I recently switched my laptop to Fedora 40’s KDE spin, and like it a lot. I look forward to upgrading.

Was about to comment the same thing.

I replayed it last year on an Xbox 360 emulator, which gave me 1440p and 60 fps. It worked quite well!

I’m 40 hours into Persona 3 Reload. This is my first Persona game, and I’m enjoying it a lot. It was recommended to me after I got deeply into the two most recent Like a Dragon games, which I enjoyed immensely.

I’m having a good time with Persona 3 too. I’m playing it on easy and just enjoying the experience. I think I would have burned out on it about 20 hours ago if I was playing on a higher difficulty level and getting my ass beat in every boss fight. I wasn’t sure I would be into it with the high school setting, but that turned out to not be an issue.

I fully intend on playing it as far as rolling credits.

I enjoyed Bioshock Infinite a lot back on the Xbox 360. The whole city in the clouds but also it’s the early 20th century setting was really attractive to me, and I enjoyed it pretty much throughout. Elizabeth being an actually useful NPC sidekick that you don’t have to do endless shitty escort missions for was a great move. I don’t understand the hate it gets after a few years have passed.

These things keep getting cheaper too. I just received an RG35XX H from Aliexpress with both 64GB and 128GB Micro SD cards for a whopping $47 shipped.

Yes, I have both. The desktop is pretty beefy and runs Windows (for now) and is mostly used for games and Adobe stuff. The laptop is a Thinkpad running Linux Mint, and is my couch computer. I use it for normal web browsing type stuff, and for managing my home lab server that sits in a closet in my basement. I also play some lightweight games on it via Steam/proton.

I’m guessing it has 3GB of ram and 256MB is being eaten due to being shared video memory.

Now that gaming is effectively a solved problem thanks to Proton, Adobe Lightroom is just about the only thing keeping my desktop PC on Windows. My laptop is already running Linux. I’ve tried the FOSS alternatives but none of them fits my workflow like Lightroom. This is a me problem more so than a problem with any of these pieces of software.

Currently playing: Yakuza Kiwami, released 2016. Yep.

Same here, except on Mint. Once it becomes stable with Cinnamon I’ll be happy to use it.

The audiophile reality distortion field in effect again.

Malicious compliance. I hope the EU stomps on them hard.

Interesting - I’ll try that as soon as a 6.6 kernel becomes available in Mint. Seems like 6.5.0-21 is the newest they offer right now.

I can see the same SSID on all three bands now in wavemon, but my computer only connects to it on the 5GHz band, channel 40.

I can try that, thanks.

I have experienced this in hot weather using one of those propane-fueled things for burning weeds, with a small 1lb tank. When running it full bore the tank gets super cold and eventually can’t provide enough gas to keep the flame going until it warms back up.

Another Mint + Thinkpad vote here. I’m a lifelong Windows user who has occasionally dabbled in Linux, and Mint is the first distro that I’ve stuck with enough to consider it my daily driver. I have it running on a used Thinkpad T14 Gen 2 with an AMD Ryzen 7 in it. I still have a separate Windows desktop for gaming and Adobe Lightroom, but the Thinkpad is my everyday couch PC now. Everything worked out of the box except for the infrared camera used for face unlock type stuff, and the fingerprint reader. I got the camera set up to use the Linux equivalent of Windows Hello, Howdy, and while it does work now it’s not as fast and reliable as it was under Windows. I haven’t even tried to set up the fingerprint reader yet. I’m very happy with how well everything works in general under Linux Mint.

Not an automation guy here either but I have worked with several, and my current workplace has a big boner for Ignition, which runs on both Linux and Windows and works with their Allen Bradley PLCs. They run the whole thing on Linux VMs on VMware, with their HMIs being mostly Windows PCs, but as far as I can tell all they really need is a web browser, so you could probably use anything for that.

Ignition isn’t free but they have trial versions and a free ‘maker’ version that I can only assume has commercial use exemptions or something in it.

This is how I store my collection of randomly sized screws, nuts, and bolts.
