  • Motorola GrapheneOS devices will be bootloader unlockable/relockable

    Jump

  • I mean, I use Bluetooth headphones on my phone most of the time, but I do still require a headphone jack as a backup. I used a phone without one for a while, and decided I need one on future phones, as well as a micro SD card (I need more than a tb of storage for my music and audiobooks).

  • Actually, a few of the Motorola phones do have headphone jacks and sd card ports, like the moto G. Which is why I'm really, really hoping those are the models supported.

  • Yep. Funnily enough, never really had any issues with the drivers on a desktop, only on mobile, mostly switching between integrated and discrete. But after messing with them on my laptop for a few years, you better bet my laptop was only running Intel integrated and my desktop runs on amd.

  • What games specifically? Some distros require a bit more driver installation, so maybe that was part of it (was running an rtx 2070 super on linux until a few months ago on linux, didn't have any issues with frame rates). The poor driver support is mostly on laptops, as they sometimes have issues switching between integrated and discrete graphics.

  • Yeah, I ran arch through college, it broke 3 times over 4 years, basically each time because Nvidia updated. Now that I don't have the time to fuss with spending a couple of hours chrooting in and fixing Nvidia stuff, I just swapped to endeavorOS sway community edition (and made sure none of my PCs have Nvidia anything in them) and haven't had an issue yet.

  • Huh, interesting. My old laptop was on x (i3wm), so I mostly had issues with that, and how the GPU would have to spin up if any of the usb c ports were being used, as they ran through the GPU (stupid design). Thankfully I don't really have to worry about Nvidia anymore, new laptop (which is actually older) only has Intel integrated (specifically wanted to get away from Nvidia) and the desktop has an AMD gpu.

  • Any issues with the GPU drivers switching between integrated and discrete? That's what I was having issues with on my last laptop, didn't really have too much else as a problem, and why I often hesitate to recommend people with laptops running Nvidia graphics to switch too quickly for that reason.

  • Eh, the install for most distros is pretty hard to screw up, just be careful about your Nvidia drivers. I've had bad luck with laptops with Nvidia in past, but actually running the game in Linux (at least from steam/proton) should be pretty seamless.

  • I think i am ready to switch from windows and need advice

    Jump

  • Nvidia occasionally can be a pain, but that is mostly in laptops in my experience, desktop drivers are generally fine. Try whatever distro you want, might wanna start by burning some distros on flash drives and booting from them to see which one you like the most. Lazy recommendations are Mint, Fedora, Bazzite, and maybe endeavorOS. Also, the most you might have to do with regards to the Nvidia drivers is install them via terminal (which for a lot of people is literally copy/paste the command into a terminal and follow what it says, usually to enter your password and y/n do you want to install), but there are a few distros that have the option to install via GUI.

  • What are some Ship of Theseus bands, where all original members have been replaced by someone new?

    Jump

  • I wanna say Lorna Shore? It's been a hot minute, but I'm pretty sure all of the original members of the band have left.

  • What advice or tips do you have which sound like nonsense but really work?

  • Also, if you're having trouble sneezing (starting but unable to fully sneeze), try looking at a light source when you start sneezing. Conversely, looking away from a light might help you not sneeze as well, but it isn't much of a guarantee.

  • Hey, guys. Is it a good idea to dunk PC parts in isopropyl alcohol?

    Jump

  • Yeah, I'm reading this, and with what I've seen it checks out. I'm from NC and my family is as well, and the number of deaths that I attribute to smoking in my family is pretty high. Even if you don't die, you often have issues either later in life or for the rest of your life.

  • Arch btw...

    Jump

  • I like endeavorOS, it's the main distro I use on my pcs. I've run arch before (with i3wm and switchable Nvidia graphics) and did for years, but honestly I don't really have the time to properly configure my systems to my liking, so the option to install the sway community edition and just tweak a few settings in the config files is very nice.

  • Would you rather?: Fully anonymous internet, but it's filled with AI Bots OR Real ID Verification but zero Bots?

  • Are these nice bots? Or just pure spam.

  • Provided you can afford it.

  • Changed my life

    Jump

  • Yep. Have been using them for years, and just recently got a small gooseneck one. A lot of mornings I can just press a button, and in about 5 min I can come back and open a ramen cup just barely, and the water gets in without spilling. Also very nice for having tea whenever you want, and even sorta stirring honey or whatnot while pouring.

  • "Exclusive offer for you, [sucker]"

    I swear, I actually went through the process and unsubscribed via their form, was soo annoyed that it didn't do anything.

    By the way, those emails are pushing their phone plans, which absolutely suck. My parents switched to save some money (sadly before I knew it), and my mother has had the most dropped calls I have experienced since they were on Sprint. Would not recommend.

  • Verge unveils 370-mile electric motorcycle with solid state battery; sounds too good to be true?

    Jump

  • The base price was 37k euro I believe. Honestly, after reading through the comments and watching the video, my "scam hackles" were a bit raised. Not to mention, it would probably be a pain to change that back tire (most bikes allow you to just take if off, but I can't see how you could do that with the way it's set up).
