Appreciate it, I’ll take a look thanks!

Edit: Looks like it works after setting PROTON_ENABLE_NVAPI=1 as well, thanks again.

Getting washed out HDR on a 4070ti on 570.144 drivers for whatever reason, but gamescope w/ HDR seem to work perfectly with Proton 10 (Both the valve beta and now GE versions, it’d freeze when trying to enable HDR in the past), having HDR at all in games is a huge win so I’ll take it.

Tried GoW Raganarok and Cyberpunk for reference

For most people though yeah, Debian is rock solid, only went arch on my desktop for nvidia drivers (and HDR), archinstall really simplifies installing it.

Arch and Debian wikis are both amazing sources of information, highly recommend for any distro.

As far as I’m aware, a lot of the core utilities originate back some time ago, stuff like ls, CD, chmod/chown, cat, sed, awk etc.

Now the question is, is a piece of software that’s been maintained or ported since the 70s considered pre 79 software?

Decky has a Powertools plugin, what I’ve been doing, can set per game profiles and restrict charge rates as well with that.

Nice, I’ve been doing through power tools, glad they’re adding it in without that

I bought the LCD when it was really steeply discounted, like nearly $280 CAD before taxes and duties for a new one. I bought my partner an oled one and the screen is strikingly different to me, size makes a difference and it’s a lot more vibrant (+ HDR).

The LCD is a solid machine and a great value, I like my partner’s screen and battery life but I don’t know if it’s worth spending twice the price. Regardless, both are really easy to service, way more comfortable than the switch is too.

You can muffle the beeper pretty effectively with some tape, the old air fryer we had terrified one of the dogs because of the incessant beeping. My coffee scale by default beeps whenever you touch it, thankfully that’s 100% mutable.

I also hate this.

I’ve been playing rogue trader on mine recently, I’d describe as playable, but it’s night and day different going through moonlight (which yeah, obviously). Satisfactory was able to get 40-60 pretty reliably.

How bad is bg3 on it?

From the arch wiki

sudo -e {file}

Set SUDO_EDITOR in your profile to the editor of your choice, benefit is it retains your user profile for that editor, it’s also less to type. For stuff like editing sudoers you’re supposed to use visudo to edit that. Others can probably give better/more thorough reasons to consider it.

Trying to be vague as heck in the spoilers, totally get it! Don’t think there’s anything there that’s super spoilery (I hope!) But definitely play it safe.

Fingers crossed next run, as for the item there’s a

Yeah, I’ve never had

Definitely up there for the most notes I’ve taken playing a game for a while, some of them aren’t immediately obvious though their usefulness

Finally got

The back story as I said is probably the thing that kept me going, not 100% there but I needed to know if my own theories were correct.

Edit, also

I did enjoy it and the underlying story kept me going, gotta say after playing it with my partner for a while, the rogue like elements started getting a little grating, especially if you’re looking for extremely specific rooms and get crap RNG (took like 12 days to get a

I know there are

Got tedious/frustrating at times but did overall enjoy it.

I’ve seen mention that stuff like the odbc connection manager have parts dating back to 3.1

I got the dbrand grip for it with stick grips, it’s actually really nice to hold, certainly better than my switch lite (seriously that thing gives me RSI, really needed something to grip onto.) Which also has a kickstand attachment if you want. It’s overall though very comfortable, I find it better to hold up over propping it up with something, seems to keep it at a more natural angle for me.

I also switched to clicky buttons on mine, it’s definitely a preference but they feel better to me vs the stock ones on my partner’s.

Terminal usage is a tool just like GUI tools, I don’t think it’s helpful either to preload people with the belief that it’s some arcane tool that takes years before you can start using it, like anything you pick it up by doing.

Can’t really say it’s 100% optional as a blanket case either, heavily depends on a user, my work I’ve depended on having a terminal for years, and that was even before I moved into SWE, I’ve seen lots of business developed processes put together as an amalgam of batch files, VBA/VBS, and python because they needed to put something together with what they had rights to.

Be honest that I don’t see the terminal as a barrier to Linux anyhow, for the use case of “I browse the internet and use office programs”, you absolutely do not need to drop to the CLI, at least not for Debian or Mint, can handle installs and updates through their graphical package managers. Most people probably aren’t setting up services or the like on their machines, and if they are they already require terminal usage on any operating system.

Haven’t looked into it but do shops offer lube analysis services? Yeah you could send out your own sample to a lab, having it as a shop service would be way more accessible to people.

Though, in my experience, getting people to commit can be a pain, lots of “yeah I know we have a long p-f interval and it’s super noticeable before it functionally fails, but it’s not that much effort so I’m doing needless maintenance anyhow just in case”, which end of the day you do you.

I’ve used Thunderbird since forever as my go-to client, I used mutt as well for a while and that met my needs pretty well.

I’ve always known your world is complex, working closely with accountants and actuaries the last 4 years doing data applications further confirmed that, there’s some legitimately complex math that shows up, and it’s a lot of work to model that correctly.

“It’s just a …” Is a redflag to me, project’s going to be a gongshow.

I find that mentality of not trying to understand the problem and its context totally counter to the engineering method.

Personally, recommend forgejo, gitlab has a lot of features I didn’t need and I found the upgrade process if you didn’t keep on top of it annoying. Forgejo actions are pretty similar to github ones and setting up runners is super straightforward.
