lol this is such a classic Linux trope

Person A: I can’t seem to get this to work! Arg!

Person B: I have been running this for years with no issues. It just works!

It wasn’t until windows shat itself and I couldn’t boot into it anymore that I took my Linux drive more seriously.

Maybe it’s a Wayland joke?

Today I updated and now one of my cores is at 100% and the fans on my laptop won’t shut up.

Oh man. I remember when this came out. I bought the deluxe vinyl and listened to it like mad. This song got me every time.

You’d have to be pretty rich to have that be a problem.

You’re talking about the internet, here…

I wonder about ping. Will it ever be on par with Ethernet for online gaming?

You could buy an Apple branded polishing cloth. Pretty much the same as a donation.

Is there any advantage to having extra ports over a dongle with all of those at once?

Ignorance.

Totally. The classic MBA move of firing important people who’s role he doesn’t understand, seeing short term gains from lack of salaries, and exits the company just in time for it to tank because it can’t operate without those people. Walks away with a few cool million, on to his next company to suck dry.

The first virus was made in 1986 for IBM personal computers. Nothing is free from computer viruses. Not macOS, not iOS, not Android, not GNU/Linux, not freeBSD, not even an IBM PC from the 80s. All software can be exploited. The only reason GUI software is the most exploited is because it is what people use. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brain_(computer_virus)

GUI is not only intended for office tasks. In fact, I would argue that many office tasks are better suited for command line, but I’ll agree that nobody knows how to do that anymore.

GUI was always best suited for artists. Apple has, for a long time, especially since OSX, been explicit about catering to artists. Can you imagine editing video in a terminal? Or editing a layered image? Or producing music?

Thanks! I will try all of these suggestions.

Thanks for the tip about Flatseal!

I’ll try the EA builds, too.

I recently made the switch to Manjaro.

I feel like these are all kinks that I’ll eventually be able to work out, but these are the issues I’ve faced so far:

Extreme stuttering in Yuzu. It reads 60fps but it is absolutely not. Using the AUR version, since the Flatpak can’t load my roms folder from my NAS. (Before you assume the network drive is the issue, know that it is over a 10g SFP+ on an NVMe on the NAS. No problems in Windows.)

Input issues in AUR Cemu. Cannot get my DS5 controller to work. I think it doesn’t have permissions to write to my config file for some reason so I can’t save my controller settings. Flatpak version works fine though.

Wayland does not support my dual screens on Nvidia. Was hoping that could help with my stuttering issues… shot in the dark.

BeamNG needs to render shaders for about 5mins before loading. Skipping leads to extreme stuttering. That is way too long for startup. Even big Yuzu games don’t take that long.

As an aside I’m pulling my hair out trying to get Google Drive to work properly. rclone is not behaving with Codium - I can’t reliably compile in the mounted drive like I could with Google Drive stream on Windows. Sometimes it compiles and sometimes it doesn’t. I don’t know why it works sometimes and doesn’t work other times. I need this functionality for work so that’s a bummer.

Also wake from sleep does not work.

I’m not complaining per se, if you have any tips I’m desperate to hear some. But my experience with desktop Linux has been far from smooth and my non scientific experience so far is that performance is much much better on Windows.

But I will stick it out this time. I think this is my fourth time trying to daily drive Linux.

This hack is more thorough. For example he split the top and bottom shells so the skates actually make contact with the desk/pad.

Yeah, software is way easier to manage over borders than hardware - they already do that with their different App Stores. The comparison to USBC isn’t valid.

However, I wonder if it would be easy enough to trick your device into thinking it’s somewhere else. Recently had to download an app from the US App Store (I am Canadian) and all it took was creating a new account and declaring my country as USA. If it was that easy, I’m sure plenty of people would be happy enough making an alt Apple ID for side loading.

If you do quick circles with the cursor do you not see more frames of the mouse on the high refresh rate monitor?

I use Windows, macOS, and Linux, but all in separate ways. Haven’t used a desktop Linux in quite some time — only headless Linux servers.
