I agree with the other guy, I’ve done 3 playthroughs of that game on openSUSE tumbleweed with a GTX 1080.
My experience is don’t try and run most games linux native, run them through proton in steam. Far more consistently out of the box working. If you run into any trouble, ProtonDB will have the fix posted 90% of the time
I personally find games to be more glitchy on Wayland, so if you’re picking a compositor and want stability I’d say go X11.

Out of curiosity, which games? Was steam flatpak or from repo?

I don’t know, it sure seems like there’s an idea this poster has passed on to all of us…

To anyone who hasnt: do it! I did it a year ago and the only things you cant do are games with kernel level anticheat, but pretty much any of those games arent worth playing in my opinion anyways.

I use Kagi’s “Fediverse Search” lens and I’ve found it to work quite well for finding posts that I sort of remember and want to find again

Thankfully sewage is not very hot once it is down in the pipes so they don’t leech out the gross stuff.
- Comment on I'll get right on that 4 months ago:
Yes, you’re correct, customer. The more likely answer is not that I am telling the truth, it is that I get off on being willfully obstinate and making up for problems. I’m out to get you.

We must be buying different USB-C cables, then. I’ve been using anker ones for years and havent had a single break like that, and I’m definitely not gentle with mine.
- Comment on Absolutely deranged 5 months ago:
All I know is no matter how careful I was, it would end up not connecting unless it was held at exactly the right angle. I’ve yet to have a single USB-C connector have the issue

I’m personally a fan of the podcast 5-4 if you’d like some leftist legal perspective regarding the supreme court. They’re the ones who originally put him on my radar

I mean, I haven’t done an exhaustive look into his jurisprudence, but from the opinions I have read yeah. He’s always been federalist society wackjob to the core.

They had some actually fun mechanics in Odyssey and then they drove every single one of them off a cliff in Valhalla. We’ll see what they do, I suppose

Yes, I’ve always thought of bacteriophages as giant death robots of the virus world

You’re right. Since they don’t have every book ever written, why bother even looking?

Oh shit you right. That is weird. You’re saying you’ve seen it elsewhere in memes? We must have a conspiracy on our hands

This video by CGP Grey goes into it a bit more, but split brain patients have even had their two halves disagree. For example the conscious hand picking out something to wear then the other hand batting it away and picking something else. It’s quite fascinating to read about.

Maybe pig butchering scams? John Oliver did a piece on them recently that was pretty enlightening, but this wiki summarizes it okay: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pig_butchering_scam
- Comment on My phone is just one big shitpost 7 months ago:
The best thing I’ve ever done was get a phone plan with call control. Basically before my phone even rings the person on the end gets prompted with a random number they have to press on their phone to connect. My number of spam calls has gone from several a day to two total calls in the last month.

I don’t mean to be insensitive but what’s keeping you at a job that hasn’t given you a raise in 9 years? I would have been polishing up my resume after year 2s review with nothing to show for it

They probably just have a deal with the financing provider to show that on all products as a payment option.
