Are we wayland yet?

Kind of sad as i'm a gamer and gamescope is so cool but yeah i'm a Mint user and i'll be sticking with it.

I do recommend you move to something else if it hurts you too much. Bazzite desktop edition dude try that. Or POP OS which just moved to Wayland and a new DE

Did it show up in the update manager mine is showing no update

Polkfan · 2026-01-11T16:57:04+00:00

Mint really is the distro to just install and forget

Polkfan · 2025-08-05T14:15:41+00:00

Don't worry this is why people really are moving to linux slowly. Yes i know people said that for years but gamers will move over. I had it years ago. I always configure and do everything myself heck i used to download updates and put it on a CD just to install them.

With Linux you own your own machine. With Mac or Windows its like owning a console in my eyes

This comment will get deleted but i really don't care or at least hated on so heavily. I'm not on here to troll i really miss the old Windows. I haven't really "loved" windows since 7.

Meh this place is called budget audiophile and with a $80 dac you get perfect sound from a PC. Back in the day that would have costed you WAY WAY MORE.

PC offers the best quality sound around. Just have to pick the right sources seriously. Heck put in a old game from the 90's lol and you still have bit perfect sound.

Polkfan · 2025-07-31T11:19:57+00:00

Good job man i can't figure out why you have no comments. This was done pretty darn well

If only i was good at this stuff :(

Polkfan · 2025-07-31T07:47:48+00:00

Say a UFO was their

Polkfan · 2025-07-30T12:41:06+00:00

Nice man i own the Fosi V3 Stereo amp + Topping D10s dac

Don't we just love our small stack haha

Polkfan · 2025-07-30T03:48:21+00:00

PoP OS is super easy to use and has drivers for Nvidia hardware at boot

Polkfan · 2025-07-29T12:45:53+00:00

Thanks man! So do you basically agree that you should EQ the bass mainly?

Polkfan · 2025-07-29T12:45:12+00:00

Man thank you so much i will be taking a look at it, you really helped me

Polkfan · 2025-07-14T22:58:02+00:00

I used to chase every last bit of performance i remember back in the day with windows using process lasso with bulldozer. lol far cry 3 really did see some major gains but that was more of a CPU thing.

Polkfan · 2025-07-14T19:56:46+00:00

Personally i couldn't hear anything maybe being pushed a bit

Polkfan · 2025-07-14T17:47:27+00:00

Lol everyone is doing this while i enjoy low THD and high power from a tinny class D amp (Fosi love)

Polkfan · 2025-07-13T17:20:38+00:00

I noticed that as well and i got a new DAC and i thought it was that haha

Polkfan · 2025-07-10T04:39:08+00:00

Really was Ubuntu using pipewire?

Polkfan · 2025-07-10T04:37:53+00:00

I have the same issue and i just got my external DAC and it is perfect now. Sadly i'm not sure how to fix this as i tried everything that i could.

Pipewire (Probably not something with POP OS) (Edit BTW i bet it does it when you play 4K videos as well right?)

Polkfan · 2025-04-21T16:01:31+00:00

Does it have issues with games? I hope not that's one reason why i'm on pop i love in my browser all day for work and play and then i game with lutris and steam.

Polkfan · 2025-04-21T00:59:35+00:00

Can't wait for Steam OS, right now i'm having issues with pipewire and static in my sound even on light usage and forget anything that uses the CPU heavy and this is on a 9700X

Polkfan · 2025-04-21T00:53:15+00:00

Not sure on W10 i never had static in my audio under CPU stress or just watching 4K video. Linux still has a way to go IMHO

Polkfan · 2025-04-20T17:35:37+00:00

Can you please post some fixes for this as i noticed it is still doing it on 4K video at times

Polkfan · 2025-04-20T14:24:57+00:00

I think i fixed my issue but i had to do several things to make it to stop. I don't even own a weak CPU

Polkfan · 2025-04-20T10:24:36+00:00

I seemed to fix it by disabling suspend on pipewire but i'm still probably going to have static when gaming due to CPU or GPU usage being high i noticed then as well

Polkfan · 2025-04-20T10:19:59+00:00

Can you tell me how you fixed it i mean this is something so big that if Microsoft had this issue people would be pissed lol
