I came to this thread to complain about a road I know that's exactly like this, but I just checked it out on Google Maps to make sure I'm complaining with proper details. and it looks like they actually added traffic signals sometime in the past few months!

It's not distributed by Microsoft either, it's distributed by Win.rar GmbH from their own website. The developers made it only for Windows, but that doesn't mean Microsoft played any part in it. Windows is the most widely used desktop OS, especially in business environments, and selling to businesses is where WinRAR makes their money.

Any time I'm hosting and need to make space for a friend to join, I quit the game. This way, the message that appears to the random person says that I quit and not that they were kicked. Then I re-launch the game and make everyone join my squad again. I don't like to make people feel bad about being kicked...

Why doesn't this already work the way I would expect? You can plug your smartphone into your PC and access its entire filesystem, and they're basically both computers. Why can't this work the same way between PCs? Or why can't I access my PC's files from my phone?

I absolutely misinterpreted the title. He quite literally murdered his opponent. Before reading the article, I assumed it meant like, he murdered him at the polls, ya know, politically destroyed. I thought "With a name like Low Tax on the ballot, I guess he won by a landslide or something." Nope, he actually killed a guy.

I'm sure I'll return to Pop eventually, maybe on the next release, but right now I'm struggling to get everything I want out of it with my hardware.

I switched to Cloudflare. Squarespace wasn't going to work for me.

Popping in to give an update before calling it a night!

First of all, thank you for all the help! I've been reading through all the comments here and trying a few things out. The first thing I tried was switching the default desktop environment from the default Gnome to KDE. I much prefer KDE to Gnome since I have experience with it on the Steam Deck, so this is the solution that I had the most hope for. Sadly though, things are much worse in KDE. Unlike in Gnome, KDE has the terrible screen tearing that was mentioned in X11, but is still similarly unable to support running the monitors at different refresh rates. Since a lot of the comments here mentioned Wayland though, that was my real end goal in getting KDE installed. Unfortunately, witching over to KDE Wayland, things became significantly more unusable and it was about the same experience I had while trying to install Nobara. Both displays were totally unresponsive for seconds at a time and I was only able to interact with things during brief moments when they would stutter along instead. This was pretty painful to log back out of and was an overall mess like a couple of you had mentioned it might be.

I went back to Gnome after this. Since KDE didn't seem to be they way forward, I figured I might as well try enabling Wayland on Pop_OS's built in solution. Wayland support was hidden by default on NVIDIA as mentioned, but one quick config edit later and the option appeared. Things seem to be going much better now! I'm running Gnome Wayland right now and while things aren't flawless yet they're significantly better than before. Both monitors are working at their full refresh rates now without any screen tearing or flickering. As for gaming, so far I only have Helldivers 2 installed running through Proton, and performance is about 8% worse than in Windows on the same graphics settings while on the ship. I am also getting an odd visual bug where the in-game menu looks like it opens and closes very quickly every once in a while. It's not actually open or intractable though, it's more like the game randomly displays a single frame from when I did have the menu open to change the graphics settings. Tomorrow I'll try enabling Proton experimental and see if that fixes anything, and also try installing some more games.

I'll come back again to give an update on how things are going then! I'm still lacking HDR and there are other bugs that look like they need to be ironed out, but I'm much more optimistic about this than I was before. I think I'll keep dual-booting for now, at least while I'm still trying to get everything working properly, and hopefully that next version of Pop_OS brings HDR support. For now, it's at least nice to know that different monitor refresh rates are working.

I'm kicking myself for not getting a picture of it, but somewhere driving around town there's a GENTOO license plate with a Lexus plate frame around it.

Like this

...It's a Gentoo Lexus

Gotta start up those assembly lines again somehow. It's a sacrifice I'm sure they're willing to make.

PlayStation official response to Helldivers 2 fans (nitter.poast.org)

“Helldivers fans – we’ve heard your feedback on the Helldivers 2 account linking update. The May 6 update, which would have required Steam and PlayStation Network account linking for new players and for current players beginning May 30, will not be moving forward....

They did give people 3 years of advance notice that would happen, to be fair. Much better than the one month warning this would have been.

I really want HDR, especially in Helldivers, but I can't seem to get in in Linux with my hardware.

People didn't care as much for some reason. They got a free cape and most were happy with that. You also weren't going to lose your Minecraft account for living in the wrong country 🤷‍♂️

True, I guess there was more of an incentive to Microsoft accounts than just capes

Sony backs down, won’t enforce PSN accounts for Helldivers 2 PC players on Steam

What will Sony do next for an audience that likes its games but not its network?

@PatrickoftheG Helldivers 2 doesn't use a third-party launcher. The account linking was done through the in-game settings menu.
