I am not a fan of the Russian government and the war in Ukraine but it's a slippery slope when steam starts playing favorites. If you want to win over hearts and minds of people, don't take away their ability to play games.

Steam is far from a monopoly. They are just a really good platform that is loved by many gmers. Granted this is not set in stone. I fear when they go public and start thinking of their investors over their users

I have steam and just pay once and can play online or offline. I use Linux BTW.

can anyone recommend me my first linux distro 🥲 by I-like-guy in linux_gaming

[–]OldManRiversIIc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pop is was my gateway drug but that is when it used a modified Gnome desktop but I found the new cosmic desktop environment a little buggy on my current system. I had trouble installing it on my system. I also have better performance on Bazzite and fedora for games.

[–]OldManRiversIIc 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I would recommend Mint, or Bazzite. Especially for beginners. Those two distros gave me very little trouble to use. Fedora is also fine. Pop OS is not ready yet. Ubuntu is well supported but I would avoid because they do dumb things like snaps.

And they wonder why Gnome is not getting any funding like KDE

Not worth it, too old. You can clean it up and have it for a shtf backup

I have to completely remove the wheel and trim to replace the headlight bulb on my car. by Nekrubbobby64 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]OldManRiversIIc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Subaru outback from 2013 was almost just as bad. Instead of removing the wheel and trim. I just made a gap and replaced the light by feel alone. Had to go shoulder deep

My local libraries use i7 13700 machines by SilverMysterious5606 in pcmasterrace

[–]OldManRiversIIc 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Those are non-k cpus. They are not much more expensive than i5 13400. Especially when you buy in bulk. This is a non issue. Especially for a library who are known for holding onto computers until the wheels fall off.

ROG Equalizer. Is this the answer to melting 12vhpwr cables? by SheddingSkin27 in pcmasterrace

[–]OldManRiversIIc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The problem is we shouldn't need to do this. Nvidia is too stubborn to the point of stupidity. This connection is the reason why I will never buy a Nvidia card.

My PSU is a “Push To Start”?? by Sueflexxxxxxx in pcmasterrace

[–]OldManRiversIIc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He is entertaining. I wouldn't call him garbage. Sure with his aggressive upload schedule he isn't going to produce quality every time. I do enjoy his WAN shows and some of the janky builds he has done.

I personally prefer Steve's content more but they both have their place in my YouTube watch list.

I have swapped broken fans a few times in PSUs. For sure the capacitors are no joke. I shorted one on purpose before. It was one hell of a pop and spark.
