As someone who has been using Manjaro Linux as a main OS on multiple systems for the past couple years, you guys are making me really curious about CachyOS.

Wait, what?! Are there motherboards that have this?! Huh, well I certainly learned something new today... and I've been doing this sh1t since the 90s. That is a better name than what all the variations of USB3 actually have.

That was a very long time ago, back when they used to ship CDs with their magazine issues that included game demos and whatnot.

Wow I must be blind, cuz I checked and didn't see that. Thanks for the heads up.

Should also be able to do it with GParted.

What are the prices for DKC TF and Sonic SuperStars? I don't see them listed.

Same.

That's my go-to as well.

Two of my friends got 2.7 GHz outta theirs. I only got to 2.4 GHz cuz I was too much of a pussy to play around with the voltages. We were all using the insanely beefy stock cooler, and the heatspreaders were still on. Still got my Opteron 165 chillin' in its box on my desk. The nForce 4 board it...

That is exactly what happened to me.

I lost my RatPadz GS many years ago, but I still have my RatPadz XT, and it is still in excellent condition. I'm definitely in for at least two more RatPadz if Kyle makes more!

This. Use the Secure Erase tools provided by your SSD's manufacturer. If you want to wipe an SSD, this is how you do it.

Same exact deal with me. Not only caused me headaches, but hella eye strain and eye fatigue. It would fuck with my eyes something serious. 75Hz was my bare minimum, but I was usually around 85Hz or higher.

Decades later that shit has never stopped being a pain in the ass.

Got me good too, and I almost blew the fuck up at 3 in the morning! I had to stifle my laughter as much as possible, so now my ribs and abdomen hurt!

And has been for a long time.

You said it.

If I recall correctly, it was in Ecuador, and this was back in the PS2 days.

What about volcanic ash? I had a friend that had to deal with that. He said it ruined his PC and his consoles.

Not to mention a completely different number of pins.

Hardly. Valve's Proton is waaaaaaaaaaaay better than the Game Porting Toolkit, and makes Linux much more of a gaming OS than macOS could ever hope to be. But gaming on Macs is definitely in a much better place than it used to be.

Not to derail the thread, but: What's your problem with AppImages? I didn't even know Windows had a package manager until a couple years ago.

You don't know how long I've been waiting for Wayland on nVidia. I haven't tested with the new beta driver, but I'm just happy we finally got to this point.

It varies from song to song, but most FLACs I have ripped from CDs range from mid-to-upper 700 Kbps range to almost 900 Kbps. I don't pretend to know even the slightest thing about audio, but I think the highest you'll see FLACs go is probably the 900 Kbps range. Most of the ones I have...

A friend of mine retired his X470 system and gave it to me. Has a 2700X in it. Was thinking about Black Friday/Cyber Monday for 5700X3D or 5800X3D, but why wait with a price like this? Unless y'allz think it might go even lower this November...

Ironic this news shows up after I recently played through one of the native PC ports of Super Mario 64 (which resulted from decompilation). The one I used was Super Mario 64 Plus, which is most excellent indeed. Would love more games to get that kind of attention. So yeah this recompiler stuff...

I use this to rip CDs to FLAC: https://www.exactaudiocopy.de/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exact_Audio_Copy

Convenient if you wanna launch them through Steam, but standalone Aleph One is still available, as it has been for many years: https://alephone.lhowon.org/ And yeah, the Steam versions are from the Aleph One crew.

And that goes all the way back to the very first Spyro game. Insomniac has been hitting it outta the park for a good long time now.

A friend of mine has been using NixOS and having a blast. I think it's actually his main OS now! It does sound quite interesting. I'm gonna have to give that one a look myself.

Well there were 4 main games on PS2, and the first game got a remake for PS4 in 2016 (which started the current reboot timeline), of which Rift Apart is a sequel to. The first two PS2 games were okay (I actually didn't care for the first one, but the 2nd one Going Commando got me into the...

Classic R&C. I usually save my NG+ runs in R&C games for a few years later, grabbing stuff I missed the first time through. Rift Apart I got everything on my first playthrough though. Some R&C games, like Deadlocked, I have been through NG+ mode many times. Most R&C games I've been through...

That's how I been rollin' for a few years now. In the 2000s and 2010s it used to be that Windows was my main OS and Linux was my "fucking around/testing" OS. But a few years ago I switched. Linux is my "everything except gaming" OS (and sometimes gaming too), and then I keep Windows around for...

Was never able to get Wayland working on GTX 1080 Ti or RTX 3090. I should mention I am on Plasma 5. The best I can get is a low-res display, but there's A LOT of graphical issues. Been a while since I last tried it, so I can't give you specifics at this time. I can use Wayland fine on my Intel...

https://www.phoronix.com/news/Explicit-GPU-Sync-XWayland-Go "...notably takes care of a number of NVIDIA driver problems on Wayland in the process." "NVIDIA is also expected to have out a new Linux binary driver release soon for ironing out their Wayland support with explicit sync...

I've been playing the R&C games since the first one on PS2, and I played Rift Apart on PC with a controller. But after I beat the game, I messed around with keyboard + mouse controls just to see what they were like. They work out surprisingly well, mainly because of the game's...

I was gonna recommend a similar iFixit kit. This one will do just fine.
