If you have to know… Mostly Skyrim as of late . Been thinking of doing some questionable content at some point with a few friends

I have 2 PCs

my main one is full AMD running hyprland -5800X, 7900XTX, 32GB ram, etc.

My second PC is solely used for streaming and is running an old GTX 1070 for encoding purposes.

From what I can see, I’ve not really had any issues running hyprland on it. Though I will admit it doesn’t do much beyond running Carla, OBS, Qpwgraph, Firefox, discord and jack_mixer on specially designated workspaces. And it streams soley via EVGA Xr1 Lite capture devices. It does have desktop-portal-hyprland, just in case I want to capture my stream PCs desktop, but I don’t really use it much. It’s connected as a second input to my secondary monitor, and has a mirrored display on a small touch screen so I don’t have to swap monitor inputs too often, and can trigger scene changes with just a touch. The hardest part was getting the monitors to play nicely, as the touchscreen sits upside down.

Full specs of my second PC, as it’s quite old - Intel Core i5-4690, ASRock H97M pro4, 16GB Ram, EVGA GTX 1070, Intel 120GB SSD, 1TB WD Green 5400rpm HDD.

It’s like the XP olive theme with the vista/7 style widgets sidebar - all you need is the RPM style CPU usage gauges.

Good point, I might have to check that.

I plan to get a second dock for it, and use it in place of a stream deck for when I stream.

Then it will be serve these purposes for me

• TV Media PC (my first dock is connected to my TV)
• Gaming Handheld
• Stream Deck
• A productivity “laptop” in a pinch - I don’t own a real laptop and don’t see a need to get one

(replacing the tired old barely adequate first gen raspberry pi+touchscreen I was using until a few months ago)

Hey, that counts in my book!

Factorio

I just bought the JSAUX one - the one with the stand.

Hmm by that last link it looks like sync isn’t on the list of whitelisted sites. Granted, it’s not a site, but an app. Seems like we need some kind of authorisation.

Factorio - but I tend to flip between both pads and sticks

I finally switched to AMD on my main desktop. Holy crap does it just work. I went straight for hyprland over my previous XFCE based desktop.

I enjoy tinkering so having some programs that just work and some that need a little push is great for me. Gaming is pretty easy these days - games that straight up don’t run I just don’t buy, and protonDB or even the proton issue tracker and wineDB for tips and tricks.

However with DEs I tend to set one up, and keep it how I set it up. I had XFCE for a total of 3 years with no changes. Hopefully I can do the same with Hyprland. I usually only try a new one when reinstalling Linux.

In a same but more drastic vein, you’d have to chop me up and shit In my corpse before I switch back to windows on my home PCs, it’s bad enough I have to use win10 at work imo (I ain’t installing win11 there untill I’m forced to)

Fork it on a different platform - GitLab or something like it - we really should diversify our code repos. Microsoft has too much power with GitHub

Android or some other Linux based os on iPhone hardware anyone?

Got curious as to what it would recommend me … first choice…

Arch.

They’ve got me in a box here - I haven’t switched from arch in like 3-4 years now. In fact my configuration is mostly stagnant. I just use Pacman/yay to keep it mostly up to date. But otherwise it’s a complete mess.

The question is, what brand? Duracell?, Eveready?, Energizer?

Oh my pkcell…

Nor the cash to increase the bandwidth capacity to do so.

At one point it was the top dog - this was before google was even in the browser market mind you. Then they entered and used a lot of… Shall we say interesting marketing practices to usurp firefoxes dominant position - it wasn’t all due to chrome being better.

If you’re the only one who has that issue, or it’s very uncommon, then it’s more likely a software or hardware configuration issue or some corruption on your systems part.

Just saying this, when I used to run windows, weird bugs like that as a cue to do a complete reinstall of windows. Usually would fix every problem I’d been having with every app to date.

Even now deleting everything associated to Firefox and reinstalling the app would probably fix it. The other thing to do is to keep an eye on the behaviour of your browser after installing extensions. Sometimes extensions themselves can cause weird problems.

I would only count the ones that aren’t locked down and you can get into the Linux kernel and root user.

That said the low specced laptops might as well be large size mobile phones.
