I still think that CS:GO is not part of the CS family, and one of my biggest pet peeves is the disabled friendly fire outside competitive games. (I will not mention the huge amount of cheaters).

I only played 900 hours but it pays for the other games (selling crates and stuffs − also it is considered gambling in France to buy keys to open them).

My internet connection is still ADSL with a narrow bandwith, and I have disabled the pre-caching a long time ago, because there is no benefits for me I only play a handful of games from my library ten times bigger. So a per-game option would be nice.

To me, 10 years is not that old considering I'll have my "20 Years of Service" badge from Steam in September :cry:
For the occasion I remember the first game my parents bought for me was 007: Licence to Kill [External Link] with one 5"1/4 floppy disk for each graphics configuration (VGA, EGA).

Those 10 years have been really nice especially when it ended my journey, from MS-DOS 5 to Win7, to start a Linux only one :happy: (at least at home).

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo…

I have used cold cathode black light and other light stripes to pimp a little bit my PC in LANs (more than 23 years ago) but I was fully in control of the setup.

What I can't stand is light that cannot be controlled/switched off and Linux is not really well equipped for that (and yes I know it's better by the minute but still…).

My RTX FE is covered in PVC tape to avoid the light from lighting my room, and yes my PC case is equipped with a tempered glass because I had no choice (my setup is reversed to open from the left of the case).

The LED strips are really handy to have a look from time to time to inspect fans and dustiness but are control with a physical switch on the "be quiet!".

Edit: I use the stealth mode from the Asus BIOS and it works well except for the RTX ;)

I fully agree too. Epic for example will never see any of my money. 2K is borderline but I don't care to wait 6 months (in fine it is cheaper and bugs are fixed for the most part) the exclusive "buyer" hopefully lose money because I'm sure that it must cost a ton of money to lock an AAA game to your platform.

I'm always amazed at CEOs or board of directors that does not understand shit about what they manage and then complain about the market, piracy, other platforms monopoly or whatever…
A polished turd in a box with a golden key is still crap.

Quoting: BlackBloodRum

Quoting: starfarerWell disabling the GPU is not an option since I am actively using it, that's why I am still on X11 (although it has many other issues).

I've only now seen the merge request but it looks like it failed.

Oh!

Well hopefully the issue gets resolved, it at least looks like some people are trying to make progress on it :grin:

Quoting: BogomipsIf I turn off a monitor (to watch a movie for example) and the PC goes to sleep all the windows and icons from the extended screen are back to the main screen when waking up. (If you lock the icons there is no difference.)

Your monitor may have an option to switch "power button action" - usually between standby and off, if it's set to "OFF" the computer is able to detect this action.

If set to standby, your computer should be oblivious to this action.

Thus, you may be able to set it to "Standby", avoiding this issue :smile: - Though it highly depends on the monitor and many don't offer the option to switch it off.

As for the sleeping when monitor off, that may be a power setting - check your power settings.

(This is a very simplified explanation)

:huh: interesting! I need to investigate thx.

As a rule a thumb every 3 KDE updates I must delete the settings to be able to login back after a reboot without a black background and no launcher.

System monitor has lost access to GPU sensors and is way less neat and compact than KSysGuard. It often feels like nothing is tested and tools are replaced without the equivalent features.

So in fine I use KDE because I can't stand Gnome but that's it…

For me it worked out of the box, proton experimental gave me a black screen but 7.0-5 is just fine.

Default settings (Ultra) allow around 45-49 FPS on a RTX 3080.

The only drawback so far is it crashes from time to time, I would say every 10 to 15 rooms.

Haven't played Crysis since around 2008, and the remastered trilogy is very affordable on steam right now, so I will give a try to all of them in at least 6 hours :sad:
