North Hollywood shoot out mostly.

The Americans decided they needed them and of course we were not far behind for reasons.

Is it just my hardware?

It is not your hardware

Am i using linux just wrongly for years?

Not really

Is it my fault?

Not really

The main issue from what I can tell is you are trying to play older windows games which can be pretty hit or miss. More recent pc games often support the steam deck which is usually a good sign for compatibility.

Gaming on Linux has greatly improved over the last couple years (especially thanks to proton/steam deck) but if you are trying to run older games that were never designed to run to it or you want to play online games with aggressive anti-cheat it is still going to be a bit of a struggle.

I would recommend sticking to an Arch based distro like EndeavourOS (as it is similar to the SteamOS) or a Debain based distro and not swap around too much so you can get a feel for it without having a bunch of things change on you all the time like package names and the like.

All that said if your jam is older windows games and you have access to windows and are tired of messing with the OS and just want to play games just use windows, try linux another day.

Some games are trickier than others for sure. Are you using protondb as a reference?

Anno 1404 is a 15 year old game with aggressive DRM so I could tell right away that it would be one of the more tricky titles.

It really comes down to if you are trying to use newer hardware or not. Debian based systems usually run fine out of the box on older systems.

For newer hardware your going to want new drivers and kernel versions which you get with a rolling release distro.

He didn't want it the first time, now he doesn't want to go to jail

I'm sure one of his progeny will take up the grift

They are definitely AB testing things like rejecting ad blockers.

It's time to move on, all the cool kids are driving wind stars now

Over the network can be hit or miss but the usb cable and the drivers from the AUR have yet to fail me

AWS can scale quite a bit but they don't do it for free.

Given all the cuts I'm doubtful they're willing to pay the price

They probably just cut server costs to the bone to save money and they can't handle the load. Since their live streaming probably never gets traffic otherwise.

I've been trying fin Droid which works well but it's definitely a work in progress.

I mean lower inflation is not deflation. The rate of change is just smaller than it was.

I have never seen a product with a "new look" that actually got bigger. In fact I often see them do a fun little transition where for a bit they are branded as "having 25 percent more" in the new size which is just the same as the old one.

The CBC really needs to work on its technical commentary.

I feel like it was much stronger in the early 2000s and 2010s but I also suspect that was because they broadcast fewer events. Now with streaming they need more commentators and the field isn't that deep in a lot of the summer sports.

Nah if you've watched a relative age you can watch the decline happen.

Sure some people over 70 are still quite sharp but they are definitely the exception.

I would argue even 60 is too old. Fortunately I'm in Canada and our leaders are pretty young all around.

Yeah he is basically just JAQing off.

That's just his "I'm just asking questions..."

If veterans are voting for Trump then what he says about them must be true
