Like, past 150c or something? Sure, I could see that possibly mattering, but not 40.

[hot bobcat]

can i make a macos vm in qemu on windows and is there a guied for it

[agile lake]

could be different though, demos might be first revision

either way, you're probably right :p

[stoic beacon]

Watching my friend buy a PS5 to get through his Steam backlog and not seeming to realize that he is going to be spending almost $2,500 on games is...painful

[twin raptor]

Remove the pain... steal his ps5

[stoic beacon]

Told him to build a $2,000 living room PC, but the $400 price tag + $2,500 in games seems to make more sense to him I guess

[twin raptor]

Smh

[stoic beacon]

I don't want a PS5...I don't own any games on it lol

[twin raptor]

But then u could spend 2500 instead

[stoic beacon]

My backlog is not quite that big

[twin raptor]

Mines like 50 lol

[stoic beacon]

Mine was larger, but I started going through some of the indie games on the steam deck

I was hoping to finish the Witcher and Elden Ring using it, but it can't run them anywhere near what I was expecting

[twin raptor]

Ah. What do you think of the steam deck?

[stoic beacon]

It's absolutely amazing if

A. You primarily play on PC anyways, so your library is Steam based
B. You have games to play that are high quality, low performance overhead (Hades, Hollow Knight, etc.)
C. You enjoy handheld gaming and play plenty of games that are not mouse/keyboard based

[coarse comet]

Is a backlog the games you still want to play?

[stoic beacon]

But yeah, my wife was planning on playing Skyrim and Horizon on it instead of dragging her giant PC out of the office and into the living room, and I was going to play Witcher 3 and Elden Ring on it, but even on low settings, it can barely hold a stable 40FPS on any of those titles, so I'm not as impressed as I thought I would be

[twin raptor]

I usually play campaign fps type games, so i didnt think it was worth it for me

[stoic beacon]

Yes

[stoic beacon]

Yeah, definitely not...we tried Portal and Doom on it, and the experience was pretty bad

[coarse comet]

My backlog that I own is about 4 games and ones I want to buy are about 5

[twin raptor]

Although i started horizon zero dawn recently. That seems like maybe a good one.

[stoic beacon]

We're probably going to build a living room PC at some point, once it costs less than $3,000 for a decent one that will do ray tracing effectively

[atomic oxide]

?

[stoic beacon]

That's one of the ones that hasn't been running well on it, unfortunately...low settings, skips around between 30-60 FPS, so I locked it to 40 FPS, and it skips between 30-40

It's definitely one of the coolest devices I've ever owned, but I'm sticking to stylized/2D games on it

[twin raptor]

Shame. Its glorious on PC.

[stoic beacon]

Yeah, that was the main issue. If we didn't already have PCs, it probably would be way cooler

I think the target audience is people who really want to play on the go and don't want to buy a switch or spend a ton of money building a PC

[uncut axle]

Instagram always has issues

[stoic beacon]

Because if you don't want to play on the go, you might as well go PS5/Series X, and if you don't mind building an expensive PC, might as well build a PC

[uncut axle]

Now it’s not showing new messages or anything, it will fix itself

Now it’s fine

[twin raptor]

Yeah. Since i built mine a few years ago my standards have gotten way too high. Used to play 2000s games on a geforce 210 and it was a blast. Now it makes me ill

[uncut axle]

I should have my new pc up and running soon

[stoic beacon]

It's hard to go back. I remember watching DVDs and thinking it was great, and now...can you believe DVDs were 480p?

[uncut axle]

I should be able to get the rest of the parts today (assuming my sister bf isn’t busy)

[stoic beacon]

And we live in a time where we balk at 720p in a lot of situations, and DVDs were 480p

Hard to go back

[molten drift]

I remember thinking Nintendo 64 games were the best gaming could look as a child

[coarse comet]

I wish I was born earlier gaming seemed more fun in the 2000s

[uncut axle]

Honestly I have to say ps2 is pretty fun

Well gt4 (gran turismo 4) is at least

[stoic beacon]

I wouldn't say it was more fun necessarily, it was just easier to get excited about things because the internet wasn't massively negative at the same level, and it was all new

[uncut axle]

Pretty solid game

[coarse comet]

Yeah I have the ps2 the gran turismos and need for speeds are amazing on it

[uncut axle]

I mainly play on a emulator

So I also have upscaling and stuff

[coarse comet]

My faveroute games are all made in like 1998-2012

[uncut axle]

While it isn’t the same experience, it looks better imo

[stoic beacon]

The hard part now is, a lot of the good gameplay ideas have been taken and done. You can't copy the gameplay exactly, or you may get in trouble. So people tend to bork the gameplay, but have amazing graphics.

The last three assassin's creed games are basically straight downgrades in every gameplay way to Skyrim, but the graphics are far superior.

