I really wish, they would release a gaming oriented vertical mouse. High DPI sensor, good clicker switches, etc. Right now stuck with my Logitech lift that tops out at 4000 dpi and has mushy switches.

Thank you, I should know by now to check the Arch documentation lol. I always forget to go there until someone else reminds me it exists.

Just to be an absolute rebel; Solus

Chimera is the bees-knees. I’ve got my son’s computer configured with it and have had zero complaints, it just plays games and makes working roms/emulation so easy.

+1 for Nobara. All the optimizations make some significant differences in frametimes in my experience.

Nice, does the heavy lifting with Xorg files, display server is not something I’ve messed with on Linux. I really like having a pretty GUI to use.

I’ll check it out, I do have something on hand though that I’m thinking of going with. As any self respecting “computer guy” I have waaay too many towers around the house and am right now planning to try to use an optiplex 5040 MT as a proxmox box running a pfsense VM and maybe some storage too.

EDIT: Fixed some typos/grammar

Nice, I’ve also thought of installing PFsense on it and using it as my home router. But that seems like kind of waste of its potential. It’s perfectly sized for that purpose though.

Not to necro this thread, but lets say someone I know has gotten copy of a repack and when they try to install it with Lutris it says they don’t have enough disk space to run the installer, is it possible to create the wine bottle and specify the size of it before launching the installer?

AMD, easily. Its literally plug and play. You can even pick some second hand options for cheap that are still solid for gaming such as the vega 56/64 and the RX 5700XT (which is I use). Intel isn’t bad so long as you’re not playing the newest stuff, my Arc a750 is solid in games like Fallout 4 and Elden Ring. Starfield is complete mess on it. Another thing with Intel is you’ll need a distro with a 6+ kernel to get the most out of it.

That’s nice for the EU folks, elsewhere Microsoft has doubled down on this practice.

I had this hunt earlier this year myself; ended up going with the Acer Nitro 5 15. Its fully user upgradeable with DDR4 RAM, two m2 drives and even a 2.5 in drive. And it has a TB3 port for charging and works with external graphics as well. Everything worked under linux right out of the box.

Yea I’ve got the same GPU and its normally very capable of high settings with everything I normally play but Starfield is kind of a bear it seems.

I was so surprised to have this running day one, just had to switch to proton hotfix and it was off to the races!

What did you end going with in the end?

Have you tried switching to proton hotfix? I don’t have that issue.

Have you checked the XDA forums for any other ROMS?

It appears only one of the toilets has TP

This was the first version of Doom I played, scared the hell out of me as a child. I recall telling some classmates I played Doom and how frightening it was. They were completely puzzled by my description of it, it wasn’t till much later I played vanilla Doom on PC and saw the differences. Such a good port and really shows how flexible dooms setting and gameplay are.
