I occasionally think back to Rocket League, which I loved in its earlier days. I put close to 100 hours into it, which is a lot for one game for me. Then they added lootboxes, leaned harder into the competitive space, and just completely sucked the soul out of it. And yet it’s still hugely popular.

I just don’t get it.

I’m so torn about stories like this and GTA online. Because on one hand, people play these games, and people won’t switch to Linux if they can’t play them.

But on the other hand, I just cannot give a single fuck about live service trash like this. I struggle to understand how people play games products like these, and I absolutely don’t understand why anyone would waste their time cheating in them. And yet they’re absurdly popular.

Despite gaming being such a big hobby for me, I feel so disconnected from what the average gamer values.

Really good, but I did have to remove the screen protector as I was getting line jitter with it on.

Palm rejection is better than I expected but not as good as an iPad.

I’ve been using a Wacom Bamboo Ink Plus. Pressure sensitivity and stuff works out of the box, no additional drivers needed or anything.

Krita is excellent.

Yeah this was the issue for a lot of the 2-in-1s I looked at. Lenovo, Dell, even Microsoft have some cool options, but they’re insanely expensive by the time you spec them to be comparable to the V3.

The 32gb ram model was $1000, on sale from the usual $1200

I was just pointing out the state of things on an up-to-date distro like Fedora as many times a newer kernel fixes stuff like this and no one bothers to update old reviews. I was already aware of the link you provided (it’s literally pinned to the top of the blog post I linked in my main post), but it’s irrelevant when I’m talking about the out-of-the-box experience. I only tried the input-remapper fix because someone pointed it out and I wanted to confirm that worked for me.

I didn’t make this post to complain about issues or ask for solutions, I’m here looking for interesting ideas and questions about this super cool hardware. This thing’s fucking awesome and I wanted to share.

I am super tempted to switch to KDE on this thing. KDE has always looked cool, but I’m too happy with Gnome on my main desktop to justify fully switching. This is seeming like a perfect opportunity for some variety…

You must be new to Linux as a whole.

lmao i am not

Just tried it, and yep, that solved that problem.

Can I get an unsweetened iced imperialism with lemon?

GrapheneOS on a Pixel 8 Pro. I’ve been super happy with it since I switched from iOS.

lol, maybe -> would’ve come across better

definitely not greater than

Google -> DuckDuckGo, sometimes fall back to Startpage if DDG has bad results

Discord -> I use Discord, but incredibly rarely. Haven’t bothered finding an alternative

Windows -> Linux, obviously

Whats App -> Signal

iCloud -> Selfhosted storage + Proton Drive

I don’t want anything like TikTok, Instagram, or the rest of them, so I don’t use those or their alternatives.

It’s insane to me that this is a hill Sony is willing to die on. So much goodwill to throw away just to collect a bit more data on users.

Just remember, if they’re willing to enforce this nonsense, you can be sure that there will be more nonsense to come. “Sorry everyone, Sony decided we need lootboxes! But our team is on the side of the players!”

I hate modern AAA games, I’m gonna go try out that new Stardew Valley update.

Just finished upgrading, all went smooth and Gnome 46 kicks ass so far. VRR is finally here!

I remember there being a bug with AMD GPUs and monitors with freesync a few kernel versions ago. It’s exactly like you said, random brief freezes.

Try updating to a newer kernel or disable freesync in your monitor settings (if appplicable).

In video, common frame rates are 30, 29.97, 24, and 23.976. (Almost) anything else will be a multiple of those. Your monitor might not actually run at 30hz * 4, it runs at 29.97hz * 4 which is why you see an option like 119.88. Sometimes that’s displayed as 120 to the user for simplicity, but in this case they’re showing the actual value (or it might support both).
