I'm not a composer but Kimai is indeed a very good time tracker. Beats the trash we use at work.

Hey, if I want to see double I can just play Monster Hunter intoxicated. No need for new tech.

Dark Souls by far. Elden Ring was great but so much of the game was a slog to go through.

So much content just added to pad the world so they could call it an open world. Mindless copy-paste of the same enemies, same dungeons, same assets and same bosses. Would have greatly preferred a smaller but more unique world, more shortcuts and more interconnections.

I did enjoy the map of the Elden Ring DLC though. I don't think I have ever seen such a vertical map in a game before. Just looking down every time and thinking "can I go there?" felt great.

Maybe they could allocate some resources for optimization then. This game should run on Steam Deck without problems.

I'm on AMD but I already play in HDR without gamescope with Proton-Tkg (Wine master).

For games I then only have to set DISPLAY= ENABLE_HDR_WSI=1 %command%.

The HDR layer is here: https://github.com/Zamundaaa/VK_hdr_layer

It should not be needed anymore pretty soon.

Ah, like the Android app. I think the Linux Nextcloud version has an experimental option for it but I never gave it a try.

I assume the partial sync is not sufficient for your use case? I usually only sync the folders I need on that machine.

and support for a virtual file synchronization a la Nextcloud (which I presume piggybacks off of what MS built for OneDrive.)

What's a virtual file synchronization?

I’m curious. Say you are getting a new computer, put Debian on, want to run e.g. DeepSeek via ollama via a container (e.g. Docker or podman) and also play, how easy or difficult is it?

On the host system, you don't need to do anything. AMDGPU and Mesa are included on most distros.

For LLMs you can go the easy route and just install the Alpaca flatpak and the AMD addon. It will work out of the box and uses ollama in the background.

If you need a Docker container for it: AMD provides the handy rocm/dev-ubuntu-${UBUNTU_VERSION}:${ROCM_VERSION}-complete images. They contain all the required ROCm dependencies and runtimes and you can just install your stuff ontop of it.

As for GPU passthrough, all you need to do is add a device link for /dev/kfd and /dev/dri and you are set. For example, in a docker-compose.yml you just add this:

    devices:
      - /dev/kfd:/dev/kfd
      - /dev/dri:/dev/dri

For example, this is the entire Dockerfile needed to build ComfyUI from scratch with ROCm. The user/group commands are only needed to get the container groups to align with my Fedora host system.

However, for some reason on PC it's often quirky (Windows or Linux). My PC bluetooth works through a dongle so I wonder if an integrated card would do better.

Is it an USB dongle?

If so, make sure to add a short USB-A to USB-A cable between your PC and the dongle. Interference is a serious issue on USB 2.4 GHz wireless dongles when directly connected to a mainboard.

Remedy already confirmed that they are going to self-publish Control 2.

Milking after one game and one DLC?

Cool, I really enjoyed the base game so I'm looking forward to the DLC.
