Gigabyte X870 Aorus Elite Wifi7

I tend to avoid Gigabyte, but the only stock of 9800X3Ds available was in motherboard bundles on Newegg, so I ended up with it lol

I also noticed that Bluetooth still isn’t working, so I am still waiting for 100% compatibility.

I game on Linux lol

is it even noticeable beyond 100hz when not gaming

Actually yes, honestly it’s most noticeable when moving your mouse or dragging windows around. It’s insanely smooth.

My old monitor was 165hz and I didn’t expect the jump to be noticeable, but it actually was. It’s definitely well beyond the point of diminishing returns (120 is fine imo), but it’s still a nice upgrade.

For sure, if I was in the market for a laptop, System76, Tuxedo, and (while not exclusively Linux) Framework would be at the top of my list

For general PC hardware though, I’ve always been late to the party. I upgraded to Ryzen 3000 right before 5000 was coming out, so hardware support was already perfect on Linux. That’s basically been my upgrade strategy for the past 10 years, so I’ve personally never really encountered these teething problems before now.

adding in support for end user hardware is an accident and requires extra effort on hardware makers’ part who don’t always rise to the challenge when they don’t believe it’s profitable enough for the effort; in which case, volunteers have to step in to fill the gap.

That’s really the crux of the problem. How can we make companies care and/or better support volunteers to get patches out sooner.

Readable on Voyager as well.

EDIT: Not to say it looks good, but it’s readable.

The biggest problem to me was the official Proton reddit account making an official statement agreeing with Andy. Andy blamed this on a “miscommunication” and it has since been deleted, but probably only because of the backlash they were receiving.

Holy shit he’s still arguing with people about this today?

I started using FreshRSS around the same time Reddit killed their API, it has rapidly become one of my favorite self-hosted apps.

Also,

open source software releases I follow

You have just taught me that I can add github release pages to my feed, I love FreshRSS even more now.

Same here. I really enjoy Nonagon Infinity but haven’t been able to get into any other album of theirs.

Madeon - Good Faith

I adore Madeon’s first album, Adventure. I knew Good Faith would be different and I was really looking forward to it anyway, and it when it finally came out, it just never clicked with me. It’s an album I come back to probably once per year to try it again, but I just don’t vibe with it. It’s an album I respect a lot, but I just don’t like it.

Justice - Hyperdrama

Still a pretty new release admittedly. That opening track is one of Justice’s best ever songs, but the rest of the album just isn’t grabbing me. I’m hoping it’ll grow on me over time.

To twist your question a bit: The Glitch Mob - Ctrl Alt Reality

Another case of an artist moving in a totally different direction, and when I first listened to it, I didn’t like it. Similar feelings to Good Faith. But then I listened to it again. Then again. Then again. There wasn’t a sudden moment where it clicked, it just got better with every listen. It’s probably my second favorite album of theirs now.

And to twist your question even more. I thought I would dislike: Muse - Will of the People

I’ve been in the camp of “modern Muse isn’t that bad” for a while, but there’s clearly been a downward trend. Even I cannot defend Simulation Theory. I expected WOTP to be more of the same, and somehow I ended up loving it. It is maximum Muse cheesiness, in the best way possible.

Early release is a nice surprise, especially after F40 (or was it 39?) got delayed so many times. Upgrade went smooth for me, upstream accent colors are nice to finally have. Kind of a bummer it doesn’t apply to Nautilus icons though.

it’ll usually be the artist’s name. Like if you search for “Taylor Swift”, you’ll get exactly zero results because that phrase is blacklisted due to a complaint from the label. If you instead search for a specific song, you will see results, and can work backwards from there to find the album you’re looking for.

The last time I had trouble finding something on Soulseek, it was an album that had released a month or two ago, so it might’ve still been too new.

Yeah, I’ve had to use that blacklist workaround on many occasions, lol

Really good, but I did have to remove the screen protector as I was getting line jitter with it on.

Palm rejection is better than I expected but not as good as an iPad.

I’ve been using a Wacom Bamboo Ink Plus. Pressure sensitivity and stuff works out of the box, no additional drivers needed or anything.

Krita is excellent.

Linux User Space is excellent. I also listen to Linux Unplugged, 2.5 Admins (not strictly Linux), and The Linux Experiment’s patreon podcast.

This is just blank writable discs, movies and TV shows on bluray will continue to be produced… for now.
