  • It’s an odd post, but I have to admit I had the same fascination. I remember finding out that she exists when the YT video I was listening to ended and, before I got my phone out of my pocket, it had auto played some girl introducing the story of a LARP theme park I had never heard of. An hour later I was heavily informed about the tale of Evermore despite giving no shits about theme parks.

    I listened to a couple more of her essays on topics I have no inherent interest in, then took a closer look at her channel. I thought, I’ll add her to my Patreon list for awhile, I’ve gotten several hours of entertainment. Queue the holy shit when I ran the numbers.

    Sometimes people make good stuff, and then they are financially rewarded for that. Good for her.

    Edit: English better.








  • They have chosen to do so. Satellite imagery shows that more than 50% of all structures in Gaza are damaged or destroyed. At least 15000 civilians have been killed. An unknown number are wounded, or buried under the rubble. It is a clear end phase of the ongoing ethnic cleansing that has been settled policy in Israel for decades.

    Hamas lacks the resources to enact such rapid cleansing on the Jewish population as they don’t have any serious military that can face off against the IDF, even without unrestricted US aid. If they did have those resources I have no doubt they would choose to do exactly what the IDF is currently doing, possibly using various settler attacks on Palestinians as justification.

    Israel is committing genocide, Hamas would like to commit genocide. Stop picking teams when both teams are filling the scoreboard with atrocities. The people who deserve amplification are the Israeli and Palestinian civilians threatened by the activities of the military factions on both sides.


  • I am using Nobara, which is a Fedora based gaming distro. I definitely do not have to reboot for updates to software outside of system updates to the OS specifically. Updating Discord, Firefox, Steam, Heroic Launcher, Signal, etc does not require a reboot. Something sounds amiss. I am running straight Fedora on my Surface Pro and same story there, basically restart for system upgrades only.



  • I am, yes. Are you referring to the disappearing mouse cursor thing, because that’s really annoying, but I hadn’t seen any mention of it being linked to Nvidia. It seemed more Proton related. I tried several fixes I found and none worked. There was a few suggestions to switch to XOrg (?) But when I tried that I was locked at 60fps and couldn’t use VRR.

    Anyways, I’d say that’s been my most frustrating issue.


  • I’m mostly a newbie to Linux, I’ve been using it as a main gaming rig for several months and only Nobara. I hear often that AMD is hassle free, but I’m using Nvidia and honestly I’ve had no roadblocks. I started with a 2080ti and have since moved to a 4080, no hassles. There is a built in updater and it automatically downloads the newest driver packages. They are always a version or so behind the latest Windows set but meh. Switching on gSync was as simple as toggling VRR for my 144hz monitor.

    The one thing that I needed to look up was getting ray tracing running. There was additional stuff I needed to add in Steam (copy paste from the post I found), and then RTX was up and running.

    Like I say, I definitely don’t know better than the people saying AMD is a smart choice, but I don’t think people necessarily need to worry that their Nvidia system is a roadblock to switching to Linux.


  • I looked into it a bit, found a version of Fedora called Nobara. I bought a second m.2 drive and installed it. I almost never boot Win 10 anymore. The only gaming issue I have is anti-cheat not supporting it, come on Marauders, you look cool and I want to play. Also, some modding in things like TESV is a journey. Honestly though, simply using my rig feels better, faster, leaner. Gaming is great, Nobara has a setup wizard for my nVidia card as well as my XBox controller. It really isn’t hard to switch, I just thought it would be before I tried.

    There’s bugs and glitches I’ve had to troubleshoot, but whenever I find myself annoyed, I just think about how many glitches and issues I had with Windows. Nothing is perfect, but Linux gaming is pretty good.




  • I recently switched to Linux for my daily driver. I picked Nobara. It installed, detected my card, and installed drivers. Pretty straightforward. That said, performance isn’t the same. I have just been playing Elden Ring and I am getting the fps, but there’s some stutter and screen tearing even with VRR active. Also, ray tracing isn’t a default, you need to add some stuff to your Steam launch.

    Overall if you are looking to switch, get a new drive and start Linux on that. Keep your old Windows setup. At least that worked for me. Now I only boot Windows to mod Skyrim since I haven’t gotten that ironed out in Linux.
