  • But also one of the worst options in terms of privacy.

  • Who wouldn't want to supervise themselves?

  • To clarify: native Linux support means the game ships with Linux binaries. For non-native games (Windows only) you use Proton. (For some games the Windows version with Proton actually works better than the Linux native version)

    The setting you are referring to enables Proton for all games, instead of the selection of games that have a predefined Proton version which has been tested by Valve.

  • I'd prefer plain Arch over Arch-based since the latter will exclude you from receiving any support from Arch forums.

  • I'm not trying to say nuclear is the definitive solution, but it's certainly a step in the right direction. Progress is progress, we don't have to find the final solution in one go.

  • It's a shame we aren't seemingly taking them into consideration in the whole energy transition crisis we are in.

    But rather let's just keep sending people into hazardous coal mines while ignoring nuclear energy until the solution to all our problems magically comes to us.

  • This indeed. To OP: if you use LXC containers using templates that Proxmox provides, they are headless by default. A Gui is a waste of resources.

  • Factorio is a pretty demanding game as long as you play long enough

  • This is actually everyone's complaint about the game. It's frustrating because the game has a lot of potential otherwise.

  • I would rather use an AMD graphics card over Nvidia on Linux, because of Nvidia's attitude towards Linux. Other than that there's not much to say I think, it's usually the tiny details that are missing from product pages that can make an impact. There's no mention of which wireless networking chip it uses for example.

    That being said. Chances are really low you'll run into any hardware that doesn't work immediately without any drivers and if you do manage to run into issues, there are often workarounds. I've installed Linux on many devices, mostly laptops, and I've never had real problems.

  • I don't agree with you and this is pretty much frowned upon at the company I work at. As long as you follow good design principles, minor changes to features would trickle down without much issue. Sometimes things indeed break but they shouldn't be too hard to solve. It's not a good habit to keep adding, changing and removing bits to the same area with new features as if you are carving a statue; the history will become unmanageable at some point. Especially in a professional setting where someone else might need to work on your design it would make sense to have a logical build up of your model. For a hobbyist this doesn't matter that much and I can see how your argument for preserving history makes sense to you.

    But an example of my frustration: With most CAD programs, sketches are usually put on faces and if you make a change elsewhere, the sketch will still be attached to that same face. With FreeCad, sketches seem to be assigned to a face number. This means that if you make a change earlier in the model that adds or removes a different face, your sketch will no longer be attached to the same face it was before because it has a different identifier. At least that's my experience, but maybe I was doing wrong. It's certainly not as I expected it to work.

  • I really don't understand FreeCAD. I have used SolidWorks, Inventor, Fusion360 and OnShape for personal use and we use Siemens NX at work. I'm not an expert at any of them, but I get the job done. My colleagues and I often joke how unwieldy, slow and difficult NX is, but it's nothing compared to FreeCAD. It's just so different and unintuitive.

    Even when applying good design practices when creating your models, everything will collapse into a giant mess once you try and change/remove an earlier feature. Or possibly I am taking a wrong approach since it's so different.

    The FreeCAD devs know this, and criticisms about how it's so different from other CAD programs isn't allowed on their forums (I understand their reasoning for this rule though). I really just don't understand why the devs of the only free open source CAD program feel the need to do everything so different than anything else that's out there. It's not even like they need to find their niche to fill, it would be wildly more popular if it was more in line with commercial CAD programs.

    I can't remember ever reading about someone liking the program but I often read people struggling with and complaining about it.

  • Hopefully a better UI for Oblivion, with the included ability to actually remove spells.

  • We have come full circle. Hurray?

  • That's quite a lot of nozzles.

  • You should check because this is probably against the rules of the private tracker. They usually want you to create a new .torrent for uploading to a publing tracker.

  • The fact that the Pro (or any device) supports a newer USB protocol doesn't necessarily mean that it will be able to take advantage of the full speed. It might just be as slow as the non Pro with USB 2.0.

  • That app already exists and is called Tapatalk. I think almost every forum I've visited in the last decade has a banner on mobile that suggests using Tapatalk.

    It's not very good though it seems.

  • Well at the point where the ambulance got blocked it obviously wasn't fatal yet.
