Nice

Yes.

Right now I’m documenting the fault and status of the device. I have heard that Asus sometimes “add” extra damage to the device so that they can claim it’s not covered under the warranty.

There’s no reason this should impact your warranty. But also your ASUS warranty is meaningless anyway. Unless you want your device held for a ransom

I currently have an issue with my device. The SD card reader is faulty. It was not working on Bazzite. I thought maybe it might work on Windows (but chances were low). I installed Window and saw the SD card reader was indeed fried.

Now if I submit my device with Bazzite to the Asus representative, they might say “different OS, we can’t help! hurr durr” and send me back. You can’t argue with these on-field agents. I took the safe way and replicated the problem on Windows.

I heard some technicians replace the MB, apply proper shielding, adjust the fan curves, during the repair process so that the issue does not repeat. I’m hoping for this outcome.

tl;dr

You don’t need antivirus on Linux in 99% of scenarios

American Resistance? Just give Eggs pls. Thanks

A: “Hey, did you just download all the movies of 2024?”

B: “Yeah”

A: “That’s illegal”

B: “No no, it’s not illegal. I’m gonna train my AI model. So it’s fine”

A: “With your i3 PC with 4 GB of RAM?”

B: “I’ll get better hardware later on. I might have to watch them to understand what to use for training”

A: “As long as you use it for training, it’s fine. Make sure to not watch it for your entertainment”

B: “Yeah sure, bye”

I have bypassed this issue by exclusively using open-source terminal software. If my softwares aren’t launching in 2-3 seconds, i usually try to find alternatives.

Practically speaking, we are at a turning point regarding Nvidia on Linux. Things were bad before but they have improved significantly. Newer drivers from Nvidia are partially open-source and they seem good so far.

As long as your GPU isn’t too old, it should be fine. Bur you should verify before commiting.

Check your DMs

My man! 🤝

I don’t need any details.

It seems this particular game key can only be activated on MS store as it’s not a GOG key :(

If you are willing to activate the game on MS, I can DM you the key.

Can you write to Mojang as ask for a account migration?

I remember that i made a separate MS account only for Minecraft specifically for this reason.

Keeping the giveaway alive for another day. Given away some of the games. Please check your DMs everyone.

Do you have a Microsoft store account?

Also, it has controller support (slightly dodgy though)

Two shinies! Super lucky!

I think yes. But only GOG and Epic. There are some Amazon specific games. They might have some DRM.

Only one per user unfortunately. I’ll assume you would want Mafia II then.

Any service whose main strength is “OSS, privacy, freedom, security” will usually never hit mainstream success. I say this as a FOSS enthusiast.

That’s the neat part; it doesn’t.

Jokes aside, few games (which I don’t remember) check if the gaming device is a Steam Deck, and accordingly allow the games to run by turning on user-space anticheat.
