CS2: Try using -sdlaudiodriver pipewire in launch options

I had a net top thing from asus that had worse specs than that running fine a few years ago on AntiX. It was just used as a thin client mostly but did the job.

Unless it was one of those netbook desktop things, holy hell those were bad. I managed to get AntiX running pretty well on one, and tuxracer lagged a LOT. Was pretty useful as a cheap thin client though.

I guess the point is that its complexity is overrated, but still definitely not ‘simple’.

It’s literally a marketing term for a bunch of structured algorithms at this stage - not some sentient witchcraft

Davinci resolve? Its Linux support is a bit obtuse, but it works.

iPad / tablet, and applying for jobs can easily be done on a phone. My wife works at a high school - half the kids can’t even use a mouse properly,and don’t understand minimizing a window etc.

She had to teach someone what the enter button did yesterday… They were using space bar to get to a new line. I shit you not.

The main issue to solve is kids not having access to a computer at home, whether it be lack of incentive or money. Most people don’t even own a laptop anymore, so the only computer time they get is in a school setting.

Once the majority of schools have a system in place for most homework to be done on a PC, then there may be some creative ways to incentivise more PC adoption… again. It’s like we’ve gone back to the early 90s again where only kids who were really interested in computing knew anything about it.

It’s not just quality compared with UHD rips, it’s things like prime video refusing to play anything except 480p on a web browser… WTF are they thinking?

The issue is down to encoding performance, Nvidia performs a LOT better with comparable GPUs.

With that said, h265 is okay from what I’ve seen, but any devices you’re streaming to that use h264 and even a 1060 will stream better than a 6750xt etc

A fix that worked for me on Cyberpunk dropping in performance after that patch - turn everything to low, restart the game, then change settings back to what they were.

If you want to do any game streaming though (e.g. on Sunshine/moonlight), Nvidia is still miles ahead.

I think it depends on your setup - if you’ve got a good 4k HDR TV then by all means you could just watch then delete and it would be worth it. But yeah good point, may as well do 1080 otherwise, if you want a collection. I’ve only got 90 movies at 1080p and struggle to justify keeping more than that.

Tried it in Bali and it wasn’t that expensive at all for a cup. It tasted weird though, could tell it had the taste of something that had been digested. 4/10 if I’m being generous, the teas there were great though.

I find the best way if you’re on a budget is to have a small collection of 4k movies, with an even smaller rotation of new 4k movies - then have everything else at 1080p x265. Still want at least 8TB ideally, so down the NAS rabbit hole we go…

I’ve used vim for so many years now that it blows my mind when people act like it’s difficult to use.

The same thing with installing Arch and even Gentoo … if you’ve got good experience with something like redhat/centos and can read documentation it’s a breeze.
