"Pay no attention to the next console behind the curtain! Buy our stuff!"

Maybe it's just me, but I think entities that deliberately spread and use malware should be punished and held accountable. Too bad these entities help write the laws.

AMD recently launched their 9000 series CPUs. Most reviews showed lackluster performance. Except for Linux. Turns out it was a Windows problem that will be fixed with the next release. Initial tests show big gains depending on the game.

Microsoft is selling Windows as the gaming platform. It's just marketing. And it's crumbling just a little bit. I hope this will at least lead to parity with Linux.

Leider wird nicht auf Datenkraken wie LIDL Plus hingewiesen, die Profit mit mit den Daten der Kunden machen. LIDL ist da besonders schlimm, da bestimmte Angebote exklusiv für LIDL Plus Nutzer angeboten werden. Ein Trend den ich ganz schlimm finde.

Do you have pci-e slots?

I had to decide between a M.2 enclosure and a PCIe card. Since I plan to build a new system (with more M.2 slots) I will have more slots in the future. And maybe I will not like the M.2 enclosure and return it. wink

Then you’d better install it from scratch and have a clean, shiny and new system.

You know how it is, I just got my system right. Of course lots of settings can just be duplicated, but I would prefer not to set up some systemd services, cron jobs, etc. again.

Ugh. I kind of wish you would just go gracefully into the background Peter.

He passed gracefully 2 or 3 "games" ago. The quotation marks, because they were basically abandoned for a new gimmick, without delivering.

I've been using Plasma 6 and Wayland since Plasma 6 was stable. IMO, you shouldn't have any issues using Wayland in todays landscape.

It has gotten a LOT better, but there are still niche cases.

I have a TV hooked up via HDMI and can only output 4K30Hz on Wayland and my system starts chugging. With X11 I can do 60Hz no problem.

I will need to take a hard look if I will go for Nvidia or AMD when I build a new system in a few weeks/months.

A new PC upgrade is on my list after building a NAS and I have almost the same parts on my list, just as regular ATX. Maybe look for a good deal on a WD Black SN850X as a small upgrade over the Crucial NVME.

I will be going for the same cooler as well, since I don't see the value in an AIO solution for non high-end CPU. The downsides outweigh the superior cooling at that wattage IMO.

I love that I just download the app from the dedicated place, no pointless web surfing for the latest versions.

IMO this is a huge thing, Linux actually does a lot better than Windows. I know the Windows Store exists, but it is lacking in lots of ways.

It's not easy to find info like the sound of the switch/button with gaming mice.

Maybe the Razer Pro Click, Razer'e answer to the MX Master mice, could work for you.

That's encouraging, 3ven though these models are out of my price range.

I'm planning to build a new system pretty soon. With Intel 13 an 14th Gen woes, AMD CPU releases and upcoming (Septmber) AM5 Motherboards, my planning is in constant flux.
