It’s always something 😅

That sounds really frustrating. When my 1070 croaks I’m going with an AMD. Probably not going to upgrade before then since I mostly play older games and GPUs are just too expensive these days. First it was crypto mining, now it’s AI… I just want to play my single player RPGs!

That sucks. I have definitely had issues with certain hardware on other machines. Even with this Bazzite install, sleep doesn’t work (thanks to my Gigabyte MB, as the other poster mentioned) and I have some weird behavior with ethernet, but my asus wifi card is working fine, thankfully, and that didn’t work properly on windows when I tried it before I stopped dual booting.

Hopefully you can find something that works well with your setup. The most frustrating issues to debug are ones with support for some specific hardware that isn’t widely used by other Linux users, and may not ever be fully supported. Now that I am fully on linux, next time I upgrade I’m going to try to find components that are proven to work, and will probably be avoiding both Gigabyte and nVidia.

Only exception I have seen was when the professor was kind of a troll. He was a good teacher. This was in a pretty entry level physics class at a tech school, so we basically got a high school level physics as a pre-req for our degree in whatever 2 year program we were in.

He spent the week leading up to the first big test talking about how hard it was, how people needed to take it seriously, etc.

He handed out the grades after and everyone was visibly upset, nobody had a passing grade. Then he explained, after letting us freak out for a minute, that the score at the top was out of 50, not 100 and I think everyone passed

After that the class pretty fun.

Huh, I may look into this. Sounds neat. Thanks!

I still had to wait for a long time for shaders to load on initial launch on some games (DA Veilguard) but performance seemed fine. I didn’t have performance issues on Ubuntu so not sure about your particular issues, but another thing to consider is based on your card, the latest nvidia drivers may not be correct - I had to download an older driver package for my card (1070) as recommended by nvidia. Bazzite had me select which series of card I had when downloading the ISO, so I assume it included the older drivers for my card. I haven’t actually checked the installed driver version though

I have heard of rebasing but I haven’t dug into it. Sounds really cool!

I do use my PC for gaming, but Bazzite did come with a lot of other “gaming” software that I don’t use, so it’s good to know there is a lighter weight alternative that otherwise has the same benefits.

I have an older Ryzen 5, 16GB of ram and an nVidia 1070, so not cutting edge for sure. I downloaded the regular desktop version, not the steam big picture console-ish version, and steam account was not required. I just closed the steam window until I was done with my setup. I haven’t seen any performance issues

This is amazing! I will definitely be making use of this

Expeditions are amazing, but I’ve only finished one because I’m usually out of the loop and start them way late. It would be amazing if they brought old ones back into rotation so people who are new or just missed them could earn the rewards eventually. I feel like they have enough now to make a pretty good rotation without feeling repetitive

Pork is red meat

You have the r and n flipped: userjourneys.ai

Definitely recommend playing or replaying old games. I’ve recently put hours into replaying Morrowind and Jedi Academy.

The main game I’ve been playing lately is Mount & Blade Warband from 2010. Got it for a couple $ and have been loving it. I missed it when it came out and recently a friend had been talking a lot about how much fun it used to be.

I have played a few newer AAA games that I uninstalled after a few hours. Sure there’s some great new games, especially from small publishers or indie devs, but there’s a lot more slop like you said.

Highly depends on local infrastructure. Unfortunately the most common city planning philosophy in the US (from what I have seen) is pedestrian hostile. And really it’s not great for driving either. It just sucks to go anywhere.

If it were easier to walk or bike to get food it would be different. Sometimes I don’t want to spend 30 minutes in a metal death box for a burrito. We cook most of our meals at home but occasional delivery is nice.

Nah, we’ll just SELECT * from both tables and loop through the arrays in JavaScript to associate the records.

But have you tried Outlook (NEW) and Teams (NEW)?? Microsoft made changes to deeply integrate copilot into them, while making the UI unintelligible and broken as well. It’s a much more authentic Windows experience

Love me some Plasma. I’m still running the default styles after over a year as well. It’s just nice.

I really should spend some time experimenting with customizations though

It’s beautiful <3

I do that too 😅 I’m getting better at avoiding the scary trigger words and getting them to agree with the principles
