Honestly wasn't expecting them to use Hall Effect in the first place (have any consoles actually had those in recent years?) But let's be real, this is also the least of the switch 2's problems. Everything around this console is way too damn expensive. The only thing that's priced reasonably (imo atleast) is the actual console itself.
I'm not sure if they still are, but yeah i think they were made by sapphire as well. My vega was specifically a nitro+ though, so not a reference design.
Yeah openrgb is your best bet, but like others already pointed out it can be hit or miss. For example i used to have a sapphire nitro+ vega 64 and that thing never worked with openrgb in linux. They used a weird implementation that someone would have to reverse engineer in order to get it working, which to my knowledge never ended up happening. At the moment i'm using a reference rx 6950xt and it just worked straight away.
You'll have to give a source on that cause i can't find anything about those cards being cheaper. I looked up bravely default and it's a remaster of an old game, so it better not cost 90 bucks lmao. And the 90 price is coming from europe. Looks like the games will cost 90 euros in europe. Insanity.
I personally do like all the eye candy, especially animations and round borders, but sometimes i do enjoy using compositors without any of that just as a change of pace. I also really like river for example.
I haven't tried swaylock unfortunately, gtklock is the first wayland screenlocker i tried. Before that i think i was using i3lock-color on xorg, which also worked fine as far as i can remember, but the problem with xorg screenlocking is that it isn't actually very safe. Also, i'm not sure what distro you are using, but if it is a systemd distro there is probably a better way to trigger the screenlocker. I'm not sure if that script works in that case because it might be elogind specific. elogind is used on distros like artix and void because they don't use systemd. Elogind is basically just the logind part ripped out of systemd.
I recently finally configured my lockscreen again after switching to wayland. I'm using gtklock and so far it has been working really well. I'm using void linux with elogind installed, laptop suspends when closing the lid ootb. In order to trigger the lockscreen on suspend, i'm using a script placed in /etc/elogind/system-sleep, as described on the artix wiki
I like to imagine void linux is kinda like that one emo kid. No specific reason really, i guess void just sounds more edgy compared to other distro names.
It's very convenient for terminal based file managers. I use it to preview my wallpapers images and then i use a keybind to set it as the wallpaper for my window manager. I also recently started using rmpc, an mpd client that can display album art.
I like it mainly because of the image protocol and supporting both x11 and wayland. I still have alacritty installed as well because i like how damn fast it is. If alacritty had proper image support i'd probably only be using alacritty, but they are both great terminal emulators.
Not trying to argue with you or anything but i never really understood that sentiment. Don't you have the same amount of vertical space on an ultrawide?
I have both lol, dual ultrawide setup. My main monitor is a 1440p 165hz ultrawide, and i have a 1080p 75hz ultrawide mounted above it that used to be my main monitor before i upgraded. A decent amount of games support ultrawide from my experience, but for some reason mostly japanese games often times don't support it. Usually you can find guides to edit the exe to enable ultrawide support, but i haven't had much luck with that myself. I don't have an oled display or use hdr though, but from my understanding you might be able to make it work in games by using gamescope. For other types of content hdr isn't really there yet, but the good news is that the required wayland protocol recently got merged, so it should be a matter of time before it will eventually be working. I usually always have atleast 2 windows open on my desktop next to each other, and ultrawide is really great for that because it gives each window more width to work with, so you have lots of space.
I've been sticking with music players that can output directly through alsa. I settled on strawberry cause it can do that and also has other features that i care about baked in ootb. Deadbeef can also output directly through alsa and i liked it for the most part, but what i didn't like was that things like mpris support wasn't baked in, so i would have to mess with plugins. I don't know if there are any other players that can output directly through alsa, those are the only two that i could find so far.

Void? Alpine? Guix?
