I do the same and it has a child which is the last set of internals which are compatible that functions as a test environment/production server (same thing).

I can tell by the pixels and from seeing a few shops in my day

You gain the loss of the ability to play League of Legends and Fortnite

Still no ETA on steam overlay/steam input on Wayland :(

I can’t believe all of you who are opposed to this.

Won’t you think of the poor data brokers who’s entire library of intimate personal details about every person who’s ever used a smartphone is practically worthless without the ability to link it to your actual identity.

Screw the children, think of the shareholders you monsters.

I haven’t tested this, but fairly sure you could just install vortex, mo2 or whatever other modmanager to same prefix as where the game is.

Yeah, you can use protontricks to execute any executable inside the WINE environment. You can take the command used to do that and put it in a .desktop file so you can run the program from a desktop icon or launcher.

Installing mods mostly considered a ‘problem’ by the standard of gaming on Steam where you just press play and let Proton take the wheel. If you were running games through WINE prior to Proton, it is much easier now.

You, a Heretic, after the inquisition is done with you:

I’m using Arch. There are constant things that need tweaking and adjusting. Configuration-wise I couldn’t use the analog and digital outputs of my sound card using the default Pipewire/Wireplumber configuration

Problems this week include things like Freetube failing to work because Google updated YT and a script breaking because Pandas updated to 3.0 when the script uses 2.0.

Not world ending problems, but certainly not in any way graphics card related (I also use an NVIDIA graphics card).

Someone making the statement that they have had no computer problems in years that were not related to their graphics card is simply nonsense or has some trivial explanation, like they have never updated and are suffering from the same problem for years or are defining ‘problem’ in some limiting way.

Literally haven’t had a single problem on arch that was due to arch in like 6 years.

Are you guys LLMs? This is English but it doesn’t seem to have any correlation to actual reality.

Nobody in the regular world has ever been effected by not having ECC.

Based on the article, it looks like at least 10% of crashes are caused by not having ECC.

Linus suffers from not understanding normal people.

Well, you are demonstrating that you’re an expert people person so I’ll just have to take your word.

In the past two years? Nope, entirely NVidia.

2 years without a non-video card related problem? I don’t think I go 2 weeks without some issue or another (Arch life).

Exactly, one of the ‘nerd edge cases’ (as the now removed comment mentioned) is that I use ZFS on my NAS.

There’s lots of checksumming and encryption. Errors in that process are not acceptable and could potentially cause data loss. Since the one of the points of using ZFS is the enhanced data integrity, not using ECC means losing out on that guarantee.

You can’t.

Social media is public, period.

If you want private social interactions then use end-to-end encrypted communication services.

Any oppressive regime will have multiple tools that can identify your access to social media services and determine who the human is behind the keyboard. Assume that everything you post on public social media has your real life name and address attached to it.

Unless you’re an expert and taking extreme measures (and you wouldn’t be asking this question if you were such an expert) then anonymous access to online services with respect to a sovereign power with an intelligence service is impossible.

I don’t know about you, but I use my RAM for a lot more than a browser.

I value my finite time more than I value a few Watt-Hours.

You could go to your local library and read through a bunch of books rather than using Google if you’re interested in more power savings ideas.

Any time anything has gone wrong with my PC, NVidia and their shitty drivers have been the culprit.

This seems unlikely. You’ve never had a hard drive failure, bad RAM, missing dependencies, malware or bugs in any other software except NVIDIA?

You must be one heck of a statistical outlier.

The joke is this, but updated with modern memes

I would recommend not installing beta drivers in that case.

I still have my great grandfather’s torches and pitchforks in the family armory, so I’m ready for the next stage also.
