Why does the USA have jurisdiction over what TSMC (a Taiwanese company, AFAIK) does with their manufacturing tools, even if they come from the US?

This is also super useful for people deciding what to buy, when the vendor would obviously not be keen to let you plug a USB into their device and boot into the scary Linux

Not a pro by any means, but I mount my internal drives at /mnt. Its also where I mount my NAS

AFAIK mount point doesn’t matter

I haven’t been able to use it. I’m on Endeavour with KDE and every time I try to log in with Wayland I get a black screen and a very laggy mouse. The programs I open have streaks of black through them and are also laggy Not sure if I have some weird stuff installed in the background, but I’ve had to go back to X11

Its missing the command to forward every screenshot to Microsoft

When you’ve clicked on the show and its showing you all the seasons/episodes you have, click on the settings (three dots) and select “Identify”

It’ll bring up a menu where you can input the name of the show, or its iMDb code, or a few other identifiers and it’ll show the matches it can find. From there you can select the correct show and it’ll populate the metadata accordingly

You can install Heroic Games launcher, which is an alternative Epic + GOG front-end (it also works on Windows and is apparently better than the real thing). You can use it to manage the compatibility layers similarly to Steam, but in my experience its function is on a game-by-game basis

As another commenter has said, go through ProtonDB and check all the games you can’t live without

I can’t. He wears it too well

Off-topic, but there’s a cat that lives nearby that has your name

Haven’t played Gostwire Tokyo, so I’m not sure exactly how it plays, but you might also enjoy the Witcher 3 and Middle-Earth Shadow of Mordor/War. They both have good combat systems and skill trees (although they work quite differently), as well as an open explorable world. I’ve played Shadow of Mordor (Steam version), so I know that works fine on Linux

Fuck it, give the students maps

Give the teacher maps

Everyone gets a map!

Not a whole lot of experience distro-hopping here (went from Ubuntu to Endeavour and haven’t really changed since) but from what I know it seems like most distros have their place. Arch is highly customisable and all rolling release distros are good for gamers and those who need the latest software. Debian, Ubuntu, Mint, and other LTS distros are good for servers and newcomers (fewer big updates and therefore fewer potential crises)

For the sake of answering the question, I’d say Ubuntu is my least favourite. Its pretty bloated, and then there’s the whole snap fiasco

Do you use a service for the relays, or is it possible to self-host?

Not an expert, but to me it sounds like the issue is that “on demand” uses the iGPU for regular desktop parts and calls for the dGPU when you switch to something requiring more horsepower

The problem with this might be that the execution of this is slow and there’s a few seconds between the iGPU switching off and the dGPU switching on

Lemuroid emulates most handhelds, and works pretty well in my experience (S9, to give an idea of performance)

The stutter fest from a late-game Phantom Lancer?

Sometimes my PC also starts annoyingly long shader caching as I’m trying to play a game. If you cancel the shader caching, does the game not launch?

Otherwise if you suspect the issue is with Proton,you could use an older version and see if that helps?

Endeavour is fairly easy to run and maintain, aside from not having a GUI package manager installed by default (I say this as someone who has been running it for about 2 years now, and still considers themselves a Linux noob)

One underrated feature is the Welcome tab, which also notifies you if there’s some critical error in the latest update so that you know to use caution and take certain steps when updating

Other than that, running yay or sudo pacman -Syu is most of the maintenance you’ll need to do

Off topic a bit, but how is the Nvidia + Wayland experience?

Are the horror stories true? Do you use multiple monitors?
