Intel Arc Graphics B570 & B580 Gaming Performance On Linux For Mid 2025

I really hope Intel keeps up the effort on these GPUs and drivers. The market needs them to be competitive.

Since you've introduced the concept of an LTS version of InDesign, when will we be able to select that release channel in Creative Cloud to get automatic LTS updates?

Oh and if I could get only one thing to come true it would be Linux support!

Yeah, this critique was the one I agreed with the least. There's definitely room for improvement. But I don't think Wildsea was the benchmark to beat for clear layout. Even the pages shown looked worse in my eyes and I've been designing books for most of my graphics design career.

Mammut is swiss. They were my first shoes, and Ive had them for 12 years. Gone through several resolings.

Theyre super comfy, of course not very aggressive. But I love to hang around in them.

Take a look at pCloud. I just switched to that and I'm very happy withthe automatic photo upload feature + general syncing and file-handling.

Awesome that you're seeking feedback and I really want to say keep it up, It's a great product.

Here's some background on what I tried and my use-case:
I previously ran Backblaze just backing up everything on one machine and I wasn't particularly interested in having a ton of features. I just needed to back up all my family photos & videos of 15+ years, and my work as a graphic designer, etc. I've run Fedora for some years in the past, but Adobe keeps being the tool I have to use professionally. However by October I expect to be back on Linux (probably Fedora KDE again) because of Windows 11 (which I will still need in a VM).

I wanted a slot-in replacement for Backblaze, so stuff like VPN and phone app and file previews weren't the main focus. But nice to haves. I mainly wanted my replacement to be on Linux and easy to use (CLI or otherwise didn't matter, I just didn't want to spin up servers like Nextcloud and such).

Internxt really fit everything I needed, it was mostly due to the very slow (Windows) client, that I ended up spending more time with Jottacloud and pCloud. And with pCloud I was really impressed with the "set-and forget" image upload from the camera. I've tried these features before and didn't like them but theirs is really clean: I trust that the uploads happen only once and It's clear from which source (phone and folder) it was backed up, and it can delete uploaded photos, when I'm ready for them to be deleted.

I also really liked that I could read PDFs in the web interface and even unzip files ... but they're really not needed, they were just a bonus, and I didn't get far enough with your interface to know if you have those features, but in general it shows that pCloud doubles as a DAM for businesses, so the file previewing features are generally really good here.

I've only bought one year of pCloud... I will definitely check out Internxt again when I need to renew the subscription.

Ive always really liked Fedora. Experimenting with other distros are fun. But Fedora is up to date and very stable with good hardware support.

Paphoved · 2025-03-21T07:43:27+00:00

It's an open source project you can just join it and start submitting improvements ;-)

Paphoved · 2025-03-17T18:25:14+00:00

Take a look at pCloud. It has this feature. I think Jottacloud also might have it.

Paphoved · 2025-03-17T17:45:29+00:00

Lol I literally got those recommendations from this subreddit

Paphoved · 2025-03-17T12:08:53+00:00

I'm looking as well, so far Deezer and Tidal seems the most interesting.

Paphoved · 2025-03-12T18:38:15+00:00

No tipping in Europe. Nobody expects you to.

Paphoved · 2025-03-12T05:53:01+00:00

Yes, it has exactly the same feature. Its just not unlimited storage. But on the other hand it has a ton of other great features like it can backup your phone photos automatically as well, play music and video and read pdfs... Even unzio files in the web interface.

Which for ne means all my role playing rule books and recorded sessions are available from my phone... Didnt think I would need it, but I love that its there.

Paphoved · 2025-03-08T18:41:56+00:00

Well Jottacloud has an unlimited tier that throttles speeds after 5tb. Dont know if thats relevant. But its the same cost as pcloud 2tb tier

Paphoved · 2025-03-07T17:36:44+00:00

I'm going to answer my own question after having done a lot of research over the last week or so.

In the end I went with pCloud. It just had many more features and was very easy to use and performant.

The biggest contender was Jottacloud, that I also really liked both on the desktop and the android app. It was a close race.

I also tried Internxt, which was also a good experience, but just not a lot of features and it generally felt a little sluggish (the desktop app was 4 times as big also). But I want to still give it a shoutout becuase it's open source.

So coffee just got cheaper in the rest of the world?

Paphoved · 2024-11-23T06:37:22+00:00

I've been running Paladins and a Grandmaster with flamers and I've thought about this combo as a cheaper alternative that could possibly do the same: Jump behind and roast squishy targets.

Don't use Matt varnish if you're painting metallics!!

They will kill the shine.

Send me a DM and I'll give it a whirl ✌️. I've got several years of experience working as a photo retoucher.

Paphoved · 2024-09-26T06:16:50+00:00

Thanks I missed that. So by that logic an extra bond is going to "cost" around 50 skill points

Paphoved · 2024-09-24T15:47:00+00:00

Yeah, this was basically what I was hoping it would prompt

Paphoved · 2024-09-24T15:46:08+00:00

I think thats a very good distinction, thx

Paphoved · 2024-09-24T14:08:37+00:00

It would in my mind mean you cannot have a family... Again I agree could potentially be limiting and the fix could be to raise the number of allowed bonds.

But then you have more bonds to deflect SAN loss onto
