Pop_OS was the first distro I tried before coming to Bazzite. Cosmic sorta worked, but was overall worse... No flickering there, but eventually, a few minutes after logging in, the desktop would freeze. Completely unusable unfortunately. I think Bazzite is fedora based iirc? I don't know, this is my first attempt at anything beyond putting Ubuntu on old laptops.

I'm on KDE. It's quite an odd problem. If I keep them both set to refresh rates below their max, things work fine. However, if both monitors are set to their native refresh rates, the higher refresh rate one goes blank and the lower one starts flickering. If I disable the lower refresh rate monitor, I can set the higher one to it's max without issue though.

Essentially, when I'm booting into Bazzite, I need to either disable my second monitor or halve my refresh rate or it's unusable.

That I don't know, I only have two monitors and they're totally different sizes so I haven't looked into it, sorry!

Kbin, please come back to me

Did HL2 come with the account or did you just buy an empty pre-made Steam profile?

I set up a second SSD with Bazzite for dual booting, but it's not practical for me to use as a daily driver yet. I have a Nvidia GPU, and the drivers just aren't up to par with their Windows counterparts yet. I could tolerate not having HDR, but also not being able to use 2 monitors with different refresh rates at the same time is killing me.

There's an update in the works that should fix at least the multi-monitor problem, but still no HDR.

You bought someone else's Steam account because you didn't want to make your own? As a form of protest?

Someone pointed out in another thread that these things are too low to stay in orbit without upkeep from their thrusters, so even if a satellite dies, it will just burn up on its own.

Fair, bad choice of words on my part. What I was trying to say is that Starlink isn't a government owned asset, it's a commercial product. While it has the potential for defense applications, the government has no reason to pressure them to activate satellites faster than SpaceX want to.

There aren't any defense contractors involved in this, it's a commercial internet service from a for-profit company. They can take as long as they want to activate their satellites as long as they're still communicating with the ground, which they are.

The fact that they've been launching satellites for months? Here's a Starlink satellite that launched last week I guess. You can search for Starlink in the catalog there and see tons of others in orbit as well from launches just over the past few weeks.Wikipedia also graphs all the Falcon 9 launch outcomes and it looks like they haven't had a failure to deploy a satellite to orbit since 2016?

Can you back up the claim that these satellites are failing before they've even been turned on? That seems like something that would be covered pretty extensively.

What does "deployed" mean in this context, then?

Wild concept, that planning ahead thing is

Yeah not to defend Elon or anything, but this post seems pretty misleading now that I'm looking into it. It doesn't look like they're failing to deploy satellites at all. They're up there and communicating with the ground based on every tracking site I'm looking at (including the one linked in the post). I don't know why the new satellites aren't being added to the network as soon as they're launched, but these satellites aren't dead so it seems way more likely to be a logistical choice rather than literally every satellite launched in the last 3 months immediately failing.

Thankfully, these things are at least too low to stay in orbit indefinitely like that

I sure do love watching some BSF

Yeah that's quite the letdown. I've been hoping to upgrade my VR headset from a Quest 2 and I was looking forward to this so I could get away from Meta, but those features were a big part of the appeal of the PS VR2. I don't own a PS5, so buying a headset that should be able to do all these things but can't would kinda sting. It seems this was intended as more of a bonus for existing PS VR2 owners rather than an attempt to drive sales to PC-only players. I hope those features do make their way to PC eventually, because HDR on the OLED screen would make this an amazing PC VR headset and I really wanted that. I'm going to have to pass on this headset for now though.

I'm in the same boat as you, and I definitely prefer Kbin still. Has Ernest said much recently, though?

You got me there, it is really frustrating that I have to open Edge if I want to have two tabs open at the same time.

The best monster collecting game continues!
