    8/10.

    Software engineer. Respected across a small public tech company. Most folks who do 30 seconds of GitHub snooping are impressed. There's a decent chance you've used code I wrote. Hopefully it keeps working.

    No idea how to use Windows. Or mac. Lots of missing network and security stuff. Struggle every time I have to do python package management. Terrified of C++.

    to be fair it's hard to be good at using windows when Microsoft's own documentation is often incorrect

      I used to think I was a 5/10, but then I tried to pirate a game on SteamDeck and I felt like I lost a lot of braincells. Spend like 6 hours trying to fix things and I accidentally bugged the internal speakers.

      I think I'm at 3/10, linux (SteamOS) is so fucking hard to use.

      I might be the most technologically illiterate Lemmy user ever.

        3/10

        I set up a jellyfin server but when I attempted a raw arch install I wanted to put a gun in my mouth.

        I literally have a tech job and tell the people I don't like tech. It's a means to an end.

        Can't even attempt terminal beyond downloads and updates. Tried a cli and quickly realized I need a gui. I am not a robot.

            Retired I.T.

            Told my family that if they ask me to help with an I.T. related issue, I'll bring my hammer.

            Fuck printers.

              Does a university assignment in assembly count?

              If your list of different assembly languages you know exceeds mine...

              I'm from the generation who could read 6510 code from hexdumps.

                In case you didn't figure it out (I don't have a Deck, but Linux Desktop), exit Big Picture mode, install Heroic Launcher, click "add new game", (optional: type in the name and set the image if you want), select that it's a Windows version, (optional: select a specific Proton version in the dropdown), select the executable you downloaded, and you're done.

                If the download was an installer instead, do the same steps except before you select the executable click "run executable" or whatever it says first and run the imstaller, then select the executable that the installer creates (it'll be in the prefix for the game, which should open when you click "select executable.")

                  I mean I think its the crack being intended for windows. Non RE4 cracked games do works, its just RE4's crack is not working in linux.

                    Ah, OK. I haven't tried that one. Possibly? I haven't had an issue with any of them, but there's always a chance it just doesn't work through WINE.
