New Zealand music month is great for getting out and seeing local bands play.

Just a quick puff to sober up.

This is a weird one, but read up on folder structures. If you’ve used MacOS at all then the logic is very similar. However if you’re coming from a pure windows background then it can get confusing figuring out where everything gets put when you install applications or need to make changes to config files.

The Pop desktop environment and search works well the vast majority of the time but it’s handy to know how to find you’re way around when you hit a roadblock.

Yeah I do box breathing each night with progressive muscle relaxation. Sometimes the insomnia attacks just don’t respond. Up to month 5 now for this one.

Feel your pain on the long-term insomnia.

Yeah definitely not ideal. Was working with a sleep specialist/psychiatrist but he’s gone on extended personal leave, is the only specialist in my city, and I had adverse reactions to the medications he was trialling me on.

Nvidia is fine and I have a 3080. I have vrr on my 4k display working fine when run with 2 non vrr 1080p monitors, and full hdr support. That’s using the 570 driver in fedora.

I just don’t bookmark anything I don’t read straight away. If I want to read it that badly I’ll search for it again.

I just want to remove podcasts and audiobooks from my homepage.

The “Remote playback with a Remote Watch Pass subscription” just sounds like IPTV with extra steps. I’m kind of ok with them requiring Plex Pass for remote streaming for the server owner, but then I have lifetime so it doesn’t affect me. Might feel differently I was having to pay.

I have both the Steelseries Arctis 1 & 7 headsets. I’d happily recommend either of them, though 7 might be out of your budget.

The 1 is my office pair. It has long battery life, the wireless range is decent, and the usb c dongle means you can use them with a cell. The sound insulation is good considering it uses mesh pads and as a glasses wearer they’re pretty comfortable.

The audio quality isn’t amazing, it’s a bit boomy for my tastes. There is also a physical mute button on the back of the cup that sometimes gets knocked to mute when I put them down which is a bit embarrassing in calls. Otherwise I haven’t had any issues with them.

Piper is a godsend. It’s better than Logitech G Hub and much more like Logitech’s old simple software that let you quickly remap buttons.

For certain high voltage applications , like public PA systems, 1kw+ light and lasers, there are a still cylindrical plugs pug they use pins a bit like the old ps/2 port

I would say same standard of living but the difference is they had a kid and my wife and I don’t. We simply could not have the same lifestyle if we had children.

Pop OS worked straight out of the box with the Nvidia driver build BUT it’s using an old version of Gnome desktop environment so doesn’t have support for HDR or VRR. Pop is based on Ubuntu so all the Debian and Ubuntu terminal commands will be familiar.

Fedora is leading edge and so long as you opt in for non-open source drivers works with Nvidia and runs HDR and VRR in KDE (haven’t used the Gnome version).

Haven’t tried any other distros but Bazzite seems well recommended.

Lutris is the recommended software for non-steam games. If you search for that and Sims/EA you should be able to find out if it’ll work for you.

I only use windows now for sim racing and Vr, but I also don’t play online games with anti-cheat. Linux seems pretty stable and I’ve found it easy to use.

lol. I searched “nvidia 570 Linux” less than a week ago and nada. Just did it again based on you comment and it looks like it was released 2 days ago.

You’re an absolute legend! Thanks for the heads up.

VRR that works with multiple monitors connected. Unfortunately that’s an Nvidia driver issue rather than a missing Linux protocol, so could be waiting a while.

I’ve recently switched to Fedora KDE running version 6 and HDR looks great. Well worth the wait.

Quickly browsing through the tracks I’d say it’s a mixture of proper techno sub-genres. Some melodic, a bit of bleep or acid, and a few hard/industrial peak-time tunes. Add “techno” onto the end of those adjectives and you have your genres.

Huh TIL. Sorry if I sounded dismissive of GNOME, I was just going by what has and hasn’t been implemented. I actually hated how Plasma looked and how it was set out so ended up getting a global Mac OS theme to fix it.

Part of the reason for dual booting is to figure out which DE I prefer having only just moved over from windows.
