I want to move to Linux, but I need to be able to use the VPN service my work uses and I’m just not sure how to get it working on Linux. I should just dual boot.
Without prodding too much into what VPN you work uses
Most VPN solutions run on linux just fine, even Microsoft PPTP VPN solution works fine. I would probably check with your IT department what protocol they use and any connection caveats (like machine certificates used for authentication) and look into the different VPN solutions (some examples; WireGuard and OpenVPN are very well supported, IPSec (libreswan or strongswan are options here) depends on setup, PPTP/L2TP should work with most setups (I have to admin I havn’t touched those enough), vpnc works with Cisco base IPsec setups and openconnect works with most SSL VPN connection)
It’s Watchguard. Though looking at their site, it seems like there might be support that I wasn’t able to find last time I looked into this. Definitely want to dual boot at some point. I’ve got a Surface Book 3 though, and I know it needs special kernel stuff to get working properly, so I’d almost rather just wait until my boss retires and everyone’s out of a job to dive into Linux. Easier than finding spare time in my life. Living the dream
I have not any experience with WatchGuard, but it from some quick searching around it seems to not be far from the easiest to set up for linux. dual-booting is probably the easier solution.
I hope you find a solution to what sounds like not the best life situation, and may you have an otherwise have a nice Linux journey.
Yeah, I use it mostly while traveling. It might come out a few times at the destination if I’m traveling for work or to my hometown but thankfully it never really comes out when I’m actually on vacation.
It’s fun. It could definitely use some work in some places, and if you’ve ever played Ark it shares a lot with that (both the positives and flaws), with a little bit of Satsifactory. But I’ve found it to be addicting, so much so I’ve been sneaking in small sessions using my Steam Deck
It’s been so good. I sit at my desk and neglect my gaming PC and Steam Deck to play this thing. 2 weeks later I’m still in the honeymoon phase with it.
I also love when I make posts like these. It’s easy for me to make my lighter posts where I just talk about what i did and the game, but I feel like posts like these really showcase that I’m enjoying a game and what it’s all about
Kinda why I’m not jumping to get a Steam Deck. I have a desktop, and I already know if I had the deck it would almost never get used outside my apartment anyway, since I’d never actually have time for it.
Now if I was still a kid with no responsibility and didn’t have to drive myself, it would be a different story. That story being I still wouldn’t have a deck because I wouldn’t have money and my parents wouldn’t buy it for me. 😩
This came out of nowhere for me. I’ve seen this game floating around in Steam’s Next Fest but I didn’t expect such glowing reviews (mostly put down by Xbox Achievement’s 6.5/10)
I don’t put much stock in games from unknown developers ahead of their release, but people who got access to this during the review period have been dying to get to the end of the embargo to talk about it.
I feel attacked. I bought one these gamepads where you put your phone in. Loaded the phone up with bunch of emulators and roms. I havent used it it public but once. I cant stomach outing myself as a 30+ gAmEr in public. Its a me problem and i should just give less of a fuck but i simply cant.
I think a big part of the problem for 30s+ gamers is that we grew up hearing how gaming = lazy bums, and it’s hard to break away from that. I think in company of other gamers it’s cool, but you still expect non-gamers to judge you
I use my Deck when I travel ( which is all the time). I bust that thing out on the plane, on public transit and in my hotel room. I literally do not care what people think of me by doing so.
I travel for work quite a bit and always take my Deck with me. Not only is it great in the airport and on the the plane, but then when I get to the hotel I can often hook it up to the tv.
2 weeks ago I was in Podunk, Ky for the week and got over 50 hours of Rocket League in from my hotel bed.
Used to travel for work and a switch at the time with BotW was a life saver for entertainment after work for the days we didn’t have some work get together planned (those were mostly Thursdays or Fridays). I have really good memories of that game.
I remember a work contact tipped me off on when they would be arriving to the target near work (he knew one of the people working there). Thankfully they were not being scalped enough and you could still find them for retail prices on that area.
I take my film camera with me and explore the places I’m at with nothing to do. Just gotta invest in a good, light, as small as possible tripod for night shooting already.
