I've had great success with Pop_OS! and hybrid graphics on my laptop (RYZEN 6800H/RTX 3070). If its related to the high power gpu not swithing at all.

The Nvidia iso might be worth a try.

I started with the Black Widow fallout 3 perk figuring there world be more male characters than female when fighting.

https://fallout.fandom.com/wiki/Black_Widow_(Fallout_3)

EFFECTS
+10% damage against male opponents
Additional dialogue options with certain male characters

It stuck after that.

I don’t care how big or small it is, as long as it remains real.

I believe I’ve seen more organic conversation in the fediverse than I have on any other platform.

It’s either bots, ads or ad bots everywhere else.

Being tiny makes it less appealing to the megacorp cunts that would want to ruin it.

That's this weekends project, moving to Jellyfin with all the discover together fuckery they're pulling. Fuck Plex.

My main concern is for DigitalFoundry - genuinely one of the best, most entertaining, and in-depth spin off channels out there.

DF Direct is my podcast of choice when driving to/from work. Their video content and analysis is always my number one watch.

I'd be gutted if they ruined DF.

My Safari extension of choice for iOS YouTube ad blocking is vinegar.

Combined with Banish extension to stop the annoying “open in our app” nonsense when browsing the web.

No, I don’t want privacy exploiting app syphoning my personal data when the website will do.

I’ve pinned the YouTube website to my Home Screen in Safari and combined with those extensions I have a lovely experience with them.

I’m going to fully assess what actual windows software I rely on any more and migrate all of my systems to a Linux based os this weekend I think.

The amount of games that I play that work on my Steam deck already confirms that I’ll be fine there.

I probably spin up a windows vm that I could remote into from my homelab if I’ve missed anything I do need to run.

I used to own both a Series X, PS5 and have my gaming PC (all in the same room - desktop currently has an i5 13500, RTX 3090 24GB, 4TB of NVME storage & 128GB ram)

Got myself a 5m hdmi lead capable of driving my 4k/120 TV and just ended up using my pc for everything now.

I just switch sources between my monitor and tv when I want to game on the couch. Any mouse/keyboard input needed, I do it on the Unified remote app on my phone and fire up Steam big picture on the tv.

Sold the PS5 and XBOX and ditched two more subscriptions hitting me every month.

No regrets so far.

We have English (United Kingdom) as a localised install.

Not any more bloated then English (US) but if this English (World) install is even cleaner as Andi says, I’ll start using that instead for fresh installs.

Nice Tip.

HWUB, GN, Level1Techs and KitGuru are my serious outlets of choice.

If I want little more than entertainment, LTT, Dawid does Tech, Lowcastle Tech fill that gap.

Also a shout out to Chris Barnett Explaining Computers as I love his content.

I like being able to use my the same charger universally with my and my families:

  • Steam Deck
  • iPads
  • PlayStation 5 controllers
  • XBOX Series X Controllers
  • Laptops
  • Phone power banks
  • Magsafe Charger
  • Nintendo Switches
  • Beats Fit Pro
  • Samsung Galaxy Tabs

I detest the:

  • Shitty USB 2.0 Lightning cable

This is great stuff.
