  • When catching up with hardware performance for Linux gaming, I always browse phoronix, try to find a few comparisons from different years to see how the card looked like in comparison to other options. There might be some sleepers now no-one remembers about, that you magically have an option to buy. Think which game in the comparisons might have similar requirements to what you want to play and see how the card/cpu did on the settings you find agreeable/non-agreeable/perfect

    Don’t go into its forum, though. There be dragons

    Maybe recently it started to change with NVIDIA opening their drivers but for years we’ve been second class citizens for them. Personally I say “fuck NVIDIA”

    If you decide to go AMD, definitely explore the landscape of fan controllers. I use corectl but maybe you would prefer something else (this is Arch wiki, but should be fine for other distros too)



  • Thank you for sharing that

    But that ties you career to a stance. Which for sure often is a boon for many but not necessarily. The fact that one decides that something has to be spoken out does not mean that they for sure want to be from now on “locked” in politically involved jobs. I’m wondering if HR in some “just business” corp would not see such point in CV as a red flag, and if so if that would be majority, minority, 50/50?





  • I wonder if Bud Tucker in Double Trouble would still run. Probably would need dosbox

    Anyway, whole adventure genre. Syberias, Mysts, Gabriel Knight

    I’ve found Shadowrun trilogy fun

    Darkest Dungeon, Oxygen not Included, Surviving Mars
    Citizen Sleeper is short but well done, got me hooked to finish it in a single sitting
    Arcanum I still consider one of the best RPGs ever made
    Fallout 1&2

    I don’t know if Commandos style games would not require too fast clicking without a keyboard, but you could try out Shadow Tactics, it has active pause IIRC
    Speaking of Commandos, Jagged Alliance was fun too

    Most of distros use the same projects code-wise, some just add some patches or lag months behind. I mean, it doesn’t really matter, just do it. You’ll either be happy with anything or outgrow whatever you pick up now. And either sooner or later land using one that you will decide is absolutely the best, or just have vague preferences in the end
    But it’s the journey that does it, not a particular distro