That's why VR is a super cool concept, because the gameplay is ahead of the graphics, for the first time in a long time

[uncut axle]

The gran turismo games are fun (at least the ones I played so far)

Gt1, gt4 and the psp version

[twin raptor]

Interestingly, i sometimes watch old dvds and cassetes on a 480p 22inch monitor from 2007, and find I an still get involved. Maybe response time is the issue rather than display quality. (For me anyway)

[coarse comet]

I've played all of them exept gt7 on my ps5 it's £79

[uncut axle]

PSP isn’t my favorite version tbh

[coarse comet]

Rip off

[stoic beacon]

I watch old DVDs on a 65" TV, that's the hard part. And watching those same DVDs on a 55" TV way back when was the "best you could get"

[uncut axle]

I doubt my pc could handle a ps3 emulator, if it could I might would buy gt6 or something

I believe gt6 is ps3

[coarse comet]

I have a crappy pc I built in 2019 and I play games like half life series and portal 1 and 2 and there probably the best games I've ever played

[twin raptor]

Yes

10/10 play again often

[uncut axle]

I still haven’t played portal or anything

[coarse comet]

Gt6 is ps3 yeah

[twin raptor]

The Black Mesa remake js also excellent.

[uncut axle]

Even tho I have it (I got it when it was like $1-2 on steam)

[coarse comet]

I played all the half life games and portal when I got my pc there my favourites

[uncut axle]

I have those as well

[twin raptor]

Makes Xen look fantastic.

[uncut axle]

I have most of the half life series and portal series

[coarse comet]

I got the valve bundle in 2019 and played them all

[uncut axle]

The orange box was like $2-3 a bit ago

And portal was like $1

[coarse comet]

I got the valve bundle in 2019 for £5

Has 27 valve games

[uncut axle]

I probably should go ahead and download portal already

I should be able to run them fine

I imagine a toaster can probably somewhat run those games

Is oak or birch usually the stronger wood?

[orchid kestrel]

i think jan 8th?

[full fossil]

Thank you

Think 7950x3d will be revealed there?

[rustic finch]

Oak

[orchid kestrel]

oak is a tiny bit stronger than birch

[full fossil]

What about walnut

[rustic finch]

Still Oak I think... Not done much work with walnut

[full fossil]

Thanks. Picking a counter top to use for my desk

[rustic finch]

Ooooh

[full fossil]

Solid slab of wood

[rustic finch]

That's always fun

[full fossil]

Yep. I was gonna go arozzi arena and i was like eh thats kinda boring

[summer folio]

Birch is great for starting fires

[rustic finch]

If your after strength then oak is the goat but if you want something a bit more cool rosewood is beautiful but hard to get

[orchid kestrel]

walnut idk, but brazilian walnut is absurdly strong
3680 janka rating, oak is about a third of that or less

[orchid kestrel]

who said were talking about fires?

[full fossil]

Walnut costs $20 more than oak so im assuming its stronger

[orchid kestrel]

._.

[summer folio]

You use wood for fires, no?

Norway spruce master race

[orchid kestrel]

were talking about wood strong

[rustic finch]

No lol I'm a carpenter I use wood as building materials

[river vector]

hey i have 60hz monitor should i lock my fps on 59 or 60?

[orchid kestrel]

normal walnut is weaker than oak

[summer folio]

I thought we were comparing tree trunks

[full fossil]

Is it?

[summer folio]

Picea abies

[full fossil]

Not just chunks. The whole base

[orchid kestrel]

it costs more cuz its less common or less demand

[stoic beacon]

Walnut is more desirable in the market right now than oak, which is why it's more expensive. Hickory and oak are both far harder woods

[full fossil]

https://youtu.be/6EGjy8exH5Q. Saw this and i want to suggest a CAD and blender benchmark video for GPUs. Or at least a comment on weather or not we can trust the old money = better performance.

[orchid kestrel]

if you wanna know strength, look up a janka hardness rating chart

or some other rating thing

[summer folio]

I watched a Swedish Documentary
About The Nordics planting soo many idk, like Picea abies/Norway Spruce in Africa to climate compensate & it really upset the african people there.

"The Trees are good for nothing, WHere is the Bananas?!? 🍌 "

[stoic beacon]

Pretty sure people haven't measured GPUs like that in a while. You first decide on a brand of GPU by desired featureset. Then, you go FPS/dollar after that

[summer folio]

Everybody knows you tell others to buy AMD, & then buy Nvidia yourself

[full fossil]

Ok one more reason to do a video about it. Honestly i am not into any gaming that requires a strong GPU i do spend most of my life on CAD.

I have tried to see the gaming charts but they don’t mean anything to me.

Maybe i am barking at the wrong tree. There is some content on GPUs for work, but i guess since its not enthusiast related it gets very little views and so its all farily old.

[summer folio]

What graphic card does Nvidia have in 100$, 150$ & 200$ price range anyways?

WHere is the RTX 4050

[full fossil]

The karlby from ikea is a solid piece of oak wood right? Im not missing any small details? Like its just a solid slab of an oakwood counter top or desk top?

Just double checking before i make a mistake

[stoic beacon]

Yes, because I need Nvidia for a multitude of reasons. I actually tell most people to go Nvidia for a lot of reasons, but I tell them that AMD is probably the better value. You haven't been here long enough to assume things about me. So I would recommend not doing that.

[summer folio]

RTX 3040

3020

GT720 is 8 years old now,
They can't keep getting away with it!!1

Update the 60$ price range zzz

[stoic beacon]

What are you planning on using a GT720 for?...

[summer folio]

Nono, I want Nvidia to launch GT4020

I already got GT720, want to upgrade

[stoic beacon]

Well...good luck with that

[summer folio]

Why would they launch a GT720
But not a GT4020?

