Wayland is still unusable for me. Was happily running Wayland in 5.27 But have encountered nothing but issues in 6.0, main one being performing any sort of action with animations, scrolling, opening notifications etc causes the desktop frame rate to pummet, sometimes even hitting zero. All AMD build as well. I’ll keep checking back to see if it’s fixed but I’m too new to Linux to do any real sleuthing. X11 has been working fine in the meantime.
Was hoping someone else caught that it was a S130 in the photo.
Could turn it into a emulation box, play some classics.
Thank you for reminding me of Material Shell, I tried it years ago on an older build of Zorin OS and it crashed constantly. Excited to give it another whirl, and great to see he’s working on the same concept with a new implementation,
Yep. Came across a computer recently still running Windows 2000 on it. Fan sounded like a truck with a bad lifter tick 😂
That’s really bad, sounds like a winter compound tire was sold as an all-season or something. That sounds like the typical treadwear for a winter tire that gets run in the wrong season.
Also for anyone reading this, If you ever need cheap tires try your local independent mechanics or to a lesser extent franchise mechanics shop, lots of people swap tires when they have 35%+ tread life left. Lots of shops will let these tires go for cheap if you get them put on at their shop. I would gladly take a good quality tire at 40% tread life vs a cheapo crap set at 100%
I work in the rim and tire industry so I find this really interesting. Haven’t seen either of those two brands before where I am, but most cheaper brands nowadays are all made at the same two or three locations and just get a different name stamped into the sidewall.
It should be illegal to scan or redeem your lotto tickets before 9am. Some people are just trying to get to work, but nooope, gotta wait behind the superstitious lady who only wants every second scratch&win with a serial number that ends in 2 or some crap.
Front Mission just got a remake, it’s out now. Not sure how good the remake is though.
I should clarify, by RGB I don’t mean LED I mean modding the console to output an analog RGB signal (much better quality than the Composite of RF hookups you would normally use) for video out, you need specific hardware in order to take advantage of that higher quality signal though. Bob over on RetroRGB has a great write-up on it.
I repair and upgrade classic video game consoles. RGB modding NES, Adding HDMI output to a PS1 etc. Sometimes in the case of some NEC consoles like the Turbo Duo R, I’ll buy ones that are totally hopeless (capacitors in these thing leak like crazy) and pick away at it for months, I’ve had some janky looking consoles but I’ve brought them back from the dead. Always satisfying when then work again.
I had messed around with various distros in the mid 2000’s but never more than a day. Just as a “this seems neat” kinda thing. Recently I wised up, tried Zorin OS was on that for a year, then went back to windows for a while. now I’m running EndeavorOS and there isn’t even a windows partition on this machine, I will not be going back. Still debating setting up QEMU for the only windows only program I miss though.
