Whoah, that’s cool! Gonna have to try it out at some point.

I just use furnace to make covers, but it would be nice to use the actual chip at some point. Maybe there’s a stray PC98 on ebay or something lol

Both. It makes it easier to keep in touch technically, but whether or not they are responsive is a whole other story.

With just goldberg yeah. There’s another program, i don’t recall it’s name at the moment, that keeps track of acheivements.

If you have a large steam library, the rin forum has some tools to help backup a good chunk of those games. Usually you can’t run a steam game without the steam client, but steamless and goldberg can make them run without needing the client.

Yeah, the higher the mhz, the faster the PC will run. just make sure that the motherboard is actually compatible with the sticks you decide to get.

Damn bro! you’re already packing a decent setup. Have you tried getting a better PSU? Sometimes the amount of power your parts can draw is the bottleneck. Like yeah by comparison to the higher end stuff it can use improvement but it’s a good mid range.

Oh for sure! It’s better than a nvidia 1060 ti and i also have one and it’s working without issues. Just make sure that the drivers are up to date and that you don’t have duplicate drivers.

Edit: If he decides to get the 6600 a higher grade PSU is probably better because the GPU sometimes spikes and it can shut down the PC if the PSU can’t handle it.

If the motherboard supports it, an nvme ain’t half bad.

An iGPU isn’t necessarily a bad thing. If the GPU isn’t working properly, at least the iGPU will let you see what the PC is doing when the GPU isn’t working correctly.

Make sure your PSU can handle the total watts your parts will use. You might want to check how many watts the GPU and CPU use on average. Gold or plat is better than bronze because the PSU will be able to take a sudden spike in power without turning off. Make sure you update your motherboard, especially if you get an AMD GPU.

Edit: your PSU will handle the parts you have, might want to get silver grade PSU but bronze is fine. To update the motherboard it’s just downloading the bios update and installing it via usb in the BIOS menu. Usually you just hammer F2 to get into the BIOS menu, but if it isn’t that key then the splash screen should say how to get to it in one of the corners of the screen.

Jenkem gang where you at?

Freetube is good too

Especially when the potato laptop stops being so potato all of a sudden. It’s satisfying.

Ugh, yeah. Dual booting is such a headache lol

The best thing to do is to just jump in.Pick a distro, doesn’t matter which and just start using it.

For software just browse the Music category of pamac, discover, or whatever app-front you decide to use. There’s some really good stuff in there.

For the most part it works really well! 90% of games on steam work without any hassle and the 10% with errors have workarounds. It’s not perfect but it’s definitely getting better as time goes on, especially with more anticheats having compatibility with linux than 5 years ago. When it comes to standalone games, it can be a mixed bag because sometimes it works perfectly and other times it doesn’t, but launchers like lutris help get the games that don’t work run decently. When it comes to emulators, they work really well, sometimes better than running them on windows, but keep in mind where you’re getting them. I have less issues overall with the flatpack variants of emulators.

The Scottish are way ahead of ya. those kilts look pretty comfortable.

If you want to check what instances are federated or unfederated, scroll all the way down to the bottom of the page on desktop and click on Instances. It will show a list.

Manjaro for a while. It broke a few times and then I started using Nix os, until I started using Endeavour.
