Some of us still duel-boot

Calabogie, Ontario, is home to a variety of wildlife, including bears, deer, moose, otters, wolves, and foxes. This is where we used to camp, just off the logging roads, we also camped in Denbigh off the logging roads there

We used to go rough camping every weekend in summer. The 2 dogs would take off as soon as we stopped at the camp spot, mark the area and eventually come back, they were never tied out there. We never saw signs or even heard bears (they can be quite stealthy) dogs presence is a great deterrent. Glad the bears were not this smart or all our food (left on the ground) would have vanished

Ahh, thank you. Will try that as well

Yeah, I am finding I like snaps less and less, tho I do like the sandbox aspect (her grandson will be using this system from time to time so I feel some sand boxing would be appropriate). will I need to manually update her ff if its an appimage? The only appimage I am using right now is WLX overlay and other than “everything is there” I don’t recall if it will update itself.

it is Firefox(snap), she only has her account with the official site, not the steam version, I did find that wonderful script for ESO in lutris. I was just suggested gamescope to look at as well

She does close it as even on windows she found it made the system laggy, and it appears hardware acceleration is on in firefox but I think the snap is installed (thought I installed the flatpak same install on my system), every setting is the same as mine.

Oh nice, just read the page. I haven’t installed steam on her system yet as she doesn’t need it, she is running through lutris and this looks like it will work. I will definitely test this on sat when she isn’t home, thanks

I’ll need to dig deeper, but she is guarding her pc like a mother lion guarding a cub. I ran the commands - vainfo, vdpauinfo, and vulkaninfo | grep VK_KHR_video_ only vulkaninfo kicked back what it should have. I tried the same commands on my system with the same results and we are using the proprietary Nvidia driver NVIDIA driver (open kernel) metapackage 580 (proprietary, tested) only on her system it doesn’t say “device using recomended driver” so I need to find the recommended one for her but she is in the middle of minecraft and youtube and doesn’t want to reboot now, hopefully sat I can when she is at work

I was smart(mostly), tested everything on other systems, my laptop has a similar gpu, and left her an escape valve by buying a new m.2 and putting the old one in storage.

We been together 20 yrs, she trusts me. Maybe she turns into a stocking wearing cat-girl… hehe

Yes, shes been playing since launch

We are both running Kubuntu 24.04 with kde desktop. Oh, she can run minecraft and watch yt no problem. ESO is through lutris

Heading home soon, will check it. Thanks

This is welcome news. Most of my library is VR and I keep getting “similar” flat games recommended all the time. I need to actively hunt for what I really want to play and then I am presented a list, a long list, a long long list, that I get tired trying to read through.

He reminds me of Seymour Asses, saddest episode

I watch people STEP OVER a sign that states “Elevator is in service” at least 3 every time. I watch people throw GARBAGE in a battery recycling bin, every day. When I ask if it was a battery they threw in there they say no, I just saw recycling on the bin. There is a picture, 50cmx50cm, with 8 different batteries on it. Either that or literacy has dropped to near 0

I’ll see 3-5 digital ads, on my phone at lunch in 20 mins, everything else is 100% ad free. I grew up with 80s tv commercials, nothing affects me now, lol, I also haven’t had cable in, woah, 25 years Also not from the states

Thats beautiful. mines been watching me for about 5 months game and everything else. Today she is setting up ESO and the addons and may poke around to personalize her system. Bonus, as I removed her windows drive, she found some files she didn’t know she had but really wanted. Tonight we get the last bits setup. I forgot that the nvme in her system, my old pc from 5 years ago, only had a 120gb capacity I replaced it with a 1TB nvme

unless they need kernel level anticheat, the rest should work. just demonstrate how well your system runs these apps and that should help. just be ready to be their on-call tech hehe

Yeah, once the hardware issue is covered we are golden. She has about 90% of what she needs now, tonight we fix the rest, like programming the buttons on her g13. ESO and Mc installed no problem, Minion was a bit til I got flatpak going, should be fun tonight finishing it all off
