CS2: Try using -sdlaudiodriver pipewire in launch options

I had a net top thing from asus that had worse specs than that running fine a few years ago on AntiX. It was just used as a thin client mostly but did the job.

In the extremely rare event that I watch a youtube video on a my phone, and an ad comes on, I mute sound and literally turn my head away. Advertisers can’t do shit about that lol.

Even if it comes down to a browser addon placing a black rectangle over the video and muting browser audio when an ad plays, I’ll be choosing that over watching ads.

There’s an outage on aws and various other services which started at the same time. Have a look on downdetector

Unless it was one of those netbook desktop things, holy hell those were bad. I managed to get AntiX running pretty well on one, and tuxracer lagged a LOT. Was pretty useful as a cheap thin client though.

I tried it about 2 years ago and it was a fucking omnishambles on Linux. I presume it has improved since then…

I guess the point is that its complexity is overrated, but still definitely not ‘simple’.

It’s literally a marketing term for a bunch of structured algorithms at this stage - not some sentient witchcraft

I got some weird reverse vertigo looking up from the inside when I was there, it was insanely high. Incredible place though.

…Cup of tea, sir?

Davinci resolve? Its Linux support is a bit obtuse, but it works.

Linux is bad at audio therefore it’s bad at everything? Interesting. Fair point about audio though, if you’re doing anything to do with that then stay clear of Linux. Raspberry pi audio is bad even by Linux standards, lol

I’ve honestly had better luck with retro games on Linux than windows. Half the time lutris can auto install the game with minimal input, and patch the games etc - and even with abandonware titles I just pointed proton at them after installation and no issues.

If you’re on older integrated graphics however, I will admit it can be a lot more problematic.

Do a blind test between 256kbps and 576kbps. I dare you.

It’s not just quality compared with UHD rips, it’s things like prime video refusing to play anything except 480p on a web browser… WTF are they thinking?

My wife works as a TA at a high school - there are students there who can’t even use a PC to do much of anything. E.g. she asked one student to minimise something and the kid asked “What is minimise?”.

Even after explaining which button on the window minimised it, they had no idea you could do that. Opening a read only word document melts their brains when they can’t figure out how to edit anything lol

I thought the failure rate only went up a lot if you burned at very high speeds? I seem to remember having problems with burning an OS to a DVD too fast.

The issue is down to encoding performance, Nvidia performs a LOT better with comparable GPUs.

With that said, h265 is okay from what I’ve seen, but any devices you’re streaming to that use h264 and even a 1060 will stream better than a 6750xt etc

A fix that worked for me on Cyberpunk dropping in performance after that patch - turn everything to low, restart the game, then change settings back to what they were.
