Yeah, I think that's definitely one of the roadblocks Lemmy is facing at the moment. Even though I deleted my Reddit account after the API nonsense, I'm absolutely still appending every DDG or Startpage search with "reddit." Especially with the flood of AI-generated garbage filling search results, it's the easiest way to get quick answers from (probably) real people.

However, that also relates to Reddit's other advantage, in that it actually has a decade and a half of content to be indexed in the first place. The magic of Reddit is that every question has been asked in every way at least 5 times over, Lemmy just doesn't have that history yet.

I love watching live service games fail, it never gets old.

The Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 had a massive impact on my taste in music.

Need for Speed was that series for me. Pendulum, Justice, The Qemists, Junkie XL, Hyper, Madeon, Feed Me, Nine Inch Nails, Celldweller, The Prodigy, The Chemical Brothers, Noisia, Haezer... Man NFS had some killer soundtracks.

Really good, but I did have to remove the screen protector as I was getting line jitter with it on.

Palm rejection is better than I expected but not as good as an iPad.

I've been using a Wacom Bamboo Ink Plus. Pressure sensitivity and stuff works out of the box, no additional drivers needed or anything.

Krita is excellent.

but sadly couldn't get into it because I found the races lacking... something...

Yeah, Auto Modellista is a beautiful looking game, but the AI is pretty bad and the driving physics (especially in the NA release) are not very good.

Oh hell yeah I've played almost all of both series.

Flatout 1 is alright, hasn't aged especially well. Suffers from being completely overshadowed by its sequel in every way.

Flatout 2/Ultimate Carnage is still my favorite Bugbear game, with Wreckfest being a close but firm second.

Flatout 3 is.

Flatout 4 is honestly not terrible, but still feels like a cheap imitation of the first 2 games.

Burnout 1 also suffers from sequel shadow.

Burnout 2 is a great arcade racer that no one talks about because...

Burnout 3 is quite possibly the best arcade racer ever made. Absolute masterpiece.

Burnout Revenge is somehow just as good. Whether I prefer this or 3 depends entirely on how much I enjoy traffic checking on that day. I posted Junkie XL - Today to the music community a few days ago because I was playing Revenge recently, what a soundtrack.

Still haven't played Dominator, should probably get around to that.

Burnout Paradise is also excellent in its own right, but I think going open world took away some of the charm that the previous games had. Tracks were so well designed in 3 and Revenge. Still love Paradise too, but 3 and Revenge are just absurdly good.

Fuck yeah. After Test Drive Solar Crown turned out to be live service garbage, I've been waiting for another racing game to look forward to. Hopefully the career mode has a bit more depth than Wreckfest 1.

Linux User Space is excellent. I also listen to Linux Unplugged, 2.5 Admins (not strictly Linux), and The Linux Experiment's patreon podcast.

This is just blank writable discs, movies and TV shows on bluray will continue to be produced... for now.

I live in hell (i.e., Arizona), can confirm.

I want to give ogre a hug

Yeah this was the issue for a lot of the 2-in-1s I looked at. Lenovo, Dell, even Microsoft have some cool options, but they're insanely expensive by the time you spec them to be comparable to the V3.

The 32gb ram model was $1000, on sale from the usual $1200

I was just pointing out the state of things on an up-to-date distro like Fedora as many times a newer kernel fixes stuff like this and no one bothers to update old reviews. I was already aware of the link you provided (it's literally pinned to the top of the blog post I linked in my main post), but it's irrelevant when I'm talking about the out-of-the-box experience. I only tried the input-remapper fix because someone pointed it out and I wanted to confirm that worked for me.

I didn't make this post to complain about issues or ask for solutions, I'm here looking for interesting ideas and questions about this super cool hardware. This thing's fucking awesome and I wanted to share.

I am super tempted to switch to KDE on this thing. KDE has always looked cool, but I'm too happy with Gnome on my main desktop to justify fully switching. This is seeming like a perfect opportunity for some variety...

You must be new to Linux as a whole.

lmao i am not

Just tried it, and yep, that solved that problem.

Can I get an unsweetened iced imperialism with lemon?