[stoic beacon]

Probably because very few people at a consumer level would be interested in that

[summer folio]

Enough people were interested for them to launch GT720

[stoic beacon]

That was 8 years ago, the landscape has changed, massively

[summer folio]

People got dumber & spent more?

[stoic beacon]

Yes, and people also got smarter and didn't buy e-waste

[summer folio]

My Z97 Motherboard only got garbage connectors
Displayport & HDMI

Need Dual-DVI for my LG 120HZ

GT 720 solved that like a champ.

[fair sage]

Dual DVI is the garbage connector. Only thing worse than dual link DVI is D-SUB

the issue is on your monitor not having Displayport

[fossil frost]

dual dvi is hdmi with a big connector...

[fair sage]

my monitor from 2008 had Displayport https://cdn.webshopapp.com/shops/261465/files/311673512/image.jpg

true, it was a 500 euro monitor in 2008, but still

[summer folio]

False. DVI is the one true superior monitor connector.
Press it in, screw in both screws, aint going nowhere now.

Just unscrew the screws to remove it.

You have to physically violate a displayport cable to get it out

Like Bend/break it before it comes loose

[fossil frost]

if you trip over hdmi, it pops out, tv/monitor do not go flying... trip over dvi cable... you are about to get assaulted by a tv/monitor

[summer folio]

[summer folio]

HDMI-connector is aight ig, the standard is whack.
It's displayports connector I have beef with.

[summer folio]

All the Connectors!

[summer folio]

HDMI is not backward compatible with Dual-Link DVI.
Only Single Link. Aka HDMI 2 bad to match the glory of Dual-Link DVI.

american humour has improved markedly over recent times, but some of it is still super super cringe.

[pulsar lily]

sure but by the time you buy a 13900k you might want to get a better screen than 1080p

[heady flicker]

nothing wrong with 1080p

[pulsar lily]

no, but if you are primarily gaming spending 800 euro/dollar on a CPU when you otherwise limit yourself to 1080p is silly

1080 is fine in a lot of cases

laptops etc. but on a high end PC you really wanna target something better

[manic torrent]

I mean, I was just using a 27" 1440p and it felt like a tiny little toy, because I'm used to 4k 48" oled

but you can set different pins, and it tells you when they put in their code. You can also enable and disable them. So you can enable cleaners PIN at tuesday 10am, and disable it tuesday 2PM. (for example) and it shows you when they unlocked the door

you need HA to be setup with google for that, but once it's in HA, there's nothing further to set up

I can only help you to help yourself

[manic torrent]

You need to write the problem, with context, and include what you have tried, and what you think is going on, and anything you did/changed prior to the issue.

[graceful burrow]

[manic torrent]

"omg I get this error" is not a question anyone cares about

[fluid ingot]

what I said to do.

[graceful burrow]

Also if I wanted to do tech support I'd be in tech support, not here

[manic torrent]

Also you'd be far better off in a dedicated linux discord, with people who want to deal with noob linux issues

Cloud is absolutely amazing

Remoting to my pc is actually less battery draining than web surfing on my laptop directly

[manic torrent]

This one seems really good https://princetonuniversity.github.io/PUbootcamp/sessions/technical-questions/HowToAskQuestions2018Bootcamp.pdf

[neon mesa]

Who needs gaming laptops now

[full fossil]

Dudes who travel. But laptops really suck for gaming

Laptops are nice for work and thats all

[neon mesa]

That's exactly what cloud is for

Once internet infrastructure gets better
Remoting to your pc at home will be better

[hollow pulsar]

Those who don’t have ultra-reliable network connections, fast ping to all servers in the chain, and those who want to push FPS and maximize color depth.

[neon mesa]

Me who literally uses shitty nvmo cell carrier and still got decent experience

[manic torrent]

it doesn't matter, I solve this by not going anywhere

[neon mesa]

The power of my PC at home
Without the power requirements, weight, and noise, of a gaming laptop

[full fossil]

Laptops are good for continuing the match when you have to poop mid match

[hollow pulsar]

Also, many cloud gaming services are 1 step further removed down the road of “not owning anything you buy”. This I personally detest and no one can ever convince me otherwise.

[neon mesa]

You're missing the point here

Not laptops in general, gaming laptops

You still need a laptop to remote in the first place

[vapid smelt]

lets pretend this is bestbuy, you came to the first worker you see and asked for help finding the right printer for you, we point you to the area where the printers are and tell you to talk to hennery since he knows allot about them, you go over there yell his name once wait 5 seconds them come straight back to us asking for help again.....

[neon mesa]

However with cloud even a shitbox that costs 200 will work as good as a gaming laptop, somewhat

Sure not 100% same but hey, 1/10th the price

Why buy another gaming laptop when you have a pc at home just idling

If you don't already have a pc, yeah gaming laptops are fine

There is shadow PC but it's pricy as fuck

I'm all for self hosted cloud gaming
However fuck corporate owned ones

[vapid smelt]

$799 4070ti is amazing value

[orchid kestrel]

Is the i3 13100 basically the 12100 just with the 13th gen name change
still uses alder lake architecture
still 4 cores

[neon mesa]

When 4070 class card costs like x80 ones a generation ago

[vapid smelt]

did intel finally relase it?

