Can someone recommend a distro that will be used exclusively for gaming?
I've not used Linux in like a decade and only know I dislike Ubuntu for reasons I can't remember (pretty sure it's apt fucking up my system related)
I'm between Mint, PopOS, and Bazzite.
It’s always framed as a Russia/China thing, but when you ask chatgpt about the president, Elon Musk or Israel, suddenly it has limited things to say, or even occasionally refuses to answer.
Last I checked, if you want to dual boot, you HAVE to install Windows first (or disconnect the linux drive before hand), otherwise it will mess with your boot partitions on all drives.
Windows is also prone to mess with boot partitions randomly long after the initial install, so be wary
Yep, this.
Net positive for Amazon and you don’t even need to give them any of your money. Still better than giving them your money on top of it though, I imagine
If you’re earning money from the aforementioned editing, you can justify the absolute best CPU money can buy, though a 10% cheaper 9950X will match it.
When it comes to gaming, it’s so far beyond any imaginable performance requirement, you legitimately might never need to buy another CPU again, and in this it is matched by the 17% cheaper 9800X3D.
If I were you, and assuming you make money from editing, I’d save the couple hundred bucks and get the 9950X (non3D) because there are very, VERY, limited real-world scenarios in which the 3D variant will outperform the non3D (gaming or otherwise)
It’s the opposite. People learning English as a second language are typically much better spellers. Only a native speaker would misspell extreme that way
I’m not trying to convince you either way, but can you point to the ‘political BS’ Proton guy said that made you flip? I use Proton and also veer hard left wherever politics are concerned, and I personally think the whole thing is way overblown. I may have missed something though, happy to hear otherwise, because in my understanding all he did was soft-endorse someone who identifies as republican at the moment
I wasn’t saying you can’t play them, just that you don’t own them. This is still true with DRM free games. GOG’s agreement is different to Steam’s in that you own your purchase
You don’t think you own every house with an unlocked front door, do you?
My issue with games journalism isn’t even with games journalism.
Games just suck now. Specifically the big budget ones that don’t need any more press than they already pay for.
There used to be a time when videogames were on track to be the next art form.
I’m not saying they can’t be, or even that they aren’t already, it’s just that the artistically barren and often morally bankrupt juggernaut games are sucking up all the funding and the exposure.
Games journalism has been reduced to “take a look at this game that isn’t complete trough slop” and the audience of gamers isn’t particularly receptive to that message. I wish there was more room for analysis and/or discussion, but it’s getting less sustainable every day.
I can’t remember the last time there was a well funded and appropriately successful game that had artistic intent any sort of intentionality (before BG3)
Seeing this exact sentiment is so depressing. So many otherwise intelligent people just believe billionaires' words despite their actions. Like, it shouldn't be surprising that the most egocentric, greediest, and sociopathic beings on the planet are "bending the knee" and "keeping mum" whenever it benefits them personally, and yet...
