Things are going well, home alone for some hours (kids and Marlyn are at her parents house up the street), so I'm just catching up on my computer.
Browsing the web, playing games, listening to music, compiling software :) The usual hehe. -

@elizafox I think it was a few years ago I reached the point where I thought supporting Windows users was no longer a good idea. Windows is high maintenance and has an increasing number of proprietary problems which aren't solvable by a technician, but mainly I just don't want to help maintain the Microsoft hegemony or be linked to that company in any way.
So these days if someone comes to me with a borked Windows laptop in an update boot cycle or overloaded with malware I tell them that I can help get them going again by installing a GNU/Linux distro (something like Ubuntu MATE LTS), but I can't help them with Windows.
The only exception I'd make to that is that if someone is willing to pay a good amount of money then I might consider helping them with Windows, but that rarely happens in practice as money is becoming generally scarce around here. -

Playing through some of my 'classic' games, I've played through Quake 1, next up is Half Life 2. Have not played through that one since the release, so this will be exciting. -

Back home again after camping for over two weeks at our camper. Been really nice, weather has not been to great. Now I'm home for a while, still have two weeks of vacation left - so plenty of time for anything really… Today I'm going to sit on my computer until I fall a sleep, kids are busy with their own things. Always good to come back home for a while :) -

Yeah, my plan during the winter is to get more into VR development for Linux. I finally got rid of windows for one of the projects I work on ( #yaics ), that was the last project I had that I needed windows for when making precompiled binaries. I set up cross compilation on my debian box, so now I do not need windows anymore at all. Also swapped out 3dsmax for blender , so I do not need it for any 3D work either anymore. -

Yeah, valvle is pushing VR on linux because they want it in steam OS.
And I'm damn happy about valve paving the way for such things. They are the company that really pushed things over to linux. -

I agree. same goes for my oculus, I backed it in the initial kickstarter campaign, they also was going to have linux support, but they dropped the ball on that pretty quick, then when facebook came a long it did not help either.
And then when the consumer version came along they sent me one consumer version for free since I backed the initial kickstarter project, but still no linux support. There is just one hope for that tought, and that is the fact that steam VR now is making its way to linux. -

misread your question on my initial reply. Elite does not like wine at all, and being x64 bit only causes more problems it seems. I had high hopes for a native linux version, they have added it to consoles and such, but still no luck yet..
Eve works perfectly in wine, so I enjoy playing that. It's a bit different from Elite, but I like the gameplay. And it being free to play on steam is good, that way I get to spend enough time with it until I start paying. -

Since Elite Dangerous has no linux support yet - I've started playing Eve Online on linux with wine (Elite dangerous does not work in wine yet). -
