From what I can see, the GNU Compiler Collection supports this flag, so you can still build it with 100% free software.

Basically, it’s just behavior that doesn’t align with the C standard, but was introduced by MS. Then, GCC added a compiler flag which makes it behave like that, so that you can build code that requires that behavior.

It doesn’t seem to actually be dependent on MS, rather it’s named after them because it emulates the way their compiler works. I hope no Linux maintainers would entertain the idea of making it dependent on a non-free compiler.

I would love if my laptop had a numpad lol. The only downside is if it crowds the keyboard to be smaller than my hands.

Unfortunately they also soldered half the RAM to the motherboard, meaning you can only upgrade half. My favorite feature is that the chassis screws are made of microwaved butter, so one of them has stripped. I upgraded the RAM to 24GB yesterday, and had to open the back at a slight angle and squeeze in there… couldn’t disconnect the battery or anything. At least I can load up more KSP mods now!

Interesting that your Asus device has audio issues. my laptop is the Zephyrus G15 I think? (I know it’s GA503QR) and audio is fine out of the box. definitely a great space heater too though, the power supply is 200 W, and I usually run Cyberpunk at reduced graphics settings to cut down on heat and fan noise. It will legit heat up a small room

Performance wise, I actually did a benchmark in Cyberpunk 2077 on Windows vs. Bazzite on my laptop (Nvidia graphics card) and came out a bit ahead with Bazzite for most settings. Windows framerates were all over the place.

It may not be windows, but I’m still very happy with it overall. I’m willing to turn off my laptop completely to save battery because of broken sleep, and the nice thing is it boots faster than Windows for me!

My annoyance has been RAM - Bazzite is configured to use zram for swap, meaning it compresses part of your RAM to save space. That’s great since it’s a lot faster than swap to disk, but I’ve been running out of memory with Kerbal Space Program and my many mods. I’ve got 16 GB of memory installed, but without a swap partition/file it just kills the game when it uses too much.

I am ordering a larger stick, but I would personally prefer a slowdown (from getting stuff from disk) to a crash.

I’m sure there’s power saving Bluetooth weirdness. I was on Ubuntu, and my laptop would boot half the time with no BT card recognized. I had to hold down the power button for 15 sec or something to reset it. Since switching to Bazzite I haven’t had as many issues. Maybe it just comes with the driver or something? I don’t know, since I don’t care that much until it breaks…

Yep. My pan gets hand washing with a few drops of soap after every use and it’s fine.

Lye, or sodium hydroxide, strips the seasoning layers. It used to be used in soap. People use it when restoring cast iron in the modern day to strip old seasoning off. Then they can start againt and re-seaaon!
