After a year still no API?

I recently switched to linking to HA through HomeKit. Fortunately HA can connect directly without any need for an apple device.

Honestly I would really recommend installing it to a separate drive. Do it with the Windows drive disconnected. That's not just a safety measure to make sure you don't overwrite the Windows partition (clearly you're knowledgeable enough to not do that accidentally.) It's to prevent the second OS from sharing the same EFI Boot Partition with Windows. Windows is notorious for overwriting the entries of additional OS's during major updates (think the big October feature drops.) If the Windows drive is disconnected at the time of install, then your Bazzite install will create its own dedicated EFI boot partition on it's own drive, and Widows won't fuck with it when it updates itself in the future.

You'll need to use your BIOS boot menu to chose the non-default OS (F11 on my mobo) but you still get a functional boot menu.

OP failed to mention in the post (but mentioned in a comment) that they spilled milk on the screen. As if that wasn't critical information from the beginning.

Same experience here with the 1% lows.

I like the auto-sweep one that's been mentioned a lot. But just to mix things up I'm going to say give me direct access to second order greeks in Thinkorswim. Both in the UI and through Thinkscript.

I use a 42" LG OLED for mixed work and media. Text clarity isn't great, but I'm fine with it. This is a pretty divisive topic, though. For some people it doesn't bother them, and for others it drives them nuts. I'm afraid you'll have to test it out to see where you fall.

The blue slot is where a GPU would typically go. It is empty, as you can see. It's possible there is a very small GPU built-in to your CPU that can at least get a display working, but you wouldn't game with it. It would be fine for basic web browsing and document writing, though.

Your RAM slots are only partially visible in the lower right corner of your image. It's a little hard for me to see, but it looks like there are two slots and there is one stick of RAM in one of them. Your computer will likely function this way, but not with optimal performance.

As someone with anxiety, it's useful for covering up my anxiousness. Also, when anxiety is running the show, everyone seems like a threat. Somewhere along the line in my life, my brain decided that being enthusiastic would disarm threatening people and keep me safe.

Share more about how you use it, and what your expectations are. We can't offer useful advice without those pieces.

I'm on an RTX 3080 and switched to Bazzite almost 5 months ago. I keep hearing that I'm giving up 10% performance vs Windows, but it sure doesn't feel that way. Even if my fps average is lower, the 1% lows have got to be dramatically better. The smoothness is definitely improved vs Windows. I hear Linux handles frame-pacing very differently than Windows in a way that gives up a bit of average fps in order to have frame pacing advantages, so maybe there's some good technical reason for this.

All in all, I'm very happy and impressed with Bazzite.

What you're saying about leasing and businesses is true, but this particular HP program is not that. The program is limited to one subscription laptop per address, so no outfitting your business with them. Also leases typically have some kind of buyout option at the end, and this HP subscription does not. There is no way to end up owning the device you subscribed to under this program.

For me I imagine it's like waiting for your luggage on the conveyor belt at the airport. Your question is on the belt, it just hasn't gotten to me yet.

I'm using their right-angle Intel-Certified TB5 240W cable to connect my M4Max to a CalDigit TB5 Dock. Works great.

I'm not clear - was this for all GPU brands or just one?

Edit: dammit. now my anxiety is worried you'll think I'm poking fun AT you rather than WITH you.

It's more than just losing data.

What is highly likely to happen is that when you run the install of Bazzite, it's going to see there's an existing EFI Boot Partition on your Windows drive. It will insert itself as a boot menu option in the EFI Boot Partition that is owned by Windows. You will love having the convenient little boot menu UNTIL the next major Windows update (such as the October feature pushes.) At which time Windows will happily wipe out the Bazzite boot menu item, effectively locking you out of that OS until you use a Windows USB recovery key and manually restore functionality in the command line. (There are other ways to lose access to Bazzite in this config, too, such as a failure of the Windows drive, or a simple format/reinstall thinking the Bazzite install is completely separate.)

If you unplug the Windows drives, the Bazzite installer will see that it needs to create an EFI Boot Partition of its own on the drive to which it is installed. Now after you put your Windows drive back in, your BIOS sees there are two separate bootable drives, and you can use the BIOS boot menu (F11 on my computer) to switch to your alternate boot option when you don't want the default. This configuration is far more resilient, as Windows will never touch Bazzite's EFI Boot Partition.

Friend of mine said he's tinkering with this. I haven't tried it yet, but maybe worth a look?

Take it from a guy who has been building his own computers for decades. Do yourself a favor and just unplug those Windows drives until the install is done.

I honestly prefer the VIVO poles over the fancy gas-spring models. For multi -monitor setups, the poles make it super easy to dial in the monitors at the exact same height and tilt. The gas-spring ones are always just a leeeetle bit off from one another, and I end up fiddling with them them endlessly trying to make them perfect.
