My desktop still has a 1060. It's not great in new games but still works.

Finally found a Linux bluetooth gaming controller for only $17! in c/linux_gaming@lemmy.world

That's been my experience. Steam controller, Xbox One controllers, 8bitdo sn30, 8bitdo ultimate mg have all worked fine for me on 3 different laptops, desktop, and steam link.

Is it worth the trouble with an Nvidia card? in c/linux_gaming@lemmy.world

I have a laptop with an Rx 7600s. There was two games I had to use prime-run because they wanted to use the igpu instead. Other then that haven't had to. The two games were Verdun and Tannenberg. Isonzo works perfect though.

I have a laptop and a desktop with a GTX 1060 that run fine, and another laptop with a GTX 1050ti that is also great. Running Arch with KDE and Wayland. No problems.

Men who shave... in c/askmenover30@lemm.ee
[–] PancakeBrock@lemmy.zip 2 points 5 months ago

My great grandpa was Chickasaw and had no facial hair, my grandpa had no facial hair, my dad grows a tiny thin mustache, and I have an ok beard and mustache. I didn't have to start shaving until my mid 20's. I maybe trim up and shave twice a month now. But I also let the beard just stay at a constant length and shave around it then trim the mustache. Sadly where most people's beard and mustache connect together that area for me is very patchy so I shave it.

2022 moto g power. Nice cheap phone with a shit camera that's still working haha.

Edit: also I do construction so the glass in front of the lens is definitely scratched. Makes for extra bad pictures.

Ended up getting sick with the flu on my week off but I got mostly everything done. We also had 3 new baby goats last Sunday.

Took the week off. Cleaning and organizing my shed. Wish me luck. in c/dull_mens_club@lemmy.world

I also have 7 acres, 1 donkey, and too many goats.

I've been doing allot of blue grass/new grass recently. Even bought a mandolin a few months back. Sea shanties aren't too far off haha. Been learning allot of fiddle tunes and Irish stuff on the mandolin.

Took the week off just because I have a ton of PTO saved up because I never miss work haha. Decided I just didn't feel like going this week. Then decided might as well work around the house since I'm not working.

I don't think I know how to relax.

Microphone with steam remote play/steam link app (lemmy.zip)

So I've been messing around with steam remote play. I've got 2 older laptops that I've got running with steam that streams to both of my kids tvs. Everything works great except today I decided to see if a Bluetooth headset would work for steam/in game voice chat.

When I tried it the laptops are using their built in microphones and unlike on Windows I don't see an option for the steam streaming microphone. I'm not sure if there is a way to get it to work but if anyone has an idea I would appreciate it.

I'm on Arch btw.

Edit: I didn't explain myself very well. Trying to have the device running the steam link app have a Bluetooth headset/earbuds connected to it then pass the microphone input to the laptop running steam.

Cleared a clogged kitchen sink today (lemmy.zip)
 

Planned on also changing my daughter's brake pads but ended up having to run the snake down 80 times before it actually cleared.

Setup Arch on New Laptop (lemmy.zip)
 

I've been running Arch for about a year on my pretty old Acer laptop with an I7 8750h and a GTX 1060. Got a pretty good deal on a used Asus Tuf A16 with a Ryzen 7 7735hs and an RX 7700s.

Getting Arch going with my Nvidia card was a bit of a pain. Still have the random game that thinks it needs to use the Intel GPU (which I eventually solved).

So is there anything I need to do for this new laptop or since it's all AMD should everything just work?

Install updates for Repacks on Linux (lemmy.zip)
 

Decided to try a few Repacks on Arch Linux. I used heroic launcher to install the games but now have no clue how to install the updates. Any one have any ideas how to get it to work?

Needing some help to get started running. (lemmy.zip)
 

Trying to see if anyone has a routine for someone totally new to running. I'm a big fan of "this week do this, build up to do this, etc..." I'm in my thirties and from a young age until I was about 20 I had severe asthma. I've never been good at running. Asthma doesn't bother me anymore but I'm needing something to do while traveling for work. I work construction all across the state and come home on the weekends.

If anyone has some ideas that would be great. When I do stuff I tend to over do it then it then it's hard to make myself go out again.
