The problem is, that doesn't make sense for digital media. A large part of resales is media degradation. You pay less, but you take a risk upon yourself for it. Being able to refund a game that isn't for you seems fair, though.
This isn't a Windows thing, it's a firmware thing. It's HP's doing, and HP is well known for screwing with the usability of their devices. In my case, on my Victus, it's F10 that opens UEFI, but the menus are incredibly stripped down. Looking online, F10 seems to be the key to access it on your device, too. Maybe you just aren't getting the timing right, sometimes you gotta mash the absolute hell out of that button to get it to register. Once you do get it, setting a post delay will make it easier in the future.
Yeah, maybe. My experience has been a multitude of hangs and flash drive rewrites. At first, I thought my flash drive might be bad, so I tried another and quickly determined that the other one was actually bad before going back to the first. Eventually, I ended up just unplugging everything out of desperation and for some reason that worked.
I'm actually still working on this as I type this, currently waiting on partition changes because, while I read that 500MiB is recommended for Pop's boot partition, the installer has told me that it's too small...
Since I'm still dealing with this, and given the issues I had booting the live disk, there's a good chance this won't even be useable in the end. I've used Ubuntu before, and it boots fine, but fuck if I want to deal with snap.
Edit: Went up to 750MB (yeah, MB not MiB here, easier to think about later). Still says it's too small. Sure wish I had some detailed documentation to work with here, instead of just "use Clean Install" in the official docs and a single Reddit comment saying "500MiB is good." That would the bee's damned knees.
Edit 2: Works fine once installed. The live disk just would not boot with anything else plugged in for some reason.
That might just be the quickest way to make someone hate Linux forever. The glitchiest, most troublesome install I've ever tried to do. In the end, after two days of work just to get the damn live image to boot, the only reason I kept going was probably sunken cost falacy.
the PS5 has a pro controller where you can easily replace the sticks
You mean the controller that costs $200 while the normal one is still $70 with no way to deal with drift?
Any xbox controller will suffer the same stick-drift so long as they are using carbon pad analog sticks.
Except controllers made with better quality components won't start drifting anywhere near as fast. Late-model PS4 controllers could barely outlast their warranty because they were made so much cheaper. What fucking good is gyro aim when you have to spend $60-$70 every six months?
And ya know what? I'm not even gonna bother with the rest of your shit spewing because you're such a damned clown.
As someone who dropped consoles entirely because I got sick of getting burned by Sony...
K, pal.
I don't even own a XBox One, but my brother does, and you wanna know something? He hasn't had a problem with drifting once. I, on the other hand, have had two $60 controllers start drifting on me. My early model Switch's original joycons still work better.
That a real funny way of saying "long and continuing history of subpar hardware."
It's not like I'm talking about "Oopsy woopsy Walmart didn't have a PS5," I'm talking about continuous, shoddy, overpriced hardware. Users shouldn't have to question whether their $70 purchase will last the month.
This has been a trend for every console they put out since the PS2.
PS3? Less powerful and more expensive with poorly made controllers.
PS4? Power's fine, but controllers are way more expensive and even worse than before.
PS5? Fine on power, but still more expensive, and with supply chain issues that far exceeded anything faced by Microsoft or Nintendo, placing the issue most likely based in their, say it with me, hardware design.
Edit: ITT: Sony Stans who love the that New Vegas got cut down, that PS3 and PS4 controllers are paper mache, and that the PS5 enabled and enriched scalpers like never before. And people wonder why gaming hardware keeps getting worse.
The PS3 was underpowered, which limited the scope of some multi-platform games, and the controllers had this ridiculous design where the battery was connected by a ribbon cord held in place by foam that degrades, the PS4 controllers have major problems with drifting, and the PS5 has been nearly unattainable because of hardware component shortages that were notably specific to them.

Nah. It'll run another launcher for the purpose of running a game, but it's intent is the game, not the other launcher, and that's only where strictly necessary. It won't run the launcher for things like itch games, using Galaxy can be disabled for GoG (you don't even have to install it in the first place, actually), and there's a plugin that uses Legendary to totally replace EGS. Then, on top of that, it's also an emulator launcher and can launch manually-added games, no other launcher required.
