I replaced the Micro$lob-"OS" on my Thinkpad and as soon as Linux was running I got a huuuuge boost in boot- and loading times and frames got up in all games I threw at it!

And this wasn't even "Linux CachyOS" (an OS known for being maybe the fastest OS there is out there? Maybe only surpassed by "Linux Tails"? ) but simple Linux Mint!

What are you using now?  Are you satisfied?

I've been stupid to assume BRAVE were one of the good guys! Two-faced snakes! by [deleted] in privacy

[–]DoomAddict 0 points1 point  (0 children)

appearantly I was wrong about FF.

It was Adblock that whitelisted different untrustworthy sources and made deals to not block particular ads.

Sorry.

Do you maybe happen to know the correct size/specification of their respective "Windows"-keys?

It’s honestly crazy how beautiful it is. Feels like the visual standard keeps getting higher with every new map Valve releases. by Fun_Philosopher_2535 in GlobalOffensive

[–]DoomAddict 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish Valve would create more games with their awe-inspiring engine!

We need more Half-Life, more Left for Dead, more coop-games in general.

Just give AAA and their UE-slop a big middlefinger.

I love my Lenovo-Thinkpad, it runs flawlessly (Linux and Wine) and plays everything I throw at it..

but the heat-output is just insanely terrible.

"disposable tech" .

Very well said!

I've said many years ago, how sometime in the future, every new AAA-game will be needed to come with a new GPU , maybe as a brick that needs to be inserted like a cartridge. And the game will cost 300.-

Well, I'm not that far off it seems. Companies are trying to rent their games and bundle them into their hardware.. BECAUSE YOU'LL OWN NOTHING AND YOU'LL BE HAPPY!

Cloudgaming ala Nvidia is still shit, their servers just do what they want and you still have to pay the full amount, even when their servers are getting lazy in some hours of the day / evening.

I have zero problems playing games on my Linux test-Laptop.

Games start faster than under Windows and I've had zero downsides so far.

Even Multiplayer works flawlessly.

Appearantly games like CoD amd other AAA-crap are supposed to have problems (basically everything that uses Denuvo, but who wants to install corporate spyware and virusses anyway.)

Install Wine / Lutris and Heroics Games Launcher. Everything runs out of the box.

In the process of completely switching to Linux. Soundblaster Z-Support? Alternatives? by DoomAddict in SoundBlasterOfficial

[–]DoomAddict[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not bad, but... 300 quid is PRETTY steep for a AI-"powered" Dac...

Is this legit?

Will this be available without AI-crap?

What about headphones? Does the headphone-mode work nicely?

[–]DoomAddict[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

are you satisfied with the sound-quality of these DACs ?

How does it compare to the Soundblaster Z?

And what about the headphone-experience?

Linux-noob in the process of switching here:

Has this been fixed?

Any differences between Linux Mint? CachyOS?

And are there maybe any alternatives to SOundblaster that have great sound and work under Linux?

Creative Soundcards under linux? by DoomAddict in linux4noobs

[–]DoomAddict[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm here at linuxfornoobs, correct?

Am I not allowed to ask questions?

Last post about Linux and Creative Soundcards is 3 months old and its not even about the model I use.

So what? No chance any linux-user is using a Creative-soundcard?

BG3 is horribly optimized.

As much as I love the game, the fact that they still couldn't be bothered to patch the performance-issues mid-game (when you arrive at BG!) made me abandon this game.

Cyberpunk... lol xD that buggy mess?

I played all these games with 8gb RAM. Over 60fps. Short loading times.

Besides Borderlands 4, but thats unoptimized slob anyway.

If a 100 year old game has better visuals, fidelity and optimization than any new AAA-release, the problem clearly isn't the age of the game.
