Me with Manjaro and an Nvidia graphics card.


I will study this page like my entire academic career hinges on it and I’m a ritalin-addled undergrad.
Despite the fact that I graduated 18 years ago. Thank you.


Oh man thanks that would actually be delightful. Whenever you got time, I’d appreciate whatever fix helped. Even if it doesn’t solve the problem directly, it might put me on the right path.


I like Cachy. It runs on my AMD Framework 13. Arch runs on my desktop, and I have reached an equilibrium where it’s stable enough to for me to ignore the occasional crash or complete freeze up (which is audio related and rare enough that I just don’t care to try to fix atm).
Actually now that I think about it, I haven’t had a audio lockup since I swapped to using my video card’s audio. So maybe I have a defective audio chip on my motherboard. 🤷


Manjaro is Patrick when he had a job at the Krusty Krab and was trying to sweep with the wrong end of the broom.


Pretty well during those rare moments where I still play. The GPU I use is unfortunately EOL (GTX 1080 Ti), but it’s nice and smooth. Basically native performance.


Does it count if I run destiny 2 through a VM with passthrough and a bootleg copy of Windows?


You mad man.



Thank you for your service. 🫡


That’s legit the only reason I still remember it. I had just turned 30 a few weeks beforehand, and it had at least a year and a few months on me.


Right on. One of the first computer parts I ever owned personally was a 40GB Maxtor drive, right before or around the time Seagate bought them. I can’t remember how it happened, but at some point the raw drive was dropped down a flight of stairs. Worked just fine for several more years before finally failing.


About a decade ago, I did some contract work for a local credit union upgrading some of their systems and one of their secondary servers had an old Maxtor drive that had over 31 years of uptime on it. It was wild because at the time, that drive had been running constantly longer than I had been alive.
I’m so proud of Billy. 🥹


I have an older Razer Blade 13 that was a replacement for a lower end model that had battery issues. It was well within the warranty period (had it less than two months). I had been emailing their support for a couple weeks before getting tired of the wait and just tagged them on Twitter and asked for help. Had a replacement in less than 48 hours. Their actual support is trash, but the social media team seems to be the way to go when it comes to getting actual help.
EDIT: For clarification, I sent them back the bad one and hadn’t heard from them for awhile.
Yep. And the new version (TS6) is even self-hostable!
Although the server software is still a bit buggy and needs more work. It likes to just fail without any actual errors, warnings, or crashes on the server end. My experience is it would still be running but not “reachable”, despite all the network stuff checking out. It was unhelpful, but super nice when it worked.
