If that’s how TFTs worked we wouldn’t have vsync settings in games.

Good to know. We initially set that network up well over a decade ago so my knowledge isn’t exactly current.
You could try Tinc but it’s fairly involved to get running. Pretty nice if you have a root server and want to get several people wired up, though. There are probably easier solutions for your use case.
Yep. I run Garuda and the main pull is that it’s a more user-friendly Arch with a lot of stuff I want to use preinstalled. I don’t really care about how XTREME it is or whether I might potentially get 1 FPS more.
All other things aside, which Logitech mouse are you talking about? Both my G Pro and my G 305 work out of the box. Logitech also advertises them as ChromeOS compatible and AFAIK the Logitech wireless dongles are USB HID compliant so seeing a Linux straight up refuse to interact with them sounds very weird.
Android already does that, no AI required. Some fairly simple math is enough.
The device first charges to 80% and holds there. It also calculates how long it will need to charge from there to full and when it will need to resume charging so that it will hit 100% just before the next alarm goes off. Then it does that.
Also, Ubuntu is moving towards using snaps for everything so they’re pretty much the successor to PPAs.
Mostly yes but there’s one other option that simplifies the whole thing: Chromebooks. They’re actually pretty decent for someone who doesn’t need much beyond a browser, a mail client, and a basic office suite.
Sure, they’re tied to Google with all that entails but they can be a real option for someone like a senior who relies on relatives for tech support.

I’d love to but on my gaming rig Wine/Proton will absolutely refuse to install the Visual C++ runtime, making me unable to play most games. On another, virtually identical, Linux installation it works without issue; in fact, I have fewer weird issues like a game randomly not connecting to EOS.
I consider it karmic justice for buying Nvidia; that’s the major difference between the two systems.
(Update: The latest Wine version seems to have fixed this. I’m certainly not complaining.)
How about autoscrolling shmups where you don’t die after every hit and get to upgrade your ship between missions?
The oldschool entry in this niche would be Tyrian – released in 1995, made freeware in 2004, then ported to modern OSes.
2004 was also when Jets’N’Guns came out. It looks more modern, has a quirky sense of humor and a badass metal soundtrack. It also has a sequel.
Both games can be found on your (PC) digital marketplace of choice.
When AMD introduced the first Epyc, they marketed it with the slogan: “Nobody ever got fired for buying Intel. Until now.”
And they lived up to the boast. The Zen architecture was just that good and they’ve been improving on it ever since. Meanwhile the technology everyone assumed Intel had stored up their sleeve turned out to be underwhelming. It’s almost as bad as IA-64 vs. AMD64 and at least Intel managed to recover from that one fairly quickly.
They really need to come to with another Core if they want to stay relevant.
To be fair, he also had an eye for good product design. Not the skills to implement it but the ability to see whether a design is good.
Of course he expressed this skill by yelling at his engineers and designers. A lot. Because he was an asshole.
Not even very surprising. The dark and/or broody scenes tend to be a lot less serious than they look. To give an example I saw: At last year’s Wave Gotik Treffen (a huge goth event) there were plenty of posters for broody bands – and in between them there was one for the German Hevisaurus spinoff advertising their new song about bubblegum.
And then someone went around and put googly eyes on all the posters. That’s also pretty on-brand for the scene.
I actually went back to a light gray theme for my new Linux machine after I’ve been stuck with Windows’s options of “flat pure black with hairlines” and “flat bright white with hairlines” for too long.
I don’t actually need dark mode that much (except for coding) if a bright mode theme is easy enough on the eyes. Windows 10 is just so ugly that only the dark mode is halfway palatable.
If only the old themexp.dll hacks still worked I could have a decent looking desktop on all of my machines…
Ugh. I just finished dealing with what turned out to be a simple configuration problem that took me three days because the tool’s documentation sucked. Turned it in feeling bad only to hear that four other devs had previously failed to get it to work.
One important lesson on life is that everyone is bumbling around all the time. (Like me with autocorrect in the first version of this comment…)
True. It’s just the automated transfer that doesn’t work.
I didn’t bring up F-Droid’s very existence as an argument because iOS also allows a form of sideloading these days. Android still makes it a lot easier but Apple isn’t entirely out of the loop anymore. Baby steps, I guess.
I’m the spirit of fairness I will nitpick you.
Firstly, porting apps over between Android devices works seamlessly only if those apps come from the Play Store. Android has no provisions for auto-transferring e.g. F-Droid and its apps. So it’s no wonder you can’t transfer your iOS apps (which might not even have Android versions). But it is true that auto-transfers of Play Store apps between different Android spins is seamless.
Secondly, whether and how easily you can modify or replace your Android is dependent on the phone’s manufacturer. A Pixel is a very different beast from an Xperia in that regard. Still, Google do provide AOSP and are very mod-friendly on their own devices. Apple very much aren’t.
Then again, those 100 MB are usually mostly assets I want to look at or listen to. Certain websites contain 100 kB of text and pictures I want to look at and load 2 MB of JavaScript frameworks that add nothing to the usability of the site. Bonus points for automatically streaming a 20 MB video I don’t want to watch while I look for one sentence’s worth of information.
Dust. Dust never changes.
