Good luck!

I guess you can talk to Steam Support about it but there might be some other reason for this.

These days I just install Aurora Linux for this kind of situations. It’s exactly how you described it. Haven’t heard complains about it yet and their tech service needs from me almost dropped to zero.

Sorry but gotta say this:

I think I’ve seen this story before. :P

To be fair, it’s OK. Just you might want to check out EndeavourOS when you need to format your PC again.

It’s possible. They’re known to overproduce many things in the end.

Yeah, I misunderstood. $15 for all 4 of them? That’s great. I’m surprised they can make it that cheap.

The one I saw was also ~$15, probably Chinese then. Good price I think.

Of course, now that I have the stack of spares, the first one has lasted over a year…

Heh, it seems they were even rougher on the remote. :)

Well, one foot in the grave. I declared the time of death earlier. :)

No problem! Kinda disappointed but they’re Chromebooks, even if it was an Intel one, it’s still slow. Should’ve suspected. :)

Maybe you should post this to WindowsMemes

Hackintosh is dead though.

I was always on the lazy side of the spectrum and never really had good enough machines until recently so Gentoo was always too much wait time for me and I never really used it on my main machine. I like compiling my own stuff and I do have a good enough machine now, so exploring Gentoo again might be my next step, sadly I don’t have time for OS-level changes currently.

I actually haven’t tried Gentoo on my main machine for a really long time so I can only guess. With 6 cores 12 threads it should be fast enough I think. Gotta admit I’m surprised that it does that well on a Chromebook.

Yeah, I tried different workarounds to fix it (and one time I was really close) but that wasn’t good for my productivity so I postponed using River. I’ll get back some time later, probably the bug would be already gone too.

Anyway, while Niri is cool, it isn’t for me. Haven’t heard of MaoMaoWM before but it seems the name changed into MangoWC. However it seems like BSPWM with more juice, which I liked. Added to my stars and will follow its development, just like I do with River.

I used i3 many years before bspwm but when I learned about bspwm I never went back to i3. I can say the same with Sway, I tried it but it’s essentially i3. When there is River, I wouldn’t use it. :)

I wouldn’t mind touchscreen but apparently there are remotes with keyboard on it and not that expensive (don’t know about the quality though). They supposedly work on any PC related setup. I guess I know now what we’ll get next time.

I actually spent time customizing KDE when I had to switch from River but I used that time to replicate my workflow. Did that once, so I think that’s okay.

Yeah, it’s quite fun to meddle with River. I had to switch to KDE because I had a bug with various FPS on my dual monitor setup. Not River related but since River doesn’t intervene with that I had to use programs like way-displays etc. Other than this I actually miss River, my scripts. I don’t have that bug on KDE so currently that’s where I’m staying. At least I managed to make KDE exactly like a WM, so not gonna complain, other than the bloat. :)

River is brilliant. Hope more distros come pre-installed (and configured) with it.

Oh the temptation! Nowadays I’m actually tempted by Void but it seems my compiling times would not be bad with Gentoo either. Though currently I have no reason to change my setup unless it’s severely broken but I gotta keep these in mind.
