As lime mentions, look at swap. The Mint installer should have suggested it, but if not it’s pretty easy to setup after the fact (just use a swap file instead of a partition). Windows does this as well and it should pretty clearly deal with OOM.
Coral Island has a platinum rating on ProtonDB so it should be absolutely no sweat to run if you have the resources.
I have a wife stuck in the Adobe-verse and yeah, going back that far should work great. It didn’t become a huge hassle until they started being insane with the licensing.
I have this setup with Plasma, and it is probably easier to do this at the Linux level. I added this to my kernel command line: drm.edid_firmware=DP-1:edid/lg-ultra.bin video=DP-1:3840x2160@60e
Where that EDID file I dumped from a spare monitor using a method I got here.
Anyway, it can be tricky to pick the right device, but I can confirm Sunshine sees it and works properly, and it can be managed like a normal monitor.
I have been a user since around 2000, I work in Linux every day, and I get where you’re coming from - but in the context of gaming Linux has really only recently come into its own.
Like, could you imagine, circa 2010, telling a naive user that practically their whole Steam library would work with one click? Wine has always been a minor miracle, but at some point there was an inversion between being surprised when it worked, and being surprised that it didn’t work…
I burned a Blu-ray a few years back just to supplement some of our encrypted Google Drive backups with copies that would be more accessible in case of my demise, or physically grabbable in case of disaster. I know they won’t last forever, but if Drive shut down on the same day my local copies failed at least I have an option.
Otherwise, I haven’t used physical media in years. I got the 4K LOTR set when it came out and tried to use it, but it ended up being easier to just pirate the rips like anything else.
Linus’ apathy may keep ten different competing security ideas from each being mainlined, but it’s not impossible for them to continue and prove their worth out of tree until some sort of coherent best practices are established.
Meanwhile, actual security issues will continue to be patched as needed and Linux remains the most analyzed and targeted kernel in the world.
To be clear, I just mean release as in B42 becoming available as default. Their long term plans are great though, I look forward to playing them in 2030 haha.
I haven’t played multiplayer, but Build 42 is really shaping up. Game is getting more survival-y in that you can make a lot more stuff from components (ore, clay etc.) and there is real wildlife/ livestock to make more food craftable from renewable post-apocalyptic sources. The lighting has been overhauled, some older areas have been revamped to be more realistic, buildings can be much taller. They even added a bit of randomness to the map with random basements. I’m really hopeful this patch gets guns right too, they’ve improved previously but still take way too long to become viable IMO.
They must be pretty close to official release, it’s really getting there.
Look on my works Sim Mayor and
I agree, but I can envision scenarios where you are integrating into someone else’s workflow/machine and they (or their build system etc.) are expecting a shell script. Python is ubiquitous but sometimes you just want to work like everything else.
I mean, anything is possible, but that seems farfetched to me. The router is typically a hard target for malware unless you have physical or at least LAN access. They are generally pretty locked down and don’t execute anything from remote access, they examine packet headers and send them on their way. If it was compromised I’d expect something more nefarious than ruining file transfers too.
The biggest strike against this being a network hardware/driver issue is that normal browsing works. If packets were being screwed up in transit, connections would drop, text and images would be corrupt as well (which the browser would probably choke on). It seems to have an issue only when the disk is involved, when data is being saved.
No sweat, I hope that’s enlightening. Another thing that may be interesting is checking dmesg after you trigger the input/output error (or just generally since you are seeing silent corruption). Bad errors there are usually signs of hardware issues, and may also give you something more specific to search with.
Huh, storage or RAM problems would be evident in your file tests (and elsewhere). Can you visit websites normally? Stream YouTube etc.? It would be very strange for a broken network device to corrupt files.
Also, since you didn’t mention where the downloads are coming from… No chance of corruption at the source?
The input/output error makes me think disk issue (since it should copy corrupt files just fine, it’s just data) but that should also be triggered by copying from a separate device. A more thorough disk check may be in order, like a badblock run or something.
Definitely agree. Had a couple of them and loved some of the ideas (touchpad sticks, gyro to mouse aim, all of the Steam Input flexibility) but they never really eclipsed my rechargeable Dualshocks in terms of feeling right. Taking some of the Deck’s refinements and giving it another spin is welcome.
Seriously. I want a personal HUD for navigation and reminders that also corrects my vision (like normal glasses), not to become a walking surveillance device / info mine.
In a weird way this makes Linux a microkernel. They’re “macro” but isolated and cooperative. Coolest patch set I’ve read about in a while.
You are getting this from Xwayland, so you’re running a rootless X server in the background. It’s nice that it works seamlessly, but it’s not really Wayland doing anything but managing the X window.
Agreed. It’s one thing if it’s climate change or something where we at least need to put a plan out there even if there’s zero chance of it happening, but for basic common sense stuff like this don’t bother. If we ever get back to trying to make average American lives better with the government, this is low hanging fruit.
This is about Linux kernel driver maintainership… It’s all open source.
For ancient stuff, maybe, but AMD is also active in enabling new stuff in the kernel and userspace. AMD basically invented Vulkan, and have had the best open source driver stack for years at this point.
I love what Valve has done for Linux, but it’s the last mile of track at the end of huge amounts of outside work enabling the hardware to work in the first place.
