The Steam Frame seems just the thing I need to get back into VR gaming. Hopefully it costs less than the Index.

Linux Mint still has problems displaying games after the system wakes from sleep for some reason. Maybe Bazzite or Pop_OS would work better?

Wait long enough and the bundle will cost about as much as it does now when on sale.

If it’s not done right it can really make your screen stutter trying to render it too.

Ultimately the material you seem to have an objection to is just an artistic expression, created with the consent of all involved. It has nothing to do with an actual illegal activity. This is just a smokescreen to further the conservative agenda of some old assholes with lots of money. If left unchecked, these groups would likely move on to other things like banning sex shops or certain civil rights organizations (e.g. LGBTQIA+) from using credit cards. How far would you allow them to go with their puritanical beliefs, when you can no longer purchase a beer or watch a scary movie?

Screensaver. Ran a test to confirm it by letting the screen go dark before it went to sleep. Turning off auto sleep didn’t do anything, the PC would just switch to screensaver and go to sleep like nothing changed.

The game runs fine but there’s a black screen. I might get a few frames actually rendered once every minute or so before it goes back to black. It usually only happens after I let the screensaver go on after each reboot.

Mint won’t properly display games with my RTX 3080 unless I reboot for some reason. There can still be issues but they might be fixable.

I can do it for the video card but some lights on the mobo are for status so that’s not easily doable.

Lit PC setups are nice and all until you try to go to sleep with them in the same room. I miss plain old PC cases that hide their components so I can seed overnight.
