Linux may very well not be for you, but using Arch first is like jumping into the deep end to learn how to swim. It’s no surprise you’re drowning. I’d recommend you try a gaming-focused distro like Nobara before you go back to Windows for good.

This is a great list of USB wifi adapter chipset compatibility.

That’s fair. It’s an all-around sucky situation regardless, and it makes sense why AMD isn’t marketing socket longevity quite as much in AM5 as they were with AM4.

I do think losing capabilities for older CPUs in favor of new ones is pretty common for long lived sockets, and is an acceptable tradeoff for longevity imo. The board I was originally using for a 2600X never promised 5000 series support, but almost added it anyways. Unfortunately it never got beyond a beta bios, and I decided that wasn’t good enough for me (and I ended up giving the old mobo to my sister in a build for them, so it all worked out anyways).

How did you know the CPU wasn’t the problem? Sometimes CPUs have defects. Especially given the underclocking seemed to help.

I believe that the custom for a lot of wine patch notes is just to mention the first application reported with the bug even if it affects many applications. So that could be what’s happening here.

I’m in a similar boat. I’ve got a bunch of small Wayland niggles, but I’m waiting to investigate them until after I switch to Tumbleweed when it gets Plasma 6 (I’m currently on Kubuntu).

Some people have kids, I guess.

AMD/Nivdia GPUs will still run with RISC-V. RISC-V is a CPU architecture, not GPU.

Just to let people know, this is a 6 year old article. Not saying it isn't relevant, but the market of course continues to move over time.

Sounds like the article uninstalled itself.

It even applies to new installs of existing games.

Yeah this feels like Wizard of the Coast’s first response to the OGL drama. Make some changes that are technically better than the first terrible system, but is ultimately still completely unacceptable. WotC eventually had to walk back everything, we’ll see if Unity does the same.

For it to really stick, it needs to be enshrined in law. Until then it’s just a temporary FCC policy that could get easily removed at some point in the future.

Steam works on Linux.

You can’t move around in them, it’s either play or pause and repeat, which sucks (as shorts don’t have to be short…)

Oddly enough, this seems to be a desktop limitation. I can scrub backwards and forwards just fine on my phone.

I think that’s exactly right. I think there is a one-time cost they could pay, but it’s a lot more, so they just didn’t bother.

I agree. I’m not sure whether Amazon should get fines the second a bad seller makes a bad action, but they should definitely have to prove (according to external criteria) that they are making good faith efforts to remove bad actors.

I believe when Google lengthened their support period, it only applied to new models of Chromebooks, not already released ones.
