My community college(1997) had a Suse linux computer lab that I learned on. It was mostly used as a networking/server and programming platform.

Loki was the leading porting developer at the time.

Ok, I see where you are coming from. I agree that it is a niche product category and I don’t understand what Meta and Apple see in AR & VR and am real confused why Apple of all companies decided to enter it like this. They usually avoid niche products. I enjoy VR occasionally and think it is great, but not enough to put hundreds of millions into it.

From what I see Valve is probably the only one taking a proper approach. They have a platform and hardware for it and support it, but aren’t really going from the mountain tops yelling this is the greatest next thing. To be fair they have been supporting it since , what 2015ish.

Surgeons are already trialing using them with surgery. Additionally I’d use it for video consumption, but not at that price. A portable movie theater sounds cool.

Just because me or you don’t have a personal use for something doesn’t mean they have “no use case”.

Until risc-v is at least as performant as top of the line 2 year old hardware it isn’t going to be of interest to most end users. Right now it is mostly hobbyist hardware.

I also think a lot of trust if being put into it that is going to be misplaced. Just because the ISA is open doesn’t mean anything about the developed hardware.

It isn’t as simple as just compiling. Large programs like games then need to be tested to make sure the code doesn’t have bugs on ARM. Developers often use assembly to optimize performance, so those portions would need to be rewritten as well. And Apple has been the only large install of performant ARM consumer hardware on anything laptop or desktop windows. So, there hasn’t been a strong install base to even encourage many developers to port their stuff to windows on ARM.

A lot of developers bought these. I’d classify the Apple Vision Pro as an early adopter type product right now. Hardware capabilities look impressive, but software has rough edges from what I have read. I don’t think Apple really has a feel where this device is going to go yet either.

I could see developers using both the NVK and M1 drivers depending on which best suits their needs for hardware similarity. It is also interesting that both are not super opensource friendly hardware manufacturers. Good hardware, less so on openness.

Based on the little you share, I would lean towards that being a valid diagnosis. Nothing wrong with getting a second opinion though. Sounds like this is pretty new to you, so it is understandable that you a feeling this way. I’d suggest doing some research on it to see if you can relate and maybe check out local mental health support groups. They are free and peers with mental illnesses themselves. Talking to friends or people you know that you trust about how you were doing before treatment and now may be helpful as it can be very difficult to have personal insight with mental health issues.

There are various injectable treatments for it these days which means you don’t have to remember to take pills. Some last around a month and I have heard there are some that last half a year.

Pricing seems about right if in the US. A month of generic pills can be around $700 without insurance not to mention doctor appointment co-fees. Keep in mind that not taking schizophrenia treatment can end up costing more, not even getting into broken relationships, lost jobs and interruptions to education.

That only works for water based paints. What would you do when the customer want oil based paint to be used?

Seriously. If you are going to do it, write in assembly or something else no one understands.

Don’t be so nice.

From what you have commented I would lean toward either a power issue or a pcie signaling issue. Are you running any kind of overclock? You could try underclocking and see if that stabilizes it as it won’t draw as much power.

I’d do some compute tests on a usb live system. Something like y-cruncher for instance. Could be all kinds of things. Power supply could be flaky, gpu, cpu,motherboard, storage. best suggestion is process of elimination.

Try using it with a gui and see if you can crash it if you don’t have alternatives for example. Check the storage’s smart health. Check dmesg. Ssh in when a crash happens if possible.

Did you happen to run it with different versions of proton? Each version would possibly be identified as a different “system”.

I’ve used both keyboards and I’d say the MK is the better typing one. I personally rarely use the trackpad myself. I been using iPads since the first one came out and muscle memory has me jumping to touch the screen on the iPad. I don’t have that issue on my desktop. :)

I’d personally suggest looking for sales or a good used one as I think both are grossly overpriced. For your use cases an iPad is definitely fine. One thing to note is you basically only get Safari for web browsing. The 3rd party one are just skins at the moment. I am hoping one of the EU laws will change that soon.

Android is just as much linux. Sure it has some additional patches. Saying it isn’t linux would be the same as saying linux with Plasma or Gnome is not linux because it isn’t on a server. The user interface is just different and they block root.

Were you running steam at the time? Try closing steam first and trying again. I have experienced this as an issue when using heroic.

I’d like a true Firefox(not webkit) and Emulators.

I would assume either the way it was packaged for your system or some missing package.

Don’t you love when you give in and go to get help for something and you can no longer reproduce it after you ask?

You have pipewire. It is compatible with pulseaudio. I find it very surprising that you don’t show aac. I am not familiar with sbc-xq, but Apple products don’t support ldac and my understanding is sdc is not useful for audio listening, but rather calls. My M4s work fine on my desktop with an intel ax201 Bluetooth chipset. I have been using aac there, but ldac worked I think. I had problems with the usb BT adapter before that though.
