Finally a Deck rival I might actually be interested in.

Ah yes that sounds like an incredibly safe idea.

Privacy isn't a binary choice. Obviously I would love for there to be an alternative to Google Pay but no such service exists.

The most private form of payment is to use cash but that's just hugely inconvenient in 2024. Sometimes it would be nice to be able to pay from my phone when I don't have my wallet on me but custom ROMs don't allow it.

Can we just ban them entirely? Horrible cars.

I'd have rather seen Google Pay support than Android Auto though I imagine it's a lot less feasible.

What can I say? I had a laptop with Vista pre-installed and it was fine.

Vista was fine. I never had any issues.

8 and 8.1 is a shame. Best versions if Windows we've ever had.

PS3 Still Going Strong With 1.9 Million Monthly Active Users in c/[email protected]

The thing with the PS3 though is most games don't even get good performance on the original hardware. With the speed at which PS3 emulation is improving I've no doubt it will be THE way to play all PS3 games fairly soon.

I sold mine recently because of how good RPCS3 has gotten recently. My CPU isn't good enough to run it but will be one day.

I'm returning my Lenovo laptop that gave me tons of compatibility issues and getting this Dell XPS 13 instead. Thoughts? in c/[email protected]

Out of curiosity, why not go for something that supports Linux out of the box? Why stock to mainstream?

Spotify doesn't make profit from music streaming, despite having over 400M monthly active users, because it pays two-thirds of all its revenue to the rights holders. in c/[email protected]

The most popular musoc streaming service. Definitely not the best. They still don't offer lossless musoc streaming and their lossy files use an outdated encoder.

Diagnose system crash during gameplay? (feddit.uk)

I'm trying to play Horizon Zero Dawn on OpenSUSE TW but every 10 minutes or so my entire system crashes leaving me with both monitors displaying a green screen and forcing me to pull the plug on my PC. This appears to be the only game with the issue. I've tried multiple versions of Proton including GE but all suffer from the same crashes. How do I go about diagnosing the issue?

PC specs are if relevant are:

i7-4790K

AMD 5700XT

32GB RAM

2TB nvme SSD

Controller driver issues (feddit.uk)

submitted 10 months ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

Hi guys,

An interesting issue here that I wonder if anyone will have a solution to. I have quite a varied controller collection that I like to swap between somewhat regularly. My go to at the moment is the Flydigi Vader 3 Pro which is plug and play with no issues. Another controller that I occasionally like to use is the GameSir G7 and this controller doesn't work at all out of the box in Linux. To get the G7 to work I have to install xone, but in doing so the Flydigi stops working entirely.

Is there a happy medium in terms of controller drivers or am I better off just choosing one controller and sticking with it?

Sahder caching takes hours? (feddit.uk)

Hi guys.

I've finally returned to Linux gaming after a year hiatus back on Windows but currently have been unable to play anything due to Steam's shader caching. Trying to launch a game means I have to sit and leave my PC on for hours (I gave up after 2) just whilst the progress bar slowly goes up. I made sure background caching was on in the settings and even added a config file to enable more threads as I saw suggested online but after leaving Steam open overnight I'm still unable to play any games.

This wasn't an issue when I was dailying Linux a year ago so I'm assuming something in Proton must've changed?

Is it odd that I can't hold a grudge? (feddit.uk)

I legitimately find it difficult to long term stay annoyed with people who have wronged me. I have close friends and family telling me how ridiculous it is I'm still in touch and friendly with people I used to consider friends but briefly cut them out after they treated me horribly. I can see the logic and feel as though I SHOULD hate certain people for how they've been in the past but I just don't feel any anger or resentment and am quite happy to just forget the past. Is this weird and/or unhealthy?

Separate server or all in one PC? (feddit.uk)

My current setup at home is two aging systems, one gaming PC that I usually put to sleep when not using and one 24hr server hidden away in a cupboard. Both are in need of an upgrade fairly shortly and I'm just wondering if a single system would be a viable option?

I'm not hosting THAT many services really. Most are just media related that would be unused when sat at the PC gaming as it's just me that uses any of it. A strong enough CPU should be able to handle everything anything though shouldn't it?

It seems like a good idea to me but I'm no expert. Is there anything obvious I'm missing?
