  • I have at least successfully started it and played two matches unranked. I run it through Lutris (Start Ubisoft connect from Lutris) and the start xdefiant through Ubisoft connect.

    I followed some Indian guys tutorial on YouTube. It crashed two times and trying to start it a third time, Lutris gave an error sth was missing (don’t remember what exactly) and offered to install it. After that it worked but probably more coincidence than knowing what I did. The tutorial added two game execution properties and installed some windows dll through winetricks.







  • That’s the tool yes. I’ve followed a guide that should have also included optimization. One of the problems I encountered: it doesn’t recognize the monitors properly which makes it a pain e.g. opening an email in a new window. Also lots of flickering and "wrong"colors (Outlook icon is turquoise for example). Nonetheless I would need a “full” Windows environment for the training sessions anyways (don’t want to confuse the attendees more than necessary by showing them an unfamiliar OS)







  • I’d say: do recommend those windows like distro. Most people don’t really care about their OS. In their eyes the best OS US one they don’t have to think about/spend energy on. Hence the appeal of OS X for example. I think probably 80% of all users haven’t even fully understood what Windows is nor do they care in the slightest. They want to be able to browse the web, maybe game some, and maybe watch streams. They’d gladly attach their phone to a screen if it was easier than working on a different device. Whoever is really interested in learning things about their OS or distro of choice will do so in their own time and switch to something different if the need arises and not to become part of some cult like defenders of their holy distro (which it often feels like as soon as someone asks for recommendations). I have only recently switched to Linux Mint and am totally happy with it. I don’t feel like I absolutely have to try Arch for example. I got everything I need for now up and running and I have neither the time nor the need to learn anything else at the moment. Elitist posts like OPs are probably more effective in keeping people from trying Linux (that and the mass of names flying around for different parts, as well as the lack of beginner friendly documentation - although that has changed a lot since the last time I tested Linux a few years back)
