I can hear the sand crunching.

Work is one thing. I’m fine with it for work. Work is my company’s data, not mine.

At home tho? Fuck that shit.

Pop!_os for life at home.

Full transparency, I’m not arguing against full remote - I 100% support it. I’ve done it and it doesn’t work for me - I like being in the office a few days a week, but full onsite for desk jobs is asinine.

I did read it and my opinion stays the same.

To be in 5 days a week is nonsense.

A hybrid schedule would allow for the same collaboration and innovation. 3 days and office and 2 at home. Everyone wins.

Guess I won’t be buying the CMF Phone after all.

Holy shit dude - it was that simple. Proton experimental and it works like a fucking charm. Thank you!

I should add i did install Against the Storm - but that was on Epic and I installed in on my SSD drive… and now that I am thinking about it both Cyber and Baldur are on my HDD since i have more room there… I wonder if that is it.

Funny I’m the opposite - I have to use Windows bullshit all day long at work. The last thing I want at home is to deal with it there - pop_os is stable and works perfect for me.

I just download all the extra ram and gigabits I need from ads I see on Fox news dotcom, works fjn efnor meerrreerrttynygnngnhnhm fklsbfnlltkkfovfñngjkkkjdjjffjjjnnvnvnvnggnnggnngn ff f f f f. F f. F f f f f f f f f f. G g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g

Hahaha - update on issue, it was my switch, but not the switch, I think WHEN I used the the switch (like toggling between my other machine) it made things mad until I rebooted. Then when I rebooted it was fine until I used the switch again. So I just changed the things I used on the switch and everything is kosher now.

Okay it’s actually fixed now. Games are running smoothly and shaders are loading better. It must have been a funky driver.

Follow up - issue came back. I’m thinking it may be hardware or driver at this point. I am going to mess with that this evening and I will report back.

If that doesn’t work - I will do the os refresh bc I haven’t actually done that yet.

Edit: this is more of a log for myself at this point, but I am refreshing the os now.

edit two, the editing: refresh complete. will update tomrrow.

I think I actually fixed it?

i tried to do an os refresh but kept getting some generic error bc the backup partition wouldnt update?

after a bunch of fumbling around I actually slowed down and took a second to read the errors and saw an error for a game i had removed.

so after ducking around (intentional duckduckgo pun) i found the sudo apt purge command and zapped it

then i followed https://support.system76.com/articles/upgrade-pop/ and some things happened and downloaded and i rebooted

and its working now? I will know for sure if its working if doesn’t start happening again in an hour.

but i think it might be good to go based on that experience.

Edit: continues to work. Might be solid. Will report back tomorrow.

So I turned off fractional scaling (i did that before as well and nothing changed) and ran more updates and then shut down and rebooted- issue seems to be stopped for the moment.

if it comes back, I will create an update post. Thanks!

edit - it did come back but see response below.

I’m going to attempt an os refresh and see if that does anything.

Will report back.

I struggle with it, but still manage to find fun in what blizzard made. I understand that blizz is not what blizz was. I gave up hearthstone. But still enjoy d2 and d3 and I’m hoping the changes they made to d4 will be good. I played wow 20 years ago, coming back now feels like a new game and it does manage to spark nostalgia in me. I hear what you are saying, but I’m not quite done with blizz yet… Looking at you POE2.

I thank you so much. I will try this in a bit and report back

I just want everything in one spot. Personal preference. :)

I use Linux but I’m an idiot.

What does %command% mean / do?

What was the actual line you used in terminal to install battle.net to steam bc I’d rather not use lutris if I don’t need too
