I guess this is kind of asking for direction, but also just airing out my grievances.

I have tried multiple times to play skyfactory 4 and have stopped every time. I just started a new skyfactory 3 and am starting to realize why I don’t like skyfactory 4. 4 feels very linear to me. Everything is centered on bonsai trees. Maybe later with huge mega farms mystical agriculture could take over but it’s way too far away and I lose interest far before then. 3 keeps helping you move forward because there are so many things to try even in early game that makes you want to push into new mods.

The second reason I stopped might just be preference, but i feel like 3 is easier to scale making the grind feel shorter. Things like extreme reactors and tinkers construct can start small and then grow with you as your production increases. I also do like that there are some mods that help a ton (some would say broken) that help move things if you know about them e.g. cloches in immersive engineering. I just feel like 4 has been optimized to draw out the grind in one mod at a time.

4 seems great and I want to love it, but I just run out of steam too early. The last time I even let myself move through some grind by using creative to fill in things once I had made a couple of something.

I am open to suggestions and people telling me I am wrong. I would just like to know how everyone addresses my issues.

Thank you all in advance!

So I am new to Linux and have made it my main driver in the last month. So far I have been able to solve problems as they come up and I have not had major problems.

What I need from my machine is a platform to do my mechanical engineering homework, do some hobby programming, and play video games on it. I have been able to get things working for my needs on the first two accounts. I need help setting my computer up for games now.

My problem is quite a few games I have tried to play slow to a crawl then freeze my entire system. I have checked the protondb website and on games I am having problems with people often are saying that with proton it works out of the box, sometimes even when they are using similar setups as I am. I use an NVIDIA graphics card, which I know is part of the problem, but don’t have the money or means to buy a new graphics card that is comparable for the next while. My drivers are updated and most things “should” work but maybe I am missing some basic setup somewhere to help proton, and steam do their thing. I am willing to go so far as changing my distribution but am stuck right now with the hardware. Any suggestions or thoughts would be greatly appreciated!

My digital audio converter has always switched my audio. On windows I found an application that could do it, but I have been unsuccessful so far on Linux. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I am pretty new to vault hunters and would rather not go back to Reddit for the answer. I am having really bad lag and high CPU usage playing vault hunters. I feel like my PC is not under-powered. I am able to play most games at max graphics and frame-rate. However Vault hunters has crashed from high CPU usage and has some incredibly long loading times when entering a vault. It is almost unplayable. I have only 4 chunks rendering and 5 simulated. Is there a setting or something I am missing?
