  • Personally, I don’t really mess with battlenet games at all, but my understanding is that you can open Lutris and install battlenet pretty easily. Then just like on Windows, you install Diablo via their installer, and for most people, it works out of the box.

    You can also download battlenet directly and add it as a non steam game to steam and then run it using their Proton compatibility option. This also works on the steam deck.

    Look, I’ll be the first one to say that gaming on Linux is not as easy as it can be on Windows. But it is definitely not a bad experience, and hard core gaming is not the majority use case for computers. We have billions of PC users in the world. Under 3 million play Diablo 4. That is a fraction of a fraction of a percent.

    Given that you need to install non-native hi rez textures to play Diablo 4 in 4k on Windows, that is not a good test for the “general crowd”.

    The moment you get into any kind of high end gaming PCs, you’ve already left “general crowd” territory for most computer users.



  • To be honest, we really didn’t mess around with swimming too much. I think you can swim at the beaches in the summer without much problem. The winter it is probably too cold for more than a quick dip polar bear plunge-style.

    We did go swimming in between the divide in the continental plates in the run off water from the glacier there. That was amazing! Had to do it in a dry suit as it was freezing cold, but it was really cool and the water was more than crystal clear.




  • That sucks. I am sorry that you can’t do the simple thing that so many of us take for granted. My animal friends are real friends to me and I am so glad that I get to have them in my life.

    I’m sure that if you keep pushing, you will eventually find yourself in a position to make it real. In the meantime, here are two of mine. This is Dipper and Aang.
