  • Ah then that's not the issue then. Weird that the qbittorrent interface bind isn't working for you. Maybe try Wireguard instead? Def set IPv6 to link local and add ::/0 to allowed IPs on the Wireguard profile.

  • It's just as slow. I have a laptop with a Radeon 680M and I regularly have to wait for Vulkan shaders to be compiled. Most recent game I ran into this issue with was For Honor. Took about half an hour to get into the game.

  • Just make sure to either set the Wireguard profile's IPv6 to Link-Local or disable IPv6 on your network connection, otherwise you'll leak data and DNS entries over it. The reason is because Proton's wireguard implementation does not support ipv6 yet.

  • I am seeing 90% usage as well. For CPU, I've been noticing that there's one or two cores that get slammed to 100, so I am thinking its a CPU bottleneck. Makes sense considering that in some areas, lowering render resolution doesn't do anything.

  • changing settings in Network Manager.

    What's wrong with this method? I feel like this is the main one and it works well for me. Even if you were using systemd-resolved, I believe it still works.

  • They excel at battery life, sure, but also at heat and power efficiency — things that are really fucking important to a good laptop. Show me another fabless laptop that can transcode 4K video

    Power efficiency is battery life. Battery tech hasn't changed that much. And literally any laptop with a decent GPU these days can transcode 4k video without breaking a sweat. This is not new.

    but the existing Mac user base seems to be upgrading less frequently, which says to me that something else has changed. Now what’s a big change that’s taken place in the Mac line in recent years? I’ll give you a hint: it’s not the pricing.

    Yes, something has changed. The economy. People may have been able to afford $3-4k laptops a few years ago, but not now that food, gas, cost of basic goods has gone way up. The pricing may not have changed, but they're now priced outside of what most people would be willing to pay when they have to spend so much on more important things.

    I just don't believe that a majority of the Apple community will stop upgrading if they see a more powerful M3. There's still a lot of situations where the existing Apple Silicon line falls short, particularly in gaming and 3D graphics. Those who can afford it will upgrade. We've seen Apple users upgrade for less if you look at how many people used to clamor for the latest iPhone.

    Apple Silicon isn't the end all, be all of laptop technologies that's going to make people satisfied forever. That's not how the tech market works, especially not for Apple users. The only thing that's different is the economy.

  • Why is everyone making this a price thing? The way I see it, this is because Apple Silicon is so damn good....I’m not going to need another machine until this thing stops working.

    Saying that the market has reached a saturation point for Apple Silicon Macbooks is kinda silly. Apple Silicon is good, but it isn't some miracle tech that defies market dynamics. The only area that Apple Silicon really excels at compared to the competition is battery life, but there's a lot of other laptops that already beat it in terms of CPU and GPU performance.

    There's still room for Apple to grow, especially since they're focusing on gaming now. The fact that Mac demand is falling in light of this indicates that there's more at play than just everyone being content with their current Macs. Even if that was the case, why wouldn't something so good be attracting new customers? Apple's userbase is still a tiny fraction compared to Windows. If Apple Silicon is so good, why aren't people flocking over in droves, especially since Windows literally has no answer to Apple Silicon?

    Price is a huge motivating factor, especially since the economy's going to shit.

  • Endeavour definitely has more up to date packages since it's using the Arch repos, but Fedora packages tend to be pretty up to date due to their quick release cycle.

    I think it depends on the technical skill of the user. You already know things like Wayland and the concept of packages so Endeavour might not be a bad choice, but for really new users, I would still recommend Fedora. I am a diehard Arch user, but I am definitely cognizant of the fact that I am expected to know how to fix things when they break slightly due to package updates. I wouldn't say that these tasks are something I'd put onto a new user.

  • Others are chiming in on how to debug the issue where your Linux bootloader isn't picking up Windows, but if you really need to access Windows for your work, you can try going into the BIOS and changing the boot order to launch from your Windows EFI partition. That usually still works even after installing Linux as its a separate EFI binary.
