  • I have been using TW (and its predecessors) for around 17 years and have no major complaints at all! KDE Plasma is my preferred desktop and TW comes with that option as a default. Wayland is available but still has a few niggles with KDE Plasma in my experience.

    TW will play both indie and mainstream games with no problem and comes with many repos of up-to-date packages. CoolerControl is a good app for setting up your Kraken if necessary. Your GPU should work out-of-the-box.

    TW supports Secure Boot and should detect it when setting up. My advice for installation is to create a bootable USB stick with the network install version of TW and go from there. The GUI allows you to select a default installation or set things up just how you like them.

    Let me know if you have any questions!




  • As with any ‘yarr!’ software, you should be downloading it from a trusted source (cs.rin, rutracker, jc141, IRC etc.), then scan it with something like clamav. Remember that wine alone will not restrict any malicious code as it has the same access as your user.

    Personally, I have yet to meet a malicious Linux file in any native yarr! downloads but that does not mean that they aren’t out there. Just make sure that you use a trusted source.

    Finally, if you are in doubt then don’t install it!
