on steam deck. It runs surprisingly well.
Stardew valley. For steam deck it's a killer game - 8-9 hours on a battery, perfect for resting.
I also have Snowrunner and Vampire Survivors as my go to games.
Just finished Dungeons of Dreadlock. I do not like puzzle games in most cases (not my genre), but enjoyed this one.
Quite a nice game to spend 5 hours with. Cost peanuts. Was perfect on steam deck.

For anyone who did not think about it beforehand and struggled as me. You can run KDE Connect on your machine and send keyboard and mouse inputs using kde connect. Almost 0 input lag. So you can do all you need.
For me it was terminal and some work with files on dolphin (for emudeck). I'm not used to steam deck touch pads yet and using shortcuts on keyboard made everything a breeze.
You can transfer files, too, of course.
Very good review actually,was looking for something like that souole of hours ago and couldn't find.

I was very surprised when discovered that band as late as in 2021. Not only it sounds great, quality of recording and mastering in this one is awesome (I do recommend listening to it in better quality than youtube offers).
I was like - WTF, it sounds like sound lift of some heavy/glam metal bands from late 80s, and it turned out to be band from that time. ^^
Though I do like some albums from back then, sometimes I wish they sounded more polished, more complex when it comes to recording. It's a matter of taste of course.
Nice write up. Hope we both will be fine with our installations =)
Regarding "new user" - that's true, e.g. average person has much steeper learning curve than software dev, DIY enthusiast playing with Arduino or gamer who has his own server for favorite game in the cloud and etc. They might be all "new" to Linux as desktop OS, but not on the same start line.
Though looking at EndeavourOS and recalling my experience with Mint and Ubuntu, it might be possible to have windows like (when it comes to easy to use) installation\configuration and experience out of the box.
There are quite some comments and to clarify all misunderstanding regarding Arch vs something else or any other debates in this thread, I would like to add this comment.
I do not recommend Arch based distro over Debian based or anything else. Topic is about using Linux at its current state, I assume that most of distros will be more or less similar when it comes to statements of the post. In my case it was Archlinux distro, because I had prior experience and it's philosophy is appealing to me. Like rolling release, configure yourself, install only necessary for you things and etc.
I do not recommend to use Arch itself for a new user. I hope from the post it was clear, that new user should not care much about mentioned topics, like Pipewire vs Pulseaudio or Wayland VS X. One can use more high order distros or even different base, like Linux Mint. Which I also used long time ago and was quite happy about.
I do not say that KDE is better or worse than Gnome or whatever. For me it's just a preference, like possibility to have more control over UI and looks and to avoid some blockers, like DRM on Wayland. You can have them all on your machine, beauty of Linux.
And please do your own research on the topic and do take everything with grain of salt. There are a lots of great distros, desktop environments and other things. And there are tons of good and bad advices, navigating through which sometimes is not so easy.
And I would like to underline that there are not so many up to date objectivly better things when it comes to software, pick what you need and like.
No, I just said it's not appealing to me today as it did before, when I used it, Yara ago. I'm not implying anythings here, personal taste. I chose plasma.
I have Nvidia and 1 monitor, so did not run into mentioned issues. Wayland on KDE did not work well for me, also https://community.kde.org/Plasma/Wayland_Showstoppers have some blockers for me. Gnome on Wayland as far as I understood does not work with DRM, so no chance to run VR. Also though I used Gnome before it does not appeal to me today. Plasma on the other hand was exactly what I was looking for, plus it's actively maintained and updated. Looking forward to see Plasma 6.
When it comes to VR - I was very surprised, it was something I did not expect to work at all. My setup for reference: I have Nvidia proprietary drivers, SteamVR Beta and Valve Index. I had problems with sound (cracking, quality and etc), but using sof-firmware helped to choose proper output channel on Nvidia GPU via Pro profile and it just started working.
It wasn't my first try, I used arch before. And I would not recommend it to anyone without prior experience or at least software engineering related background.
I did, it looks nice, it's just that Bitwig feels more at home for me.
I am using default wine package, which should be development.
Two monitors do work (second display is my tv), I tried it couple of times - just worked,but maybe I need to retest.
Currently I have stationary pc. But ten years ago closing lid worked for me on laptop. I think arch wiki has good guidance about this topic. It was not a plug and play experience for sure.
I saw that people had success with ALVR. But I can't say anything from experience.
Looks like there is a markdown parsing issue on the client you are using. At least from what I can see.
I'm coming from Ableton Live, which I've used for a very long time and got used to, Bitwig turned out to be similar (I think I've seen that company was created with people from Ableton), so it works for me. But it's better to try everything first of course.
For me Arch was a way to go, because as I used it before - ~10 years ago. And it's philosophy is appealing to me.
Which app are you on? I've used standard markdown list markup, like:
- One
- Two
- Three
I did, though I do not have a use case for that. It looks like a great solution if you have a scenario.
Finally migrated from Windows to Linux. For anyone wondering, what is the state of Linux as your primary OS for home PC\laptop in 2023.
I've finalised my Archlinux installation yesterday, I dropped of Linux more than 10 years ago and experience in 2023 in comparison is awesome and beyond even wildest dreams back then:
- For average user looking for more out of the box experience I would suggest something Arch based (people in comments suggest EndeavourOS, please do your research). Archlinux installation took me quite some time
- Almost everything works out of the box, by just installing corresponding package
- KDE Plasma environment is fast and beautiful
- Pipewire audio server (Jack\Pulseaudio replacement) works great
- Wayland window server is not there yet, especially if you have Nvidia with proprietary drivers and want to use VR. Waking up, session restoration and other scenarios have issues. Use X11.
- Wine is great!
- Music making - Bitwig Studio DAW has linux native version, yabridge allow you to use windows VSTs, which are easily installed via wine
- Gaming works out of the box with Steam for majority of titles, some games have native linux version. Performance is great. In worst case windows game might loose 5-15% in performance. Was not case for my titles
- Gaming outside steam is fine too. Use Wine, Lutris, Proton
- VR is a mixed bag. Not everything is there (Desktop view, sound control and mirroring, camera, motions smooth, lighthouses do not wake up os go to sleep. I use my phone to turn them on/off). But if its not the problem for you, quite some titles work. Tried: native HF Alyx, Lab, windows: Beat Saber and Boneworks. For me it's a surprise, I did not count on it. Performance is great.
So overall my experience is great. Eventually I'm going to get rid of WIndows on other computers and laptops at howe. I can finally wave goodbye to Windows, with lots of ads and bloatware. Alway glad to help with answers regarding installation while my memory and history logs are fresh. ^^

