If you feel like you need/want software from AUR you should check out Distrobox. It can run any distro on top of your installation using Docker under the hood, but it tightly integrates into your system so with little effort you can run AUR programs from your launcher as if they were natively installed on your Mint.

Alternatively: cheap second hand RAM.

Yes, but for how long?

There’s a separate quota for email storage and cloud storage.

I have started using Mailbox.org since about a year with several custom domains. Its around 3 €/$ per month for the basic tier which also includes some cloud storage and an online office suite (of which neither I use). I’ve been happy with it.

Remember that prices in the US are before taxes (VAT) since they differ for each state and are calculated during checkout. I think I’d prefer to move -> buy than to buy -> move.

Oh nice, I’ll have to go check that out. Thank you Nintendo for making me aware of this!

I thought they were introducing Easy Anti-Cheat to BFV and BF1 like they have used on BF 2042. EAC can run on Linux if setup properly but EA doesn’t care.

And so does EA who hasn’t done it either and keeps adding the anti cheat to older Battlefield titles. Fuck AAA publishers.

You can find most if not all episodes on YouTube as well. I don’t think there are any high quality versions around anyway.

never install software system-wide without your package manager.

What’s the alternative of sudo make install and curl | sudo bash if a package is not available in AUR? I am unfamiliar with make install .

Didn’t we reach a point where EULAs are non-enforcable? Or is that just in the EU? But regardless, Valve can just ban you and good luck doing anything about it.

Agreed, this has been my experience as well. I tried switching to full time Linux multiple times. I had already used it on my laptop for years but on my desktop I kept going back to Windows because things on Windows just worked the way I wanted and thought that for some things there weren’t any Linux alternatives.

That was until two years ago I challenged myself to only use Linux for a month. I’ve been using Linux on my desktop ever since and only use Windows now and then to play a single game that doesn’t work on Linux due to anti cheat.

I was torrenting Flatout 2 shortly after its release and thought the download size was suspiciously small. It was the first time I played Fallout 2.

Luckfox Pico Mini might be you’re looking for. It’s a Linux SBC that costs around 10 USD, in a Teensy/Raspberry Pico or even smaller formfactor.

I suppose xrandr can help you here: See the Arch wiki about xrandr

Which kernel do you use on Debian? IIRC support for Intel Arc was added in 6.0 or higher. I am using Proxmox (based on Debian) and I had to upgrade from 5.15 to 6.2 kernel to get hardware decoding to work. Have you checked the Jellyfin manual? It’s pretty elaborate on how to get Intel QSV working.

Linux is usually lighter on hardware, so in theory you have more performance left for games. I doubt it’s noticeable though and I certainly didnt notice any difference except for some games like GTA 4 and Sims 3. They run a lot better on Linux than on Windows.

Not officially. Only Ryzen Pro have official (unregistered) ECC support and not many motherboards support it either. AFAIK Threadripper doesn’t officially support it either but I could be wrong.

You sand your 3D prints?
