Scott Pilgrim EX being native isn’t surprising. Tributes previous games are also Linux native.

None the less I am happy to see it.

I grew up in the era of. PCs take forever to boot and sleep is good enough that when I turn it back on it’s still alive.

Laptop Sleep, desktop depends on when I use it last.

I have the older 7640u Framework 13.

As a coders laptop it’s fantastic. Keyboard is excellent and it’s modular port design makes it’s limited 4 port extremely versatile for your needs. Plus the 2880x1440 display is perfect for text.

As a gaming laptop. Hummm. It can play games, but the display kills performance in games. The iGPU can’t handle much more than 720p for newer games. Without using a dedicated GPU I don’t know if any other laptop can do a better job and I was able to play most indi games at a solid frame rate. However a steam deck is a better way to play games.

In terms of battery life. Left in a bag there will be some juice left the next day. With light office work I was able to get 4-6 hours on it, with 2-4 if I was gaming and the fans were cranking.

I have a bulldozer CPU, though 6300 fix I think. It was dog slow and barely performed even with my GTX 760. I got a significant performance jump when I got the Ryzen 5 1600.

If you have a AM4 platform then it’s worth the upgrade. There isn’t much to pull from AM3. And heck for the price you are better off getting another steam deck and a USB C dock and use it as a Desktop.

The processor in the Steam Deck in insane and the best performing chip I’ve used. Even my AMD powered Framework 13 is slow compared to it.

I use it since the login requirements are insane for vanilla Minecraft.

I think if there was a Linux step, it would be to remove proprietary drivers if installed then enable nouveau. If there are features missing on your new card, move back to the proprietary.

For those who say “why install proprietary”, say hello to the annoying world of OpenCL.

DVD was to make a physical media of streaming content for a relative who doesn’t use technology but wanted to watch it. This would’ve been about 5 years ago ish since we don’t see them much anymore.

CD was about 3 years ago for my car since its head unit didn’t have car play. We’ve since purchased an iPod 7th gen to do the job.

That’s not even past the prologue

The oldest I can go reliably is the late 80’s and early 90’s.

DuckTales NES, Sonic the Hedgehog Genesis, Puzzle Bobble.

Once we start getting into the mid 90*s games start to get good.

Chrono Trigger, Doom, Rayman, DK Country

According to other comments, they are supposed to be transparent… then he ate butter chicken or some food with dye.

Usually their out going ones are like half off during sales. Currently the 7 is at half off $630 CAD. Which I think is what I paid for my 6 and is the same price as the Forerunner… onsale.

That said the 7 is the newest fenix id buy now that Garmin is ditching the MIPs display for AMOLED.

Really hate that we are moving away from front lit MIPs displays. Only the Enduro has it and it’s not cheap.

It was very very onsale, and at the time I was bouldering so I wanted to track it.

Currently using it as a swim watch and if I get a new pebble, I will still be using it as my exercise computer.

I have a Pebble Time and when the app stopped working a Garmin Fenix.

I use my smart watch predominantly for Text notifications, call screening and music control.

In the past this was to extend my phone to last more than a day. But now it’s so I don’t need to dig up my phone when I get a notification or call. Great for monitoring things when you are driving or walking.

The biggest benefits of these devices is the insane battery life. Like a Garmin the battery is in weeks not hours. So charging is infrequent unlike the phone.

Pebble though is still the best in this field since their watches use epaper for their displays. So it actually works as a watch. And their devices are application focused, so if it doesn’t come with a timer, you can always download one.

Garmin watches are good, but their move to OLED pushed me away from buying another. And their locked down system makes me concerned with its future as a smart watch. As a sport and activity tracker it’s unrivalled. But I will buy a new pebble before another Garmin.

I live in a house designed by a boomer. Networking comes in the upper floor while nothing is in the lower

These power over Ethernet is the only way I can get networking down stairs.

I’d also recommend hot keying it to Carl shift wax for that authentic feeling

My story is a simple one.

I turned on my computer I logged in, did some work, played some games then I turned it off.

No one tried to murder me (force updates), or put me in a potato (notification ads), or feed me to birds (change my defaults). I had a pretty good life.

Saints row the third

& thank you

Flying car cheat in San Andreas. I don’t know what the buttons are, by my muscle memory is so ingrained that if I start it I can usually get it after 1/2 attempts. Even if I haven’t touched the games in years.

Just going to add, flatpaks have a hard time picking up controllers at least if you are using remote play. Would strongly recommend the deb
