I just started playing on Turtle WoW a few days ago and never had as much fun in WoW before. Just amazing classic+ experience and a really nice community. Also free, is pretty nice.

dingleberrylover,

Turtle WoW is just amazing. This is how you release new content without power creep or losing meaning from the existing content. I never enjoyed WoW more than with Turtle.

shplane,

I’ve been loving Turtle Wow too but can’t figure out how they haven’t been sued by Activision/blizzard?

Epzillon,

They just were, you can read up on it but from what i understand they actually didn’t want to destroy the data this time but instead have it handed over.

The System76 Pangolin has an AMD APU that's pretty powerful. I have the Ryzen7 model, but the newer ones are Ryzen9. Comes pre-installed with Pop_OS!, but they also provide firmware packages for Arch, Ubuntu, Fedora, and NixOS. I've also tested Nobara and Bazzite on it with good results.

I can play pretty much any game, as long as it runs in Proton normally, with very little FPS issues. Only games that chug are poorly optimized to begin with, but usually dropping the res to 1600x900 with FSR on will fix most issues.

Also, "most economical" is tough these days with the tariffs and all. I got my Pangolin for $1000 shipped, then a few months later the tariffs hit and the price rose to $1500 before shipping.

Thank you I will check it now

By most economical I actually meant value-for-money option (original retail price) I have edited my post.

I just saw your other comment where you mention wanting to play CyberPunk 2077. FWIW, it runs great on my Ryzen7 model almost highest settings, so I'm sure it won't have any issues on the Ryzen9.

Good luck with the hunt!

Does it support dual-booting Windows and Pop!_OS? I might still need Windows for a few games. How hard is it to install Windows and steam and run games properly on this laptop? Is it basically just using Rufus and clicking through the install? thank you very much!

phaedrus,
@phaedrus@piefed.world avatar

I'll never touch Windows again, and stopped using it over a decade ago. I unfortunately don't have any experience related to this laptop, but when it comes to dual-booting other OS's it's no different than any other machine. I can't imagine it would have issues with Windows, and System76 has some info on installing Windows

I don't have to do anything special to run games, though. I pirate a lot, and play legit Steam games as well. Only issues I run into are related to anti-cheat, but that's nothing new for Linux gaming. Once you're in Windows, it likely won't be any different than using Windows on another machine.

happeningtofry99158,

thanks a lot!

I might still need Windows for a few games.

You probably don’t, unless it’s for multiplayer anti-cheat. I don’t think I’ve had any significant issues with Linux gaming in 6+months. Basically everything just works now, Cyberpunk very much included.

Not a guarantee of course, but in my experience it’s pretty awesome and I don’t miss Windows at all. Dual-booting for a year was silly and overly paranoid, in actuality I ignored the Windows partition almost entirely.

etchinghillside, do games w Gaming Laptop with Linux Preinstalled and 32GB+ RAM?

Linux preinstalled is going to remove a lot of candidates. If you relax your requirements to include known setups/components that work well with Linux then that would help expand your options. The amount that Microsoft gets from the preinstalled license is likely negligible.

happeningtofry99158,

The only reason I’m asking linux is I don’t want my money taken by microsoft. I believe most laptop like dell would work with linux well enough. If I’m good with windows preinstalled, which laptop would have the highest ratio of quality / price?

etchinghillside,

Do your research because it varies by year and components. But if I was going for new I’d be looking at Asus TUF or Strix at the 1.4k price point.

artyom,

I was going to suggest Framework. You can buy them without any OS at all. But it’s going to be easily >$2k with a GPU.

Holytimes,

Your option is basically only framework if you want good hardware.

If you don’t mind low end stuff then you have plenty of options.

happeningtofry99158,

Framework laptops are really cool, but the modular design seems to make them more vulnerable.

GottaHaveFaith, do games w Gaming Laptop with Linux Preinstalled and 32GB+ RAM?

Lenovo Legion. If you pick a configurable one and remove windows they'll lower the price accordingly (sometimes 100€ for windows pro). Some models offer Linux pre-installed.

happeningtofry99158,

I will look into that!

Framework 16?

Definitely something to consider in terms of longevity. User replacable RAM, storage, and battery.

And they’ve now successfully done the first mainboard and gpu refresh.

Linux would not be pre-installed, but it can be purchased without windows.

happeningtofry99158,

Framework 16?