[orchid kestrel]

3x the performance of 3090 ti
*with AI frame generation/DLSS 3.0

[neon mesa]

Prices of new generation cards shouldn't scale with last generation

Defeats the point of a new generation

[orchid kestrel]

yeah
or atleast you can get it in australia

[vapid smelt]

it cost $100 more then the 3080 msrp

[orchid kestrel]

well if all games had AI frame generation, it would be an absolute steal

[neon mesa]

No it is not

[orchid kestrel]

sarcasm

[heady flicker]

just wait for it to be scalped hard

[neon mesa]

Always put /s

[orchid kestrel]

there's like a handful of games that support DLSS

Amd graphic cards being recalled

[fluid ridge]

smh people buying cards too hot to handle

[vapid smelt]

https://www.tomshardware.com/news/defective-vapor-chamber-may-be-causing-rx-7900-xtx-overheating-issue

[full fossil]

Yea the issue is already outted lol

Its a manufacturing defect where they didnt put enough coolant in the heatpipes

Thats why certain mounting would cause overheat when other mounting like the one where i think it's called vertical? Where its against your side panel did not overheat

[vapid smelt]

@indigo plume i was wrong, you where right ,it really was a big problem with the 7900xtx, i just thought it was affecting a handful of them and wasnt a big problem

[full fossil]

No its a big enough problem amd is recalling them. Aib cards are unaffected. Im assuming reference xt's are too but theres not enough sold for it to be known yet since they used the same manufacturer for that cards reference cooler too

Watching gamersnexus video, the aib powercolor red devil card suffers 110c junction temp too

That's a yikes amd has big problems with the xtx. Seems like the xt isnt such bad value anymore because that card just works

[manic torrent]

43? IS your steam library broken?

[heady flicker]

43 games is a lot

[hollow pulsar]

[heady flicker]

apex, cs, and lost ark are my only games on steam

I'm thinking of buying stray, though

ah sale ends in 37 hours

[fluid ridge]

is that a lot or a little

[heady flicker]

I guess I have to decide soon

[fluid ridge]

i have 43 games yes

i have spent 700+ canadian dollars on steam

[vapid smelt]

you know how the xt has a dummy die so amd could use the same cooler for both cards, what if thats the problem area for the xtx and thats why the xt isnt in the news with it as well

[fluid ridge]

🗿

bob coming in here flexing real quick

[full fossil]

Wdym dummy die

[vapid smelt]

one of the chips/squares is not doing anything its just there to evenly spread the cooler

[vapid smelt]

Note, however, that the Radeon RX 7900 XT will still have 6 MCDs present, but one is a dummy die that is functionally disabled.

some deep ass pockets bruh

[vapid smelt]

yet you hardly play any with your 3090

It happened after I left Xidax but I found out about it from friends still at Xidax that Intel did in fact drop that many 12th gen procs

[velvet marsh]

shhh lol

I like collecting

[manic torrent]

yeah I stopped buying games I didn't play 😄

[wraith sonnet]

You know for someone with the icecube profile you don't have any chill

[fluid ridge]

did you farm these?

[velvet marsh]

nope

[fluid ridge]

like buy a bunch of really cheap bad games or did you like spend 10-60 dollars per game

thats insane

Whats your junction temps when gaming?

I held off getting a steam account for ages because I was salty about it or something, or I stopped playing CS ? IDK it's all a blur

[full fossil]

Or when it's under full load?

[indigo plume]

havent built it yet

just came in other day

[full fossil]

Is it the xtx or xt model

[indigo plume]

xt

[full fossil]

Its unaffected and fine

The xfx speedster xt model gets temps of 58-61c with junction temps around 68-78c

@indigo plume show pics of the sexy beast

[brave lava]

Same blur as me most likely. Lan parties, hangovers and carrying CRT monitors.

[indigo plume]

well its still in the box

[full fossil]

When you gonna open it?

[indigo plume]

im just waiting to build it till tmw

[manic torrent]

yeah pretty much 🙂 those were the heyday of LANs

[indigo plume]

cuz im puttting together new pc

going to build it tmw morning

[full fossil]

@indigo plume you should open it and take pics 🙂

[indigo plume]

ill send pics tmw of build

[full fossil]

😦

What cpu and all that

[indigo plume]

7600xt

i mean 7600x

when with slower ram tho at 5600 since 6000 speed was bit pricey

[full fossil]

Im looking at them rn, they are $10 apart

You had me curious so i looked

[indigo plume]

well this was just at my local pc store

[full fossil]

Oof

Whod you buy your gpu from

[indigo plume]

newegg

[full fossil]

Did they ship the right card

@indigo plume just so you know that card is massive, like rtx 4080 size massive, so i hope your case can fit it

[indigo plume]

my case fits up to 360mm

I think it should fit cuz i think its like 330mm

[full fossil]

Its 344mm

Triple slot, well 2.5 slot

[indigo plume]

so should barely fit

[full fossil]

Hopefully. The depth of your case will be the other issue

Its very tall xD

[indigo plume]

well 4000d I think is deep enough

[orchid kestrel]

When will google make Google RTX Chrome?

