DS5 is probably the best you can choose. The build quality is good and they work fine with Linux via Bluetooth. Also it is not some exotic choice and is widely supported.

The Xbox controllers are also working fine, but they are lacking the gyro and touchpad. Also the build quality wasn’t great when I used one the last time (A button not registering every press and wonky d-pad). They are a bit cheaper, but also much worse imo.

I updated my post with my own results. tldr: it doesn’t work at all

Does this fix the RTX 20XX (Super) crashes in cyberpunk 2077? Did anyone test it?

Edit: Now that I had some time I tested the beta driver on Arch Linux using an RTX 2080 Super and I am only getting a black screen or it crashes immediately depending on the flags I use. So the beta driver made it worse than before and it is still unplayable.

I am starting to believe it just affects the 2000 series of cards then although some of the driver bugs causing crashes should affect all modern Nvidia cards equally.

I am confused why that’s the case though.

I looked through protondb again and it looks like all people using 20XX cards cannot play the game. While it looks fine for 30XX with some minor tweaks. For older cards it is a mixed bag, but there are just very few reports overall.

Looks like it really is just turing cards affected then. Bummer!

Thank you for testing. Seemingly it is just the 20XX cards affected then. I just checked the other reports again and they are also using turing cards. Bummer!

Create a new character, select corporate start and once the other person enters the room the game crashes just for the easiest 100% reproducible crash. Other people have the same problems and even if they get past that (different game start) it still frequently crashes due to Nvidia driver bugs as far as I understand it.

If it works so well for you what’s your setup? I heard some older Nvidia cards might work better.

It is just unfortunate that it does not run on Nvidia hardware. The benchmark runs if you disable all RTX features, but it crashes on a new game before you even have full control of the character.

Looking at protondb it looks like all people with Nvidia have issues since the 2.0 update. I hope there will be some fix soon. I don’t want to replace the GPU yet it would be a waste (2080 Super).

For now I am playing it on my Steam Deck instead.

I almost forgot it existed. It was a slight improvement, but with a whole bunch of new problems (most notable race conditions which were never fixed) and it was made obsolete by systemd.

It was a good evolutionary step only used by Ubuntu iirc. It was better at that time than the previous init system, but not more than that and it never found wide adaption.

I used Linux (and some Unix) before systemd was a thing and init scripts are jank. So much boilerplate and that was before things like proper isolation existed and other more modern features.

I don’t understand why anyone would want that back.

A replacement of systemd with something else would be fine, but please no more init scripts and pointless run levels.

Just no!

I would probably prefer having a headphone jack. I am using wireless buds though. The problem with them is the price. While you can get decent wired earbuds for around $100 or even slightly less you have to pay at least $300 for decent wireless ones. Seriously I tried a few, but they all sounded like absolute garbage. It’s probably a cheap DAC in all of them combined with even less available space due to batteries and other electronics.

Another downside is that you can only use them for like 5 hours at a time. It is fine most of the time, but on long train rides I hit the limitation a few times.

Overall I am happy with the wireless ones, they are convenient, but it is really expensive to replace them and you have fewer choices, so having wired headsets as an option would be great.

I never tried wireless Bluetooth interfaces though and I suspect they might be better than the inbuilt jack of phones which would make them obsolete in my opinion.

I didn’t know it is a book. I liked the movie though.

I should probably add it to my list then!

Because the sun is also a depleting source of energy. I question the definition of renewable that’s all.

I would have never considered nuclear energy being renewable, but I guess a similar argument could be made.

It’s an interesting take. I guess the sun is not renewable either.

Is any practically infinite (in human scales) source of energy called renewable? I am hearing this for the first time.

How is nuclear renewable?

I am in hospital and bored out of my mind. I keep scrolling and scrolling and…

Unfortunately they are very in your face unless you fully submit to their view. They belittle your efforts if it is anything but outright revolution, cheer on horrible regimes and deny genocides. Very US centric point of view.

Of course it is not all of them, but that’s what you will experience very soon if you interact with them, because it is a radicalized echo chamber let loose.

Our instance actually managed to get defederated from them though. Although it wasn’t handled well from either side they seriously only dish out, but can’t take a hit. I won’t say that nothing of value was lost, because there were a few moderate users and of course some interesting content might be lost, but overall my lemmy experience got better without them.

No, I don’t use reddit anymore. Kinda. I sometimes visit Reddit due to search results. Otherwise there is not much I miss or care about.

The content isn’t as plenty here, but it is still giving me my mindless scrolling fix.

I am old school :)
