I tried for awhile to make osmc work on an raspi4 for media playing and it was always just… not quite there.
I ended up going with a Ebay mini pc with Plex on it and stream to my TV with a Roku stick. Just worked so much better without much effort on my part.
90 days? That’s so quick. I lived in my current city without a doctor for nearly a decade. Now I have an nurse practitioner and any appointment I want to make with them is always 6 months out.
This shit isn’t good enough.
Huh I always thought ventoy was just another iso to usb writer. I’ve been totally sleeping on the fact it can hold a bunch of isos and installs them directly. That’s so handy
Yea a proper tune would likely help a bunch in both performance and temps.
I’m pretty crap at bios tuning and usually just follow guides. I’ll try my hand at it this weekend if it’s not busy
I upgraded to this chip from a 5600g, there was much more improvement than I was expecting. Nothing life changing but a good boost nonetheless. It smoothed out a lot of frame rate drops in my games and is quite capable for productivity workloads.
Only issue now I gotta watch my heat a little more since I went from a 65w CPU to the 105w CPU built in a fractal node 202. Still running my stock cooler for the 5600g.
Same. played it at launch on PC. i might have been one of the lucky ones. No real show stoppers as far as glitches went.
Ah gotcha. I’m kind of enjoying just hanging with regular people being regular on mastodon. Probably check out bluesky at some point.
Thanks for the info!
Haven’t been following Blue sky stuff at all. Any reason to use this over mastodon?
My joint walks go right by the gas station. so its either a chocolate bar or a bag of sunchips (french onion or cheddar) If i skip the gas station, i destroy all the leftovers and end up having nothing to bring for lunch tomorrow at work.
Right on, I rejoined IRC during the COVID shutdowns. It’s just nice to be chatting somewhere where a company isn’t flooding me with advertisements and/or harvesting my data (that I can tell at least).
I hear you. When I was a teen, Internet was:
A handful of focused websites or your buddies geocities / angelfire site.
Chatting in crazy chat rooms on IRC, and having your close friends on ICQ.
Using a dial up modem to play doom, Warcraft 2, red alert, duke nukem, quake, StarCraft, total annihilation… etc.
Those were fun times. Felt like the bleeding edge of tech… hiding out and having fun in places people haven’t even heard of.
Pop OS is the whole reason I stayed on linux :) Lots of failed linux experiments in its wake previous to that haha
new versions of windows just kind of feel like new phones now. It’s good but… who cares?
I can remember as a teen and upgrading from windows 98 to XP felt like jumping into the future.
Or, more recently, getting the first samsung galaxy after having a basic candybar phone.
Just seems like more of the same all while charging an arm and a leg for it.
aww, poor muffin. 🙄
Been awhile since i’ve see that jar!
Mostly smooth. When I jumped onto pop os I think it was the 21.10 version which was good. Only the ng that I never got working was lutris. When 22.04 was released I updated to that and had some weirdness afterwards that I couldn’t quite iron out. I ended up doing a fresh install with 22.04 and it’s been great since.
I always wanted to learn. I had a number of failed attempts with Linux back in 2000, 2006, etc. I always gave it a shot every 5 years ago just to see.
I fully made the switch with pop os a couple years ago and it ended up sticking. I was in a better place to learn linux and pop os is just easy and noob friendly. This last time was also spurned on when the rumour was going around that windows 11 was going to have ads right in the explorer. I don’t know if that ever happened but it was enough to get me to give it another shot haha

Beyond all reason (BAR) you can get it for free on the pop shop with popos and likely most other distro app store.
Excellent successor to the OG RTS total annihilation from the late 90s.
Seconding pop os for a solid starter Linux distro.
Been daily driving it for about 3 years now i think.
