Unless you’re European. Then driving manual is considered basic life skill like riding a bike.

I have two problems with this.

1. I consider Razer the most over-hyped and over-priced peripheral producer. The products I’ve seen were not bad, but did cost at least twice as much as their feel suggested. I don’t want to support this.
2. Tilt-wheel. Every mouse I’ve held that had tilt wheel was PITA in the long run. I probably grip the mouse wrong, but I very often tilted the wheel instead pressing the button.

Soldering should be fine, this will probably end up as long winter evening project at some point. Was it possible to re-use gliders after dismembering the mouse?

Swelling problem won’t be fixed as easy. The material of the wheel just expanded, the rubber is twice as big as new one to the point it can’t fit in its hole in the mouse. Internet is full of the same problems, it was either defective batch or it reacts with some specific agent in some people’s sweat. Never the less, the only way is to replace the whole wheel. Need to find out which of my friends have a 3D printer…

I can’t think of how p2p messengers even could have webapp.

Same for me with Black Mesa. Native version has all sorts of graphical glitches while Proton looks as it should.

OTOH some games like Valheim runs very well native.

I wonder what happens with all the hardware that is not considered W11 ready when W10 goes EOL. And no, I don’t think “switch to Linux” mantra is solution for everyone. It sure is possible for a lot of home users, but I mean mainly those thousands and thousands of office/corp/workstation PCs with SW that simply can’t be moved to Linux. Is it simply going to be one huge middle finger from MS?

That is terrible idea, it’s even worse than my fun proposal of openSAUCE…

Well, technically yes, but why pay even a couple quids when I already have purchased the game on PC? Of course there’s this “To support the dev!” but honestly… How much he’s going to make from such a purchase after all?

This is why I find Steam Deck the most tempting handheld console, because it can play (almost) all the games I’ve purchased over last decade on both Steam and GOG. I’m no Nintendo fanboy so I can happily live without Mario or Zelda.

Exactly. Not only the games are still (even after many years) very expensive with not that much “steam sale” level of discounts or various humble/fanatical bundles, it’s Nintendo’s behavior that is the most off putting part in the equation.

Ha, I have no friends so couch co-op is out of the question… /s

I really do like the idea of switch and might be a potential buyer, but… as a long time PC user woth zero console experience I’ll pass. I don’t want to (re)buy games that seems to be quite overpriced on Nintendo. So if anything, I’d be buying Steam Deck.

Anything with XFCE or LXQt desktop? You can try to install that on Garuda/Arch you already have. Or something like Sway, but that might be too awkward from the start.

Try Vikunja, it might tick the box for you.

Tbh Apple Vision pro was probably designed to add more visual spam, not reduce it…

Yes.

Thank you, will have to check the docs… I remeber someone told me it can’t import folder structure, but it’s been a while.

Ok, thank you.

How does it store images? Does it make one huge pile and sort it by metadata and external db magic?

Something like Ventoy?

Are you me? I used to play some online multiplayer games, but switching to linux (some 3 years ago?) and being less competitive came hand in hand. Now I enjoy single players only (with sprinkle of Path of Exile and World of Tanks (well, not really anymore)) and can’t understand why should I even consider going back to those toxic waters of competitive play… Am I officially old?