[full fossil]

Hang on @indigo plume check your dms in a minute

[indigo plume]

but we will see

[full fossil]

Sending pics of the xfx next to reference

[orchid kestrel]

i want rtx chrome

[full fossil]

Pics are in dm's @indigo plume

[indigo plume]

pc part picker didnt say there was any compatibly issues so it should fit

but we will find out

[neon mesa]

What the hell is this board

No 24pin, no PCIe

[vapid smelt]

a dell

[neon mesa]

Wait it's a DC port on the back

Barrel plug

[indigo plume]

well I hope my gpu fits in case

will be quite annoying if it dont

[orchid kestrel]

is it a LGA socket?

no PCIe...
2 RAM...
looks like a casual persons server motherboard

2x SATA

weird

[thorn junco]

looks like some kind of motherboard brand that cant build a motherboard 😅

[full fossil]

Xfx lists the size the same as the reference card on their website so thats an issue

[indigo plume]

well Ill find out tmw

[wary summit]

printer?

[neon mesa]

I don't know

[wary summit]

Seems like it's made for non GUI use imo

serial?

[neon mesa]

It came from a dell iirc

Definitely from a pc

[wary summit]

dell mini pc

w-where's the latching mechanisim for the cpu

or is it just pressure mounted by the cooler ;-;

[indigo plume]

well I saw a build with a h7 flow and think they are similar in size

[full fossil]

Is it possible to dual boot windows 11 and linux mint cinnamon?

[indigo plume]

so mone should fit

[orchid kestrel]

dumbest server maybe

[full fossil]

Hopefully i just wanted to let you know

[graceful burrow]

Doesn't need one
It's pressure mounted by the cooler and the standoffs (which are on the other side panel and stick through the mobo)

[wary summit]

nah it's got a barell plug it's low power

[orchid kestrel]

oh

[wary summit]

figured that out

[graceful burrow]

Yes but it's super not recommended due to windows enjoying killing grub
Which, if it happens, will brick both installations

[wary summit]

Picture's don't exactly look crisp on RDP

[graceful burrow]

If you're dual booting, make sure each installation is on entirely separate drives to avoid grub kill

[neon mesa]

Grub kill will only brick the linux part

[wary summit]

Should I dual boot Windows 11, or just create 2 accounts for school, but then idk what they'll do so i think dual boot's better

[neon mesa]

If windows is installed first at least

[graceful burrow]

I've had it brick windows

[wary summit]

but i need a 2TB ssd

[graceful burrow]

It's just easier to not

And install on separate drives

[wispy marsh]

Hey people. Is the only way for a Asus RT-AC5300 to get wireguard client capabilities, the merlin wrt firmware?

[full fossil]

OOF why is microsoft so bad at making os's. I want to go full linux mint but the lack of game support kills me 😦

[wary summit]

Dual booting windows 11 is safe riht

[graceful burrow]

Just use proton

[graceful burrow]

As safe as 10

[wispy marsh]

Wait

[wary summit]

10 was a shit show for me

[wispy marsh]

MS killed grub?

[graceful burrow]

No

[wary summit]

10 dual booting bricked like, 3 installations

[full fossil]

Proton?

[graceful burrow]

Windows update writes garbage into the partition where grub is stored, and that causes grub to not load

[wary summit]

Proton VPN ™️

[wispy marsh]

The last time I did grub, it was ubuntu 12 with windows 7

[full fossil]

Morning all

[wary summit]

isin't ubuntu now lke 22

[graceful burrow]

Proton is a compatibility layer that lets windows games run on Linux
It's what the steam deck uses
It's really good, sometimes games running through proton run better than they do on windows natively

[wary summit]

23*

[orchid kestrel]

its on steam, their website tells you how well games work with it, basically allows alot of windows games to run on linux

[graceful burrow]

Very robust

[orchid kestrel]

https://www.protondb.com
you can check compatibility here

[neon mesa]

If you install windows first before linux
It's smooth usually

For kali and mint at least, i had experience with the two

[full fossil]

Ty

[neon mesa]

And windows boot loader will still be there even if grub died

[graceful burrow]

Or just install on two separate drives and you never have to worry about it

[full fossil]

Fortnite doesnt work on linux mint though? League of legends? Age of empires 4?

[neon mesa]

Not everyone got two drives

[full fossil]

Pubg?

[graceful burrow]

Fortnite doesnt
League I don't think does
Aoe does

Check out areweanticheatyet.com

[full fossil]

I do have two separate 4tb pcie4 nvme drives

[neon mesa]

Stay on windows if you game and you'll be fine

Use linux for linux stuff

[full fossil]

So if i run windows 11 on one drive and linux mint on the other drive there wont be any issues?

[graceful burrow]

Or be baller and use Linux for everything

[graceful burrow]

Yes that's what I've been saying this entire time

[full fossil]

Ive been in and out of chat im sorry

[neon mesa]

If you're a masochist

[full fossil]

Im going to do that then and just use windows 11 for gaming.

[orchid kestrel]

or if you dont like windows (like me)

[neon mesa]

Make sure to unplug the windows drive first

[full fossil]

Do i have to restart my pc each time to switch os's or can i just do a quick swap?

[neon mesa]

When installing only have one drive installrd

[full fossil]

Why

[neon mesa]

But when already set up you just need to pick from boot menu

[wary summit]

CS:GO stuck at 74 fps wud i do?

