FWIW, I’ve got an i7-8700k with an RTX 3080. I initially had two major issues when I replaced Windows with Bazzite:

1. Steam doesn’t do great with libraries on NTFS partitions. Supposedly there are workarounds, but I couldn’t get them to work for me. I had to reformat a couple drives as ext4 (and do a bunch of file management in the process) before things would play nice.
2. I had my CPU overclocked to 4.8 GHz in Windows. BG3 kept crashing on me on Bazzite. Finally occurred to me to drop the overclock and I’ve played 40+ hours since, solid as a rock. Performance is comparable to Windows with OC. GPU temps are consistently better than Windows. Only thing I’m missing is HDR.

Bonus: GreenWithEnvy (for GPU fan curve) won’t run in a Wayland session yet, apparently, so I’ve been running under X11 instead.

Hope this helps. YMMV. Happy gaming, whatever OS you use!

I’m brand new to Fedora, having installed Bazzite myself just a few days ago. Did you happen to encounter an issue logging out of KDE? discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/…/119070

Glad you had a good experience. I guess people are never as simple as the boxes we try to cram them into, and fandoms can be both a blessing and a curse.

Tangent, but I had a generally positive opinion of John de Lancie based on his work in Trek and Days of Our Lives (I am so old) and various interviews I’d seen over the years until I saw Jenny Nicholson’s video about the last Bronycon. De Lancie had some involvement in a film about the Brony phenomenon and she was in a green room with him a few times. Apparently he was pretty rude and showed contempt for his fans. 🙁

Disclaimer: Not a Brony myself but Jenny Nicholson can make anything interesting.

Just had my yearly car maintenance at the local VW shop. They’ve started passing on the credit card processing fees to the customer. It’s only like 3 or 4%, but it made me use a debit card instead of a CC. Guess that’s where we’re at now.

I get the sense that a lot of commenters here never had an openmailbox dot org experience.

I’ve had this happen to me. I suspect it’s one sad MRA type with a pile of accounts bringing the downvotes. He can sense when I post anything remotely respectful of women because his pee pee hurts. 😆

I hear you, though I think this is less about education and more about getting folks to fork over $9.99 a month. Like so many others, I’ve a long frustrating relationship with Microsoft. They’re literally the largest company in world atm and they just keep laying off people. I don’t hate them quite as much as EA or Comcast, but it’s getting pretty close.

Holy cow. Thank you! Didn’t know that was there. ❤️

Oh dear. Thanks for the research. Also thanks to @downpunxx for raising the issue. I wasn’t aware of this.

I stopped enjoying the “change my mind” meme when I realized what a piece of shit Crowder is. I’ll put this one in the same bucket.

What a depressing movie. I didn’t like any of the TNG movies but that one’s the worst.

Do you mean he throws Jews down a well or do you mean he criticized Israel?

sgibson5150 , 2 months ago to showerthoughts in Using Ubuntu may give off hipster vibes to the average PC user, but within the Linux community its has the opposite effect.

Is using Linux a trend? Microsoft must be pissing themselves in fear atop their giant pile of money. 😄

It’s a poor poster who blames his tools so this was definitely autocorrect’s fault.

I caught it before I submitted the post but I figured you guys would better appreciate the low effort correction. 😆
