Dear enthusiasts, please buy it so the price for the 7800x3D plummets and I can buy that one. Thanks.

According to this discussion, you can apply your Wayland settings to SDDM from the system settings.

Edit: Although some users reporting issues with it, but worth a try.

Maybe it’s just me, but I think entities that deliberately spread and use malware should be punished and held accountable. Too bad these entities help write the laws.

Do you have pci-e slots?

I had to decide between a M.2 enclosure and a PCIe card. Since I plan to build a new system (with more M.2 slots) I will have more slots in the future. And maybe I will not like the M.2 enclosure and return it. wink

Then you’d better install it from scratch and have a clean, shiny and new system.

You know how it is, I just got my system right. Of course lots of settings can just be duplicated, but I would prefer not to set up some systemd services, cron jobs, etc. again.

I love that I just download the app from the dedicated place, no pointless web surfing for the latest versions.

IMO this is a huge thing, Linux actually does a lot better than Windows. I know the Windows Store exists, but it is lacking in lots of ways.

That’s encouraging, 3ven though these models are out of my price range.

I’m planning to build a new system pretty soon. With Intel 13 an 14th Gen woes, AMD CPU releases and upcoming (Septmber) AM5 Motherboards, my planning is in constant flux.

The Ryzen 9000 series is releasing on the 15th. The 9600X might also be worth a look for $279 (according to AMD).

Edit: scratch that. The first reviews are out and it doesn’t look good for the new CPUs

The components are well balanced. You might want to take a look at PSU Cultists Tier List.

Maybe take a look at the Thermalright (Peerless) Assassin CPU Coolers. They are testing well and are very affordable.

Lastly, you should make sure your mainboard has everything you need (M.2 slots, RAM slots, …). Upgrading a mainboard is not that much money.

Witcher 3 was great even though the pacing almost lost me. I’m the kind of player who plays one main story mission and then has to complete all available side quests, before continuing the main quest. It’s the reason the only Bethesda Game I have ever finished is Oblivion.

That’s why I recommend people to stick with it and finish some main quests if you ever feel like the game loses yo.

A little PSA: buying a game just before a sale, is a legitimate reason for a refund according to their Refund FAQ

I have never played a From Software game. Sekiro is really tempting to get, because I never could see myself dodging/rolling around the big enemies and bosses. Mostly human-sized enemies and parrying sounds much more appealing to me. But the difficulty has scared me off thus far and it never went below 50% off

I bought Horizon Zero Dawn when it was 50% off. For me it was really worth it. Got every achievement for it. I plan to do the same when Horizon Forbidden West is 50% off.

It’s definitely a great game, when it reaches the right price point for you

I joined one group buy for keycaps. Took 3 years! Switched to Topre keyboards. Now I either need to buy new sliders or sell the keycaps.

Group buys are absolutely not for me.

You could check out c/datahoarder. They should be able to tell you about brands, reliability, best practices …

Discovery has always been a mixed bag for me.

I was fine with their changes to the Klingons, but disliked the emphasis of action.

I liked Pike and Spock (an Strange new Worlds), bit disliked the final battle with a million ships/drones.

I liked the jump into the future, but disliked the reason and resolution of the Burn.

I liked the threat of the DMA and its consequences, but the interpersonal relationships of the crew lost their appeal to me.

Season 5 was one of the weakest for me.

The Breen and the new XO two positives for me.

The crew, the Progenitor Tech and the search for it were all boring for me. Especially the established characters are more annoying than interesting to me.

Mol and L’ak ruined the season for me, more specifically Mol. A cross between a tantrum-having toddler and rebellious teenager, she added nothing to the plot. Her random connection to Book was blatantly manufactured and added nothing.

I actively had to stop myself from skipping scenes with her. I was close to just stop watching this season, since the rest wasn’t too compelling either. I really dislike when antagonist keep sticking around, because the heroes try saving them (from themselves). It’s okay to let a horrible person bleed to death, Michael.

I’m glad it’s over. It could have been better, but also worse. I think this season showed it was a good decision to end it now.

Roblox not runnimg is more like a feature. /s

If you got a Nvidia dGPU I recommend PopOS. It gave me the best energy options and ability to switch between iGPU and dGPU out of the box. It even found new firmware for my T480 and installed it without a hitch.

Thanks for the recommendation. Will take a look and see if the extra money is worth it.

Discovery had its ups and downs for me over the seasons. The Progenitor tech. Breen. Both interesting. Moll and L’ak and the forced connection to Book ruin it for me. I get annoyed every time Moll opens her mouth.

I enjoy shows that add personal connections into their story, but Discovery is excessive and misses quite a lot.
