  • Last time I tried to use Arch for gaming I ran into constant issues like what you describe. Almost like it wasn't using the correct graphics drivers for the games even though I could verify it was. I never could quite figure it out.

    If you're not against distro hopping, I suggest switching to Bazzite or Nobara. Plain old Fedora is usually fine too if you're not using an Nvidia GPU or don't mind futzing around with RPMFusion, but the extra utilities and tweaks provided in Nobara and Bazzite are really nice.

  • That driver tends to work decently, but the performance on windows can be a bit iffy, especially for games like Skyrim because of how the content archives work iirc.

    I also ran into a bug where one specific program (Aseprite) wouldn't save files correctly on winbtrfs and instead padded them with zeroes to a full 4KB or whatever, which didn't happen on any other filesystem.

    WinBTRFS is cool, but treat it as somewhat experimental just in case. Back your stuff up.

  • I'm so sad that he never went anywhere else with this himself, at least publically. Looks like there's at least one team in Norway trying to take this concept to market though, hopefully they're successful

  • I wouldn't call it a japanese accent, that's a bit different, but ルール is the loan word for rule, approximated with japanese syllabary of course. So it's ru-ru instead of rool. The r is also kinda rolled like a Spanish R, between and R and L sounds.

    A japanese accent tends to have awkward stress-accent as well as R and L sounding too similar if not identical, and some general phonemes just not sounding quite right since japanese doesn't have them (the ae sound for instance). Words that end in consonants can be tricky too, but japanese has a few in very casual speech (mostly by just leaving off the u in tsu) so that concept isn't so foreign.

  • Original wipeout? Phantom HD Edition.

    Wipeout Omega Collection for PS4 includes HD+Fury+2049 (all of the content from PS3 and Vita), and a lot of the PSP content had made its way into HD+Fury iirc.

    For everything else, your options are emulator or tracks/ships ported over to BallisticNG. IMO you can just play BallisticNG as is though, it's an amazing game.

  • Either that, or they use specific tools that they can't or won't replace and which don't work on Linux. Usually it's creative or engineering software. There are usually good, Linux compatible, open source alternatives, but they're not the same as industry standard tools that they need to know how to use and be 100% compatible with. Windows or MacOS is your only safe bet there.

    If you're a mere hobbyist and interested in learning new tools it's an entirely different answer. You can try out the windows versions of the alternative software first, then try switching to Linux down the line when see the greener grass.

  • Supposedly it's actually pretty decent if you just turn off all of the quest markers and whatnot in the settings. Turns it into more of an immersive story driven exploration game instead of an Ubisoft clear the map checkbox game.

  • Throw some silicone joystick protector rings on your sticks if you haven't. Makes the joystick almost completely silent even when I slam them against the shell, and as long as they're seated right and clean they'll still slide smoothly against the shell. Just make sure to run through the calibration script so you still have full joystick range after adding them

  • Unless their production costs are vastly cheaper for the old model, I give it maybe 6 months before they replace the 256 LCD sku with an OLED version. They probably know they wouldn't be able to keep up with releasing the entire lineup at once and want to get just a bit more use out of the existing lcd sku production line and supply chain (using up already purchased components and running out contracts) before they shutter it.
