Wow, the parity with Microsoft office is amazing
It is highly recommended that you use Lutris, Heroic Launcher or Bottles to prepare an environment for the SW you are trying to run. This offers the most flexibility.
To use the official Steam Proton, you need to add an “external game” which will be the SW you want to run.
Elden Ring for every season, it’s rough out there…
Real talk: I waited 2 years to play Elden Ring with the DLC so I’m all set for Autum and Winter.
Then Space Marine 2, but I will finish Space Marine 1 first.
“Isn’t your colon free and open source for anyone to use?, that’s what I thought, you corpo chill”
If you have 300 you might have other problems
From the application itself, you can disable the Deals and Promotions.
I was wondering why I have not seen any ads even though I have this active for the app. So there you go.
The joke is in the eye of the beholder, for me it’s funny because you have the buzzwords “free and open source” which means you can implement it however you want and the user here decided “fuck it, I will do it by hand”.
Serious response I agree with Pogo, it looks like a handmade RAM.
A free and open source GPU compiled by hands
I saw the other comments, BTRFS appears to work fine, I wouldn’t use it because it is unfinished (there are some features not ready according to the status page) but I guess it is stable.
What do you mean splitting the disk? I just recently removed windows, moved and resized both boot and primary partition to take over all the space, now it is a pure Ext4 disk. I would not use BTRFS for your use case but that is up to you.
I would go with Linux Mint if you don’t want to tinker with it much, but Arch will allow you to be in the bleeding edge easily if you install things from the AUR but you could stay in the stable channels as well.
Regarding games, I’m mostly a Single Player kind of guy and basically everything I have tried so far just works if it’s installed from Steam, for others you can use Lutris or Heroic Launcher but tinkering might be needed.
All of this just to say: I use Arch btw. It’s been practically 2 years already since I haven’t boot into Windows for gaming.
I like big bloaties…
Since you shared so much already, what’s your opinion on Wayland, specifically Hyprland?
Zaslav and whoever is influencing the bad movies at Sony are a danger to the industry. I do believe Warner Brothers was better before (like long ago) but they got in the make money fast mentality and took hostage good franchises doing cash grab after cash grab. Of course, making money is the name of the game but either you produce shit quick or produce a good product. That is how Marvel got where they are, with good products, but as you know they also switched to the quick-shit money making strategy.
Liked your rant btw.
Also check the AMDGPU archwiki, there are some troubleshooting suggestions you might want to look at.
Are you on the open source drivers or in the official ones? You should be using the open source as they are better in this case.
I have the impression it has to do with your monitor as well, could it be some HDR functionality? Try opening the OSD of your monitor and check if something changes when on the application
You can install shit in Windows too, it is exactly the same case when grandma installs too many toolbars in Internet Explorer 6. No one is warning you there that you might be installing malware.
What I mean is that there are already curated repositories for each distro that can be accessed easily by the package manager. If you go outside of your package manager and repos, gloves are off, you better know what you are doing.
Regarding custom ROMs, since you brought it up and being a custom ROM enthusiast, there are still a lot of complaints, nastiness and pressure from the users similar to this. Installing a ROM has definitely a higher knowledge barrier and that makes you aware of the risks, also you will brick your phone before you are able to install a ROM… if you don’t know what you are doing.
Finally, the developer here in this very lemmy post mentions that the OP of that bug report was working with them in order to solve the issue. The one on the screenshot was just a random dude unnecessarily being rude. Free software is usually delivered as is with no warranties, specifically small projects and libraries.
Thanks for coming to my TED.talk
There is always a risk using libraries from others. If you install something without knowing what you are doing and without considering the risks, you should not be installing it.
