I’ve never heard of btop but I can look at it👍

But wouldn’t it be weird for it to be temperature related when the computer was just started and unplugging/plugging the external screen solve the issue? This would make think it’s display related no?

Yeah I guess you’re right, my last chance of solving the problem could be by creating a spreadsheet with as much data as possible on every occurrence…

I don’t think it would be a thrilling investigation though😅

What are IO and Iotop?

Apparently the BIOS is up to date even if my knowledge about these is quite limited…

About something dying in the computer, it would be surprising as it has been like this for the last 4 years and only happens maybe once a month after starting…

I guess I should have said it before, but it happens when starting the computer, sometimes a week after an update, so I don’t think it’s heat related. Especially because it sometimes solves itself after unplugging/plugging the external monitor through USB-C.

I don’t know anything about the specific computer you’re talking about, but usually the issues are with ARM.

Exactly! The good part of such a shortage is that old tech can stay relevant for far longer and devs will have to optimize more.

Sometimes, therés a lot of good in a bad situation.

I want great games, not necessarly more demanding ones. The Last of Us 2 is still the most beautiful game I’ve played and I don’t really need more if it means getting new hardware.

I’d also love to have a normal PS5 partition and a Linux one. This would be the best of both worlds, but I think I’m dreaming too much😇

Yes but if the only extension that breaks is important in your workflow, you’re still left with a sour taste.

That’s why, despite needing more extensions, I’ve only iept 3-4 which never break.

I’m not sure I know enough to be able to take a side, but I really enjoy Gnome even if having more customization option would be a bonus.

If Cosmic brings this without having to rely on extension, then I’m all for it.

People are gonna tell me to just use KDE, but I’ve never had a great experience with it for the few hours I’ve spent on it in desktop mode on my Steam Deck.

I’d love such a feature on Linux, but I don’t think it’s happening anytime soon.

Oh yeah I fully agree that no game can satisfy everyone.

It’s just that, before playing it myself, I never heard a bad thing about it so I might have expected too much out of it.

Still I enjoyed it, even if it’s not a game I’ll recommend to everyone.

It’s a great game, but not the masterpiece everyone told me.

Well for arm it might come but since you can’t really upgrade these new Macs, they are less interesting in a way…

I use a MacBook Pro 2012 as a secondary computer and I find it very exciting to install Linux on beautiful hardware like these old Macs.

It’s surprizingly Linux friendly (except reseting the wifi once a year). I don’t know why but previously I never thought you could install Linux on a Mac😅

I’ve loved Uncharted and the Last of Us, but this one isn’t attracting me for now…

It was a really enjoyable video and it’s the first time I see any video of the creator of a project I love. I also enjoy LTT videos even if people on Lemmy dislike him. I like the fact that he’s trying to have another platform than youtube, even if it ain’t the one I support (Peertube).

Well I’m sometimes feeling like I wouldn’t be happy if Linux became the norm, as it would kind of robb me of my rebellion.

Still I’m really invested into Linux, so it ain’t just a rebellion, but I’m sure I’m not the only one who wants Linux to stay under the 20% marketshare.

I also want to add that dual-booting can be a really good first step and shouldn’t be looked at with disdain.

This is the only thing I’d use it for, so it would be nice if it could do it.

Even worse, shés using Windows 11. But a friend of her’s who’s the IT guy for every old lady in the area loves Microsoft products and I can’t do anything against it.

Even proposing to be available to help wasn’t enough…

Stupid me, I didn’t see the link😅
