Whoah, that’s cool! Gonna have to try it out at some point.

I just use furnace to make covers, but it would be nice to use the actual chip at some point. Maybe there’s a stray PC98 on ebay or something lol

Yeah, the higher the mhz, the faster the PC will run. just make sure that the motherboard is actually compatible with the sticks you decide to get.

Damn bro! you’re already packing a decent setup. Have you tried getting a better PSU? Sometimes the amount of power your parts can draw is the bottleneck. Like yeah by comparison to the higher end stuff it can use improvement but it’s a good mid range.

Oh for sure! It’s better than a nvidia 1060 ti and i also have one and it’s working without issues. Just make sure that the drivers are up to date and that you don’t have duplicate drivers.

Edit: If he decides to get the 6600 a higher grade PSU is probably better because the GPU sometimes spikes and it can shut down the PC if the PSU can’t handle it.

If the motherboard supports it, an nvme ain’t half bad.

An iGPU isn’t necessarily a bad thing. If the GPU isn’t working properly, at least the iGPU will let you see what the PC is doing when the GPU isn’t working correctly.

Make sure your PSU can handle the total watts your parts will use. You might want to check how many watts the GPU and CPU use on average. Gold or plat is better than bronze because the PSU will be able to take a sudden spike in power without turning off. Make sure you update your motherboard, especially if you get an AMD GPU.

Edit: your PSU will handle the parts you have, might want to get silver grade PSU but bronze is fine. To update the motherboard it’s just downloading the bios update and installing it via usb in the BIOS menu. Usually you just hammer F2 to get into the BIOS menu, but if it isn’t that key then the splash screen should say how to get to it in one of the corners of the screen.

Jenkem gang where you at?

Especially when the potato laptop stops being so potato all of a sudden. It’s satisfying.

Ugh, yeah. Dual booting is such a headache lol

The best thing to do is to just jump in.Pick a distro, doesn’t matter which and just start using it.

For software just browse the Music category of pamac, discover, or whatever app-front you decide to use. There’s some really good stuff in there.

For the most part it works really well! 90% of games on steam work without any hassle and the 10% with errors have workarounds. It’s not perfect but it’s definitely getting better as time goes on, especially with more anticheats having compatibility with linux than 5 years ago. When it comes to standalone games, it can be a mixed bag because sometimes it works perfectly and other times it doesn’t, but launchers like lutris help get the games that don’t work run decently. When it comes to emulators, they work really well, sometimes better than running them on windows, but keep in mind where you’re getting them. I have less issues overall with the flatpack variants of emulators.

Nice

Just made one lol

fair enough. If there’s anything that apple still has going for it is the look of the OS as a whole.

Apparently for some people they see it as a gimped version of IOS somehow. If anything IOS from what I’ve used before is so much more locked down now than it used to be when I had a 3G. But yeah the stigma is there with some people, but it doesn’t really matter at this point. If you want to side load apps, use android because you don’t have to go out of your way to get dev permissions, hook it up to the PC to install, and constantly re-approve your side-loaded apps. Seriously that shit gets annoying real fast.

alright, good to know.

How is maintaining a community compared to an instance? It would be neat to make one, but what keeps me from making one is having to moderate it or maintain it.

Get a lighter and an aerosol spray. Anytime you see one fly by let it rip.
