  • Yeah, I have a friend who lives in Venezuela, he and his family can barely afford to eat, and I mean barely. Beans everyday and nothing else for years. I tried to send him some computer parts and it was going to be over 5 grand to send them, so I couldn’t afford that, but his pc was genuinely very low end 5 years ago and I know he hasn’t been able to upgrade, especially with all the money going to his 9 other family members living in the 1 bedroom apartment.

    But whatever lies you have to tell yourself to sleep at night buddy.





  • As a long time player, its probably settings. Which isn’t your fault.

    This shit is optimized like a snail in an f1 race, it just doesn’t work. Turning clouds up is actually a viable way to get the game to run well, its super cpu bound, so if you turn up some settings it offloads some of that work to the gpu, freeing up some fps.

    In my experience it plays way better now, but SC is a cranky bitch and its a free flight, never played a free flight that plays well, usually because players who don’t know what they are doing clutter environments with busted ships, trash and more.












  • Wayland is simply a no go for Nvidia gpus in my experience, I’ve tried three different cards (1060, 2080 and my current 3070) and in all cases with several different distros and each lacked dearly with wayland.

    Not saying it wouldn’t work for others but if you move from windows to Linux using your Nvidia card, my opinion is firmly x, it just feels better. Screen jittering, funky mouse tracking and weird rendering issues arised in each of my builds on wayland. I have never had a smooth experience with wayland, and no matter how many people scream at the top their lungs saying its superior on nvidia. I just don’t see it.

    As far as terminal usage… err, don’t have to do anything on terminal for almost all uses, I could easily get around it with a ton of apps from discover, an average pc user would never need to use it on an immutable distro. How much does the average user actually use terminal?
