    Linux Suggestion

    I was pretty deep into Windows for the last 30+ years. If we're going with the closest, my vote is KDE Plasma.

    Linux Suggestion

    Arch & Gentoo can be very useful for the adventurous learners. The Arch Linux Wiki went above & beyond with teaching me a lot.

    Looks like the ntp.service is it for him with whatever Debian-based distro he's using.

    Network time is grayed out

    Unit is just a placeholder... sudo systemctl <action like start, stop, restart, edit, enable, etc.> <option like --now, --full, etc.> <unit file like .service, .socket, .timer, .mount, .automount, etc>

    Network time is grayed out

    I would verify that ntpdate or systemd-timesyncd are running. Plus make sure that they are properly set to a preferred NTP pool like time.cloudflare.com or pool.ntp.org.

    New to me Free Thinkpad T450 running Linux Mint.. very pleased.

    EndeavourOS offers multiple DE options, so at least you can aim for what you prefer or close to it.

    Are ghiplets the next evolution stage in GPU designs?

    If a chip has 10s of 1000s of signals, how do they get around attenuation? Wouldn't there be significant feedback with so small of a space between the circuit paths?

    Ubisoft's The Crew is shutting down 31st March 2024 and will be unplayable after that because it is online only.

    I'll be really irked when they do this to The Division 1. Playing in post-apocalyptic NYC in winter is amazing.

    New to me Free Thinkpad T450 running Linux Mint.. very pleased.

    I recommend testing out EndeavourOS or Manjaro on one of your other laptops. My preference is EndeavourOS with Plasma 6 for my desktop & laptop.

    Denuvo/Irdeto "TraceMark for Gaming" Introduced at GDC 2024

    How does that work for the devs & publishers that opt-in for minimal to no DRM? It sure makes customers happy over some game hating investor.

    Linux Suggestion

    My hold up with Manjaro is when one attempts to install an AUR package & it yells that it can't find the right version of a dependency.

    Steam Deck Tips & Tricks

    My way around it was altering the Steam ROM Manager parsers after switching the app skin in settings. I always verify that I only have what parsers I want turned on & that they're scanning the right ROM directories with the proper scanning regex.
