There are a few questions you need to answer that impact the specs.

What resolution will you be using for your monitor, 1080p or 2k or 4k. If you are 1080p gaming then you really do not need the latest and greatest.

Do you want to pay extra for a “future proofed” machine. I think buying future proof is a meme the stuff lasts so long especially on linux.

Do you want to pay extra for a smaller case and smaller parts.

What games do you want to play? Sim games require a decent CPU everything else you can get away with the lowest end CPU and its fine. 5500 5600 and 5600x are solid value AM4 cpus. If you have money for future proofing you can look at am5 CPUs.

For gpu ifyou are 2k or 4k gaming 9070XT is the best value card on the market right now.

For 1080p the 3060 or 3060it is a solid card at a solid price. Dont worry about nvidia compat its fine. It takes a single line pasted into the terminal to get the drivers and most distros have a GUI tool to get them if you dont want to do that.

As for distro it really doesnt matter, they all use mostly the same tools and software. Bazzite, fedora, Ubuntu are good places to start. If you want a “gaming” OS, cachyOS, nobara, pika have been optimised.

For specs that are important, if you need WiFi its nice to get a motherboard that has WiFi on it. Nvme ssd drive 1tb or 2tb is really nice.

Consider picking parts and building it yourself you will learn about how it goes together and fixing it will be much easier. You’ll also have a lot more freedom for customisation and part pricing. I had a friend who is not technical at all build a PC and he said it was quite easy he just followed a video from linus tech tips. Took a few hours.

What’s games are you looking at playing and what computer tasks? If its all fps then only GPU matters. If its sim games you’ll want a decent CPU.

On one hand I’m happy its dead because paradox deserves this. But on the other hand I spent $80 on this and I really thought it had the base to be an amazing game.

Nah i think its fine. Let the nerds test water for viruses.

Tarkov needs to stay alive to contain the worst of the community away from arc raiders.

Got to protect users from someone doing script assisted kick flips

The drama was so minor 99.99% no longer care

SteamOS 3 is arch based but that doesnt mean its anything like arch. It builds from a snapshot of arch and ships that to users as an immutable. So it will be extremely out of date compared to arch.

I enjoy this guys videos but he says “I wrote task manager” way to much. We get it bro you wrote task manager save some pussy for the rest of us.

It does nothing and has been broken for a long time. It can be used for hotkeys but there are none that I use. I only want it to open the start menu. Yes i know I can easily bind it in KDE plasma hotkey menu but i havent gotten around to it yet.

Sad, another project killed by Mozilla.

TVs are all 4k though. 1080p looks like shit on 4k screen.

Nah they have one for checking passwords in breaches. The only password manager they have is the one built into Firefox and thats great but i want one for my phone when i log into apps.

This is so sick. I wish the console was more powerful and didnt rely on fsr for 4k preformance. I’d love to get my hands on that vr headset.

I dont clear cookies but i run unlock. Accounts last a long time. Ive had one for a while because i spent my time on Lemmy these days. I dont comment on reddit much anymore. Just use it to view. Check your DMS you can habe the account.

If the VPN has a ton of bad traffic coming from it then you’ll get banned. Any free VPN will 100% get you cooked. But i can create an account on the paid proton VPN servers with no issues.

After a month I’ll stop being careful and use my home IP

Because after I got banned for something so minor I was pissed at reddit and kept I being rude to comments and posts that were shit.

You know how you see the same reddit opinion over and over and over even though its completely incorrect. Or see posts that are so obviously false or rule breaking. I’d just be rude as fuck in my reply tone, not breaking any rules but still would draw bans.

The ones I hated the most were am I the asshole posts where they clearly weren’t. Like “am I the asshole for being abused by my parents”. Same with firecape posters in the old school runescape subreddit.

You are going about it the wrong way. The ban evasion is not as sophisticated as you make it out to be. Put a VPN or mobile data and create an account with a normal email. Use a normal web browser like firefox. Thats all. Ive been banned like 60+ times. Once you make the account dont comment for a few days and ease into it.

Using tor, vpns, etc makes you stick out. Commenting a ton and being super active makes you stick out. They aren’t detecting that it was YOU they banned they are just banning you because you are acting suspicious and botlike.

You can use bin packages and compile certain things where you’ll get preformance. It would be good to have a kernel optimised for that hardware cause you need everything you can get.

You could compile on another PC and but you’d miss the -native optimisation.

For my Chromebook I did a bin kernel then compiled everything else and did bin Firefox. I tried compiling the kernel but ran out of disk space cause only 10 gb of space available.

Good update.

I’d like to see Firefox password manager be separated from the browser. Using a browser password manager just sucks because it doesnt work outside the browser. The sync is good enough to make me happy paying$1 a month for.

For tab groups they need to add the ability to auto move certain sites into the group the ai suggestion sucks and it doesnt autocollect tabs so its pointless.

For containers I’d like to see them add a default container to open with.
