  • Every time I’ve had this happen to me or anyone else I knew, its because the wine version changed which can sometimes cause issues with the wine prefix.

    I know you said no updates, but just in case you didn’t factor in the version of proton/wine updating, that could be what makes it seem like its randomly happening.

    The easiest fix is to blow away the wine prefix, but depending on the game that could also blow away any SAVE DATA or mods installed for that game. And depending on how you have lutrus setup, multiple games could be setup to use the same wine prefix if they’re using the same version of wine.

    If you end up thinking this might be the issue, and you have trouble finding a guide, just reply and I’ll try to find a good one for you.









  • I think your 3rd paragraph perfectly demonstrates the underlying issue, the “posted a message, with zero knowledge at all of linux” part.

    People learn differently, and have different approaches to learning something new. Some people prefer to ask for input, advice, or opinions from other people they belive to be more knowledgeable. Others prefer to read and absorb as much information as they can to get a solid foundation, and only reach out to others when the information they need is not readily available, or their issue is nuanced and specific.

    Neither approach is right or wrong, they’re just different, because people are different. The former view the the latters as being toxic, and the latters view the formers as being lazy. Linux and more technical communities with more of a learning curve typically are made up of the latter.

  • Learning one language makes it easier to learn another, so dont worry about which one you start with. Basically the “language” or vocabulary changes, but the underlying “grammer” (as in noun, pronoun, subject, adjective, etc) is for the most part universal. Like knowing what a library, functuon, method, class, loop, variable, etc will be transferable.

    For a project, I dont know what you do for work, but you mentioned vba macros in spreadsheet, so id recommend building off of that. As someone else with adhd, the more interested I am in something, the more motivated I am in pushing through roadblocks when its not instantly easy. So id recommend trying to automate some task you do manually for work, something you know a lot about and know what the inputs and outputs should look like, and write something for that.
