I personally combine lower end NAS boxes with 4x4 mini PC's. I like the separation of concerns, as well as the tiny footprint.

Cyberpunk had some really strong characters/acting/writing. I'm finding it hard to get excited by other games lately because they just don't measure up the same.

Honestly, I enjoy the humorous colour names.

Not sure that transmission supports it, but other torrent clients (qbitorrent, deluge) allow binding the torrent client to your VPN interface. That way, you literally can't torrent on anything but your VPN connection (even if a killswitch fails/the VPN isn't running)

1% lows below 30 is what I call unplayable. Consistent 30 is my absolute minimum.

That's fine for you to feel that way. I'm just saying that Tears of the Kingdom was Exceptionally well received, despite it running around 30fps with huge dips in performance during some gameplay. It is evident that some gamers (perhaps console/mobile gamers more so) are less sensitive to lower frame rates and dips in performance.

In fact, 1% lows below 30 would disqualify almost any other game from even being rated playable by valve. But having cyberpunk run on the steam deck when it doesn’t run on a PS4 is a good sales pitch, so it’s clear why they verified it.

Their verification page seems to show what they are looking for. I don't think mediocre frame rates stop a game from being verified.

Average FPS in the benchmarks I'm looking at seem to be 30-35, with 1% lows around 25. Sounds pretty standard for many console games. Especially handheld (switch Zelda games run at 30fps with huge dips, no?)

Most people want stability (low change) for servers. Arch is typically run where plentiful software updates are welcome. It's not that you can't/shouldn't use Arch for servers, but it isn't the most conventional suggestion.

...so?

MySQL (and by extension, MariaDB) has an even better option:

mysql --i-am-a-dummy

Arch, Fedora, and Debian. Think I'm going to start phasing out Fedora though.

How are you installing your Nvidia drivers? Are all of your packages from stable?

Without an explanation, this comment looks more stupid. Why is their example bad?

Not particularly interested in Studio One, but I really hope this trend of production companies supporting Linux continues. Would love for NI to follow suit one day (at least with Native Access)

He literally explained why he doesn't use Firefox.

I respect the fuck out of Brolund. He was giving press conferences between firefighting shifts, while also himself being evacuated.

Not sure how this thing will compete when there are mini PC's like the Beelink SER7 out there.

Can you explain what "breaks" you are experiencing?

I'm running Fedora/KDE/Wayland on two machines here, and the only oddity I get regularly is on my system with one monitor in landscape and one in portrait. Sometimes half of the landscape screen seems to be funky until I turn the portrait monitor off and on again (almost like it is trying to put the two displays on one for some reason). Most everything else has been flawless.

The different repos and bad reputation was my point 😉

If you didn't want to try Arch due to instability, Manjaro is a funny choice. I was mostly kidding, anyhow.

I’ve previously been against trying Arch due to instability issues such as the recent GRUB thing.

But you used Manjaro? 😂

Go for it. If you use archinstall, it is incredibly simple to get up and running. The difficulty around Arch is quite overblown except perhaps when talking about people brand new to Linux. Even without archinstall, you are just following a guide in the wiki.

What an attitude you have. He made a suggestion, and wasn't gatekeeping anything.

There exists VanillaOS btw.
