Quoting: BlackBloodRumWith regards to Nova, I had completely forgotten about them! I just did some "window shopping" there, the customizable rack mount servers are pretty neat, lots of HDD slots! Going to keep it in mind for when I eventually get around to building that "Super NAS" I keep saying I'm going to build. :whistle:

I really.. really should not be looking at "computer shop" websites.. it's dangerous! :grin: :grin:

Novatech is OG.

btw i mean, the other, other shop.. that Liam is not fond of right now ;)

Quoting: BlackBloodRumNice!

Scan have always been great in my experience, I've used them many times for computer bits. :smile:

Far better than using Amazon :tongue:

Scan is good.

If your in the UK there is another (less blingy looking) but solid shop:

https://www.novatech.co.uk/ [External Link]

it's always been a good one to get PC parts from. They don't have the variety of SCAN (or that other big UK computer shop :whistle: ) but the service is good.

Im probably going to get this wrong, but i thought that the new big picture was QT (because SteamOS runs KDE was my thinking). And historically for me, QT has run very smooth and slick it makes GTK3 feel like a rigid old wooden door in comparison (i think GTK4 should narrow the gap or remove it entirely at least i hope it does).

So why is it then that the new big picture mode runs like an old wooden door ? If you scroll through the Recent games thumbnails it almost judders.. not entirely judder y but its certainly not butter smooth by any means. And a modern PC on which i am running ( with nvidia GPU ) should be able to run through these types of scrolls butter smooth ?

The regular client just feels as useless as ever. How do they code these things to be so archaic feeling, it's a talent valve have im sure. It should feel as snappy as a Smart phone scrolling through the UI. If a 5w handheld device with a higher resolution than my desktop can do it why can't a 250w PC ?

Looking forward to the day we can use HDR ootb on Linux without needing to patch various things or run specific compositors.

One day, I hope this repeating launcher problem gets solved for good, it's frustrating to have games work great and then suddenly one update later they're full of issues because of an extra launcher.

It's borderline anti-consumer. I wouldn't be too bothered if these things were regulated out of existence.

Quoting: whatever€80 eh? triplehey games finally reached the price of early 90s games (adjusting for inflation). but at least back then they used to give you a boxed version with lot of stuff like manuals, maps, and various trinkets.

Reminds me of when Starfox64 came out and was selling for around £90 - £110 in stores. But at least then you got a physical cart with a literal system upgrade by way of the SuperFX Chip.

Quoting: CalinouI've noticed the Steam Deck has increased interest in Flatpaks/Flathub a lot. There are a lot more Flatpaks to choose from nowadays compared to last year, even for more obscure things like OpenArena running on a more modern Quake 3 source port [External Link].

interesting, thanks.
