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 Aren't the Mint problems that it's a stable distro with outdated stuff?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

I'd be really impressed if anyone still gamed on ATI.

I'm not that guy but yes and Nvidia

Pineapple is a terrible topping on pizza because hot fruit is terrible on my tongue and in my tummy. Using a sauce concentrate thinned with pineapple juice or making the sauce with some pineapple juice mixed in gives you the good flavor without the terrible texture

I too welcome original content content

I was on reddit slightly before subreddits were added as functionality, so 16ish years, and lemmy to me just feels like that 2008ish reddit except most of the userbase is 40 instead of 18

I have no idea what turning the print monitor off means in either Windows or Linux, I use my Logitech wireless mouse on Linux by plugging in the USB receiver and never thinking about it again, I use my Xbox controller by hitting the Pair button and clicking the Bluetooth icon on my desktop

I see people servicing vending machines in public all the time, but the ones out in the city it happens at 2-5am. The ones in my building, it's roughly weekly at noon. Most of the ones I pass with any regularity don't have any IC functionality, but we still keep a Waon card around for when we're visiting nearby cities

Kei vehicles are exempt from most Japanese safety standards, because they're meant for city driving with max speeds of 40-60 kph and everyone driving them knows and acknowledges that you're just fucked if you get into an accident at speeds higher than that (and not doing great even at 40kph). It's an explicit trade of safety for lower cost

That's a bit harsh

You don't even need to read the article, just the summary already on lemmy

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

PL2 on a 14900T is 106W

Edit: I'm an idiot, T series is low power socketed, not mobile. 14900HX has a TDP of 55W but boosts short term to 157W, which is still pretty ridiculous

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 instant I read "Muncie" I was expecting to find out that everything I knew about it from The Hudsucker Proxy was false, so thank you for preserving my innocence

That's not likely to be the case much longer, at least in some brands. Toyota got approval to mass market sell steer by wire in the US last year, though I think they've only released one crossover with it

What aluminum cans are you getting that don't have a plastic lining?

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

My 3900X idles at 35 and hits 65 when it's 100% all cores. With a decent cooler modern AMD runs pretty chill
