Here’s hoping it’s in preparation for a 2nd season! The world needs more animated Kessoku Band!

Honestly anything with a non LTS release schedule will be fine. So long as you keep a relatively recent kernel and GPU drivers it pretty much doesn’t matter. You can go for a rolling release like Arch or OpenSUSE Tumbleweed or a staged release like Fedora. Even Ubuntu or it’s derivatives are fine so long as you stick to the yearly versions and don’t have a particularly bleeding-edge hardware.
My only advice is stick to the popular stuff. This applies to both distros and desktop environments. Much easier to troubleshoot things and find help and they have more people using them, which usually means the experience is more polished and bugs get fixed faster.

You’re using an RDNA2 card so it’s possible your low FPS is caused by this issue. I would try this fix that was mentioned in the comments under that issue to see if your performance improves.

FYI the episode discussions on [email protected] are automated by a bot (the same used on Reddit in fact) and us Kbin users can’t see bot posts, so it looks like there are none. I have high hopes that the next big Kbin update remedies this issue.

Yeah, it aired at the end of 2021. A pretty fun fluffy romance anime, as a fantasy enjoyer and a huge fun of SOL I liked it.

Nyanpasu~

I miss this anime, still the best Slice of Life I watched and overall one of my absolute favourites. It’s been 2 years since Nonstop, might be time for a rewatch.

You’re doing great Ernest, don’t be so hard on yourself!
As for funding the project long term, if Patreon/Coffe/LibraPay ever stop being enough, maybe a Wikipedia-like style banner on the top of the page asking for donations could work? I think it’s more than fair to remind people to help pay for the upkeep of the free project they use, and if they have a problem with it they can go fork (it) themselves!

Glad to hear it! Enjoy your Linux journey!

I would try flashing an Ubuntu (or Kubuntu for KDE) or PopOS iso and booting that to try, they both include the proprietary Nvidia driver. This might be a Cinnamon issue or a Mint issue, trying a different distro helps you narrow down the possible cause.
This is probably a pretty unpopular opinion but I would never recommend anything but Gnome or KDE to a new Linux user. Those projects just have so much more development focus on them then all the smaller ones, it just makes sense to default to them for maximum ease of use and compatibility.

Using the open source driver with Nvidia is a bad idea, your card is locked at the minimum clock speed and it’s general quality is not comparable to the proprietary driver (this is purely because of Nvidia’s hostility to open source, not due to any inabilities of the developers of Nouvea.)
I’m gonna assume you are using the default desktop environment of Mint which is Cinnamon. Have you tried booting a different DE, or even better, a different distribution with something like Gnome or KDE to see if the issue persists?

Watch the video and then decide if you are still excited about it. The one video when they announced the power supply test lab is one of the many ones called out for misinformation in this very video. With their standard of information being what is it, no data they provide should be used for any serious purchase decisions.

LTT has been an entertainment channel with a drop of info for a while now, their content is pretty much only suitable as background filler while eating food. Their thumbnails and titles are also unusable without extensions to decipher them (shoutout to DeArrow from Ajay Ramachandran). For the actual good tech info you to go Hardware Unboxed or the very creator of this video.

Looks much better than the Teaser they released before, that thing was a massive disappointment. I wish they shown some actual gameplay but at least they nailed the atmosphere of the colony and the Old Camp pretty well. Here’s hoping the Polish voice acting will be as legendary as in the original!

Played around 80h of Early Access and I even bought the old games and played through them before release to catch up on the world. I enjoy Baldur’s Gate 3’s combat a lot more, but that’s mainly because I loathe real-time-with-pause combat and only suffered through it in Baldur’s Gate, Pillars of Eternity and Planescape:Torment because the story and characters grabbed me enough to keep going. The game is very different and makes many changes from PnP DND ruleset, and has many “Larianisms” (spells causing surfaces, water making you weaker to lightning/cold but resistant to fire height giving advantage/disadvantage to attacks) but none of them detract from the experience. If you’re not a D&D purists you will probably enjoy it after some getting used to it. As for the story and characters, it’s hard to say much as we only had access to the small portion that is (not even the entirety of) Act 1 during Early Access, but what’s there has been incredible.
In short, it’s not like the old games, but I think considering it’s been 23 years since the last game and this one is developed by an entirely different studio, it would be incredibly unfair to judge it based on that.

I was really torn between a human storm sorcerer or a half-orc battle master but ultimately decided to go with a gold dwarf hunter using a heavy crossbow. Fits in very well with my preferred party companions (Karlach and Shadowheart as frontline, me and Gale as backline) and has Talk to Animals which is really nice to have in Larian games. I also just love the visual of a grizzled dwarf bounty hunter with his pet raven (taking the Beast Tamer choice for Find Familiar on character creation).

Very happy to see that, I know it was pretty obvious they wouldn’t abandon that IP but it’s still nice to have a confirmation. I loved Divinity: OS 2, one of my favourite RPGs, and I’m extremely excited to play Baldur’s Gate 3 in a few days. With everything they learned during it’s long production, I’m sure the next Divinity will be an incredible game, whenever it comes out!

For how great AMD usually is on Linux, it’s not without it’s issues. RDNA2 (the entire RX 6000 series) still suffers to this day from this 2 years old issue that can cause stutter in games as the GPU constantly downclocks itself aggressively. I still prefer it over Nvidia (having owned one and now using AMD) but just be aware, it’s not all as perfect as some Linux users would have you believe.

The current kbin domain block doesn’t really work well as an instance block. What it does is block any post linking to that specific domain. It will block a nsfwlemmy user posting images to their own instance, but it won’t block lemmy.world or lemmy.ml user posts there as they link to their own respective domains instead. It also won’t block any post from that instance linking to a 3rd party domain either.

I keep going back and forth between KDE and Gnome. KDE is great on my desktop where I always have a mouse plugged in, but on my laptop I really like the workflow and gestures that Gnome on Wayland has.
