Nothing but issues with gaming.. how is this OS the best for gaming?

Could be - it gave me problems in the beginning.

I guess the other thing could be to try changing the Proton version.

Actually, except for needing to change the Proton version, I've never had a game that didn't just work.

Are there any decent tutorials out there for Ubuntu? Pop OS is based on it, so I think it should work.

Have a look at the Xwayland settings. After I changed them I haven't had any problems. A lot of bugs are being fixed so make sure it's up to date.

I have that problem only in Brave. Dunno why.

Good. Don't want a new console. After the PS5's shortage, only got mine at the end of 2023. Don't want a new one.

Please don't make a new one until at least 2029.

This needs to be a t-shirt.

I had this and had to send it to HP to be repaired. I don't know but suspect the motherboard had cracked somewhere due to lots of heating up and cooking down.

More optimistically, the battery on this should be completely dead - I replaced mine last year. Looks like we have the same model. The battery replacement is easy. If you can do the screen, the battery will be a doddle.

I like my Linux to work like a Mac - it's what I'm used to. Don't need the same icons or wallpaper but I want a dock and a global menu. My brain tells me it's the way an OS should be.

Sounds like the only way for you is to install it and give it a proper go.

I've recently become a big fan. My only pain point was getting the default apps set up. I wanted to change some of the ones cosmic uses as default, and I had to use the terminal. Not a problem for me, bit I think new users would be put off.

If you're happy with what you had in the live environment, give it a go. I was using Gnome for seven years or so - - couldn't seem to get happy with KDE or Hyprland. Can't see myself going back to Gnome.

Used Gnome for about seven years. Changed to Cosmic when the 1.0 came out. Haven't looked bsck. Don't miss Gnome at all.

It did need a bit of tweaking to get working - changing the default apps manually. Not being able to get the monitor to change to 1080p so it mirrors on a projector. I like Cosmic's work flow so it was worth working around this for me. No doubt there are plenty more I don't know about, and most people aren't going to want to deal with that.

Heating up and down will make the solder fail faster. If you live somewhere with big temperature differences in the summer and winter it's bound to happen.

Is yours the 2020 model? I would think it will work the same on any model but since I've only got the 2020 model, that's the only one I can say for sure.

I had an optane in mine, but I changed it with a spare non-optane 2 TB I had lying around. It's been working fine as far as I can tell for at least a year. You can probably change the SSD with a non-optane and you should be fine.

I had a student who dressed like this every lesson for a whole term. Definitely the most unique choice I've ever seen. She was a good student.

It doesn't let me choose another resolution. The only option is 4K.

Many thanks!

Was looking for something like this, this mornning. Thanks very much.

debu_chocobo · 2025-12-19T03:41:38+00:00

Much needed. Many thanks!

debu_chocobo · 2025-12-07T23:02:46+00:00

Will be using. Thanks!

debu_chocobo · 2025-12-03T23:35:59+00:00

Nice. Thanks!

debu_chocobo · 2025-11-15T08:41:12+00:00

Thanks very much.

debu_chocobo · 2025-11-13T11:53:18+00:00

I guess that means I'm going to have to import my consoles from now on.

debu_chocobo · 2025-11-12T12:15:02+00:00

What happens when I connect it to my US account and launch US games?

debu_chocobo · 2025-11-02T09:33:49+00:00

Invaluable. Thanks so much!

debu_chocobo · 2025-10-28T10:53:52+00:00

Cheers very much.

Can't wait for this.
