  1. Also here to complain about the missing link for the 900 tests.
  2. What an absolutely wild post. Everything you said is either demonstrably wrong or only partially true to the point it seems like you're doing it on purpose.
  3. Summary MasterPlus, CoolerMaster's software control suite, to become open source and allow other products, including competitor products, to integrate via plugins and an API. Quotes My thoughts Always a fan of open source, I'm extremely excited to hear this news. Hopefully this means that it'll work on Linux eventually too!

  4. With the steam deck bringing Linux gaming to the regular public, I think more Linux coverage is going to be amazing. No one else is really doing it right now, so getting out ahead will really let you take the early market for it. You can automate this too using [bcdedit](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/manufacture/desktop/bcd-system-store-settings-for-uefi?view=windows-11) on Windows and [efibootmgr](https://www.linuxbabe.com/command-line/how-to-use-linux-efibootmgr-examples) in Linux to switch back and forth. Linux also has the advantage of not needing to reinstall drivers since you can just disable the ones you aren't using in modprobe.
  5. Can we just get an official blurb that says you're not putting product name in the title anymore?
  6. It's mostly frustrating to me, because I've gone back to look for a video to see what a product was called, but it's not in the title so I can't ctrl+f and look for it (youtube's search sucks). So I have to scroll through the videos, find a video that might be about the thing that I want to look at, then click it it, check to make sure it is the video that I want, then go to the description. That's dumb and a waste of my time. I can forgive baity thumbnails, as I never have to think about it again after I click on it, but not being able to ctrl+f on their video page is super annoying.
  7. I'm open to that, but they had a video that's probably not even a year old where they said they were going to start adding the products back in to the title and, as far as I'm aware, haven't made an announcement stating otherwise. Also, they just did it 4 days ago on this video. At the same time, didn't do it on this video from 4 days ago. And one more for good measure, Shortcircuit did it yesterday as well.
  8. This video is specifically about the NexDock 2 yet it's not in the title. I get not putting the product name if you're going over multiple items, but I thought you all said that you were going to start adding product names again for searchability?
  9. Did you guys stop putting the product name in the title?
  10. Okay real talk. You were saying that the always online DRM is going to prevent you from running your old Windows XP games, how about you try this setup in Linux and see if you can get the games to run in proton on this setup? (Long shot, but it could be an option to revive your old games). The 6800 is supported in the 304.xxxx drivers which are still hosted on Nvidia's site and has a release date from September 2017. You might have to do some serious downgrading to Xorg or the Kernel since it's pretty old, or you might be able to grab a distro from near that time, but I think this should work in theory.
  11. Yep I understand that. I was lucky enough to start using Linux when I was in high school and had a ton of free time. It doesn't feel like I do any more work on my nix boxes then I did on my Windows boxes, but I also have 10 years of experience with it. As a compromise, you could get another drive and dual boot. Then if you ever experience trouble you can just do a quick reboot and get back into Windows.
  12. In the Enterprise, you always want to use an off the shelf solution if possible. The reason for this is two fold. 1) They are generally easier to get up and running 2) If something goes wrong you have someone else to lean back on if you can't solve it yourself. Also, if you ever build your own solution and it breaks, your job will be on the line because it will 100% be your fault and if the customer loses a lot of money you'll be an easy scape goat to save face.
  13. That is incorrect. https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=1504-QHXN-8366 Steamworks is supported back to 12.04, but not the client.
  14. 16.04 isn't supported for steam. If you read Steam's Linux requirements : The current LTS is 18.04
