Yea a proper tune would likely help a bunch in both performance and temps.

I'm pretty crap at bios tuning and usually just follow guides. I'll try my hand at it this weekend if it's not busy

Same. played it at launch on PC. i might have been one of the lucky ones. No real show stoppers as far as glitches went.

Haven't been following Blue sky stuff at all. Any reason to use this over mastodon?

Right on, I rejoined IRC during the COVID shutdowns. It's just nice to be chatting somewhere where a company isn't flooding me with advertisements and/or harvesting my data (that I can tell at least).

Pop OS is the whole reason I stayed on linux :) Lots of failed linux experiments in its wake previous to that haha

aww, poor muffin. 🙄

Been awhile since i've see that jar!

Mostly smooth. When I jumped onto pop os I think it was the 21.10 version which was good. Only the ng that I never got working was lutris. When 22.04 was released I updated to that and had some weirdness afterwards that I couldn't quite iron out. I ended up doing a fresh install with 22.04 and it's been great since.

I always wanted to learn. I had a number of failed attempts with Linux back in 2000, 2006, etc. I always gave it a shot every 5 years ago just to see.

I fully made the switch with pop os a couple years ago and it ended up sticking. I was in a better place to learn linux and pop os is just easy and noob friendly. This last time was also spurned on when the rumour was going around that windows 11 was going to have ads right in the explorer. I don't know if that ever happened but it was enough to get me to give it another shot haha

Can't remember the exact quote but it was something to the tune of "you don't have to know how a toilet works to crap in one but it might help you appreciate it more". I feel its applicable here.

I prefer the smokey flavour of a joint compared to the dry herb vaporiser flavour. I find dry herb flavour almost sickly sweet and it can make me nauseous. I definitely prefer the efficiency of the vaporiser tho. I can use about half the material I would for a joint and be proper stoned. Plus it doesn't stink up my clothes.

Yea. I'm diligent about the phone staying in my own pocket while I'm driving. I forget I can't always give others the benefit of the doubt.
