meanwhile in Personna 3:
"honey what are you playing?"
"oh just a game where I play as some high school kids that shoot themselves in the head in order to unlock their powers"
as someone who grew up in Cambridge....yeah the kitchener subreddit doesn't surprise me. I've looked at it a few times and was like "yup, that's Kitchener" I mean hell if those fuckers were allowed to commit a purge on the homeless encampent across the street from the go station they'd jump on that without a moments hesitation.
Kitchener has always been a cesspool of hate even when I was a kid in the 80s/90s. The only, literally only, reason we'd ever drive to Kitchener was to go to fairvew mall, toys r' us, or futureshop.
name me a Canadian subreddit that ISN'T run by mods that staunchly control the narrative. /r/Toronto is just as bad if not worse although leaning in the opposite direction and is one of the primary reasons why I decided to fully embrace lemmy.
the mods of /r/toronto are just so damn terrified of potentially stirring any kind of pot. Anything that is pro-palestine is quickly locked and you can't comment on it. pro israel is open for discussion. anything relating to homelessness in Toronto is also promptly locked. questions about Toronto? removed. countless photos of sunsets or rain or fog, yeah those can pass. Hell they even at one point curbed posting about any sort of crime that took place in the city.
If something doesn't paint the city in a positive light or doesn't fit the mods narrative it's removed and you're promptly banned.
yeah mine is only 4gb too. you'll be more than fine. I mean I'm on a laptop lol and pretty much every game i'm playing is on max settings pulling down 80+ fps.
sure:
cpu: AMD Ryzen 7 4800H(16) @ 4.30ghz
gpu: Nvidia Geforce RTX 3050 Mobile
ram: 16gb
SSD: 500gb
as far as Bazzite goes I lookd into it, seemed like something more for handhelds like the steamdeck. there was no live usb version so I didn't really bother to try it out.
which browser are you using on it?
just wait a bit for ublock to update their scrips/feed then it'll work again.
happens to me every now and again, at least on windows, but then I switched to linux and it just stopped happening. Hell I don't even get ads on Twitch anymore when I would all the time regardless of what extentions I used on windows.
you could always duel boot or VM for your adobe stuff.
also thanks to lemmy I made the switch from Windows to Linux and I'll never go back.
What distro did you settle on for your PC?
oh really? i'll have to check that out, thanks!
CachyOS has a pretty good development team and combine that with Plasma that has it's own development team I'd say it's in good hands. Compare that to cinnamon which is like one dude and once you get into the nitty gritty of it you quickly find how lacking it is.
One example, if you're on a laptop and use a lot of public wifi (I do for work) you deal with captive portals A LOT to connect. on Cinnamon/Mint it was an absolute headache to try and get those things to pop up and connect. It was more of a Cinnamon issue than anything else.
on CachyOS with Plasma I don't have that issue. It tells me that I need to connect to a portal and will open it and connect to it for me.
combine all that with Arch and it's just a breeze. everything you need is right here: http://aur.archlinux.org and this applies to all Arch distros. it's essentially a database of everything you can install on an Arch distro. no need to go googling stuff, it's all right there. combine this with Octopi (package manager) it makes it way better than Mint IMHO.
And if you have Nvidia you're doing yourself a deservice by staying on Mint. I think the most you can use on it is the Nvidia 535 drivers. anything above that you're going to crash Mint. on Cachy i'm on the 555 drivers and my games have easily doubled their FPS. I can play Elden Ring and Helldivers 2 on maximum settings and pull down 90+ fps. games like WoW or FFXIV i'm getting over 100 FPS. On Windows I'd get maybe 30 to 40 FPS on the exact same rig.
The main reason I switch to Cachy was because of the development team. I was also planning on checking out Nobara but again, it's one guy, so I felt more confident going with Cachy.
FF hasn't been like that since like 10. 12 to 16 is all real time combat. even the FF7 remake is real time.
