and for every one like you.

Theres people who buy multiple of the console.

One person in my family bought 4 of the Nintendo Switch. One for him, his wife, and one each for each of their two grand kids.

and they also buy multiple copies of games, so they don’t have to worry about wanting to play a game someone else is already playing.

and I would not be shocked at all if they buy at least two of the Switch 2 the second it becomes commonly available.

Its also fucked up that the switch is still 300 dollars, despite being released over 8 years ago.

What happened to consoles getting cheaper? You know their cost to manufacture it isnt the same as it was 8 years ago.

and none of it matters, cause they have literal legions of fans that will ride their ride, no matter how much it costs, no matter how poorly made it is, no matter how much nintendo spits in their face.

So Nintendo sees no significant economic repercussions from their behavior, and thus has incentive to change.

Its why I switched to Linux.

I think thats just a subset of the whole “Government should be run like a business” mindset.

Huh, yeah, Piper just isnt writing the DPI data at all. I can write it with the ratbagctl command you gave me, but if i change it in piper it just erases everything and goes back to default.

guess Im gonna try to just use my old windows laptop like someone else suggested to write settings to the mouse.

I have a old windows laptop that I can use to avoid all this complication, lol. ty everyone for the replies.

I hope that fixes the random DPI resetting, too.

Yep, cause AMD and Intel GPU drivers are in the kernel itself, to update the drivers you gotta update the kernel.

Which you can, admittedly, do on any distro… but with gaming distros (with AMD or Intel GPUs) you at least get them in your system update as soon as they are available without having to constantly check and manually update.

Which is why I try to steer people towards gaming focused distros when they want to game on linux. Just one of the many things gaming distros do to make less headache.

if you are on nvidia you might not want to be on a rapidly updating kernel distro, since their drivers are…special.

Yes.

Not to you or me, but there are tons of people, even here, that are absolutely incredulous towards the idea that its possible.

eager and tentative seem kinda feel like they are distant opposites in this situation.

Yeah, Give it a shot if you have the chance.

Worse case is you’ve given it a fair shake and still don’t like it, and thats perfectly valid.

Its not a bad game, personally I think its in the top ranks for best games of all time, but not every game meshes with every persons likes/dislikes, and its perfectly okay to just shrug your shoulders and say “I gave it a fair shot, but i just couldnt get into it”

Glad I’m not the only one with that view.

Never played BoF4, but glad its on PC and playable now… Just hope the hype makes BoF3 get the same treatment… cause my PS1 disk has a crack in it and I really miss the world that BoF3 built.

What?

are you saying we shouldnt be allowing the Saudi’s to use billions of gallons of water, to grow tons of alfalfa (one of the most water intensive crops there is) in the middle of the desert, in a drought, just so they can ship it all back home to saudi arabia to use as animal feed?

there’s still a lot of titles that require tweaking/hacking. And some just refuse to run, period.

run into that shit on windows, too. and theres not compatability layers to blame, there.

Even titles that are marked as Gold on ProtonDB sometimes crash or refuse to run randomly.

and shit doesnt crash on windows? All protons in the world arent going to fix a games inherent bugs that make it crash.

I’m not a techy, or a sys admin, or anything.

I never wanted ot think about my OS. I just want to click things and go.

Linux did have headaches when I switched. Some from my lack of knowledge, some from shit in linux just being fuckywucky. but that was many years ago.

I wouldnt say I’m any smarter today, than i was back then… but I will say Linux is so much better today than it was back then. Its reached the “it just works” stage, even for gaming, in everything I’ve tried with it. I am back to where I was on windows all those years ago, where I dont even think about my OS. I just click things and go.

I’m not so foolish to say its all sunshine and lollipops, especially with gaming, I’m sure there will always be a problem that crops up that needs a tweak/patch/config change to fix it… but honestly? Windows had that shit too. which is why I’d say, from a usability aspect, Linux is pretty much at parity with windows at this point.

And thats for gaming and shit.

if you are just a regular PC user where entertainment/email/bills/etc are all done in the webbrowser? Fuck…Linux has been good and ready for that for over a decade. My grandparents PC has run linux for over 15 years now, without nary an issue.

Nobara too.

I cant remember the last time I had to futz with anything to get a game to work, been well over a year. The games just work. Only extra step compared to windows is the one time effort upon installing steam to enable steam play and set the default proton version to experimental. Experimental has run everything for me, flawlessly, for like a year now.

I’m sure theres still the occasional, rare game that might need some tweaking/setup/patch/whatever to get going… but thats something you run into on windows from time to time as well, so its hardly a ding against linux.

I live in a neighborhood that regularly (as in, at least once, often more times a week) has people blasting concert grade speakers until like 4 in the morning, with revving cars, fireworks, gunshots, etc etc.

and thats from people who live there. no airbnbs.

Shitty people are shitty people. at least with an airbnb you have a chance at a break in the neighbors being dickheads.

Theres been only a couple times in my life where I considered an AirBnB over a motel/hotel.

Every time I ended up staying at the Hotel/Motel, because it ended up being cheaper.

I remember looking at an airbnb that was like 25 dollars a night, and went to check out… and had to do a fucking comic book double take because the 25 dollars a night (was only needing it for one night) ended up being like 250 dollars thanks to bullshit cleaning fees and other exploitative, hidden bullshit.

So if that 25 dollar a night place is now being displayed as 250 dollars a night… then I forsee AirBnB bookings plummeting.

the motel I ended up at instead was only 75 bucks all in, just as point of reference.

With technology and politics, always assume the worst.
