Unfortunately, there are entire genres of games that don't work on Linux, mostly because of anticheat.
None of the popular battle royale games work in Proton, and in fact won't even run in a Windows install inside VMware. (PUBG and Fortnite are a complete no-go.)
Other than that I've been able to get most games working with more or less faffing about although sometimes there are completely baffling issues I could certainly understand people not wanting to deal with.
Steam Deck has an AMD GPU and this requires an nVidia GPU.
If you can't afford a $25,000 EV and you use more than 200 miles a day in commuting, then you should move closer to work. The money you save on gasoline will be huge.
(Actually, if you qualify for the Federal tax credit, you can get one for just under $20k.)
To be fair, actual dead people have been in movies - there's a skeleton out there that willed her remains to the film industry. (She was a stage actress in life, and wanted to keep acting after she kicked the bucket.) She was 'Arch Stanton' in The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly.
Which is both creepy and kind of awesome.
Even AMD's h264 encoder on Linux is butt. A small but notable percentage of files come out looking green.
I've never had a GPU-accelerated encoder produce consistently good files, on any GPU or OS. I just use the CPU, it's not worth the hassle.
The dude is retirement age.
Let him retire.
Or in this case, be a 'brand ambassador' which is the celeb equivalent of being a store greeter; something to do so you don't get too bored in retirement.
They always reinstall a bunch of Google bloatware I have to uninstall. Assuming I can. There are several things it doesn't let you uninstall.
It's almost but not quite annoying enough to make me wipe the thing and install Linux on it.
But it's getting closer.
Electric cars don't HAVE engines!
... AmiKit blows. It installs a ton of crap that did *exist* for the Amiga, yes, but it tries to make it feel non-Amiga-ish.
A Windows taskbar (without removing the Amiga menu bar, mind you, so you have it top and bottom), bad transparency, and hideously gaudy icons.
And it's not even complete. They charge 30 to 80 euros for it, and it doesn't include the ROM files you need to run the damn thing.
If you're going to buy an Amiga emulator, just get Amiga Forever. It's $10 to $40 depending on version, and has legal ROMs and Workbench disks.
2020 Veloster. I paid about $24K for it new, traded it in for just over $23K, and the Bolt was $24k. I have no idea how Veloster resale values compare to other Hyundais. It's a weird car.
I generally keep my cars so long that they're worthless when I'm done, so I'm not terribly concerned about resale value. When I got the Veloster I really wanted an electric, but at the time they weren't in the budget. The current market made it feasible for me.
Had it not been for the market stuff, I would have just kept the Hyundai. It's a decent car, just not what I really wanted.
Huh? I said I bought a Hyundai hatch and a Bolt, not a Mitsubishi hatch and a Tesla.
Given that the general hesitancy about the Bolt due to the recall is why the prices on them haven't gone up with the rest of the car market, letting me get one at a good price, people can hold off on buying them for as long as they like!
I just traded in my '20 Hyundai hatchback on a '19 Bolt with the same amount of miles. And given the current severely messed up state of the car market, wound up saving quite a bit on my âtransportation.
The recall has been done, so it has a brand new battery.
People have asked 'Aren't you afraid of the fire recall?' to which my response is "You mean the firer recall on my Hyundai, for improperly hardened piston oil rings, that could make it burst into flame and detonate at speed, throwing shrapnel?"
The Bolt's battery recall was pretty spectacular in that it was all of them ever sold, but it's not like gas cars don't have similarly scary recalls.
Except that doesn't help me, where I'm allowed to access some Google services through the very locked-down network at work, but I can't have a phone with a camera in it on site.
