  • I see. I remember there used to be issues with Intel GPUs on linux back 10-15 years ago, but it should work without issues today.

    However, on Linux mint you do have to open the driver manager and select your proprietary graphics driver yourself or you end up with the open source one which is not always as performant (though more backwards compatible). It should have the Intel drivers in there too. In general, only the graphics drivers need to be installed by the user and everything else should be set automatically.

    And in the case they were installed, rolling back to an earlier version of the driver might also improve it. It looks like Intel has stopped providing updates to the i7-3770 since a few years back, so a later Intel driver could be causing issues.

    It should work without any choppiness in the OS itself, but it might take a bit more configuration than newer ones that generally just immediately work.


  • Mind if I ask some things? If you don’t want to try again, you can ignore this.

    Did this happen while you were trying it out on the USB, or had the installation finished and you had removed the USB and restarted?

    Were the nvidia d rivers installed in the driver manager? Was there any difference with the open source drivers?

    Was secure boot disabled in your BIOS?

    Was it a laptop or desktop? In case of laptop it might have been using battery saver mode. installing https://github.com/linrunner/TLP might have helped setting it up properly if you don’t want to handle it yourself.

    What graphics card do you have? I can check if there are any compatibility issues, though there shouldn’t be unless it is decades old, in which case you might want to try out one of the more old hardware compatibility focused Linux distros.










  • Requiring you to register with a real phone number, bothering you with logging in globally, linking your minecraft account to your entire windows PC (thank God for Linux), and introducing special features in a microtransaction-riddled version of the game is just the early middle stage of enshittification. Next comes removal of old features as more players switch to bedrock to enjoy the new special features.

    The Java edition is in the middle of being phased out. They’ve only kept it for this long because bedrock is inferior and unplayable on most devices. It may look like Microsoft kept it out of kindness, but I assure you it will be gone soon.

    The freer the movement, the harder it is for AI to predict moves.

    The smaller the field of vision is compared to the entire world, the more scouting is needed before the AI can build a large enough picture to start planning ahead, and the more it needs to rely on the ability to predict.

    Chess has a 100% visibility and very limited movement, so it makes sense for it to be easy for AI.

    But in shooters, both of these limitations are devastating. The only advantage left after this is the instant reaction time, but this feels cheap and isn’t fun for the player, so instead bots get put on A* algorithms, flowfields, heatmaps, pretedermined tracks, and shallow neural networks to determine where to go and where to look, and finally their aim skills are just intentionally set to miss at certain rates.


  • I was willing to overlook:

    • The bed costs $2,000
    • It won’t function if the internet goes down
    • Basic features are behind an additional $19/mo subscription
    • The bed’s only controls are via mobile app

    My man would have been willing to overlook having Jeff bezos himself sleep in his bed with him before realizing what was happening.
