Typical reddit/world user

I have my Linux PC connect to TV via HDMI and AVR. I just enable HDR in settings then play my movies with MPV. Works perfectly fine.

Only a minor issue with AMD GPUs, I have enabled HDMI 2.1 FRL for my kernel to get full RGB, not sure if that’s possible on Silverblue but it should be enabled by default by Linux kernel 7.4 or something.

Still surprised there are so many people using Chrome.

They're this generations grannies who were stubborn about using Internet Explorer.

I've been using Librewolf since the new CEO came in and the "we never sell your data" bit was removed from the user agreement. Then shortly after then shipped Firefox with AI enabled by default. I don't trust them.

“Doesn’t take sides” yet there are clips of him in support of Ukraine

It’s from a post Macklemore made:

"He told me that the words 'Free Palestine' and the image of the Palestinian flag were hurtful to a lot of people he spoke with.

I told him that if those words were more offensive than tens of thousands of Palestinian children being killed by Israel, then there was a fundamental disconnect between where those people stood and where I stood.

But he couldn't get past his public facing, 'I don't take sides'."

Meanwhile, America has a “cure” for cancer every other month

Should have been more clear, I was referring to Ed Sheeran. He is not on the side of Palestine.

I use Librewolf so I don't have to worry about Mozilla adding things and enabling them by default

I would also recommend against using Brave, but it's available on Linux if you want to use it.

Pirated games work just fine with Heroic, Lutris or Bottles.I personally like Heroic and I've not had many issues with steamrip releases (they don't need to be installed).

I think they intentionally made search engines worse to push people into using LLM's

The UK is just getting worse by the day, Starmer and Labour need to go

Waiting to see how the fans defend this one. Glad I didn’t buy the Switch 2.

This is what I picture when reading comments on r/unitedkindom

Pro Israel, AI, data centres, shrinkflation, Online Safety Act, Palantir, etc.

What kind of cooling do you have? Do your fans actually run? Like do they ramp up when your CPU is hitting 100+?

Probably worth changing your thermal paste, slightly excessive paste is better than too little paste. Whilst there, make sure you’ve removed the film from the CPU cooler and make sure it’s seated properly.

Go into your bios and adjust your fan curve for CPU, whilst you’re there turn off zero RPM or adjust its temperature so that the fans turn on sooner. Use something like LACT do the same for your GPU.

Your idle temps aren’t too bad but something isn’t right if you’re hitting 100C+ at load. Especially on that CPU.

Expected nothing less from these torrorists

Let’s not conflate Zionists or Israelis with Jews.

Larry Ellison and his family owns HBO, Paramount and many others.

I have a 2015 with R9 M370X, tried Ubuntu and Arch. The latter worked better out of the box (wi-fi, bluetooth, trackpad, etc. minus webcam) for me so that's what I'd recommend (with archinstall).

You should be able to use gpu-switch to enable or disable discrete graphics: https://github.com/0xbb/gpu-switch

In the end I gave up on trying to run Linux on my specific MacBook. With amdgpu, it would seemingly run fine. Watching videos on Youtube, even with H264ify, the temps would slowly creep up over 90c. I had to bump up the fans quite high with mbpfan. However, the biggest problem was that it would randomly lock up after 20-30 mins of continuous general use.

With Intel Iris graphics, even general browsing with firefox was too annoying for me. Even continuously scrolling basic webpages would raise my CPU temps to around 90c with the fans blasting. It ran fine otherwise, no kernel panics or anything. Just too noisy and hot for my liking.

Don’t know about Bazzite but performance wise, there isn’t a huge difference between Arch and Cachy.

If I recall, CachyOS comes preconfigured with a few things, including Steam. Most of it is quite simple to setup on Arch. You can also use Cachy’s kernel in Arch to test for any performance gains if you want to.

I would say if you already have CachyOS installed, there’s no point replacing it with Arch. CachyOS is Arch underneath anyway.

Buy whichever suits your needs more.

I have both systems. Linux on desktop, MacOS on my M3 Macbook Pro. I went with the latter because mainly because of battery life and colour accuracy (for graphical work).

That said, with system level AI and all the surveillance bullshit coming to the UK, I will probably start dual booting Asahi if/when it's released for the M3. MacOS will just be for photo/video editing. A shame, because I'll be giving up the battery life.
