I guess the takeaway for me is despite making some strides in last couple years nvidia is still just kinda janky on Linux. Good luck getting to the bottom of it.

Anecdotal and likely not very helpful, when I was running a laptop with a 2060, I regularly had freezing issues launching steam, that would freeze the entire desktop on whichever I display I launched it on for anywhere from 10 seconds to a minute. The same issue occurred across multiple Linux distros running multiple Nvidia proprietary driver versions.

I built a desktop with an AMD GPU to solve the problem and it worked. I really wish I could give you something better than that.

I even swapped out for a custom “super” key that matches the font of my keyboard and lets the rgb shine through.

Nah i totally got where you were coming from, and yeah, all good advice. I think the winning advice is “go for the features you want regardless of displacement so long as you can exercise self control”

I think all I was trying to get at on the subject of displacement, is when that ridiculous amount of power is available, the temptation to use it is strong. You can die on a Yamaha Zuma. But the 600s are plenty powerful, very fast, very nimble, but they do put at least some ceiling on the trouble your right hand can get into.

You don’t need a liter. The ZX6R or any other 600cc sport bike will provide plenty of thrills. If you survive into your 30s and decide you’re responsible enough for 1000ccs have at it. Most people I know that bought a liter bike in their 20s are either dead or disabled.

This is the real answer. In this day and age where a 16gb USB stick can be had for literally $5usd on Amazon, it would be silly not to have a few kicking around. I don’t think any Linux distro live environment media requires more than 16gb, and it’s more than enough for updating a bios. I even used one to update the infotainment system in my vehicle last week. Kind of a necessary tool.

Oh yeah sure let’s just have two games that are almost identical, split the efforts of the devs into maintaining them both and releasing consistent updates, split the efforts of the server administrators into maintaining them both, and detract from your concurrent player base from our new game to keep our old game on life support.

Yall are some crybabies. CS:GO was alive for 10 years, CS2 has been out for 1. It took some time to re-work Dust 2 and add it back into the map pool. I miss agency, I miss cache, but those maps are being reworked and added in over time. It’s a long game scenario here. Give it time and enjoy the free to play game that they sunk a shitload of resources into dramatically improving, that they are going to maintain for at least another decade, just like the last game.

It’s a new engine, all maps have had to be reworked, even the official maps. Most games with mods even break those mods with small routine updates. So no, CS:GO is gone, and so is all of its content. There are plenty of new maps and training routines in the CS2 workshop.

You’re absolutely right on the confession bit. This is also Louisiana, I’m not sure police and legal systems get any more corrupt than theirs, especially if you’re black.

Shooting one family member might be an accident, shooting two is almost definitely not.

Yeah, I’ve considered VR for a long while, but between the already existing headaches, and the Linux related headaches I’ve heard of, I’ll just wait until I’m retired for VR space games, VR racing, and VR porn. Hopefully it’ll get better before I’m dead.
