A good power supply by a well-known brand instead of the cheapest. Because if it blows up, all other PC components are in danger of breaking and this can result in data loss.

It is still my favorite game ever, regarding story, world-building, characters, music, graphics, quests and overall gameplay.

But it's a bit weak on combat mechanics, there I prefer Elden Ring and Dark Souls 3.

Well, probably depends on the tools used to uncompress and compress the files. Some old releases just unpack hundreds of GB without stopping.

Use Bottles with the Sandbox option enabled (and sound enabled). So, native performance but without access to files outside the Wine prefix (virtual Windows folder where the game is installed) and without network access. This way, you don't have to worry about games phoning home, containing a crypto miner or ransomware.

Also, forget about FitGirl repacks on Linux, most don't unpack correctly.

I'm using both Boost apps, Boost for Reddit and Boost for Lemmy. This way, I can only differentiate the networks by their post quality.

Reddit is bad to mediocre, full of memes and karma farming

Lemmy has few posts, but feels closer to the user

This would be terrible, because any website could potentially make you a seeder for „illegal“ content while normally browsing the web without a VPN. Meaning, your real IP address may accidentally be recorded by some lawerers and you'll get a fine for whatever you accidentally shared (very dangerous, depending on country).

There are already solutions for webtorrents, but at least these scripts can be blocked.

Apple's requirements should be a pile of money, a big pile of money.

Thanks, it worked! I enabled HDR before and never had any problems with it on NVIDIA with the latest 560 driver.

Easily the scariest was „Amnesia: The Dark Descen“ (2010).

Beborn Beton – Truth (Album)

 

It is the only file in there.

For podcasts and radio, you'll need another program. But this is the closest any player has come to the Windows-only MusicBee masterpiece. Via Wine, I've been using MusicBee since I switched to Linux a few months ago, but it was tedious to set up.

Tauon Music Box has the best search I've ever seen, just type anywhere and start playback with left click or jump to song/artist/album with right click. It also has a great way to write filter and sort queries for custom libraries (the same as playlists here). F5 shows the current cover and song name in "fullscreen" with a frequency spectrum visualizer.

Screenshots from my library with custom settings:

I also consider using it to play my audiobooks, because you can separate playlists to scan separate folders and not get music and audiobooks mixed.

 

I chose Debian 12 as a solid and stable base. Which of these shipped DEs is the best for this particular laptop series and Windows 10 like user experience?

GNOME 43, KDE Plasma 5.27, LXDE 11, LXQt 1.2.0, MATE 1.26, Xfce 4.18

Don't know the exact laptop model and year, but here are some specs: IdeaPad, only HDD, DVD drive, shipped with Win 8 or 10 (I think), unbearably slow on Win 10 currently

Use case: office, web, movies (not streaming), things for non-tech-savvy users

Personally, I'm using Arch btw with KDE Plasma 6 on Wayland, so I would prefer this over other DEs, but Debian still ships version 5. Has anyone experience with performance on an old Lenovo laptop with any of the listed environments?
