cyborganism

Yeah back then I was in elementary school. I chased single percent performance gains from bleeding edge because I couldn’t just buy better hardware. If you wanted the latest versions of anything ubuntu couldn’t do it without iffy unofficial repos and dependency hell. I did it anyway and it sucked.

Wait wait… if you had an old ass computer, why did you need the bleeding edge stuff? That doesn’t make sense.

Also, I’m still skeptical about immutable distros. I like being in control of my PC. And I’m too old school I guess.

I have had ONLY NVidia cards since my first ever own PC in 2000 when I started college.

I’ve used Mandrake Linux for a while then switched to Ubuntu when it came out in 2004 and have used that ever since.

I’ve NEVER encountered any problems whatsoever. In fact, it made using an NVidia card easier because of its built-in third party driver installation tool that takes care of everything.

If something doesn’t work, it’s very probable that it’s because the user messed around with something and caused it to happen.

Just use Ubuntu/Kubuntu/Mint if you want a hassle free, secure, and stable Linux distro that supports everything and works out of the box.

Don’t use those gaming centric distros like Bazzite. It’s not worth it. Don’t use Arch or other bleeding edge distros unless you want to keep troubleshooting your system because of problems or vulnerabilities.

Take it from me. I’ve been using Linux since 2001 and Ubuntu based distros have always been the best choice for a secure stable OS.

I used to be like that. I just get so tied from work, seeing computers and software all day and having to constantly learn new technology that at home I’m just looking for something that doesn’t change too much and is familiar.

I’ve been using Ubuntu/Kubuntu since 2004 and I’ve always been happy and had very little problems.

It’s a good, no hassle distro that works and is fairly up to date, especially if you use the non-LTS ones. I prefer staying with LTS though. At least my OS is stable and I don’t have to spend my free time troubleshooting anything.

This is probably the best answer.

Eventually it will be shut down. And if they just released the Switch 2, it means it’s coming soon.

I’ve stated repurchasing my Switch games on Steam (when rebates apply)

My switch games were all digital copies except for Zelda and Sea of Stars. I don’t know if they’ll even be available in the future should I accidentally delete them.

Eventually I might mod my Switch when it’s not supported anymore by Nintendo and it doesn’t connect to their network anymore.

I’m taking advantage of the steam summer sale to basically re-buy most of my Switch games for PC at cheap prices just for that.

AH ok I get it now.

Yeah, I thin the first Switch will be the last console I’ll ever own. Except for big IP titles, most games are available on PC as well. And are often better, with more effects and higher refresh rates. And with devices like the Lenovo Legion Go, they blow even the Switch 2 out of the water. And you also control the software on it. They can’t be bricked by the manufacturer for modifying the software either. And you can use any other controller you want.

Nintendo is in big trouble.

I think you posted in the wrong thread maybe?

Add to that the butt ugly blue and yellow icon from the 90’s.

Diaspora had it going on I found. It’s a shame it didn’t catch on. And that they didn’t adapt it to ActivityPub.

Excellent! I changed mine already with similar replacents and haven’t had problems since, thankfully.

But if it happens again though, I’ll know what to look for. Thank you!

Are there hall effects joysticks you can buy to replace them? Do you have any exaples of parts that you would recommend?

I don’t think there’s any difference between all versions of Switch 1 controllers. They all use the same sticks. And yes, they are prone to drift. It’s a manufacturing issue.

My advice is to learn how to fix them yourself and buy aftermarket replacement parts and fix it yourself. There’s plenty of YouTube tutorials on that.

Reactionary to what?

Why cancel lemmy? it ain’t perfect, but it’s not a bad platform.

All I can tell you is that I’ve played HDR PC games and the difference is noticeable. If the Switch 2 can do it, it’ll be worth it. But maybe wait until there’s an actual HDR title that comes out?
