Unless you go once near a beach and a single grain of sand gets past the airtight bag the phone was in and the Totally-IP67-We-Swear phone chassis and is fucking destroys the screen from the inside, with a repair bill worthy of a new phone because “that kind of damage is not under warranty”.

And after aaaaaall you’re my terminaaaaaaal

That’s what I love about my ‘23 Yaris. The entertainment system is basically a radio and hybrid telemetry. Everything else is CarPlay/Android Auto. No shitty outdated maps, no 90’-style MP3 player…

gestures!

Still the reason that 20+ years later the second thing I install on any browser is a gestures extension (the first one is always uBlock Origin, obviously).

Seconded, I moved my gaming rig is on Bazzite and has been trouble free and maintenance free ever since.

I installed Bluefin on the laptop I gave my father, and it’s been happily running trouble-free every single day since August without a single intervention. And my father is the kind of man who can conjure up unknown bugs, weird failures and random crashes by simple hand contact.

Thanks!

It won’t answer all of your answers, but it should at least give you a good primer on what distros are and what are the main key takeaways.

Seconded. I recently moved my gaming rig from Nobara to Bazzite because this machine is only occasionally booted, and I don’t want to spend the little time I have available for gaming doing maintenance instead. Except from a mounting error for my secondary drive that I made (bc after 20+ years on Linux I still can’t be arsed enough to learn how to fstab), I was in Cyberpunk 2077 in less than 5 minutes.

Pros:

• Easy setup, everything works out of the box
• A lot of preinstalled gaming-related packages and tweaks, plus a lot of QOL improvements over Silverblue/Kinoite
• Ready to game as soon as it’s installed
• No updates, no maintenance! Full system images are downloaded and installed in the background and are applied at reboot.
• Immutable so “impossible” to fuck up.
• uBlue projects are not distros but a delivery system, all the work is actually done by Fedora. No risk associated with a single-maintainer project like Nobara.

Cons:

• Immutable so “impossible” to fuck up.

Pro tip: don’t keep your Steam games on a Windows partition. They won’t launch.

Must know Jira, Python, Snowflake, dbt, how to find the will to live.

No mistakes allowed.

I replaced the idiotically loud motherboard fan with a 24V 40/10 Noctua. It needs slightly longer screws than the stock ones but otherwise it’s a drop in replacement. Noise levels are much more acceptable now.

Haha thanks !

I would like to say I’m used to fstab too but honestly I barely have to use it once every five years 😅

The issue was indeed from the fstab. But it was because exec was specified before users.

The games crash long before launching proton. I suspect something is fishy in the runtime or even before that.

Worst case scenario, I have to nuke this drive and start over. I’ll keep digging tho.

Good call. I’m seeing some stuff I don’t like, I’ll investigate tomorrow.

99% of the time, if a game “should run fine” and nothing happens, it’s because it’s installed on a Windows partition (NTFS or exFat).

Try moving it to a Linux partition.

If it still doesn’t work, you can start advanced troubleshooting.

I had to swap the stock fan for a Noctua since it was unbearably loud, adjust the volumetric flow and spend some time adjusting the Z-offset. I should also tension the belts a bit but it looks super non-trivial.

The SV08 has been out since at least summer. I’ve had mine since September and I’m super satisfied with it. It is not a beginners machine however, there are a couple of mandatory tweaks and upgrades to make it usable. Nothing unsurmountable but having modded the shit out of my Ender 3 helped a lot.

Unless most “relevant” answers point to a Microsoft help forum with shit answers.

I have to use windows for work and I hate this bullshit.
