Unless you go once near a beach and a single grain of sand gets past the airtight bag the phone was in and the Totally-IP67-We-Swear phone chassis and is fucking destroys the screen from the inside, with a repair bill worthy of a new phone because “that kind of damage is not under warranty”.

That’s what I love about my ‘23 Yaris. The entertainment system is basically a radio and hybrid telemetry. Everything else is CarPlay/Android Auto. No shitty outdated maps, no 90’-style MP3 player…

gestures!

Still the reason that 20+ years later the second thing I install on any browser is a gestures extension (the first one is always uBlock Origin, obviously).

Seconded, I moved my gaming rig is on Bazzite and has been trouble free and maintenance free ever since.

I installed Bluefin on the laptop I gave my father, and it’s been happily running trouble-free every single day since August without a single intervention. And my father is the kind of man who can conjure up unknown bugs, weird failures and random crashes by simple hand contact.

Thanks!

It won’t answer all of your answers, but it should at least give you a good primer on what distros are and what are the main key takeaways.

No mistakes allowed.

I replaced the idiotically loud motherboard fan with a 24V 40/10 Noctua. It needs slightly longer screws than the stock ones but otherwise it’s a drop in replacement. Noise levels are much more acceptable now.

Haha thanks !

I would like to say I’m used to fstab too but honestly I barely have to use it once every five years 😅

The issue was indeed from the fstab. But it was because exec was specified before users.

The games crash long before launching proton. I suspect something is fishy in the runtime or even before that.

Worst case scenario, I have to nuke this drive and start over. I’ll keep digging tho.

Good call. I’m seeing some stuff I don’t like, I’ll investigate tomorrow.

99% of the time, if a game “should run fine” and nothing happens, it’s because it’s installed on a Windows partition (NTFS or exFat).

Try moving it to a Linux partition.

If it still doesn’t work, you can start advanced troubleshooting.

I had to swap the stock fan for a Noctua since it was unbearably loud, adjust the volumetric flow and spend some time adjusting the Z-offset. I should also tension the belts a bit but it looks super non-trivial.

The SV08 has been out since at least summer. I’ve had mine since September and I’m super satisfied with it. It is not a beginners machine however, there are a couple of mandatory tweaks and upgrades to make it usable. Nothing unsurmountable but having modded the shit out of my Ender 3 helped a lot.

Heretic with Box Jades here. They’re awesome for typing and waking my neighbors up at 3AM.

As someone who lives in an extremely hard water area, citric acid is your friend. It looks like a giant kettle after all.

Oh nice, this should be what I’m looking for. Bigger energy costs but much less waste water. And available in Europe!

This water will end up in my espresso machine’s boiler, I doubt anything really harmful would survive several hours a day at 95C.
