It wasn’t tho. It was a really great idea. It just became shit.

I just download all the extra ram and gigabits I need from ads I see on Fox news dotcom, works fjn efnor meerrreerrttynygnngnhnhm fklsbfnlltkkfovfñngjkkkjdjjffjjjnnvnvnvnggnnggnngn ff f f f f. F f. F f f f f f f f f f. G g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g

Hahaha - update on issue, it was my switch, but not the switch, I think WHEN I used the the switch (like toggling between my other machine) it made things mad until I rebooted. Then when I rebooted it was fine until I used the switch again. So I just changed the things I used on the switch and everything is kosher now.

Okay it’s actually fixed now. Games are running smoothly and shaders are loading better. It must have been a funky driver.

Follow up - issue came back. I’m thinking it may be hardware or driver at this point. I am going to mess with that this evening and I will report back.

If that doesn’t work - I will do the os refresh bc I haven’t actually done that yet.

Edit: this is more of a log for myself at this point, but I am refreshing the os now.

edit two, the editing: refresh complete. will update tomrrow.

I think I actually fixed it?

i tried to do an os refresh but kept getting some generic error bc the backup partition wouldnt update?

after a bunch of fumbling around I actually slowed down and took a second to read the errors and saw an error for a game i had removed.

so after ducking around (intentional duckduckgo pun) i found the sudo apt purge command and zapped it

then i followed https://support.system76.com/articles/upgrade-pop/ and some things happened and downloaded and i rebooted

and its working now? I will know for sure if its working if doesn’t start happening again in an hour.

but i think it might be good to go based on that experience.

Edit: continues to work. Might be solid. Will report back tomorrow.

So I turned off fractional scaling (i did that before as well and nothing changed) and ran more updates and then shut down and rebooted- issue seems to be stopped for the moment.

if it comes back, I will create an update post. Thanks!

edit - it did come back but see response below.

I’m going to attempt an os refresh and see if that does anything.

Will report back.

Different now - works flawless with lutris

Mastodon is picking up steam - it’s only a matter of time

Looks fucked mate

I need a link

Sounds like someone is in denial.

Ive honestly become more aware of this and I am doing my best to be better about it. I try to shop local. I’ve mostly moved to free and open source software. My last car and all future cars will be used cars from the 90s. I try to buy used mostly everything honestly.

I got serious about my data and digital foot print.

I don’t want to be a product any more.

Please do not normalize this rampant artificial inflation. There is no reason prices should be as high as they are. None. Corporate profits are higher than ever. This is pure and simple corporate greed. This should not be normal.

Don’t use hand sanitizer, at least not the gel type, it will leave a residue. You just need like 91% isopropyl alcohol - stuff you would use to clean a wound.

Edit - I looked it up, it’s called surgical spirit in the UK.

I can echo this. My games do have better performance running on pop_os rather than Windows.

Good ole rubbing alcohol and a q-tip! That’s all you need.

Edit: I don’t know if you have “q-tips” - it’s a cotton swab or cotton stick, would be the generic name. The things you aren’t supposed to stick in your ear but that’s what everyone does anyway.
