I recently installed it on my gaming PC with an Nvidia GPU and AMD CPU. It was my first time with Linux and I was partitioning a drive to dual boot windows in case I screwed the whole thing up and needed a fall back. I hit a few speed bumps mostly due to lack of experience and the dual booting (stupid secure boot!).

Beyond that my only issue so far has been an inability to get my VPN app running but since this is just a gaming PC that I don’t use for anything else I’ve just gone without the VPN. The Nvidia GPU has not really caused any problems for me so far to be honest.

I’ve only tried two games so far, Cyberpunk so I could benchmark graphical performance against Windows, and Return to Moria because I wanted to test a cheap game that specifically says it’s not Steamdeck compatible. Both tests have been successful as far as I’m concerned. I will mention that I’m pretty exclusively a solo gamer and I’ve heard that people have had issues with trying to play Return to Moria with friends.

It’s rigid airship!

Fair enough. Maybe one day these companies will stop being total dicks about tying basic functionality to proprietary apps and OSs and we can all finally just choose the stuff we want to choose. Will probably never happen but I can dream.

Google has no ability to offer iMessage compatibility as it’s locked down by Apple. Allegedly Apple devs had a version of iMessage ready to launch on Android and the Apple execs decided to kill it because they felt that keeping iMessage exclusive to Apple would keep users locked in, which clearly they were right about. I’m not interested in a discussion over which phone is better than the other but I don’t care for the false narrative that Google is the one keeping iMessage off of Android.

If we want to start discussing the material processing effort then it’s going to be pretty hard to call any energy source carbon neutral. The concrete for dams and the steel for windmills don’t appear out of thin air.

This Arrested Development/Always Sunny cross over is exactly what I needed today, thank you both.
