That which is dead can never die
I see! Thank you for the explanation, I’m still very new as this is my first Linux and I did no planning or intentional research before swapping over, I just got mad at Windows and was formatting my main dive 15 minutes later. I avoided Mint specifically because I’d seen lemmy threads saying it was using old packages on purpose for stability reasons, and that for actual gaming I’d want rolling release?
I don’t know the difference between Wayland and X11, all I know is that they’re options, and I’m 30 days into the Arch-derived(is that the right term?) Garuda Linux that defaults Wayland with a 3080 and I haven’t had any problems? Aren’t the Mint problems that it’s a stable distro with outdated stuff?
A month ago as of tomorrow I got fed up with Windows and googled “gaming Linux”, picked Garuda because it was near the top result and I like the FFXIV Garuda, was wiping my Windows drive within fifteen minutes of deciding I was done, and have been gaming with my 3080 since. Haven’t touched X11 because Garuda defaults to Wayland and I don’t even know the difference between them, and so far everything has just worked
There’s generally one or two slots connected directly to the CPU running in x16 or x8 if there’s two and both are connected, 4 lanes linking the CPU to the chipset, and the rest of the slots connect to the chipset and share that same x4 link. If your cpu has 24 lanes (Ryzen do/did a few years ago, Intel might but didn’t a few years ago), the remaining 4 lanes usually go to an NVMe slot
Aren’t those the distros? Which one pulls packages using torrent
Do you have an example? Or is there a distro that does this by default? I’m pretty new to Linux and have never heard of it before
The only known way to get it working is an android emulator with a modified apk and only software rendering. Roblox went severely out of the way to shut down Linux gaming, able to detect wine and proton and crash itself if they’re detected
Apologies if that sounded like an admonishment of you lol, 2015 definitely seems like 20 years ago and I’d probably just say 10 at this point too
Pi-hole first commit June 8, 2014 (first public release June 2015) and Pi 2 released in February 2015, so not quite 10 years on either
Windows 10 definitely has but they don’t come back once you delete them, which is garbage but less garbage
For recipe tracking and “what to buy” I’ve actually had good success with https://grocy.info/
Has really cut down on buying things to use only to get home and find out I already had half of it and forgot
My desktop has a wireless card in an m.2 slot (as do those of my wife and both children), one of my laptops has a SATA m.2 as its only drive because it only has a SATA m.2 slot, another laptop has a SATA m.2 as the scratch drive because it has one NVMe and one SATA, and “the only things you plug into an m.2 slot right now are nvme drives” is such a wild take that I’m baffled as to where it came from
Just as an uninvolved third party, I’m trying to figure out how NVMe entered this response to a question about a SATA to SATA form factor converter
It’s definitely only some. ASRock motherboards almost always allow headless boot, MSI almost never do iirc, Gigabyte and Asus are really model specific
Thanks, that was really necessary and greatly added to the conversation.
