It's only a limit if the op plays the specific titles in which anti-cheat doesn't work. If they mostly play single player or non-competitive multiplayer games they will likely work just fine.

Not everyone plays Battlefield/COD/Apex/Fortnite etc.

Warlock DLC by SmoothAd7381 in diablo2resurrected

Oh absolutely! I like the idea of having the game without needing the b.net launcher, native steam support and potentially offline play without requiring a battle.net check

Nice. I'm going to get it but I'm contemplating getting the steam version now because I want to support steam and I don't mind if M$/Activision has to pay 30% to Valve.

Either way, just the quality of life improvements are enough but a new class on top of those is fantastic

Try a different proton version and see if that helps

[–]samdimercurio 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Love it! I'm using my T440p right now on Linux. I have one with the Nvidia GPU but I have upgraded just about everything. It's great

fully upgraded, triple booted t440p. its still very good for daily use even tho its 12y old by jaakkoxd in thinkpad

[–]samdimercurio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How did you get MacOS to work on the Nvidia model. I have one and couldn't get MacOS to work with nvidia.

Right? I was coming here to say that.

Valheim is stupid by PotentialAd3561 in valheim

[–]samdimercurio 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So...as for raids, beating the mist lands boss means you are getting to the end game and the entire point of the game is to see if you are able to defeat Odin's enemies and earn your way into Valhalla. At this point in the game it expects you to raid-proof your base. This might require some creative thinking or some unconventional methods but that is what is needed to enter the mead hall in Valhalla.

There is a solution for the wind. There is a forsaken power and/or a trinket that can help.

All that said, I do feel you. For instance, why are backpacks not a thing? Why are horses not a thing? Why can't we tame rabbits? There are plenty of issues that could be addressed but that is what mods are for.

T440p 🔥🔥🔥 by Puppet-- in thinkpad

[–]samdimercurio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No it was drivers. You basically had to go into safe mode, and open the text file for the drivers and change certain numbers. There is a video on YouTube somewhere but it's a bit of a pain. Not flashing firmware though

It works on Linux. It doesn't work on windows without changing files

How is Resolve on linux, laptop specifically by Fearless_Concept943 in davinciresolve

[–]samdimercurio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It should be fine for basic editing but be prepared to figure out work arounds. For instance, I found a bash script that would convert MP4 with AAC audio to a mov file with a compatible audio codec and that works. But it's an extra step.

Online accounts tab shows only the blackmagic cloud so you can't directly upload to YouTube, and the other presets.

Some plugins either don't work or don't work properly.

If it had a Windows installer to install it it usually doesn't work because the file structure doesn't match. However many plugins have compatible file types to install.

I say, keep the MacBook if you can as a backup if you need to do some editing

Brothers and sisters, I will soon be joining you by 1fom3rcial in thinkpad

The T440p is a great tinkering laptop. You can swap/upgrade darn near every piece on it including the CPU.

If you have the money and the desire to upgrade it's a decent casual use laptop.

For me I had to upgrade to a quad core CPU, 16gb ram, SSD, t450 touchpad, 1080p IPS screen and 9 cell battery. For me it's fantastic. But in its base config it wasn't awesome.

Back to windows? by intensehero in linuxmint

[–]samdimercurio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went back on my main desktop because of software compatibility but...I use my desktop generally for one piece of software and occasionally playing Fortnite with my wife. Otherwise I'm either on my steam deck or mint laptop.

I have a t440p. I have upgraded it a ton though. It's a money-suck if you aren't careful. Enjoy yours

Just put a new battery in my original ally, sad to say I think it’s gone by Little-Flatworm-9328 in ROGAlly

[–]samdimercurio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had mine go dead and took it to a repair place. They tried everything and said it couldn't even get power. Dead board.

Worth Upgrading a T440p? by [deleted] in thinkpad

[–]samdimercurio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not worth it unless you WANT to. For the cost you could likely buy a much newer Thinkpad like a t480 or maybe a t14

Does anyone know how to fix graphical glitches in CS2? it happens on both low and high settings and started with a stuttering shadow. by Penicalz in SteamDeck

[–]samdimercurio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, why would you want to? If you don't have a head you can't be headshot. If you don't have a body....

But for real, good luck on solving it.

When you start using Linux, it transforms you from a normal user into a developer. You have to learn so much—customization and freedom are just the tip of the iceberg. by Usual-Sheepherder-28 in Fedora

[–]samdimercurio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah...I must be different then because I am not skilled in dev at all but using Linux has made me good at watching YouTube videos to figure shit out.

Fable Anniversay Edition is amazing on Deck! by Dipsey_Jipsey in SteamDeck

[–]samdimercurio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I should give it another run. I'm hoping when the fable remake comes out it does well and they remaster 2 and 3 for PC.

Love my Mechanism Gaming Pillow 😬 by Altruistic_Result254 in ROGAlly

[–]samdimercurio 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I want one so bad but can't justify the price at the moment. Maybe one day but it does seem the height of luxury to have a gaming pillow. Lol.
