I'm one of those weirdos that never thought the screen looked bad to begin with. I'm interested in the upgrade of course, but I can give it another year. The software upgrades alone make it feel like I'm running a new Steam Deck compared to when I got it 1.5 years ago.

Conservatives lie to pollsters

They'll take it as far as the pollster wants ask. It's not really about what they believe or say, it's about unwavering support and owning the libs. They know they'll never be tested where they have to choose, so it's just a big game to them.

Things really move fast in AI, huh

Very legal and very cool

How anyone looks at this greasy used car salesman, and thinks his dumb Libertarian ideas and shrill whiny vibes are going to solve all their problems....

In my experience using something like

export KWIN_X11_NO_SYNC_TO_VBLANK=1

export KWIN_X11_REFRESH_RATE=144000

export KWIN_X11_FORCE_SOFTWARE_VSYNC=1

would basically work in allowing the 60hz lock released from the 144hz main display, but it would still introduce tearing, especially on the secondary 60hz display.

With Wayland it's an out of the box, tear free experience which is what I'm referring to.

Definitely. I have a pair of pixel buds that give me very noticeable latency when paired in Windows. I've never been able to find a way to use the low latency codecs to fix this.

In Linux it's a complete opposite experience. I have a menu with every codec in the book, and I can actually watch video in Linux without even noticing any latency now.

I'm doing my part.

20-year boondoggle, you know.. The easy route...

I learned about that in a Trevor Moore song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6TxjrHPHypA

The NTFS warning is a little disingenuous. I wouldn't recommend people go with it if they're choosing Linux only obviously, but I'm going to say with years of personal testing about 99.9% of things work just fine using an NTFS drive. I think it's been years since I had any kind of issue with game data that I attributed (and maybe falsely) at the time to the NTFS filesystem.

In steam you'll need to symlink your compatdata folder to a linux filesystem, but that's about it.

I've tried this also. It works alright unless you write files in Windows, it will set the UID to the Windows SID. WHen you use a Steamlibrary and move back and forth, games that are updated in Windows can give you permission errors in LInux, etc.

It's all workable and definitely an option, but WinBTRFS has a performance overhead, and the dualing permissions made it not a perfect solution.

I's all too embarrassing

That price tag though...

A cautionary tale of when the ugliness unside morphs the flesh into a lumpy miscolored mass of dangling skin

Yes, it lists all the games just like it does with Epic and GOG. You can sort, search, and filter into one big library also.

I was using Pop_OS for a while, but I've recently been playing with EndevourOS again the past few months.

You still need to buy the client and the expansions you want to play, but not required to pay monthly like some other MMOs

Wow, thanks. Testing this now

There's a lot of QoL stuff, and the dialog is all fully voice acted so the emphasis is really more on exploring the world and story.

I've been playing it at my own pace for years, and never worry much about what level I'm at or things like that