[graceful burrow]

Yeah you just reboot the pc and boot from the other from bios

[full fossil]

Only three games didn't work for me in Linux that I wanted, league, valorant and six siege 😭

[graceful burrow]

Upgrade cpu

[neon mesa]

Because it gets messy

[full fossil]

@graceful burrow should i really install with only one drive installed at a time?

[graceful burrow]

It's a good idea

[neon mesa]

Sometimes bootloader takes existing EFI partition even if the OS is installed somewhere else

[wary summit]

Ryzen 7 6800HS

[graceful burrow]

I said what I said

[full fossil]

Alright. Next question

[wary summit]

ighht imma buy a Ryzen 9 6900HX mobo for my laptop-

[full fossil]

Which amd drivers would be used on linux mint for graphics card? Rhel x86? Ubuntu x86? Or sled/sles 15?

[full fossil]

If you have two GPUs, you can run two os at the same time xP

[wary summit]

sles sounds like minecraft shaers

[neon mesa]

No

[wary summit]

techincally yes

[full fossil]

don't download amd drivers, they are literally worse and slower than the one's included, only Nvidia needs to download drivers

[orchid kestrel]

explain this, its a 2D game where you're fishing
its "family friendly" yet also is under the label "psychological horror"
https://www.protondb.com/app/343780

[full fossil]

Oh. All drivers are included with mint already?

[full fossil]

Amd drivers included in kernel itself, in all distros

Awesome ty

When will linux get full game support for new games like fortnite league etc?

[full fossil]

It's not Linux fault, those games use anti chest that specifically doesn't support Linux, instead of using the one which does xP

[full fossil]

Easy anti cheat is garbage anyways lol

So let me ask this

[wary summit]

fortninte mobile is back???!?!?!? since when

[full fossil]

If i have both os installed on separate drives. While im on one os, the other drive is not in use at all?

[full fossil]

Also, you might just want to install Vulcan drivers

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kisak/kisak-mesa && sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386 && sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade && sudo apt install libgl1-mesa-dri:i386 mesa-vulkan-drivers mesa-vulkan-drivers:i386

[full fossil]

Shouldn't be xP tho you can mount and see windows files

[full fossil]

Wdym mount xD

Im a long time windows user so im a noob but i dislike how windows has been going and how unstable it is for actual every day use

[full fossil]

It's same as open xD

[full fossil]

Well, I don't think Linux is here just yet to replace windows xD it still needs work

[simple quail]

you mount the filesystem to a mountpoint, which is an empty directory

[full fossil]

windows is so boring stuff

[full fossil]

Thats why im dabbling at the option of dual booting both

mac os would be better

[full fossil]

with rufus?

What

Idk im new to all of this xD

[full fossil]

Tho if you learn Linux really well, you could figure out how to run any game/program from any os on Linux xP it's just not very ez atm

[wary summit]

Ok, so according to Asus werbsite my laptop supports max 32GB of DDR5, but it alreay has 8gb soldered, if i add 32gb stick will it work?

[full fossil]

Do you think linux will get full support for all games?

[full fossil]

I once added 20gb to 16gb max mb and it worked somehow lol

[graceful burrow]

that's up to the devs

the devs of the games, not the linux devs

[full fossil]

Right but do you think its popular enough devs will support it?

[full fossil]

100%, I think only Linux and Mac will be left as most popular os xP

[graceful burrow]

no clue
i feel like most devs will just use proton
which is fine

[full fossil]

One day

[full fossil]

Well proton lets the games play on linux mint? XD

[graceful burrow]

google it

[wary summit]

nah, it's impossible

Linux is for power users, and mac os for intergration

[full fossil]

i learned it from nullbyte

[full fossil]

indeed!!!

[simple quail]

that's the issue with new platforms; to get more users, you need good software, but to get good software, you need to have a lot of users

[wary summit]

even if Microsoft goes bankrupt windows will probabl be maintained by private people kinda like MIUI EU

[full fossil]

like color os

[full fossil]

Why xD it already won server, mobile and embedded systems, only one left

[wary summit]

because their mobie was built on fucking android

Android exists already why use Microsofts?

[full fossil]

their marketing strategy is worse

[wary summit]

plus using Nokia phones wasn't the best idea of a "smartphone"

[simple quail]

never say never

[wary summit]

but windows OS as desktop

[wary summit]

Neverrrrr!!!

can i loike borrow someone's floatplane account so i can watch LTT in china because youtube is blocked ;-;

[simple quail]

I do believe Linux will seriously compete with Windows within our lifetimes

[full fossil]

Linux isnt new though xD

[wary summit]

1. no games 2. apps 3. power user 4. no premium stuff / free 5. community based

[full fossil]

not yet

[gilded plinth]

No games?

[simple quail]

no games?

[gilded plinth]

What have I been doing all this time?!

[wary summit]

yea no support for games

[full fossil]

im gonna make sure of that >:3
how can i call myself a dev and not contribute

no games no life

not yet anyways

[wary summit]

ok, play Forza 5 with AIO mods?

