Personally Bazzite for htpc, and PopOS for main desktop for the exact reason

Guaranteed this was some idiot committee decision based on whatever hear they have today. They probably have zero idea what Linux is or that their entire infrastructure runs on it. In fact, if they were asked what Facebook uses I am sure they would say “we all use Macs!”

Plugging it in may give it more power, but doesn’t triple the CPU power.

Video editing requires heavy amounts of cpu, ram, and is detailed enough where you would want a large monitor with keyboard and mouse most times.

Deck is great for a lot of things, I would say this is not one of them. Can you do it? Sure, you can cook an egg on the back of it while you render for 36 hours. Should you? Probably not.

PopOS for me and with this repo I was able to play a few games without any issues yesterday

Seconded. I went down the dark path of trying to hook up each emulator and it was pain. RetroArch made it so much simpler. (OP it’s not just for Arch, I learned that too late)

It’s not about the messaging - the money flowed through OF. That’s the illegal part, OF allowing money to transfer through them for crimes makes them complicit. That’s why FinCEN is involved.

• Person A wants to buy something illegal from Person B.
• Person A cannot send money directly to Person B, as it leaves a paper trail/it may be illegal/sanctions/there are also lists of known bad actors
• Person B tells Person A to instead buy <<some product>> on a random site, in this case OF
• Person A buys the product, money flowing to OF, looks like a normal transaction
• Person B receives money from OF, also appears to be a normal transaction, and there is no direct link between A and B except hidden behind the scenes through OF’s bank account (which has millions of other transactions, none of them linked)

Finance has rules about keeping logs about what money was transferred from who to who, why, when, and for what. If those logs are not meticulous and precise, they will come in and shut you down. In this case we see Visa and others also get wind, they want nothing to do with feds coming in and shutting them down (remember if they’re aware of it and allow it to continue they are also liable), and that’s how we get here.

Source: I worked FinTech at an exchange for several years, and we were sued by multiple agencies for things we weren’t even aware of (years after they even happened). If you want to pay people out through your system, first hire a team of lawyers.

These scripts made it super easy! I had a couple issues, but the troubleshooting at the bottom already had both of them covered and I was up and playing in minutes!

A good writeup, but the wrong conclusion. I used exFAT for a while for my secondary drive. It has nothing to do with what your primary drive is, but exFAT’s hard limitations. The largest of which is that as you assumed, exFAT does not support symlinks which in gaming is extremely important. That’s why reformatting to ext4 worked.

Money laundering is incredibly complex now, but it’s still pretty dang hard to hide, especially if you’re a credit card company with just a metric shitload of data with a ton of available compute to find it.

I think the important bit isn’t necessarily that they were hosting content, but funneling money - which is an important distinction. The content may not have been hosted there, but the money was still being funneled through there to pay for illegal content.

An analogy, occasionally you see something make the rounds from facebook marketplace. “Half eaten mcdonalds sandwich. $600”. Everyone laughs and says how stupid is that - but is it? Or is it a completely legal transaction if someone buys it. It’s just that what you don’t know is that on another platform they were asking to buy drugs, and said “To transfer the money go buy the half eaten sandwhich on FB”.

If FB knows that’s happening and doesn’t stop it, that’s on them because they’re allowing money laundering to happen.

OF in this case probably didn’t even host any content - but they probably knew that money was being funneled for other activities and it’s on them to stop it. Take it as a lesson folks, if you let money flow through your site (even a completely above board site) between two parties - you’re at risk of something like this.

Very very neat. Is there a list of games that support dlss but not fsr?

Just CDs? Pretty much any of them

I used mint a bit a few years ago, for first timers who need gaming I’d say yes. Idk if Mint does but the pre-baked in NVidia drivers made it extra easy for me.

I’ve never used arch or manjero, but I’ve used Ubuntu, Fedora, Bazzite, and Pop, and Pop has been the best for me for a desktop experience. Definitely for people looking to switch it’s the least intimidating

So you wouldn’t recommend this on a long flight? Is there something that could extend the battery?

I’d say also it depends on the franchise. Depp rock? Be a funny space dwarf yelling rock and stone? Hell yes imma do that with some friends.

God of war? No. Much more serious tone, I want to do that alone to explore the narrative

Saving this, thank you for the recommendation. Usually the decks battery is fine for a mid distance flight, but some of the longer ones I find myself being tethered to seat power, which usually is a loose outlet that the plug regularly falls out of. Having a second charge would … well, take me twice the distance

This is the most logical
