  • I think you should really try another distribution.

    I had had long unsolvable problems with my daily driver and my HTPC.

    I had a problem while updating from Fedora Workstation 43 to 44, so I went with Fedora Siverblue. That solved a problem I had had for years where my Surface Go would be slow for no reason when hooked to a big screen.

    I had a problem on PopOS where my HTPC wasn’t able to adjust the framerate of my TV. Switching to LibreELEC solved every issue.

    All of this just to say, that sometimes you can solve an issue by switching distribution even if it wasn’t your main goal.









  • The only good side is that people are gonna replace their machines less often and that developpers might look at making games playable on less powerful hardware.

    The gamers who are really in trouble are the ones without a PC, a console or whatever yet. Or the ones with hardware on the verge of failing…

    I think it can have benefits for the gaming industry in a way.

    In such difficult times, people are still getting rid of perfectly working PC because these don’t have the requirements for Windows 11.

    My company gets us a new iPhone every 3 years when we could keep them for way longer.

    All of this can be good for Linux and optimisation, even if the situation is clearly not ideal.