[gilded plinth]

I don't like that game

[simple quail]

almost all of my Steam games work under Linux

[wary summit]

Steam

[full fossil]

mods are annoying

[wary summit]

Pirating sofwtare on windows is better

I don't pay for most my games

[full fossil]

bcuz its an old company

[wary summit]

:kekw:

[full fossil]

uss

So is windows 11 bad

[full fossil]

its not, trust me, ik, its actually safer to do it on linux, cuz most malware doesn't work on linux xD

[wary summit]

no

[graceful burrow]

nah

[full fossil]

nope

far better than 10

[gilded plinth]

[full fossil]

8

[wary summit]

but you can't RUN them can you?

[full fossil]

Hows it better

[simple quail]

what do you base these on though

[wary summit]

personal experiences

[simple quail]

just because you're more familiar with something doesn't mean the alternative is necessarily bad

[full fossil]

you can run 90% of windows programs/games xP
i use Lutris, which uses wine and dxvk :V
fitgirl repacks work great XD

[wary summit]

filecr

[wary summit]

if that's fr im switching, from my past expereince (before steam os and proton) I used linux to wipe lots of school computers

[simple quail]

I've daily driven only Linux and macOS for 3+ years, my Linux machine does everything I need it to, including games

[wary summit]

Valorant?

it's like the only game i play...

[simple quail]

I don't play that game, but apparently it has super intrusive anti-cheat

[wary summit]

yea it kinda does

[full fossil]

nope xP their CUSTOM anti-cheat doesn't work

[wary summit]

thought so

[full fossil]

https://areweanticheatyet.com/

[full fossil]

not linux fault, they literally dont release it to linux xD

[wary summit]

never said ti was

just bummer

[wary summit]

[full fossil]

https://www.protondb.com/

[wary summit]

and faster

[graceful burrow]

Hows 10 better than 11

[wary summit]

yea, no, I don't rlly use steam bc idk

[graceful burrow]

dont really need steam for anything other than a proton wrapper tbf

[wary summit]

I think it's bc i didn't have money then, and then like you can't add frein'ds without money? so thats probably why

i think it was like you need at least $5 on steam to add friends

[full fossil]

damn

[wary summit]

thats what gave me the bad user experience

[tender geyser]

Can you drag and drop files between apps in the taskbar in win 11 or did they not fix that yet

[wary summit]

idk

[full fossil]

just to be clear btw, most repacks i tried work xP
BUT some installers randomly blow up lol,
so if u gonna , better use gog or already installed :V

[graceful burrow]

i can do that

[tender geyser]

It’s one of the only reasons I haven’t upgraded yet

[wary summit]

bruh

[graceful burrow]

works fine for me

[wary summit]

i can too

[full fossil]

i can too on gnome xP

[wary summit]

i need opinions

1. Windows 11 Center taskbar
2. Windows 11 Left taskbar
3. Windows 10 Left Taskbar
4. Windows 10 Center taskbar

(use reactions)

[tender geyser]

Tabs in file explorer look so nice

[graceful burrow]

they are

[tender geyser]

Like a dream come true

[graceful burrow]

they work pretty nice too

[wary summit]

yea but you can't hold the file in the tab to drop it

[tender geyser]

What

What the fuck man

[wary summit]

oh nvm you can

[graceful burrow]

yeah i was gonna say you absolutely can

[tender geyser]

Ok was about to say that’s awful

[wary summit]

i forgot it was RDPing into a PC 8000km away

[graceful burrow]

you cant drag off a tab to make a new window though
that's the only complaint i have

[wary summit]

ther'es like 2000ms ping

[wary summit]

like drag into the plss tab symbol? or?

[graceful burrow]

like if you click and drag a tab

[tender geyser]

Like how u drag a browser tab out

[graceful burrow]

you cant drag it off
and make it a new window

grail gets it and that's all that matters imo

[wary summit]

ohye

[tender geyser]

I use it a lot

[wary summit]

-_-

oh right, i can't have an opinon here

forgot it's china

[tender geyser]

I might make the switch then, gotta look at some more videos about win 11 first

Been a while

[wary summit]

look at recent ones

[tender geyser]

Yeah ofc

[wary summit]

ye it's been a fuckign year hoyl shit

dosen't feel like 2023 imo

[full fossil]

[wary summit]

[full fossil]

Chat slowing down? 😦

[full fossil]

Hey

[finite cloud]

whatever you think looks good. i like the center one a lot

[full fossil]

Can you do no task bar in windows 11

[finite cloud]

yeah you just turn this on

[full fossil]

Interesting

But i meant taskbar on but none of those icons in the center

[finite cloud]

oh, uh, yeah you can take away most of them im sure

im not gonna do that because i dont want to put it all back but yeah

you can remove them all execpt the start menu

[full fossil]

Okay cool thank you 🙂

[finite cloud]

but you can move it to the left and its basically invisible

[full fossil]

I assume all video games have full support on windows 11?

[finite cloud]

yeah

[full fossil]

Cool thank you 🙂

[finite cloud]

i think the weather icon cant be removed either

[full fossil]

When will they bring back the legendary windows xp media player

[finite cloud]

oh i have sandbox so i can test the task bar thing

[full fossil]

Sandbox?

