Try swapping to BFQ io scheduler and see if that makes a difference.

He retains the "Cold Take" name and property- so here's hoping he continues it, whether that's under some new media company or even just as a solo content creator.

Anyone who ritualistically buys Dell. I believe Intel is on the record as having called Dell "the best friend money can buy."

Are you on Gnome, KDE, or some other desktop environment? I know KDE Wayland and Nvidia do NOT play nice (presently).

Are you running it through Lutris? Steam with Proton? That error seems decidedly like a Wine specific problem, which Proton should have ironed out at this stage for this particular game.

*Unless you're trying to play on hardware with incomplete Vulkan support. Then it's a hardware support problem that is unlikely to be fixed in a reasonable timeframe.

Ooooh okay. Yeah, I avoided the playstore version. I'm pretty sure I had read somewhere early on that the Playstore version would lack features or otherwise be behind in some ways due to complying with certain Google specific requirements to be allowed on the storefront. Kind of like KDEConnect.

I've got it opening YouTube links by default... At least from within other apps. In Firefox I can also hit "open in app" and it pops right up. Casting works too.

I'm going to assume it's not Universal Blue... But parts of your description reminded me of it.

A gallon glass carboy is $20-25 and that's going to be your biggest up front expense. That's reusable, however so once you've got that you're not going to need another for simple small batches. Champagne yeast is like $10-20 for 10-20 packs (figure a dollar per pack) and each pack can easily make 2 gallons if you're smart enough to split it in half. 3lbs of raw honey from Costco will run $12-15 and a gallon of boiled water rounds out your list. Yeast nutrient is probably a good idea since it almost guarantees good results (1lb is like $10-15 and you only use 1/4 tsp or so per gallon batch). One-way air locks for brewing with stoppers are $2-10 depending on how many you buy (also reusable). So your first batch is your most expensive at $85 absolute worst case with today's prices. From there on out subsequent batches cost only the honey, water, and any fruit or spices you want to try adding. As far as hobbies go, that's not bad considering how much variety there is in it. I can't comment on beer, but mead is dead simple as long as you keep everything sanitized before and after brewing.

As someone who makes meads/wines in a closet and has done so while renting, I don't particularly see the relevance as long as your batches are small and contained... Typically, the tools and ingredients aren't wildly expensive either if you're keeping things simple (in the US, anyways). Honestly, I don't see how more demographics don't get into the basics of homebrewing. It's dead simple to make something "passable" and with time and effort you can even make something good/great!

I have personal experience with BTRFS and Windows. And that experience is that it's roughly as stable/complete as NTFS is for Linux. 6 of one and a half dozen the other. I can't recommend either situation for guaranteed stability long term between systems if one really needs to swap between the OS's frequently while accessing all the same files.

Tribes 3 was missing all the secondary objectives stuff that made T2 so much more accessible. Even if you weren't snapping crazy midair shots or cruising through fast flag caps you could still contribute via base attack or defense, vehicle support, etc. It felt like a crazy mix of arena shooter and early Battlefield games.
