Speaking of which, if anyone is interested, I'm (re-)starting a community radio station for Lemmy users, by Lemmy users. Launching this year:

[email protected] || https://radiolemmy.com/

I'll need DJs and curators to help me make programming blocks. If you have music you'd like to share or a podcast then you are needed! Check the community often; within the next few days I'll make a post on how you can help contribute.


Edit: Given the community we're in, I feel like it's my duty to mention that unless you so happen to live in my neck of the woods, this will be an internet-only station for the vast majority of listeners. The OTA component will come later next year, and will be extremely low power to avoid expensive licensing fees (the digital broadcast license is expensive enough as-is).

Not as exciting—I know—but I'm still hoping that some of you will still check it out when I launch in Q3 this year.

Same. Thought it was just my ADHD

Shit like this is why I'm glad that AMD stays on top of BIOS updates. Built my first AMD machine in 2022 and it's blowing my mind that my motherboard is still being supported 3 years later. (I wanted to switch sooner, but my timing between builds was always bad. Missed out on Kuma, missed out on the Athlon era when they were embarrassing the Pentium 4.) When I was with Intel, I'd be lucky to get one BIOS update, if even that.

Can't wait for the end of the AM5 platform in a few years, when I'll be able to upgrade my 7700X to the latest X3D chip, and practically have a brand new PC all over again.

You had me in the first half; not gonna lie.

I was really getting into that article, and then it just just suddenly ends. How anticlimactic. I was hoping the article writer was a bit more dedicated towards finding out why Google posted his personal number in the first place...

My only experience with driving trucks is in the Truck Sim games, but I agree.

Semi trucks haul ass when you have 600 bhp, a shitload of torque, and nothing in the back. Just don't take a corner too fast or you will regret it.

Makes them complicated to open on mobile too. Took me a few tries to find the sweet spot. It's like OP wants to decrease engagement in their post...

Does OBS have a feature where it automatically deletes what it records if you don't press a hotkey to save the footage? I thought OBS was meant mainly for streamers.

It's a Linux distro made specifically with gaming on Nvidia GPUs in mind. It's basically Arch, but GPU drivers are included with the installation, and Steam, Proton, and Wayland are already installed and configured for you.

Great performance and perfect for people who don't want to set up all this stuff themselves, but like I said earlier, no NV Control Panel or NV App.

It also comes with a "Dr460nized" theme that you may or may not like. It reeks of early 2000s adolescence, but I was a teenager in that era so I kind of like it. Of course you can easily disable it and use a more mature theme if you'd like.

For a first time Linux gamer I'd recommend Garuda.

Oh yeah forgot about Shadowplay. You won't have that either. You'll have to find a recording app for Linux that uses NVENC (so your framerates won't be affected).

As far as ultrawides, you may have issues with games that require you to set a custom resolution for them to display properly. I have a 16:9 display and as such, I haven't dabbled in that field much, so I don't know how well Linux is at creating custom resolutions from within the OS itself.
