  1. I know this is a 6 month old thread but I can't figure this out. Also, I'm entirely new to pop os (debian, ubuntu, etc). I use solus as my daily driver so the deb command prompts are all new to me. If anyone has a dumbed down, noob answer for me, I'd greatly appreciate it!
  2. I'm having the same problem but uninstalling then reinstalling steam via the terminal didn't fix it. I've tried reformatting the drive too, which didn't change anything.
  3. Most of these I've tried that. Mechwarrior 2 being my biggest headache. I also only had windows 10 on hand at the time so I'm wondering if I can work some magic with Linux and maybe throw an XP partition in for kicks. 10 years ago, I could run literally anything on XP - though I'm not sure if XP will accept my current hardware
  4. Budget (including currency): N/A Country: USA Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Other details ASUS Tuf Gaming B550M, Ryzen 7 5800x, Radeon 5600xt, 32 gb ram, 1 x 250 gb SSD, 1 x 110 gb SSD, 1 x 3 tb mechanical harddrive I'm rebuilding my homebuilt rig this week after replacing the CPU and motherboard. Currently running windows 10 off the 110 gb SSD with the old school mechanical drive for steam and other easy to replace game files. After replacing the hardware, I'm planning to run Pop OS on the 110 gb ssd, windows 10 on the 250 gb ssd and make Pop my 1st stop for work and gaming with windows there as a crutch. QUESTION: I love my 90's games and have a bunch of old games on CD. I've had mixed success with Dosbox on windows with games like Mechwarrior 2. Would I get the best results using Wine in Linux, dosbox or maybe even setting a partition in the 250 gb for windows xp or even 98? Please don't say try it with windows 10 - tried and failed with that countless times (windows 7 too)
  5. You're the second person to suggest the same thing. That will still jive with my current cpu and psu? Both of those have been holding their own though I wasn't sure if the processor was in need of an upgrade before the graphics processor or if upgrading either would overload the power unit.
  6. Hi everybody, I built my PC back in 2016 and seem to have lost my mojo when it comes to shopping parts. I'm currently using a Gigabyte GeForce GTX 950 gpu and wasn't sure what the best upgrade would be for $300 or less. My rig is based of a Asus z170 pro gaming MB with a core I5-6500 pcu and Evga 650p2 psu. I also have 16 gb of ram with two available slots. In short, what's the best gpu I can put into this in the $200 to $300 range OR am I better off upgrading something else to increase gaming performance. So far, games like Deus Ex Manking Divided and a heavily modded Xcom 2 WOTC run just fine the way the rig is now but I'd like to stay a little ahead of the curve without paying full price for top of the line, most recent components. Any advice you could offer would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Jack
