Don’t have an answer unfortunately, but i do wonder now if i could get my game running in a similar way with a browser token. I don’t play pokemon TCG, but i did like playing this old crusty mmo called Darkorbit, which finally switched from flash to unity like 1 or 2 years ago, but it has the same issue on linux where it can launch just fine and it doesn’t use anti-cheat, but it can’t load the login page. Last time i looked into it i ended up finding the pokemon TCG issue and it seems to be the same problem, where it’s relying on Edge for the login.

Well i’ll be damned, just decided to try getting the game to work again, cause after this post i decided to do some searching once more and it seemed someone found a workaround, but it turns out the workaround isn’t even needed anymore. I wrote a reply in the github gist here explaining the steps i took. I guess i can now play my mmo slop again if i get the itch lol

I actually wasn’t aware mango had a version that supports HDR, that’s good to know.

Aside from DEs like KDE i think the only other tiling compositor that has HDR support is sway (they added it in their latest release). Unfortunately i’m not really versed with latency stuff cause i’m not competitive, but it might be worth a look to see if it can work for you.

Edit: it seems like mango does have a version with HDR support after reading the replies, i did not know that.

Can’t wait till he’s dead

And GNU is Unix!

I use GNU Guix. I already did a package search for it once and they did have it packaged, so that’s nice.

Nice write-up! I read about Luanti a few months ago and have been meaning to check it out at some point. This gives me a better idea on what to expect.

I hadn’t heard of this one before, but it looks really impressive!

Weird times indeed. As someone who also got a ps5 before the price hikes and without having paid extra to a scalper, this has happened to me multiple times now where hardware increases in value. Since i’m not looking to sell any of it it doesn’t mean much in practice, but still wild to think about.

I disliked it mainly because of the cable breaking, which happened to my first gaming headset as a kid. However now i just own a sennheiser where you can easily pull the cable off of the earcups and replace them, so it’s not an issue anymore.

I’m using a setup that i already had when i was still on windows, but it’s pretty much a driverless setup so it worked on linux just fine.

I use a JDS Labs dac and amp that i bought years ago and they still work great, the dac is plug and play. I paired it with a sennheiser HD660S that i’m still very happy with. Unless wireless is really important to you i’d recommend wired because they offer the best quality in terms of bitrate. With my sennheisers the nice thing is that the cable is easily replacable because they’re just plugs that you can pull out of the earcups.

For discord i’m using an old usb mic that i bought years ago that seems to work fine.

Basically what i’m saying is don’t bother with the gaming headsets. The one thing i miss on linux is dolby atmos tbh. On windows i used it for virtual surround sound as a replacement for the gaming headset software, but last time i checked you can’t use it on linux. Some games have virtual surround sound baked into their settings, which works without OS-level software, but for the games that don’t i miss it. I’ll probably keep using this audio setup until something dies cause i’m just really happy with it.

Edit: you could also pair good wired headphones with something like a Fiio BTR15, which also supports bluetooth. That way you can still walk around with the dac/amp in your pocket. There’s still going to be wire between the headphones and the amp of course, so it depends on how allergic you are to wires. I bought a Fiio mainly as a more portable wired setup for my phone/laptop.

When i said unique i was purely referring to consoles going up in price instead of down. RAM cartel was already a thing long before trump though, as much as i hate the turd.

Even if that were true, the prices wouldn’t increase either. I think there’s more factors at play though that make consoles cheaper over time.

The market conditions are very unique right now since this is caused by all the AI-slop, and consoles going up in price like this has never happened before. If we think long-term though, i think it will still apply like it used to.

Unless the form factor is really a must i would still recommend just getting a more generic prebuild. That way it leaves the door open for you to upgrade some parts later if you feel up for it.

Yet another reason for me to consider ps5 being my last playstation console and just fully focussing on my pc. Sure steam still has drm games as well, but at least we also have stores like GOG, cracked games, piracy, etc.

Hmm? I was just laughing at how ridiculous your claim is, read my other comment. Overheating can be caused by anything. Often the specific applications you’re running instead of the OS. And your hardware has failsafes for this to prevent damage. You might also want to check if your cooling system is still doing its job.

Even if linux in particular caused overheating, your system has safeguards for that outside the OS. So it has nothing to do with windows or linux. If your hardware gets damaged by overheating, the safeguards failed.

Damaging hardware, lmao

I don’t think this would be feasible because of how the ps5 is designed with a specific board, that isn’t really upgradeable. Even if it could be done then i think the cost would be pretty high to get it done, to the point where you may as well get a ps6. I think the best solution is for people to just stay on ps5 if they think it’s too expensive. In fact that’s what i was already planning on doing anyway even before the price increases. If the ps4 lifecycle is anything to go by ps5 will still get releases years into the ps6 cycle, plus on top of that, i feel like ps5 > ps6 will be less of an upgrade compared to ps4 > ps5. Even if it’s usually not full resolution, the upscaled base ps5 image looks good enough on my 4k screen. Worst case scenario maybe games will stop offering 60fps modes to compensate. That might be the only reason for me to consider upgrading, but even then, if it costs a fortune i’d probably still just ride it out.
