PSA: DO NOT INSTALL xx.04 releases!!!

• The .04 stands for "April", commonly known for "April Fools".
• Many projects use the term "LTS", meaning "Lies, Tricks, and Slander". So called 'Enterprise' users often promote these releases to "own the noobs". Be warned!

I'm thinking of building a pc to play a few demanding games (e.g. PEAK, Satisfactory, Stellaris) at 1080p@60. It'd be under Proton/DXVK on Linux.

GPU prices in Australia are kinda fucked atm so that would probably have to be a used card, but would anyone have any advice on what I have so far?

Pretty much the title, the reason for me wanting to do this is to conserve stream quality by using a lower stream resolution and using Gamescope's upscalers to scale up the output more cleanly by running remote play in windowed mode. Is this possible?

Other times it makes me want to pull my hair out

Made some replacement parts for the T430 because I had a broken T430 that was missing these. None of them require screws so they should be ideal if you find a broken T430 on the side of the road or something.

I just bought a used "faulty" T430.

It doesn't turn on at all (no lights, no sounds, no fan spin) and when I tried to turn it on with only the critical components (motherboard, power adapter and speakers), I got the same result.

I've also examined the power area on the motherboard, and it seems like 20V is getting delivered to the motherboard just fine.

But I've looked at the motherboard thoroughly, and I couldn't find a single part of it that looked bad.

Is this definitely caused by the motherboard, or could it be an issue with another component like the CPU?

Because of the time it takes for mods to moderate content on Lemmy, the"new" sort's been prone to abuse.

Could a "delayed new" sort, where the newest content x hours ago is shown be introduced to help suppress this problem?

Coming from Windows 10 (I switched 6 months ago), I find the task switcher animation in KDE extremely obnoxious, as I expect it to pop up instantly.

Still, I enjoy the other animations in KDE, so I don't want to turn off all the animations in the global settings.

I searched for a solution but all the relevant posts were on the now defunct KDE subreddit which I cannot view.

Is there any way to turn off just the fade in/fade out animation?

I made a theme for Lemmy that can be applied using the https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/styl-us/ extension for FireFox!

Features:
