I think S tier is a tad high for the Switch. Joycon drift and paid online features paired with sub-par netcode in first party titles bumps it down a letter grade for me.

n64 controller was garbage and game cube one was right behide it..
agree.

I'd just stick with the Nikon 1 for now until you get a decent grasp of the basics and really get a feel for what you need without others telling you what you need. It's very rare that spending more money gets you the results you're expecting if you haven't even gotten a handle of what you already own.

Cool clouds, cool godrays, not in love for the foreground. Seems to me you have some decent rocky outcrops on the right? I feel like perhaps if the composition was adjusted and you boost the shadows you could have a stunner of a photo. Or maybe lean into the clouds more with a longer lens/tighter crop.

DDU is something you do when you're experiencing issues otherwise unexplainable. I've never really needed it but I've seen it be helpful for very strange problems or performance issues.

Well hardware acceleration is different from the main core obviously, so it's possible it's defective in some way. But the solution to me is the truly bizarre part, I can't think of any reason as to why that'd fix it.

Haha, if you want to torture yourself, feel free to use bluetooth peripherals. Switching from bluetooth to the official dongle on the xbox controller for example is night and day.

Giant ugly computer with used components barely matches brand new console in pricing and performance.
 
Great vid guys.

I certainly don't like the PS5 either. I've got the XBreadBin.

Even if I were ok with a loud eyesore in my living room, I don't think the others in my house would be.

now match the price and performance of a used ps5 :DDDDD

Cherry picked.
 
Please... please stop falling for this. For every passable thing generative AI puts out, there are thousands of rubbish results, and the reason companies are so invested in this is because people have to pay for the garbage it generates too. So it's seen as potentially very profitable if it works, so they will show all the cherry picked stuff and not tell how many mutative steps were required to get that result.

USB protocol only supports 6 key rollover. Companies basically hack together N-key rollover by emulating multiple usb interfaces. There's usually a way to turn off nkey rollover for bios compatibility on older/finicky boards which it seems is what happened here.
 
The only true native way to get n-key rollover is with PS/2.

Quicksync is certainly more efficient for the use case. My plex server only uses igpu and does plenty of 4k movies.

No, Apple is a tech company. What they attempt to portray themselves as however is a lifestyle and fashion brand. This is why Mac content doesn't typically jive much with your typical tech news since the people who care, care for more than just the tech specs of the products. They care about how it looks and how it'll fit into their lifestyle, and how it makes others perceive them.

Sure but people should really be using a larger Molex connection and not Sata for an ad hock PCIE connection. Molex is rated up to 8.5 amps per wire.

I really don't know what many of you are talking about. It's like you haven't used Linux in a decade.
 
Games: Most games on Steam work out of the Box with proton, some with heavy anti-cheat won't work; check it on Protondb. For games from other platforms or disk or whatever, there's Lutris and only if you have a game where there exists no lutris-script or that's pirated is where you'd have to tinker.
 
Work: The office suite is available as web-page and libre-office isn't half bad either.
 
For nearly everything you want, there's a proper, not seldom better alternative for Linux.
 
You don't have to learn how to code or use the terminal, but most users do it and most new users will want to, because it's damn efficient and want to know what all the fuzz is about. It's pretty cool if you can work with it as well.
 
Like I always say: Linux gets only complicated if you try to do stuff you couldn't do on windows anyway. For most things there's a script somewhere on the internet you have to find, and if you start doing the tinkering, make a backup (dd is the first thing to learn here) and you've avoided any risk.
 
I'm on Debian Stable, notorious for outdated packages, together with pretty new hardware. I don't have any problems whatsoever and haven't had to open a terminal since I installed pipewire, which is very much optional, like everything else you'd need the terminal for.
 
It's not just for devs, it's really for everybody. Only advice left to give is: If you do something you don't feel secure about, open the official documentation and follow the instructions. It's also always handy to have a friend that knows his way around Linux. That's really the most helpful thing. If you don't have any, there are also this forum and reddit. There's virtually no problem you'll ever have that hasn't been solved by other people yet.
 
I'd start with Debian if you'd like to learn the art of tinkering, POP!_OS for gaming with an NVIDIA-card, Nobara for everything else and Arch if you really like pain.