Never heard of these guys before, they do rock! Besides great intro part - both music and clean vocal sound great, clip is also actually nice. And here are lyrics, which turned out to be great, meaningful and resonating in my case:
--- If you, Holy Angels, do exist in this universe, Will you bless me on the cheeks? With my painful effort never paid off. I've just been standing in the shadow, Will the day come someday when I can fly high in the sky? Will the day come when I can see the sun? Tell me, Holy Angels.
Shabadabadia Shabadabadia Babababa
Shabadabadia Shabadabadia Babababa
If you, Divine Goddess, are staying hidden somewhere, Why don't you smile at me on my forehead? I've never tasted the nectar of victory. I’ve never succeeded in love. Will the day come when I can get intoxicated by the victory? Will the day come when I can embrace love? Tell me, Divine Goddess.
Shabadabadia Shabadabadia Babababa
Shabadabadia Shabadabadia Babababa
Countless stars are twinkling in the sky. Every one of us is under them, with a thousand wishes in each heart.
Lululu Lululu…
If you, Lord Buddha, really exist in some place, Please have mercy on me, too. Having nothing precious in my possession, Desolated, Isolated, I've been living my life with a series of failures. Will the day come when I can totally be satisfied? Will the day come when my dreams come true? Tell me, Lord Buddha.

Shine a light on my life Shine a light on my future Shine a light on every creature Shine a light on tomorrow for all
---- Still not on Tidal =(
I'm neither a fan of such music, nor a League of Legends player. But this song - I love it. Both rhythm/voices and how they used characters from the game.
Great collaboration of two industries.
For as long as I listen to this song, I still get goose bumps on "Niiightfaaaaall" part. One of their greatest song IMHO from insanely cool album Nightfall in Middle Earth.
It's hard to tell if remastered version sounds better than original. I prefer remastered.
Also there is something strange with lossy codecs when it comes to this particular song, it looses a lot more than other songs if you listen it not in lossless.

I did not get to know placebo back when I was a teen. I missed so many wonderful songs back then.
Not only this particular song is great, it's very actual today.
It's the disease of the age It's the disease that we crave Alone at the end of the ride We catch the last bus home Corporate America wakes Coffee republic and cakes We open the latch on the gate Of the hole that we call a home
Protect me from what I want Protect me from what I want Protect me from what I want Protect me, protect me
