What do I do with my free time now that I can't game anymore?

I used to spend 3-4hrs a day
>>
>>54784460
Read books
>>
>>54784460
Game on linux?
>>
>>54784460
write free software :^)
>>
>>54784460
Install arch with a tiling window manager and spend that extra time every day tweaking, ricing and watching anime about little girls.
>>
Watch other people game on twitch, ustream, and youtube then criticize their newb skills.

I tried to install league on wine but broke it because
I forgot to change to proprietary drivers. I'll install it again
>>
Thinking about installing Ubuntu later.

How do I actually make it look nice.
I really need to learn how to do the sudo shit, and apt-get
>>
>>54784460
You did good.

You can use the time to work on yourself, learn a new skill, a language, go for a run, workout. Your new, better life has just started.
>>
>>54784460
Play games on Linux (dwarf fortress, 0AD, xonotic are all exceptional), have Windows as a vm for gaymen, or pick up some other hobbies. Reading, exercise, learning an instrument. 3-4 hours of vidya probably isn't good anyway. 1-2 hours is good, and then the other hours developing other interests.
>>
>>54784653
>>54784605
Not OP. I stopped gaming, I only keep it for certain days that I really have nothing else to do, and even then I cant play for more than an hour without getting bored.

Any other recommendations on what I should do?
I dont know what to dedicate my time to.

buy a PS4

>>54784713
Well, if you don't already exercise regularly, it's a good habbit to get into. Other than that, something completely different from your normal interests would be good. Pick up an instrument or chess or something.
>>
Have two builds: one gaming build for Windows and one desktop build for Linux. It sounds expensive but it isn't really. The Linux components will last for several years, and you'll have to upgrade the parts from your gaming box every 2 years anyway. So your Linux box gets the hand me downs from the gaming box.

>>54784460
Learn a useful skill like programming

>>54784460

Sports/Gym. I'm serious.
>>
>>54784577
The terminal is what makes Linux so powerful so of course you need to learn it.
>>
>>54784713
start building a productive routine, get into fitness, that will help in all aspects of life. Whether it's running, lifting weights, sport or whatever, at least be active. Also, read 30-1hr a day before sleeping. Also focus on studies or work. Then you can game when you have free time. Gaming is fine as long as you do it in moderation and don't slack on other productive things.

>>54784577
install Cinnamon
>>
>>54784561
why don't you play DOTA2?
>>
>>54784561
Use PlayonLinux, it will install the required libraries and dependencies. I have played LoL on Ubuntu 15.10 for a few months, works perfectly with only a font issue in store.

You get an fps drop but if you have a medium range GPU it is not a problem. I actually managed to hit 58fps on my Intel HD 4000.

>>54784920
Dota 2 runs natively on Linux because of Steam. Most steam games run natively and have openGL support you can add in the startup command line.

Thanks, I was boxing for a few weeks but got way too tired to keep going. I am a fairly healthy skinny guy, and I dont eat junk food.

I don't like Instruments much at all.

I really have nothing else to do besides browse 4chan, and watch YouTube.
I have a good Social life, but I am referring to my life on the computer.

I want more to do.

>>54784819
Yea ill get that hang of that.

Anything else besides that? Other desktops variants that are good.

>>54784460
What kind of games do you like to play aside from LOL? There's a good number of games available and growing:
https://steamdb.info/linux/

Try XCOM 1 & 2, one of the paradox games, CIV 5, serious sam or CSGO, etc
