Ahhh, more corporate stacking I see. Yeh, I've seen this one before, it doesn't end well

More competition is always nice, but not if they're only building their own OS backbones. For linux mobile to be viable, it's gotta be a team sport on the software stack

If the kernal edge is 6.13, why are many popular distros like mint still shipping with much older builds? (6.8 in the latest mint released yesterday)

Should be mandatory public health warnings on all tabloids, like cigarettes. Just as bad for your health, probs worse

Just finished a first attempt at a pilsner urquell clone, will see how it turned out in a few weeks. Looking to do a cheats kriek (cherry) if anyone has a solid recipe to recommend

Hey looks, it's Magic the Gathering

Thanks, that's useful, I think it's convinced me to finally switch

How do you find it as a daily driver in terms of QoL features such as banking apps and payments etc?

I think that's the final nail in the coffin for me. I don't wanna play pop culture soup, I wanna play magic. Im out.

They're just mean via proton, which tbh is fine. Everything works great through proton.

My only gripe is pretty straight forward: the cost to play.

I LOVE draft, but have been unable to play it on Arena due to the high cost of entry. They allow standard play for free, but paywall draft. I know I can technically grind dailies to get enough gold, and then if im lucky enough and win enough I can earn enough back to chain another draft, but this is eventually a losing game, a bit like a slot machine.

I just have zero interest in grinding standard, and refuse to pay almost as much as physical draft for non-tangible, digital version. It feels very predatory.

 

I'm using a windows partition for PCVR to a Quest 3 via steam. Some games seem to struggle despite a pretty beefy card (6750 XT).

My question is whether using adrenaline is a good idea with VR? It doesn't seem smart enough to realise im using VR when it's running, instead choosing settings which match my monitor, meaning it's picking the wrong up scaling and other settings for my headset. Do most people just disable this software, or are there settings which help VR?

 

Does anyone else not draft as much as you would on arena because of how expensive it is?

For a casual drafter that just wants to play around with the new set for maybe 1 or 2 drafts a week, the cost feels so ridiculous I just don't play. I would love to draft MKM but I cant justify the cost to simply play a digital card game. With so many other ways to monetise the game via cosmetics now, it would be nice of WotC to ease up a little and make drafting more free-to-play friendly.

The topic of UB is continuing to create controversy as the number of non-Magic IP products explodes. The Professor put out a recent video on the topic predicting a future Universes Within product to make up for all the unique UB cards being added to the mix, but looks like MaRo has quickly shut that idea down.

What are players who don't like UB supposed to do when there are no Magic versions of those cards? This is now just reality.

 

It seems the only way now is to navigate to the community you want to post it, and menu>post. Is there a way to add a post button on the bottom bar perhaps, then have a post screen with a community selection? If not, might be a cool idea for future maybe if enough people think that would be useful. Cheers

 

I saw an article about a blue cheese beer by some US brewer. Got me thinking, I wonder that this would go? Anyone have an idea how to achieve this? I can only presume throwing some blended cheese into the fermenter would just cause a yeast infection.

 

My friend and I have spent far too long searching on old DVD and Bluray forums for spoilers on how to access the easter egg “Chimp Commentary” supposedly available on the BluRay edition of Tim Burtons infamous Planet of the Apes reboot.

Hoping that maybe someone else out there may know how we can amuse our tiny ape brains by finding how to enable this easter egg. We’ve tried every combination of menu buttons and no online resources seem to work for the Bluray edition of this film. Has anyone else been able to find this thing?

 
 
 

I’ve been using the notes app to write short thoughts, notes, poems, random ideas, etc and have found it really clunky for this. It has no simple way to edit formatting while typing or after, and a few other designs that seem to distract me. Wondering if anyone else had found this also, and maybe looked around for a better app?

 

Have had this issue since the 1.11.4 update, wondering if just me? Icon shows 1 update available, despite being on latest version. Click install, icon still showing update available. On webapp 1.11.14.

 

Getting around 130fps avg frames, sometime dipping down into the 80's, when playing CS2. Did a recent system upgrade and presumed performance would be better than this for the build?

Gear:

  • Ryzen 7 5700x 3.4ghz
  • 6750XT 12gb ddr6
  • 16gb 3600mhz ddr4
  • m.2 SSD
  • 144hz , 1440 screen with freesync
  • Running Mint latest version

Have tried in-game settings at lowest, still not managing to get a stable FPS above 144. Mucking with settings doesn't seem to change performance much. Have set game to run with '-vulkan' which helped reduce some stuttering issues, but not much performance gain.

I also only get <100fps with other games like BG3. Figured this kit would be able to handle modern games a bit better. Any ideas what's going on?

EDIT: For future reference, the following changes were made and am now getting ~200fps

  • Enabled asus EZ Tune in BIOS (rather than manually muck with each setting)
  • Updated gpu drivers via 'amdgpu -install'
  • Enable gamemode
