Debian based distros are good, but I always had problems with the slow releases. And no idea how well that works out for GPU drivers if you plan to play new games

There is also Shizuku that might be utilized in der Future to install apps (Im just speculating here)

Well yes, but actually no.

On a more serious note, most things are available, some things are behind on updates unless you compile everything yourself (even when using the ports collection).

I haven’t used it as a desktop environment, I was just maintaining a FreeBSD server, so no idea on that end

Most VPN Providers block Port forwarding, so I’m guessing that would be the cause here.

Yes, I’ve searched and found nothing like Playnite.

I am still hoping for the cross platform feature that may be for the roadmap after the next big release

I can also recommend EndeavorOS, mostly seamless install even with a Nvidia Optimus GPU (well that one took a bit of research on what to install exactly, not that it’s easier on other distros)

I love the aspect ratio of Sony phones, It actually allows me to use it completely with one Hand, normal phones are just a bit too wide to do so comfortably.

No no, I’m sure my box of IDE Hard Drives & CD Burners will be of use to me at some point…

This reminds me of the stupid Gigabyte RGB software…

Not sure if this is till the case, but for a long time the kernel driver had a known unpatched security vulnerability. And uninstalling the software did not remove the kernel files, so now your system is vulnerable until you reinstall Windows…

And I fully expect some kernel level Anti-Cheat to be no better in this regard.

I’ve been experimenting recently and while most games run fine and VRR & HDR & Multimonitor somewhat work after some experimenting & tweaks I still have problems with a few games.

Some recent examples would be Noita stuttering and running in slow motion. Getting anything from Ubisoft running (when it does run it runs great though). And modding is very hit & miss.

If Dual Boot with windows (especially if running Bitlocker) wasn’t such a PITA I would likely use Linux as my main OS.

I’ve been playing Elden Ring with the Seamless Co-op mod with a few friends, it’s been a blast so far.

I picked up Starsector again this weekend and having a blast with a modded playthrough.

Do you know what model AiO you have? Some models report pump speeds as higher since they have multiple magnets triggering the RPM sensor, so the 1600 might actually be 800 or even 400, which is way too low for the pump.

I would try setting the pump (and AiO fan) to 100% speed in the Bios for testing. Some pumps work well with a fan curve, some don’t.

Edit with more technical details: Normally each revolution should generate 2 Pulses on the rpm Feedback wire. But Pumps don’t always follow this spec so might over or underreport their actual rpm.

Thing is you can have a single page app that still works with middle click, depending on the framework it’s mostly automatic or some config for the router.

At least that’s what I can say from my experience building a single page app, but considering I’m using new tabs extensively I did have some bias to make it work.
