I'm annoyed on behalf of my friend since she has a RX 6700 XT. I picked out the parts at the beginning of 2023 because her now husband wanted to surprise her with a new computer. We went with it because it was the same price as the 3060 12gb at the time. She has no need for an upgrade as the main games she plays e-sports games, games like peak and R.E.P.O, and alot of FFXIV. Tho she hates updating drivers so she probably wouldn't mind too much.

I used to not recommend AMD cards to my friends do to not liking the Vega windows drivers when I was on windows, do to bugs I had and the terrible OpenGL performance since we played a lot of Minecraft back then and it would prevent us from playing games on Citra together.

I started recommending AMD cards again (if they where just gaming) starting with her computer because AMD resolved those issues. But now I question it since me and my friends don't upgrade computer that often and we don't all have a lot of money. We just upgraded half our GPUs from basically high school this year RX 580 4gb --> 2080ti(Does Video editing and 3D modeling), 1660 ti --> 5070 ti(just wanted to stay on Nvidia), Vega 56 --> RX 7700 XT(Me). I just recommended a RX 9070 to a friend since they want to upgrade their whole computer from high school (it can't update to windows 11 and they can't use Linux) we build for $500 with a RX 570 4gb and want it to last some time but now I question how long that card will get updates and if I should tell them to change it to a 5070 since they are still saving up for it.

@chickenb00
Its been effectively no issues on the Linux side their is a KDE bug where sometimes when switching from tablet to laptop mode the cursor doesn't come back and requires a reset. That may have been fixed in this update as I can't trigger it anymore. I have scaling set to 125% and have had only one program not play nice with the scaling (fuzzy text and large curser). No other issues I can think of with the software.

As for the laptop itself I have the i5-1334U version and I got separately 48gb of Crucial ram first boot took some time and scared me. The laptop is loud so I almost always have it in powersave mode because of this. I wish the battery life was a bit longer tho I've not tried it out and about as I've been stuck at home so maybe when I go back to school or work it will be fine. I don't think this is a framework/linux issues as other laptop I've used on windows or linux the microphone can't be set to more then 30-40% volume or it will always be static. Those are my only complaints really compared to my last laptop I had since 2018 the screen is much better on the framework and way more repairable. All the expansion cards I've got have no issue Ethernet, SD card, and HDMI just work.

Everyone I've shown my laptop to really likes it. My dad loves how repairable it is as me and him used to run a computer repair store. My mom likes it since it reduces waist and the need to get a whole new laptop. My sister is jealous that I have a pink/blue laptop. And my uncle/god father who works on cars in his free time loves it for how repairable and modular it is.

Been using Bazzite on my Framework 12 since I've got it and it has cause no issues just a little weird to get a VPN on it.

I've also installed it on a old office PC my aunt got rid of since it couldn't update to windows 11 so I made a living room PC. Had some spare Graphics cards and power supplies from me and my friends upgrading. Started with a RX 580 4GB but the case would trap hot air in the bottom so I switch to my Vega 56 just now which has a flow though cooler and it doesn't trap the air. Only issue is that HDR colors in game mode are wrong but the living room TV doesn't have HDR so thats not an issue.

I'm surprised at how well Sandy Bridge holds up the i5-2320 gets 60fps or close to it in alot of games. Stellar blade 50-60 fps Digimon Story Time Stranger 60 fps Monster hunter Rise 50-60fps Scarlet nexus 60-100 fps. Also the LADV CPU scheduler helps a lot on this CPU.

This could be useful as I have a second computer I use for console mod stuff among other things but some of the stuff I do with consoles is either easier with the Windows tools or are not on Linux (Fatxplorer being one of them). Tho I have learned you need Linux to install PS2 BBN Translation.

@d3Xt3r This was 3 years ago at this point since I've tried but Microsoft Train Simulator didn't work. I don't remember the entire issue at this point as I've forgotten. You can play the game by using Openrails though wine/proton but Openrail is just compatible with the game it's not one to one. I can't remember any other game that I've tried to run that I owned as a kid that doesn't work at all. Hotwheels Stunt Track challenge complains you have an incompatible GPU. I think it does that because it has a list of compatible cards it checks some how the steam run time fixes that.

Fixed long loading times in God Eater Resurrection

Finally God Eater is fixed I think this should fix God Eater 2 as well I think it had the same bug so they should be playable now. The long loads were 5-10 minutes maybe more for everything the game had to load every character option, every weapon, loading a level. Will finally be able to the game now because this game was first broken by the DRM then when they fixed the DRM issue this bug was their since 2019 I think.

I wish waking the steam deck with a non-steam game open from sleep wouldn't log me out on desktop when i have a game open on it. When I'm in queue for games I want to use my steam deck since I have GOG and emulated games on it but if I forget to go into offline more I just log my self out on my computer.

Quoting: PixelDrop

Quoting: PixelDropStill seems like it has a ways to go. Trying to move my PolyMC setups over to Prism has just an endless mess of errors for everything except my rarely used Vanilla instance and my super lightly modded hardcore instance.

Everything with a lot of mods is a nightmare of errors thus far. Which is confusing because it's the same version of Minecraft, same mod launcher version, same mod versions, and same java version.

Tried something kind of stupid and it fixed all my issues.

I took my PolyMC folder and copied everything in it.
Pasted it all in the Prism folder, chooshing not to override anything eg skip all conflicts which was 90% of the files, and now everything works with no errors.

So I'm guessing the current prism release is missing an important dependency file, seeing as nothing was overridden but clearly there was something Poly had in the folder that Prism needed to work properly but didn't come with.

Everything worked for me just copying the instance folder and setting the ram usage correctly. That's all they say to do https://prismlauncher.org/wiki/getting-started/migrating-multimc/ [External Link]

Quoting: Purple Library GuySo how's Yuzu on the Deck? Which is better to play Switch games on, the actual Switch or the Deck?

Only just got my steam deck so not much time with it so iv only tried three houses in the first battle I got 22 to 30 fps in vulkan and stable 30 in opengl but very long first time shader compilation and the experimental mesa only shader crashes at launch. In the free roam in opengl there is visual artifacts and vulkan has slowdown/different artifact. This is my early finds and I still need to get my friends hackable switch so I can dump my own games (I do own three houses).

Glad there is integration with origin now if only EA would give me my games back they deleted off my account and 2 of them ive have physically since i was 13 because of them. All EA support says to me is that the games are linked to a different account and tell me i forgot my info to my real account even though i checked every email i had by myself and check with EA support if those emails had accounts and they said no to all but the one i used.
