I had a quick view at this post : https://www.reddit.com/r/radeon/comments/157qa6c/rx_6600_or_rx_6700_xt_for_1080p/

It seems to me that 6700xt is much stronger than 6600. More expensive, too. Personally, I would pay some extra money 6700xt, but it depends on OP's budget and game preference.

I'd suggest OP to consider several factors:

  1. Is the game you're playing CPU-intensive? aka Will your 3600X be the bottleneck if you have a powerful GPU?
  2. Do you have a 4K/1440p monitor?

I would definitely pay for the game Concord, just for its brand.

If the sub title is Sony Flight Simulator

At least 90% of the memes and jokes are unrelated to the game, just no brain copy paste. That’s really annoying.

I like game-related memes, but they’re really hard to find now

KDE Connect: https://kdeconnect.kde.org/

I also use Resilio Sync. It's not open source software, but it's self-hosted https://www.resilio.com/

There are also open source sync services, like nextcloud or syncthing

This is annoying, while there are a few things we can do

  1. Report this issue at https://webcompat.com/
  2. Change UA to trick this website https://addons.mozilla.org/en-CA/firefox/addon/user-agent-string-switcher/
  3. Best choice, change another store :)

"just browse the internet" doesn't indicate that you don't need a powerful computer in 2023. Modern browsers are really heavy - and rendering websites are much more complex now.

Unless you're really frugal about your PC budget, I think it's definitely "to-go" for 32G

I had been using WSL2 for about one year. The experience was terrible compared to a Linux host. (Sadly I can't change the system on my work laptop). However, it was much better than Cygwin, msys2 and powershell - based on my experience.

If your host OS is windows and you're interested in Linux, I think WSL2 is a good way to have a try

  • Find an open-source software that you're interested in, but your main distro doesn't provide it in the official repo. Be a packager for this software.
  • Open your distro's wiki, rewrite (or contribute, if already good enough) a page or section.
  • Try the bleeding-edge version (or very-early testing) of your favourite distro, and submit some test results, regarding to your hardware.

IMHO these tasks are interesting, could learn a lot from these tasks, and other linux users could benefit from these work

While I’ve looked into Fedora Silverblue, that distro is limited to only install Flatpaks, which is fine for “apps”, but seems to be more of a problem with managing system- and CLI tools.

No. Your understanding to Fedora Silverblue is wrong. I can just run rpm-ostree install package.name in Silverblue, like other Fedora spins. The small disadvantage is that I need to reboot to apply this update. (re-construct)

but doesn’t that result in new A/B snapshots, or something like that?

Well, you can call it snapshots, but there is no need to think about it. In most cases, the system points to the newest snapshot (deployment 0). If a rollback is needed, I can pin to the older deployments. When a major change is to be applied (Like bump Fedora version), I'd manually mark the current deployment as dont-auto-delete.

Sure, but I’d like to have a more seamless experience, i.e. not having to open/start any “containers” or something like that.

I never used toolbox in my Fedora Silverblue system. I feel that I can't tell the difference between using Silverblue and the default Fedora spin

Valve has been using MoltenVK to run Dota2 on Mac1. I'm a bit worried that if Valve would cut the funding on MoltenVK2. Furthermore, CS:GO had been an example of a cross-platform example for multiple-player game. Valve's games may still support Linux/SteamOS, but what if other developers only release their games as win-only in future?

I think Fedora finds a good balance that

  1. All components are OSS by default
  2. It's super easy to install RPMFusion packages when needed

Can you share the details of your procedure? Besides, which distro you're using?

I had played Diablo II when I was young. I'm not a big Diablo fan, but I'm attracted by this new release, and I'm interested to play with my friends.

I can't decide that I should buy a PS5 version or PC version. Here are some pros and cons I'm thinking about.

  • I don't have a powerful gaming PC yet. Before I made my decision of a new PC build, I may need to play with low quality graph (EDIT: I already have a PS5).
  • I could buy a pre-owned PS5 Disc, which is cheaper. If I don't like it, I could trade-in the disc.
  • I don't have a PS membership right now. I know I missed one promotion in early June. Is the membership necessary for playing Diablo IV?
  • If I need to organize my backpack, will keyboard&mouse be more convenient than controller?
  • I have a Steam Deck and I want to use it for some causal play. Proton or PS Remote Play, which works better?

Thank you for all your suggestions.

EDIT: Considering the suggestion by @LemmyAtem@beehaw.org, I've purchased the PS5 version so we could enjoy the game together in the living room. We also confirmed that, without PS+, it's okay to play solo.
