So here's deal. My ISP is acting like a dork and doesn't understand what the problem is. Long story short, my internet has recently gotten an upgrade and I, now, sort of have the option to choose between the new (faster) connection and the old (fast) one. The problem is the new connection is...

Some of you would want dual boot but are afraid, that someday, a windows update might come that will wreck your grub or systemd-boot. It happened before and it might happen again. For that reason (using layman terms with metaphors here) you want to stick your windows installation into some...

Yeah, this happened. Because I couldn't get 1440p 144Hz from my cheap-ass HDMI cable, I bought a high quality display port cable. Let me tell you, it was quite an effort to get it plugged in, you see, I have a vesa wall mount that was blocking the socket on the monitor so I had to some fine...

So this is a weird snag. When proton is installing prerequisites, it now stalls when installing DirectX. It now happens with every game I try to run. I left it running once for over an hour and still it wouldn't move forward. I can kill the setup using a task manager which will move it forward...

PoP!_os updated recently... and is it possible that it broke the terminal? Basically what you're looking at in this picture is is the exact path to where the file is, both in the terminal AND file explorer, and yet the terminal seems to think it doesn't exist! I literally highlighted the file...

While playing native Linux games or using WINE or proton or different forms of emulation, some games just will not allow themselves to be switched to fullscreen. As a matter of fact, the only options they have available are either windowed mode, or borderless windowed mode. Lowering the...

Why are you satisfied with Firefox? Why do you think we're doing a good job? We're confused, many people use our product, but we don't know why even though we are the ones who made it! Questions like this... disturb me. Are the developers of firefox really that dense that they cannot judge the...

Alright, so, I have a game that is older than a lot of you on these forums. It uses code injection increase the version of DirectX rendering from 8.0 to 10.0. It does by introducing a modified d3d8.dll file along with shw32.dll to have an effect, identical to using large address aware (What's...

Something is going on in the background that I am not familiar with. We can be in agreement that some Native Linux ports are so bad that using Proton is preferable. But this is where it all goes wrong. Using proton on a native Linux game in steam causes it to fail spectacularly! Not only will...

I know what you were gonna say - "Just use VLC or a whole slew of other programs that work really well on Linux..." Well its not that easy, here is why: Before my hard drive croaked, I had an installation of windows which I used for the sole purpose of using VR (since prior switching to Linux...

Hi all, I'm foaming at the mouth with rage! Tonight was a hot summer night and I forgot to turn on the insect repellent. Flies crapped all over my screen and I can't get it cleaned up with the standard "non-invasive" methods. Normally I know exactly to get rid of it, but I had my screen coated...

Updated steam last night, it has new UI and all them' bells, I went to bed shortly after, heard the fans revving just as I was about to dose off. Checked it out this morning, and it's causing random CPU cores to have short spikes while the cpu sits at its' stock speeds of 2.0GHz (Boosted is...

Motherboards having multiple M.2 slots appears to be trickling further and further down the price ranges of motherboards, so I would once again like to revisit the notion of using RAID in 2023. As you may or may not know, as you go higher and higher with speeds and capacity of M.2 devices, the...

I would like to get the non-steam version of World of Warships installed. I have a non-steam account and any progress I've made on it is on that particular account which cannot be migrated. Unfortunately, as I am looking up for any data in regards to World of Warships, the only answer I always...

So now I'm a bit confused. I've updated PoP!_OS again, and the same issue I've reported here before has returned in a different way. When I move my mouse while watching a YouTube video at the same time, my CPU usage spikes (From 15% to 35%) and the videos begins to stutter. The audio continues...

To those who are familiar with the latest offering of ryzen 7000 cpus also know about the fact, that the ones who have 3D v-cache, have it on only one of the two pertaining chiplets, which means that only about half the cores have direct access to the 3D v-cache memory. And as such, AMD doesn't...

It's a legit card that is sort of well built. Steve can't keep a straight face as he keeps roasting the audience. Could you imagine a "hello kitty" RTX 4090? Because it looks like a move in that direction!

Clean your computers, people! Cleanliness is next to godliness! It was that time of the year again. I don't have many things in life to be proud about, but this is one of them. Could you really tell its 8 years old if you didn't recognize the tech inside?

I am a graduated computer tech that went into welding career. I did it because back in the days there wasn't as much money in it as it was in metalwork. While I don't regret it, I still love computer work, thus I pretty much get requests to build/maintain/repair computers all the time... for a...
