I see! Thank you for the explanation, I'm still very new as this is my first Linux and I did no planning or intentional research before swapping over, I just got mad at Windows and was formatting my main dive 15 minutes later. I avoided Mint specifically because I'd seen lemmy threads saying it was using old packages on purpose for stability reasons, and that for actual gaming I'd want rolling release?

I don't know the difference between Wayland and X11, all I know is that they're options, and I'm 30 days into the Arch-derived(is that the right term?) Garuda Linux that defaults Wayland with a 3080 and I haven't had any problems? Aren't the Mint problems that it's a stable distro with outdated stuff?

I have no idea what turning the print monitor off means in either Windows or Linux, I use my Logitech wireless mouse on Linux by plugging in the USB receiver and never thinking about it again, I use my Xbox controller by hitting the Pair button and clicking the Bluetooth icon on my desktop

PL2 on a 14900T is 106W

Edit: I'm an idiot, T series is low power socketed, not mobile. 14900HX has a TDP of 55W but boosts short term to 157W, which is still pretty ridiculous

Aren't those the distros? Which one pulls packages using torrent

[–] mbfalzar@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

Do you have an example? Or is there a distro that does this by default? I'm pretty new to Linux and have never heard of it before

The only known way to get it working is an android emulator with a modified apk and only software rendering. Roblox went severely out of the way to shut down Linux gaming, able to detect wine and proton and crash itself if they're detected

My 3900X idles at 35 and hits 65 when it's 100% all cores. With a decent cooler modern AMD runs pretty chill

This is a pretty maintained list, and even if I disagree with the inclusion of some things because all you're missing is cosmetics, it is pretty easy to argue that "complete game offline" should include all content of that game, so I'm not gonna start a fight about it

But if you buy from GOG, make sure it doesn't have DRM, because GOG has been selling a few games that have DRM for a few years now

What does this post have to do with anything when it launched on PC the same day as PS5 and XSX? As well, a 10 year old pc would likely have a GTX 1070 or better and that's enough to run the game just fine?

Basically everything I have is type C now because I only want one kind of cord to worry about, but mini USB will always have my heart
