And Linux will slowly turn into Windows.

Some distros maybe, but I’d say that instead we’d quickly have another golden era of malware.

All it takes is an App that you”trust” to break that trust

I get what you’re trying to say, but that’s something I’d classify as “compromised” as well.

Some sites like this one won’t link their RSS feeds directly anymore but still surfaces it through metadata in the HTML code, so just adding the regular URL of the blog to a proper RSS-Reader shoul just worked. Otherwise a browser extension that displays the embedded Feeds on the current page should work as well.

One thing that might really help would be Valve releasing an official version of SteamOS to the public. It would hopefully get us more handhelds running SteamOS natively and people switching their PCs, particularly if they can release it before the Win10 EOL date.

Sure, projects like Bazzite exist, but I don’t think those have enough reach beyond the people already running some form of Linux.

From my experience there’s this weird subset of people who don’t like newer Windows versions, which is fair enough, but instead of learning to modify those or learning Linux, they believe they can turn back time, which isn’t something you can just do when connecting it to the ever forward-marching internet.

Yup. I’ve never done anything besides installing NVIDIA drivers. Just switching the cable of the secondary monitor to the motherboard ports and it just worked. No reboot even, just making sure that adaptive sync is enabled in KDE or wherever.

VRR does not work if you have a NVIDIA card and more than one monitor enabled.

I recently learned that’s not entirely correct for Wayland. The critical thing is that VRR stops working if more than one enabled monitor is connected to the NVIDIA GPU. Meaning that if you connect only one display to the NVIDIA GPU and the other monitors to the integrated GPU it should just work.

I felt pretty stupid when I realized that I could’ve just switched a single cable and be using VRR way earlier. Didn’t even need a reboot to work. For reference, I’m using a NVIDIA GPU + AMD CPU with 1 G-Sync as my main monitor and one non-VRR as my secondary monitor.

Shout-out to the Dan Floyd and his PlayFrame channel, where he’s been doing a condensed playthrough of the game with just the MSQ, the interesting side-content, and highly cut segments of the interim gameplay. It’s only near the end of Shadowbringers right now, but it’s what got me into the game (as someone who was never into and mostly still isn’t into MMOs).

Great bundle, but seeing Penny and Arzette is a bit sad as they must’ve really bombed if they’re already in a bundle. That’s just 4 months from release to bundle.

Yup. I can get away with prepaid 1GB/month for 3€ because I’m almost always near Wi-Fi and don’t really need to use anything bandwidth when I’m not.

I also find it wild how some people will get an expensive contract that comes with a “free” phone, but then don’t switch to an equal but cheaper contract (without a “free” phone) when the contract term expires, or at the very least renew the term so they get a new phone.
