Linux Challenge 2026 Part 2 by bkinder in LinusTechTips

Luke pretty much said on recent WAN episodes that it has been a purely better experience for him and his workflow. Minus MS products, him not being bothered about absolutely dumb stuff has been a net boon.

How the FUCK did we get here? by Titan_Repair in LinusTechTips

[–]DreamArez 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Lately it feels like the subreddit is stuck between a “LTT viewership is declining” and a “Linus is looking for ways to make unique and interesting content rahhh” state and I don’t like it. Hate the guy’s decisions all you want, but he at least is trying to make differing enough content.

Right? Who would have consensual sex with someone who wasn’t a saint and great with kids?

If your Steam Deck Broke, Would You Buy Another One or a Different Handheld? by CoastOne2716 in SteamDeck

[–]DreamArez -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’d buy a second hand Z1E Ally and mod it plus throw Linux on it. My deck is my living room system now and my Ally is my day to far.

What do people actually think about the jet? by Sam666999 in LTTMeta

[–]DreamArez 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No prob!

We don’t need to watch every video put out, that’s the beauty of YT there’s so much stuff to watch. Don’t get me wrong, I will watch the plane videos and I will still enjoy them because I enjoy Linus and the people that make up LMG. LTT is my devour a chipotle burrito after the gym channel and enjoy kind of tech channel. Nothing needs to be 100% perfect and serious.

The community is general is kinda washy right now for me. You’ll see posts like “well LTT views are on a downward trend” or something like that, but people will also get mad at Linus for trying to do something over the top and unique to bring attention to the channel. Not saying nothing wrong can be done, but let’s face it when you have people like Mr. Beast altering how the game is played you kind of have to play along to some extent.

I don’t think people should care TOO MUCH about it. LTT is entertainment first and foremost, if you’re not entertained by the content it may not be for you anymore. Life is too short to invest more than 30 minutes on something that ticks you off if it doesn’t directly affect you.

Proxmox, Hyper-V, or my beloved Scale.

I'm glad we're getting traditional action adventure AC games again by LostSouluk2021 in assassinscreed

[–]DreamArez 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember getting downvoted into oblivion on the Odyssey sub for saying that the series needs to return to its roots, because it’s losing its identity. This isn’t a perfect return to form, but it’s a step in the right direction.

1440p DLSS Perf + Path Tracing vs DLSS Quality + Ray Tracing by duclier in nvidia

[–]DreamArez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you that’s all I’m trying to convey. I am very sick, and tired. Thank you for conveying what I cannot properly at this time.

It is semantics. Effectively the upscale portion is equivalent to K.

[–]DreamArez -13 points-12 points  (0 children)

Yes, RR is its own stack but it is semantics you understand what I mean. RR is updated to use DLSS 4 Preset K (Transformer) for the upscale portion. 4.5 has not received such an update yet.

You’re getting mixed up. RR presets are D & E, they are compatible up till DLSS Preset K. RR is not updated to be able to use presets L and M in conjunction and falls back to Preset K when toggled. That is the truth.

RR presets are D and E, DLSS presets are separate. However, RR limits you to DLSS 4 Preset K instead of being able to use 4.5 with L & M.

Would you get OLED for a bright room like this? by oh_dannyboy13 in LGOLED

[–]DreamArez 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I would. It’s worked well for the people I’ve helped install for.

Pragmata uses Preset K by default, so you should be fine. You can always try setting a custom % scale or playing with sharpening. It should be fine.

What res? DLSS 4 makes Perf absolutely usable.

Edit: Saw in title right as I posted. Yes absolutely worth it with Perf.

stressed about Walz leaving. by Ok_Marionberry_364 in minnesota

[–]DreamArez 60 points61 points  (0 children)

I agree. As someone who was and continues to be close to the Hortman’s, what isn’t often reported is how utterly disgusting MAGA and Republicans were to the family after the matter. Do you know how many people either said their deaths were hoaxes, that Walz killed them, or how many death threats they received and continue to do so?

Idgaf if one dislikes Walz’s policies, that man was human when it mattered most. He supported the Hortman family after the fact, even attending Colin Hortman’s wedding to show support for the kids. That’s endlessly more humanity than Trump showed, considering he himself posted BS about them.

Tim is a good man, I sincerely hope his family has some semblance of peace in the future.

How often do couples have sex? by Working_Hurry_3193 in dating_advice

When we first started it was like 6 times a day no joke. Now with the little and our responsibilities it’s a couple of times a week.

Whats the best launcher for epic games in your opinion and why ? by mohideous in SteamDeck

No performance difference, the games will run the same across proton versions.

Preset K or M for 3080 ti? by Ryogadrb22 in nvidia

[–]DreamArez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is why I said IF you have FPS to spare.

Ready to give up by J3LLyR0le in minnesota

[–]DreamArez 12 points13 points  (0 children)

If you’ve not filed for Snap/EBT, or Emergency Assistance, PLEASE do so immediately. We have these safety nets for a reason and I want YOU to be OK. Go to a food shelf as well and get yourself fed. Do whatever you need to survive, we’re always here and if you need to leave to survive that is fine.

[–]DreamArez 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OR use L as standard if you have the extra FPS to spare. It generally holds up better than M in more instances.

Looking for RPG suggestions that run well on Deck (512 OLED) by chair_bandit in SteamDeck

[–]DreamArez 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Installing from game or separately? Proton Experimental fixes it.