I’m choosing now between Framework laptop and System76 laptop. Both seems great, but System76 laptop seems to have a better quality judging by the looks of it?

Holytimes,

System76 laptops are in my experience worse than frameworks.

But they are also less effort. So pick your poison.

Mist101, (edited )

I went with a Framework 16 and upped it to 48gb ram with the graphics extension. That thing is a powerhouse. I didn’t get it for gaming, but for design work. Still, it can play anything out now on the highest settings and is fully modular so I’m planning to be buried with this thing.

ETA: I also went the Linux route and don’t have any regrets.

Even that amount of interaction can be exhausting/taxing after a while. Hell, even passively observing hateful remarks, even if you never respond to them (which, generally, you shouldn’t. Don’t feed the trolls) is emotionally exhausting. My recommendation is to just curate your community. Make a private space wherever you want, invite your friends and the most positive fans (people who you would like to be friends with perhaps) and that’s it, close the door. YOU decide who gets to come into your house and speak to you.

Is that still the only modern day gameplay segment of the entire franchise?

Kind of wild that they never revisited the idea.

@MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world avatar

As far as I know. There’s the modern day bit in Black Flag/Rogue, but as much as I liked those I can’t really say they’re Gameplay Segments. More so walking Sims with a few collectibles.

I briefly remember getting to climb around in the modern day in AC Origins but it was really brief

Oh yeah, the modern era in Black Flag era was pretty meh. Haven’t played any AC game after that so no idea about those.

I really like Black Flags, but I totally get why people don’t get it. After that it took a back seat (became relegated to cutscenes for Unity-Syndicate)

Emperor, do games w Gaming Laptop with Linux Preinstalled and 32GB+ RAM?

Tuxedo Computers ship Linux 😀

I’d recommend something AMD if you want fast and stable graphics drivers.

Holytimes,

As long as it’s a 3xxx or 4xxx Nvidia card honestly its just as good as Nvidia now as long as you arnt being dumb and trying to use Debian or mint or something that has a massively out of date kernel on a new laptop.

orochi02,

So is mint Bad for newer machines?

Emperor,

I had a 3060 and the support for wayland was just terrible.

Loads of games didn’t work on proton or ran terribly.

Moment I switch to AMD on Linux I have not had any crashes, and games run out of the box with good performance.

Just my experience, there is no real reason why most people need nvidia GPUs on Linux. The vram is small, and prices often don’t compete well with AMD.

CUDA and other media stuff is usually a strawman as most people literally never it. If you need that desktop with SSH is much better value for money.

Katana314,

Hm. I’ve got an Nvidia card on Cachyos, and it’s all been fine so far.

I had an issue where an upgrade broke my drivers, but that turned out to be my fault from poor understanding.

j_z,

I run a tuxedo both at home and for work. Build quality and support isn’t that great but you can’t get more specs for the money

Chants of Sennaar was great! Had an absolute blast trying to work my way through it. I probably sounded like I was playing Baba Is You when trying to wrap my head around the glyphs (?) and the messages they try to convey.

Figuring out the symbols, their meaning and then using them properly to translate between different people was surprisingly rewarding and fun. I wouldn’t have minded if the game had a bit more gameplay, but at least it didn’t overstay it’s welcome.

bob_lemon,

I loved the grammar differences between the languages. Like where the negation glyphs go, or pluralisation. It always made me happy when I struggled with the translations, and then renumbered stuff like “Bards place the subject before the verb!”

Deyis,

Chants of Sennaar is by far one of the best games I’ve played. I had an absolute blast getting it to 100% and wish it had just a little bit more to do or vocalisations of the various languages.

morbidcactus,

I also really liked Heaven’s Vault, really recommend that as well. Tunic is probably one of my favourite recent games, genre wise very different but still in that translation category.

Chants was probably in my top I played last year, absolutely loved the soundtrack too.

Fez Is the only game I ever 100% in my life and it is a well polished masterpiece.

I own hundreds of games and put around 4k hours into Factorio but still recommend Fez to anyone.

I am saving this post because I sense a lot of “potential” here.

How long did you spend on the monolith puzzle before looking it up?

Socket462,

Can’t remember but I definitely used a guide to reach 100%

Yeah, nobody has actually figured out how that puzzle is solved so you can’t actually get max completion without data mining or a guide :P
