Nostr Web Client

The goal is to run a Open Tibia server cloning some repos and making modifications to it. It's for me and some friends, just for fun.

The thing is I always encounter a problem that's not considered in the guides, or even sometimes those guides are soooo old that became useless.

Regarding using Linux on real hardware, I've read somewhere in Reddit that Windows ran on VM inside Linux works way better than Linux tan on VM inside Windows. But I still don't know enough and have no idea how to migrate my license in case I decide to switch.

And getting rid of Windows, sadly, is not an option for me.

As I'm not a gamer, I'm not familiar with Open Tibia, but I am a linux person. I'm brand new here on Nostr, but I'm liking it so far so might hang around, you can run any issues by me if you'd like, I can always have a shot at fixing them. Yes windows can run well inside Linux, with a powerful machine. You can also dual boot. So have linux and windows on the same computer. That being said the best thing to do in all honesty is just buy an old computer like a Thinkpad t430 and install linux on it to get used to it. IMO

Awesome!

First of all, thanks for your predisposition, I'll keep that in mind.

Lots of stuff is going on and at the moment I only have a 5 years old Lenovo Legion that does all I need and maybe more ^^

BTW, welcome to Nostr, hopefully you find it a nice place here.

Set up your wallet and feel free to post some #introduction so people get to know you a bit more :D

Have a look into Dual Booting Linux, maybe go with something simple to start with like linux mint, just for starters. Its better than going down the windows in a VM option. 😉

Thank you, yes I'll have a look at the introductions too. I just searched linux and yours was the first post that came up. :)

Especially if you are new to Linux I wouldn't directly recommend vanilla Debian. Zorin OS, Pop_OS! or Linux Mint Debian Edition (if you want to have a Debian base instead of Ubuntu) are much better to get started. I've had good experience with Zorin OS on a laptop for an acquaintance.

Because you are new to Linux you aren't aware of what decisions Linux Mint have been making, and why I'm recommending the Debian Edition. They made a stance against a piece of technology coming from Ubuntu directly (Snap packages) and even are proactively resisting users trying to install it manually (or so I've heard).

That was a cool coincidence. Will check out Dual Booting.

Hey! I came back to let you know I'm now dual booting Windows and Debian (cinnamon desktop) and so far I'm pretty happy with it. Sometimes is a pain in the ass to find altenative apps but overall I'm liking it a lot 😃
