Never knew there is a script to hook. It works flawlessly since the beginning for me with Arch.

Damn it. Just when I bit the bullet and bought Diablo 4 on Battlenet. I bet whenever they launch Diablo 4 on Steam, they'll not just transfer my license it to Steam.

Edit: FWIW I'm using the Battlenet launcher with Lutris, and so far it's far less problematic than Epic. Hasn't yet forgotten my log in and asked for password again like Epic does every few days which is super annoying (pretty sure this is how they operate on Windows also).

This is the kind of things I like to hear!

Hmm no I have no lags at all. Happy to help any tests on my machine if it helps you to diagnose your issue.

The latest versions - DXVK 2.2, lutris-GE-Proton8-10.

I hate GUI for every little thing. Config files are so much more flexible, shareable, and use friendly because you can edit them with anything and can have much more control.

I'm not sure why you say that. I've been using Arch to play triple A games (Control, Diablo 4, Elden Ring, Death Stranding, etc.) with NVidia GPU even (which is known to have proprietary driver and not as tweakable). Never had a single glitch, everything runs like native.

7% return is rather good, it will double my market return and moreover with much less risk. Mainly the uncertainty of the economy is what makes me worry.

Also increasing medical costs is part of the equation I guess. Aging is a pain. Hence I'm trying to balance retirement with some life left vs earning some more to make things smoother. Having said that, I sort of did take that into account.

Should I pull the plug and RE?

  • Today my investments are 0.5% away from 3% withdrawal rate to equal expected spending
  • Am invested ~50% in growth funds, 43% in S&P, 7% in bonds and money market
  • If I work, I'll earn ~7% of my NW per year

I'd buy a pre owned card from eBay.

Go with RTX 2070 Super which should be around your price point. If not, then RTX 2070 (not super).

Make sure returns are accepted, and seller has high rating (99%).

I beg to differ. I think it's very harmful.

  • There as absolutely no reason for anyone in Arch to use snap to install something mainstream like Firefox. Same goes for other OS's like Fedora etc. (which are all mined in similar way, just change it to /fedora for instance).
  • The page presents itself as if it's the only choice, and can easily scam someone who's just getting into Linux into installing snap. I think it's designed for that purpose. Arch links to the package, but not step by step guide (which is on Arch), but this can easily lure people into installing snap and being none the wiser the it's not the default package manager for their distro.
  • It's 4th for Firefox, but I've seen it as the top result for some other packages. Probably Google caught up, or probably for packages not mainstream as Firefox it still shows snap as number one result.
