It’s not that they aren’t as good, necessarily.

More that the others do less “grey-hat” stuff, and therefore are less likely to cause harm or alter the content they host.

No.

They think that relying on a hostile archive will ultimately harm Wikipedia.

They know the shortcomings of the other options.

And, following that, a laxative

So, what you’re saying is, you’re not writing code.

Yes but what kind of soup

This is important

Why would anyone not like that? I’m not sure what you’re talking about.

Yeah, it says it couldn’t load an API-related windows file/group of files. So yes, either something is missing, or something isn’t in the expected location.

If it can’t load a file, and if that file does exist, something path-related needs to be fixed.

Other folks have responded with good advice about things to try, so I won’t repeat any of it here. Hopefully once you get that fixed, your games will launch!

Are you logging your attempted game launches?

I wonder if the games are trying to search for files in a specific path, failing to find that path, and exiting. Or maybe something similar. The logs should tell you.

It’s disconcerting to see how much Thingiverse has been bounced around.

What are you using to create the bootable installer? Rufus may have options to help with this.

Also, MX includes a bunch of system rescue tools. If grub-install doesn’t work by myself, maybe chroot would help?

The MX community forums might be a good place to ask, too. Lots of power users there.

Try MX Linux. It runs on a toaster, and I’ve never found a machine it wouldn’t install on.

I’m not sure how to reply to this.

Mainly because my own math skill is unrelated to processor technology of the late 1990s.

Hey now, I’m enjoying his nonsense. It’s fun to see what holes people dig themselves into.

You must be real fun at parties.

3D graphics were incredibly primitive back then. There really weren’t “3D processors” as we know them today.

On top of that, CRTs masked many of the weirdest graphical artifacts - the shimmering we see on modern screens was much more of a blur on screens at the time.

It’s fun to look back at the PlayStation and the N64, and to see how each of them handled limitations in a different way.

“adopting it” and “getting saddled with it” are two different things.

I’m about as anti-AI as you can get, but that wasn’t a confirmation - it was a non-answer.

And considering how many things “AI” is getting crammed into, if they’d given a definitive answer, it wouldn’t have been possible to guarantee it - because they’re not in control of every business scenario in the industry.

Do you have any access to the inside of the wall, so you can view that section of wall from the back?

Repair will depend on several factors:

Was the correct type of wallboard used when building the wall? If not, and if it’s been cracked for a while, a significant amount of water could have gotten through the crack. If significant amounts of water have gotten through, you may need to replace the whole section of wall.

Is there any water damage to the wallboard? Usually, if the correct type of wallboard was used, there won’t be any water damage. But I’ve seen plenty of installers use the wrong kind of board. If the wrong board was used, you may want to replace the whole section of wall, even if there isn’t visible water damage. Because if the crack gets worse, it’ll be a more expensive repair later.

Does the shower-facing side of wall show any signs of crumbling? If so, it may be patchable, but you’ll need to remove the crumbling portions first. Also, if it’s actively crumbling, it could be bigger signs of structural issues, and you may want to get it inspected before doing any repair work.

Is the wall stable? Is the cracked area firm? Is there no sign of water damage? There are a few different types of silicone caulk or tile filler you can use to patch the crack. As long as it’s patched properly, it shouldn’t let water through, and it shouldn’t continue to deteriorate.

There could be other considerations, but these are some of the common ones.

If anything seems off, get a professional to look at it. It’ll cost more now, but it’ll save you time and money later.

Yeah, if the resolution is the only issue? Keep three screens, you’ll enjoy the wrap-around. Especially for racing, a single screen will leave you wanting.

Not to say you definitely won’t like a single screen. But you know why you like what you like.

The main question: what about your current setup are you dissatisfied with?

If you can share that, it’ll help with which option might be better now.
