You’re right, it doesn’t at all capture how disturbing the reality is.

I’m not going back arch/bazzite to try this. For two reasons, 1. I can’t enable those things, my hardware doesn’t support reBAR. And 2. My issue sounds potentially different. I could load and run the game, but it would crash regularly. Realistically, if this is the issue my only solution is to roll back to an old kernel (not supported in arch), and I’m not sure if that fly’s in bazzite either. Distro hoping to Mint is then a great solution, even if I didn’t take a rational path there.

I run fedora 40 on my work laptop, and I am blow away at how capable Wayland+gnome is for plug and go multiple monitor support. You could never have done it with X, every meeting you’d want 15min to make sure you can share your screen.

Oh yeh good catch.

I can’t do resizable bar, so it would have been a kernel regression to fix (if that was the issue). I think patched in next release. Although I never got any error messaging in any logs that i could see :(

The nice thing about the deck, at least from an outsiders perspective, is that everyone’s got the more or less same hardware. If you have an issue most likely someone else has the same issue, and already has a fix that’ll work for you.

Why use metric? Because the fact that 1440KiB is 1.41MiB is annoying.

It doesn’t make it better, it’s just really much more convenient when you’re working in a base 10 digit system. There are lots of times when the advantages of an alternative unit system outweighs that convenience.

Its a funny thing that so many people are emotionally attached to unit systems. It’s a tool, use the best one for the job.

Both

Wait, what’s your definition of a disease?

Might not be able to afford it?

Nothing to do with cost, overlord Mudcock didn’t want foxtel to lose customers to internet streaming.

Inventory limits are a direct nerf to barrelmancy

Sure.

What i don’t follow is why you’re having this experience, when for the average user is click to install and play out if the box for many many games.

If it’s not the game, because you’ve checked protondb, and it’s not the software, because you’ve installed multiple distros i feel like you’ve either got some super unique hardware challenge or you’re making a unlikely mistake. Heaven forbid people ask you if you’ve done things that are obvious, we’re just trying to help. Nothing sucks more than sinking time into getting a game to work for it to fail.

Regardless, based on highly emotional responses to many posts my guess is that you’re the root cause of your own problems.

Lol, so defensive.

So the games not running is a problem unique to your system then

Do you check protondb?

I think you are correct, this meeting in isolaton is fine. The indirect implications, however, is that this meeting constitutes the full internal review and response to an employee leaving in a disgruntled state. I obviously don’t know that is true, however the fact that linus has admitted to being shocked by the allegations suggests that a the very least an effective HR exit interview hasn’t happened.

If I was running a company, regardless of my position on personal care about my employees wellbeing, I’d want meetings such as the one in this post a routine. Not only ‘when something happens’. I’d want one on one interviews in the cases like this. So that when things like a former employee comes out with allegations like this I’m not shocked, because I already know and tried to deal with them reasonable or I have solid grounds to claim that reasonable effort was undertaken to know these things were happening.

I don’t know how it is in Canada, but C suite and board can have personal liability with duty of care to employees in Australia. Ignorance is not generally an excuse for a good reason.

This would be a stronger argument, if it wasn’t 20 years old already.

I dunno, I’ve been blown away with how stable Arch is over the last 5 years I’ve been using it. I’ve not updated for 6 month + periods, i was worried but I just needed to update the keys first. Also I don’t even have a boot usb, apart from install (and learning some hard lessons about UFEI stubs) I’ve not had to recover a single time.

It’s a stark contrast to 2011 when I decided I just didn’t have time to do my PhD and maintain my arch install and went back to Windows.
