Right, that's their point. Chocolate chip cookies can be made to be chewy when cold instead of crunchy, in which case they're still much better than crunchy chocolate chip cookies.

Fuck

Yeah, it's really all just cost savings. On their overpriced "luxury" cars

They're usable as adapters and for 2D stuff, but performance is significantly worse for 3D due to being stuck at the minimum clock speed

It fixes issues with games. If the game has no issues with regular Proton then the answer is generally "no".

In fact, with regular Proton you're much more likely to have pre-compiled shaders available for your system through Steam, which should improve performance by reducing stuttering.

I tried out the Deep Research feature for it today using my work account. It worked pretty well, not perfectly, but well enough. I chatted with it after it completed its report and it was able to hold the research and the report itself in context to answer my follow-up questions quite comprehensively.

Got that AMD fine wine technology

I agree with your overall point, as a long time Linux, Windows and Mac poweruser who has shepherded many into a new OS in the past. People who don't like to explore new/different technologies as a hobby get quite comfortable with whatever they're used to and the way that it works and then quickly lose empathy for those that are earlier in their journeys.

Just to clarify on the Linus Pop!_OS thing, he didn't read the prompt that said he was about to uninstall his desktop environment and then typed in "yes I understand this can break my system" or something like that, which had been added as a prompt to keep people from not reading the warning. Anyways people got mad that he did that because he literally ignored the warning and the meaning of the words he had to type that had been added to idiot proof the thing.

ProtonDB is probably a better choice these days for finding tbe compatibility of games specifically.

I'd say Linux (the kernel) is the motor/engine and Mint (the distro) is the chassis. The chassis defines the shape of the vehicle and its size class, for instance.

Books at book stores don’t generally have graphic violence and gore.

...seriously? Go read The Boys or Chainsaw Man or Gantz

The one I've had the longest is 4 years old. So far so good. They have lower heat output than they otherwise would due to lower friction. Other than that they're quite ordinary drives in terms of use.

I buy 14TB enterprise helium-filled HDDs off serverpartdeals for like $140 a pop. 4TB for $100 is a bad deal

He does. He required their charging port to be where they are due to the layout of his garage at the time when they designed the Model S

Same. I'm excellent at like 4 things, everything else is just "yeah I got halfway not terrible and moved on"

You can copy Spotify playlists to other services

I’ve seen some folks complain about its size, but it’s like 8 or 9gb. Small price to pay if you ask me for how turnkey it is. Besides storage is cheap now.

Especially when you consider Windows is like 20-30GB

Meh, I've found that Heroic works just fine for most offline installers. YMMV of course.

It was a distraction

I have the Retrofighters BattlerGC Pro, this is the Playstation layout equivalent:

Hall effect sticks, Bluetooth support, 2.4ghz dongle, excellent buttons. The BattlerGC Pro is the best controller I've ever owned. If this Playstation style controller is even close to as good you won't be disappointed.

Edit: they also have this mini controller, and this one is currently available, whereas that more deluxe one is a pre-order shipping in January.
