I’ve had great success with Pop_OS! and hybrid graphics on my laptop (RYZEN 6800H/RTX 3070). If its related to the high power gpu not swithing at all.
The Nvidia iso might be worth a try.

I started with the Black Widow fallout 3 perk figuring there world be more male characters than female when fighting.

EFFECTS
+10% damage against male opponents
Additional dialogue options with certain male characters
It stuck after that.
I feel sorry for the people that are exposed to this shit by Google, especially those that are less tech savvy that aren’t blocking ads.
Educate as many people/loved ones as you can folks about this to protect them and to fuck Google.
Oh wow, how out of the loop am I. 😆
Hopefully it’s supported for years to come.
One of my earliest vr experiences was with the blue Acer mixed reality headsets and it did fine at the time. Cost far less than the mainstream headsets from HTC and Oculus too.
Haven’t even seen any new WMR headsets for years and thought it was already dead.
My HTPC is on windows 11, set to auto log-in and launch steam big picture. Disabled as much of the Microsoft BS as I can, including the nags to use Onedrive or sub to Office 365 every major update.
Using Unified Remote to control things with my phone and also Parsec/Moonlight for game streaming to other devices.
My media is served from my Unraid server to my devices both locally and remotely.
All working well so far. 👍
That’s this weekends project, moving to Jellyfin with all the discover together fuckery they’re pulling. Fuck Plex.
Currently using a Roku Streambar for all of our streaming needs but if they pull this crap, everything we consume will be downloaded, served on my Plex server and streamed using the gaming PC I have under our TV.
Getting beyond sick of these companies using every measure and device they can to shit ads into our eyes.
My Safari extension of choice for iOS YouTube ad blocking is vinegar.

Combined with Banish extension to stop the annoying “open in our app” nonsense when browsing the web.

No, I don’t want privacy exploiting app syphoning my personal data when the website will do.
I’ve pinned the YouTube website to my Home Screen in Safari and combined with those extensions I have a lovely experience with them.
I’m going to fully assess what actual windows software I rely on any more and migrate all of my systems to a Linux based os this weekend I think.
The amount of games that I play that work on my Steam deck already confirms that I’ll be fine there.
I probably spin up a windows vm that I could remote into from my homelab if I’ve missed anything I do need to run.
I’ve posted it repeatedly but I’d like to add the (paid extension) Vinegar extension as a recommendation for iOS Safari.
Enable extension, add YT to home screen and stop seeing ads.
Combined with Banish for Safari - stopping the “open in app” popups on websites, my online experience is golden.
I ended up recovering some of my music using Google takeout which in turn absolutely wrecked most of the tags on my songs.
I loved Google play music as a locker for my owned music and a a storefront to buy what I wanted. YouTube Music made me abandon it completely and move my owned music onto my plex server.
Why does Google have to ruin everything? Still bitter about Google Reader closing back in the day. That was the beginning of the end of me having confidence in their services and moving to self hosting as much as I can.
We already pay for prime, all this will do is make me watch the shows I already pay for from my Unraid server.
I much prefer written guides for anything that interests me over YouTube videos that are unnecessarily long. Plus the false attempts to get engagement (sometimes by making statements that are maliciously stupid) to appease the algorithm like:
What are your preferred ways to consume content? I prefer carrier pigeon, it’s easily the best. Let me know in the comments below if you have a preferred way, and don’t forget to like and subscribe.
Really annoying, like our sponsor….
I used to own both a Series X, PS5 and have my gaming PC (all in the same room - desktop currently has an i5 13500, RTX 3090 24GB, 4TB of NVME storage & 128GB ram)
Got myself a 5m hdmi lead capable of driving my 4k/120 TV and just ended up using my pc for everything now.
I just switch sources between my monitor and tv when I want to game on the couch. Any mouse/keyboard input needed, I do it on the Unified remote app on my phone and fire up Steam big picture on the tv.
Sold the PS5 and XBOX and ditched two more subscriptions hitting me every month.
No regrets so far.
Are classic side scrollers ok to suggest?
Keep a log of anything you do successfully find that you may need later.
I’ve started bookmarking anything I do find genuinely useful as there’s a chance that the a similar search would yield different results that wouldn’t help at all.
I’ve also installed archivebox on one of my home lab pcs to grab a snapshot of any sites and pages that I want to keep (you never know if you’ll go back and it’s gone).
Retaining good information for yourself is just as important on the web now given all the bot spam and affiliate laden shit out there that Google and Bing seem to be promoting these days.
I liked my N-Gage and it’s good to see that sidetalkin’ is still up.
Good to see!
Setup looks great and gals that Pop_OS worked you for you in the end.
