As others mentioned, this isn’t America. Also, fraudulent calls to emergency services is a criminal offense, people who do this are usually charged and fined, or even given jail time. It’s not like it’s accepted or mainstream behavior, people just do stupid things and when combined with stupid cops it has led to tragic outcomes. In this video they seem to show up, which they HAVE to do, place the occupant in precautionary detainment, verify there is no crime underway, and release him. They would probably then take a statement, then the next thing would be to get a warrant for the call records and charge the dipshit that started the incident.

Roll towards the target (except when you shouldn’t)?

Either way, Gaben’s not my dad (unfortunately), so I’ll do what I want! Sniiiiiffff

I am using Nobara, which is a Fedora based gaming distro. I definitely do not have to reboot for updates to software outside of system updates to the OS specifically. Updating Discord, Firefox, Steam, Heroic Launcher, Signal, etc does not require a reboot. Something sounds amiss. I am running straight Fedora on my Surface Pro and same story there, basically restart for system upgrades only.

I am, yes. Are you referring to the disappearing mouse cursor thing, because that’s really annoying, but I hadn’t seen any mention of it being linked to Nvidia. It seemed more Proton related. I tried several fixes I found and none worked. There was a few suggestions to switch to XOrg (?) But when I tried that I was locked at 60fps and couldn’t use VRR.

Anyways, I’d say that’s been my most frustrating issue.

I’m mostly a newbie to Linux, I’ve been using it as a main gaming rig for several months and only Nobara. I hear often that AMD is hassle free, but I’m using Nvidia and honestly I’ve had no roadblocks. I started with a 2080ti and have since moved to a 4080, no hassles. There is a built in updater and it automatically downloads the newest driver packages. They are always a version or so behind the latest Windows set but meh. Switching on gSync was as simple as toggling VRR for my 144hz monitor.

The one thing that I needed to look up was getting ray tracing running. There was additional stuff I needed to add in Steam (copy paste from the post I found), and then RTX was up and running.

Like I say, I definitely don’t know better than the people saying AMD is a smart choice, but I don’t think people necessarily need to worry that their Nvidia system is a roadblock to switching to Linux.

The… horror…

I’m sure there is some cool technical stuff going on here, but I have always been confused as to why anyone wants to have their game simulate the symptoms of a concussion. Then again I am a lens flare tolerator, so what do I know.

I don’t know what’s available on the XBox platform, but I would recommend quest and expansion content to introduce people to how mods enrich the game. I would immediately suggest Wyrmstooth, it is an expansion scale mod with dozens of quests, it’s excellently voice acted and slots into the main quest of the base game.

I would also really recommend installing the latest release from Beyond Skyrim. For players used to the base game and it’s expansions, the content of these mods will show the degree to which the game can be pushed by passionate modders, without stepping away from the lore and feel of the original.

Once they get their beak wet in content modding, hit them with the soulslike. Darkend and Vigilant are fantastic. While Darkend tells a discreet story, Vigilance is a Souls inspired take on the deep lore of the Elder Scrolls, largely set in Oblivion.

You could go on and on, there’s so much out there. But that’s what jumps to mind.

I recently switched to Linux for my daily driver. I picked Nobara. It installed, detected my card, and installed drivers. Pretty straightforward. That said, performance isn’t the same. I have just been playing Elden Ring and I am getting the fps, but there’s some stutter and screen tearing even with VRR active. Also, ray tracing isn’t a default, you need to add some stuff to your Steam launch.

Overall if you are looking to switch, get a new drive and start Linux on that. Keep your old Windows setup. At least that worked for me. Now I only boot Windows to mod Skyrim since I haven’t gotten that ironed out in Linux.

I’m not knowledgeable enough to have a clue about the original question since I’m pretty new to Linux overall. Just wanted to say that I selected Nobara for my gaming PC and it’s been a pretty smooth ride. My windows drive is second in the boot order and is probably starting to feel a bit neglected.

I don’t know enough about the Fediverse to have a really educated opinion. At first I found instructions to block it, but then I thought, why? I basically never use Mastodon, when I left Twitter almost no accounts I was following came along. There’s just no connections there that make it a Twitter replacement in my personal case. Looking at the threads idea, of mainstream Twitter users that I used to follow go there, can’t I just follow them individually while remaining safely tucked away on the server I chose?

I may be misunderstanding, but isn’t that how things will theoretically work?
