I’m all for competition in the market and knew enough to be able to fix any problems I ran into on windows, but linux is a whole different beast. It’s the first intel product I’ve bought since my first CPU in 2012

Yeah I got the arc card ages ago before I thought I would ever go to linux, then a buddy of mine started daily driving linux, so I got a resource to to go to for help lol. I’m just waiting on black friday to switch back to amd now

Arc is actually decent on windows, but the combination of linux and arc is less than ideal

I’m in the double minority of linux and intel arc. It’s… less than amazing

I feel that pain in my soul! Sometimes my settings get applied, sometimes not, sometimes integrations work, sometimes not, sometimes the app updates properly, sometimes it breaks itself so windows doesn’t know it’s installed and won’t run it, but the installer thinks it’s installed, so it won’t repair it so I have to delete fucking anything I can find from icue, reinstall it, uninstall with revo, and then reinstall fresh and import all my saved profiles, which only sometimes work. Why the fuck is iCUE so goddamn shitty?!

I’ll have to look into that. Thanks for the info!

I had heard of CKB next, but I thought it was a general purpose RGB software. Good to know!

Yeah I don’t expect to get all the functionality in one piece of software, so I’ll have to cobble it together. Of course, icue depends on the .net framework so it’s not getting ported, and the other 2 just don’t have an official native linux app. Jack mixer is my current target for voicemeeter, but I have to start researching the others at some point.

As someone who understands windows fairly well, but until recently couldn’t use the command line to save my life, I started dual booting Ubuntu and it’s pretty easy to figure out once you understand what you’re looking for. Only things I’m still trying to get running are alternatives for the stream deck software, iCUE, and voicemeeter, but I havem’t really invested much time into them yet.

Because the point of an election is to determine who has the best body language. You heard it here first folks

Depending on what you’re planning on going into, don’t lock yourself into going to university. My wife spent 3 years of half course load at university while working in the same field she was trying to study in and didn’t get her degree, or actually get into the faculty she needed for that degree. She is now 5 months from her degree after spending a year and a half at college in a workplace program. Academia is disgustingly bloated and “you have to prove you want to be here before you can go into what you actually want to learn” for certain disciplines. College is a perfectly good, or better option depending on what you are going into.

I would refer to that as thickness, but I’m not a jeweller. My advice stays the same though, try some on and see what you like.

My wedding band is ~8 mm and i’ve never worn a ring less than 4 at its narrowest point. I would say just find something you like the look of, and see if you can find something at a jeweller that’s similar you can try on if you’re that worried about the fit.

My ADHD ass is stuck in learning mode. Learn everything. Retain nothing.

On a personal level, fuck that guy. Spat on a guy I went to school with because he didn’t like the result of a shoe shining.
