In addition to rhe other advice, I'd add what helped me the most: install arch from scratch.

Use an older PC you have lying around, or just a VM. Use the installation guide on the arch wiki (or a video on feetube if you prefer to listen to a human explain stuff) and just learn as you go.

I'd love to see someone reading this comment out of context, and try to piece together how it came to be.

Germans value privacy to a degree that seems extreme to others. Google maps had a really hard time getting started there, for example. And cash is still widely used because it cannot be traced like card transactions.

Indeed. Proton for the win yet again.

Blind trial and error, mostly. Making the game folder read-only was the real "duct-tape" part, it occued to me to do that after steam kept "updating" the game and breaking my solution.

This certainly isn't of the same caliber as some of these other comments, but I found it to be fitting to the topic.

Last year I was having problems getting the game stellaris working on arch. (I use bazzite now, btw) My solution was the following:

1. download the game via steam.
2. switch it to use proton
3. switch it back to linux version
4. use the terminal to make the entire game folder read-only, so that steam couldn't touch the game anymore and screw it up.
5. add the exicutable to PATH
6. start the game via terminal

If any one of those step was left out, it didn't work. I'm no linux expert, so I didn't have the skills to actuality find the real problem.

Outward is made to be played by two players. It's a really beautiful survival rpg with difficult combat.

Glad I could help.

The survival elements are certainly a big part of rhe game, but if you want to reduce thier impact, there are a few mods that help.

I use a meditation mod, which alows you to slowly regen all three major stats (hp, stamina, mana) by sitting and doing nothing. This makes a HUGE difference in that you then only need potions for healing during fights, you never need to worry about having items to heal up.

Another one links all your stashes (one in each city where you buy a house) so that you don't have to carry everything with you al the time.

Another one (that I don't use) is improved inventory. It allows for sending items from your backpack directly to your stash. So again, you don't have to worry so much about how to carry loot back from dungeons, etc.

There's still a bit of inventory management, and both illnesses and environmental factors still need to be dealt with, but that's it.

I'm playing Outward, I'm loving the world and the artwork, and how challenging the combat is. It's an entirely different sort of RPG, and super-refreshing.

I also occasionally play dwarf fortress, and mech arena on iOS when I have a short break.

Another win for bazzite! I haven't even used waydroid yet, but I'm happy to know it's there.

Headcannon!!!
