Very nice, Lutris works great but Playnite's beautiful GUI is something I've been missing since I got rid of MS

either I hallucinated, misread something, or I got a kernel update in the past two or three days, as I just checked and I'm on 6.16.3, while I think last time I checked I wasn't. anyway, 6.16 is up-to-date enough for RX9000 cards according to the few forum posts I read. thanks for asking that!

I can't really tell, because your use-case is very different from mine and could change in the future. a 5600 gets you 250+ FPS at 1024*768 in CS2, and with it the bottleneck in other, more modern games, will be the GPU instead, so I think spending 20% more for a 5700X when the 5600 is more than enough for your monitor is a bit of wasted money... you could save that for a newer GPU once you find that yours isn't enough anymore.

just watch videos titled 5600 RX580 + name-of-the-game-you-play and then do the same with 5700X instead and see for yourself if it's worth the higjer price or not!

did you mean 5600F? (never mind, I read 5600i lol) for €11, get the X then because the F is a step below the 5600.

depending on how much you want to spend, and keeping in mind that the 5600 is more than enough to get to your maximum refresh rate, an then some, I'd get the 5600/5600X and save the money.

at your resolution (1024*768?) that video shows even higher FPS so I really don't see the need to go for a 5700X.

you're right that your current bottleneck is the CPU

I can also vouch for PoP_OS!, get the .iso with baked-in nVidia drivers and you will have no problems. The biggest issue I've had so far is that sometimes, after updating graphics drivers, FPS get stuck at like ~10 and I need to reboot. But happens rarely, and it takes ten seconds to fix

How much is the 5600 (non x)? because the FPS difference between the two is around 5-8%. I remember that when I went from a 2600x to a 5600 I got a nice fps boost at 1440p (don't remember how much but I feel like it was 10-15%, maybe more), granted with a better GPU and not in CS2, but you will see a difference.

According to this video

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=95JcvPyxPiQ

5600 + RX580 averages 200ish fps at 1080p low

also, doesn't hurt to test, but iirc my 2600x couldn't handle RAM any faster than 3100something, 3200 would crash as soon as I started a 3D application

I have 8TB Seagates Exos and they are quite noisy; mine sit in my desktop (don't have a dedicated NAS) which is sitting on a wooden desk, which ampifies the noise. if I suspend the desktop, the noise goes down considerably, but I still wouldn't call them quiet

Good to know, I guess I'll email them to make sure, thanks!

thanks, that could work! I missed that section, I went straight for the ready-to-use KB!

I worded it poorly, I meant they only have local stores in those locations. I'm wary of ordering from the USA at the moment because of the tariff war going on, wouldn't want to get caught with my pants down

Thanks, very pretty but they seem to serve only North America and a few SEA locations. Appreciated nonetheless!

I meant that I disliked the switches on the G815 (GL, clicky) that would register the input before I could feel and hear the click.

As I added at the end, I looked at many KB from Keychron but none of them seem to have backlight that shines through the keycap. I don't know how to explain, but if you look up any image of the G815 you see what I mean

Thanks for the reply. I see, if a game doesn't run without random crashes or bugs it will likely cost you the race when those happens... hopefully by the time I'm ready, the games are too!

I see, thanks! I'll have to keep that in mind when shopping for HW then. I'm lucky I'm not into VR, so that's one less issue for me

Sorry I'm here not to answer, but actually ask a question as I've recently-ish moved to Linux basically permanently and I plan on focusing a bit more on simracing in the future: what's the issue with Linux? Is it peripherals like steering wheel lacking drivers?

Same issue, I gave up. Must be some bug with my configuration since I can't find anything like it online. Oh well. Thanks though!

Aren't there ways to patch the whatever-it-is that is "required" by W11 that older PCs don't have so that you can bypass the check and have W11 on older machines? I feel like that's a better solution than paying for Microsoft's garbage, if one was bent on not moving to Linux

I fixed my issue by flashing the latest Beta BIOS for my motherboard. Took me almost a full day of troubleshooting and looking online and repeating the same steps over and over again, but then almost on a whim I decided on flashing the Beta BIOS (no mentions of virtualization in the changelog, so I didn't really have reaaons to) and now Android Studio finally simulates the Android device. Thanks for your help!

Oh, yeah, I got an error with the original command you wrote, so I ended up typing the correct one anyway, and that's what returned the message that I'm already part of that group.

So, just to make it clear, sudo adduser "