[finite cloud]

on windows pro you can get sandbox which is a windows vm

[full fossil]

Oh interesting

I wish windows was free like Linux

[finite cloud]

you can do this

[tender geyser]

If you accept the free win 11 upgrade while having 10 pro do you get 11 pro

[finite cloud]

yeah

that works all the way back to 7 i believe

[full fossil]

Awesome! 😄 ty for showing

[finite cloud]

no problem

[full fossil]

I miss windows xp and windows 7

[sweet grail]

😒 the whole file switching got me with UEFI with a GUID Partition Table (GPT) vs legacy bios

[full fossil]

The managers need a new Ferrari

[full fossil]

Smh microsoft sucks. Remember when microsoft made good software but didnt have the best hardware? Now they have the best hardware but they dont have that great of software. So, should they be renowned as microhard?

[wispy marsh]

No.

[vapid smelt]

what hardware?

[wispy marsh]

They are microsoft for a reason

1. Micro
2. Soft

[full fossil]

Xbox series x/s

[vapid smelt]

the one AMD made?

[wispy marsh]

LOL no thats AMD

[full fossil]

lol

[sweet grail]

It would be nice if there was a easier way to go from legacy bios to gpt 😅 to many things can go wrong

[wispy marsh]

Try it out first

[sweet grail]

I did now I can't boot into windows

[wispy marsh]

If your bios manufacturer supports uefi:

• boot a gpt boot drive on a usb
• use mbr2gpt if you're on win10 1809 and after
• flash to uefi

You can still extract data from it

[sweet grail]

Ya I had it running yesterday, after I turned my pc off it wouldn't boot 😐

[wispy marsh]

Connect your drive via another header

• go to cmd via a win thumbdrive
• shrink your existing partition
• create a new partition
• move your data over
• then reinstall windows over the existing partition

[sweet grail]

O ok that makes it so much easier 😅

[wispy marsh]

You need an existing bootable first

Either than or linux on usb

[full fossil]

So when i install the os's for dual boot. Do i do windows 11 first, install on my main drive? Then remove that drive and then install the drive for linux mint and install that then insert all drives and im good to go or?

[wispy marsh]

Then you'd have two bootloaders to select from

But only grub will show you the listing

[full fossil]

Grub?

[wispy marsh]

It'll show you kernels you can boot into, and recovery mode too

[full fossil]

Oh interesting.

[past egret]

a grub is a creature that lives in the ground

[wispy marsh]

Grub is the company that lives above the ground

[full fossil]

Are there any issues to be aware of when dual booting linux mint and windows 11?

[wispy marsh]

As long as they aren't on the same drive using the same bootloader, I'd say none

[full fossil]

Do they automatically use different boot loaders?

[full fossil]

Microsoft has their own bootloader for Windows xP

Oh

[indigo plume]

i dont get how high on life got so popular

its a medicore game with just some like meta humor

its nothing that special imo

[full fossil]

Well when the gaming market is beyond stale and then they release something thats different people go crazy over it

Example, "hey its not cod for once! 10/10!"

[livid tiger]

I'm debating if its worth keeping my iPhone X on older ios 14 for speed or updating it to ios 16 for features. What do u guys think?

[indigo plume]

i mean cod imo is better than that

only thing it does that is special is the humor

the actual game play is pretty boring and stale

[full fossil]

The gameplay felt like a low budget borderlands

[indigo plume]

and the humor is hit or miss

[full fossil]

@indigo plume what do you thinks the best video game ever made?

[indigo plume]

witcher 3 or dark souls 3

are my favs

also really liked super mario 64

one of those would be my pics for best game

hard to decide which one tho

[near nymph]

Yum

[full fossil]

Id say sh2 or mgs or re

Witcher 3 is good though too

[indigo plume]

only metal gear game ive played is revengace

never got into them

really liked revengace

gunna play the resident evil remakes soon

[full fossil]

🙂 let me know what you think when you do

Im excited for the re4 remake

[indigo plume]

so I guess ur a big fan of koijima games

cuz didnt he make sh2

as well as mg

[full fossil]

Only the metal gear solid projects. I dont care for his other games

Im excited for the sh2 remake

They should remake sh1, 3, and 4

[past egret]

play mgsv

[indigo plume]

ill get to metal geal games but gotta play other games in backlog

[past egret]

you cant just play revengeance and call it a day, its not a real metal gear solid game

[indigo plume]

gotta play 3 resident evil games persona 4 and 5 games gotta play and few others

[wispy marsh]

Is 1080FE worth $150?

[full fossil]

Truth lol. Revengeance is far from a true metal gear game

||psychomantis though man, sniperwolf too||

[past egret]

Psychomantis?

[errant valve]

Just wanna ask anyone knowledgable, my mother board the MSI Pro Z790 A Wifi has ddr5, but without overclock, the mother board’s rated ram only goes 3200 mhz. Do I have to over clock to make use of my ddr5 5600mhz ram?

[full fossil]

Did you never play mgs too?

[full fossil]

2 sticks or4?

[errant valve]

16x2, so 2 sticks

[full fossil]

You have to use xmp to get your full speed. Its in your bios

[errant valve]

xmp like ram overclock stuff then?

[past egret]

that was a reference to original psychomantis

from mgs1

[full fossil]

I didnt get the reference its been a long time

[full fossil]

Mhm. Its the overclock profile set by default in your bios. Intel has xmp, amd has expo

[errant valve]

Gotcha thanks dude, very much appreciated
