highly recommend installing linux on a separate ssd and removing the windows one for installation.

Also your steam library most probably won’t like being loaded from the windows drive, because it is formatted to ntfs, which isn’t perfectly supported on linux.

The title is misleading.

This is still happening, unfortunately, even using the same excuse of child exploitation as always. The main mass-surveillance and age verifications are still in there.

from https://fightchatcontrol.eu/:

Thanks to public pressure, the Danish Presidency has been forced to revise its text, explicitly stating that any detection obligations are voluntary. While much better, the text continues to both (a) effectively outlaw anonymous communication through mandatory age verification; and (b) include planned voluntary mass scannings. The Council is expected to formally adopt its position on Chat Control the 18th or 19th of November. Trilogue with the European Parliament will commence soon after.

Another finn chiming in, linux user for about 1.5 years. Another friend of mine started dual booting recently. Wouldn’t say it’s common to use Linux at all.

Don’t worry. It’s only a suggestion for Fedora 44, so high chance it won’t happen. ( F44 will come out early 2026)

The game moves on rails, doesn’t encourage exploration, doesn’t have any side content or freedom or sidequests until post-story…which also is lacking in content.

To make it better: the game runs terribly even on the latest hardware, matchmaking with friends is a hassle, confusing and doesn’t have an online hub… This is all a deviation from previous MH games, and some features from previous games just don’t exist in wilds.

The story and are combat fine, but the game just forces the story too much and doesn’t give the player much freedom until it’s finished.

Most can be disabled. Mine looks pretty much the same as it did 5 years ago. Try installing the developer edition or nightly to test if you can edit it to your liking

This is the way. I dabbled with a modmic but even that developed a cable issue after a couple of years. Now everything I have is modular and all of their cables can be just swapped out.

Gaming headsets.

Kept buying whatever I could for ~60-70€ at the time, and they kept breaking within a year. Bought proper headphones for 120€ which lasted me 8 years.

I got a reply to this one, for anyone else wondering:

“Yes, it is on the TODO list and we will eventually support it. But it’s not a very high priority.”

Still haven’t found an answer if it will support the wayland screen-tearing protocol for fullscreen applications (games mainly), does anyone know?

Looking great though, looking forward to it next year!

it works on KDE Plasma, you just have to enable it in the settings.

No. I mean allowing screen tearing or disabling vertical sync. It adds input delay which makes competitive shooters feel unresponsive and thus making aiming difficult. For example on GNOME Wayland shooters feel significantly worse than on X11/KDE on Wayland (with tearing allowed)

it all makes sense now! solved.

UPDATE: I am an idiot.

I was setting the acceleration method for the wrong device all the time. I didn’t realize to select the actual mouse from the dropdown in KDE mouse settings until I plugged in my old mouse in.

Anyway that’s the acceleration solved. Also as qwesx pointed out, there is some issue with my Logitech Pro X Superlight. The mouse feels more sluggish when using the wireless dongle compared to it being wired. Must be the wrong polling rate or something?

Huh, it could be that I need a fresh install. I will try adding KDE Neon or something on my Ventoy and post an update. Thanks!

No worries! I switched to AMD (7900 XTX) before christmas and so far I’ve had no issues. A 6800XT should have pretty similar performance to a 4070, not a bad choice either. The drivers are pretty much matured already so most of the launch issues, like VR performance and power usage should be resolved by now.

But NVIDIA also just works, even though the cards can be massive, and they are quite energy efficient. Their control panel is straight from windows XP era though :D

I’m sure whatever you’ll have a great gaming experience no matter what choose :)

The parts are compatible, but not sure if the GPU will fit in the case. You could go for a full tower to be sure.

There are cheaper RTX 4070 models available on the same page, so unless you absolutely want this exact model you could save 60-70€.

Also unless you need all the nvidia features like CUDA, you could also try seeing if you can find a cheap AMD Radeon RX 6950 XT in your country. It would perform better and has more VRAM for future proofing.

I recently built a custom keyboard by getting Keychron Q6 and Ducky One 3 PBT keycaps, the space is slightly tight if it’s not placed evenly, but they work and have shine-through! for the switches you should do your own research, since I like tactile :)

Anyway the keyboard works via the browser app VIA which is open source

edit: check maxgaming if you’re nordic. they have decent selection, it’s where I got my Q6
