5700xt. Oh yeah, I used to have that issue. It went away. Haven't had issues for years now. I'm on a rolling-release distro so always the latest kernel/mesa.

There is also Vagrant which lets you specify VM specs, but also lets you install software in the VMs automatically. It also works for other VM software then just Virtualbox.

You will unfortunately have to get rid of the lemmy.ee links since they are closing down very soon.

While true regarding open source vs closed course. The risks are quite large for patients. For example, a few years ago there was a company called Second Sight that made artificial eyes so blind people could partially see again. Then the company discontinued the product and now they are stuck with an unsupported surgically implanted device that they rely heavily on but can break any time. It's pretty risky to have something implanted if you don't know if the company will be around in a decade or so.

I recently bought the TUXEDO InfinityFlex 14 which is a 2-in-1 as you describe. Well, they call it a 3-in-1 because you can fold it in such a way that you can stand it on a table and watch movies on it which is a bit silly to call a 3-in-1.

Anyway! It works very well. TUXEDO OS is bascially Ubuntu but they put the latest KDE Plasma on it which has much improved tablet mode support compared to Plasma 5.27 that Kubuntu 24.04 comes with. I really like it. You can install it on non-TUXEDO laptops too like yours. I mainly use tablet mode to read books or browse websites in a more relaxed pose on the sofa.

There's a touch keyboard too which works well enough if you need to type a sentence here and there but for anything more than that you would revert to laptop mode.

This is definitely an older one, but I would like to add Cow & Chicken! Some of that stuff was pretty wild! Cow & Chicken

It seems impossible to log in right now. Emails with the verification code (valid for ten minutes) take many hours to arrive...

Matrix server is pretty complicated. You'll need a reverse proxy, SSL certificates, and preferably a database like Postgresql. Minecraft would be a lot easier.

Either way, a lot of it would involve the command-line anyway, so I would second the SSH suggestion. It's fairly easy to set up. When installing Ubuntu Server for example it asks you right away if you want to install one.

Good! I remember threatening to cancel my bank accounts last time they tried to charge me the NSF fee (which worked). I was fresh out of Europe and thought that was the most ludicrous thing. Payment couldn't go through, i.e. you literally did nothing and it cost $50 or whatever? That was over a decade ago and still mad about it. A shame it's still $10 but it's at least a manageable amount for most people.

I recently started playing Tanks of Freedom II because it was featured at yesterday's OnFOSS event. It's a fairly similar idea and fun too. Comes with a campaign as well as multiplayer. Open source too which is awesome!
