    You should just test run it from a bootable usb.

    Install steam. Mount your NTFS drive which contains your windows games. If you have sims on steam use steam. If not take a look at lutris before doing any of the above.

    Your experiment ends when you’ve tested all games you want to play.

    Now: You cannot use NTFS (windows) drive for games, although you did it in the experiment long extended usage is discouraged.

    So you will need to find a way to transfer your games to a different formatted drive. (ext4, btrfs for example)

    If you don’t need that advice you will eventually run into frustrating issues.

    The whole arch advantage (imo) is that you have a full understanding of what’s in your machine and how it works.

    As a beginner you won’t understand and that’s okay, but you should try different things (or don’t and just focus on what works for you) as long as the end result is you doing: pacman -Qe and going “hmm that makes sense”, and imo the undesired result is going “hmm what do these all do, why do I have 2000+ packages”






  • oh, yeah for sure.

    I was literally looking at this stupid Chinese product I bought for installation instructions on YouTube and the comments were just bots spamming how great the product is and how much they love it or needed it.

    no one real is installing a product and then immediately finding the company installation instructions to post how great the product is and how it changed your life
