It’s more easily expressed when people don’t have to directly face the sensitivity of the other humans. For example, from inside a car, in an online competitive game or an online forum.

What’s the heat stress difference between idle/off and heavy-usage/idle for a PC? If the latter is much bigger, then turning it off may have a negligible impact while still saving some energy. Avoiding heavy-usage may also be a better solution than avoiding turning it off.

And the next year the t-shirt is expired because the player changed number or club, ka-ching! It’s like the football video games, they can sell the same low quality goods every year by just claiming that they updated the teams.

The funny thing is that the rich people know that those are 2nd class luxury. The real luxury clothes do not have big logos, they are made with expensive materials like silk, cashmere and other expensive hand crafted fabrics that most people can only afford exceptionally. Most Luxury brand sold their soul for profits by creating those 2nd class that wanna-look rich people can afford, but they still sell their actually valuable products to actually rich clients, without big logos.

P.S.: those 2nd class luxury are made in the same Asian sweatshops as the fast fashion like H&M, while real luxury are made by highly skilled workers, usually in Western countries.

Yeah, using it ironically makes sense, stinky ignorance!

You mean deck verified shows on the Steam shop so you don’t have to check on protondb? I don’t use the deck so I didn’t follow this much.

If you choose a gaming oriented distribution like Pop OS and your game is well supported according to protondb, then there’s no manual set up, it’s as much click and play as Windows.

All you have to do is check this website to check support quality for your games https://www.protondb.com/, and then decide if you want to quit. I think you don’t realize how low effort it is now, not more effort that escaping from Microsoft’s waves of enshitification.

Check your favorite games on this website that tells how well it runs on Steams on Linux, you may have surprises. https://www.protondb.com/

I am quite disappointed. Given the title, I was like, wow, a generalist PC gaming website recommending people to switch to Linux! Read the article, Linux is not mentioned at all, I don’t even know why it is in the title. Getting a few clicks from hippies?

Because it participates in keeping an old laptop fast and up to date.

I can’t remember, but something negligible compared to the price of a thin laptop.

I got the power button of my laptop repaired at an electronics repair shop, you could try that. It has been running well for 8 years with Arch.

Gosh, the money to join the USB-C standard should go into RHS instead!

You have to disable motion blur.
