Went this route a few months ago. The switch was incredibly easy.

It depends on what daemons you have installed.

I found Linux Mint Cinnamon edition to be an incredibly easy transition. Just make sure you disable secure boot and use the drive format that the installer recommends.

Ublock also has an adblocker blocker

I know it’s a bit more niche here, so I try to chime in when I see airplane stuff. An account I had on a now-defunct instance had a bunch of airplane memes and comments.

Absolutely on the delamination. Paint on metal can go for a minute and be okay as long as there’s primer still protecting the metal; but on composite the flaking will just lead to more flaking. Plus, the water intrusion damage and wicking you can get with carbon fiber. Gotta check that stuff often.

Hi, aircraft mechanic here. I don’t have a lot of experience with the 787, but here’s what I know based on composites, working PAX service, and general airplane BS.
787’s are new-ish, but not THAT new. An airplane even a year old can start to show wear and tear depending on the carrier.
787’s have composite wings, which flex a LOT. Great for performance, no so great for rigid bits like paint.
Aircraft paint is typically a two-part mixture with an epoxy resin base. It’s pretty tough stuff designed to handle temperature changes, UV, abrasion, etc. That being said, paint mixed later in service for repairs might not quite match in color and texture. If the airline buys cheap paint to cut costs, well, it’s going to flake off quicker.
Typically, your brushed-on paint done during overnight maintenance isn’t going to last as long as the paint sprayed on in a clean, well prepared environment with even application. It’s likely you will have to repaint that area.
When I worked PAX, we took extra care to keep the top of the wing painted in good condition and avoid using speed tape to temporarily cover missing paint patches unless absolutely necessary. It’s well known this is a high visibility area for customers. From what I recall, the airline would respray entire areas of the aircraft as needed during heavy checks to keep the paint in good condition. Cargo service? Who cares! As long as it meets airworthiness requirements per the manufacturer, send it! Most of the time, the paint is such a poor match it sticks out like a sore thumb. I recall seeing a 747 freighter at one point that looked like it had a green, receding hairline from all the exposed primer it had running down the hump.

So, all things considered, yes, that paint job looks terrible. However, it’s not going to affect the performance of the aircraft. Any exposed composite is going to get covered or painted as soon as it’s spotted to help protect it and prevent further paint erosion. If anything, all those paint patches might cost the airline a few extra drops (and I do mean drops) of fuel by the end of the flight from parasitic drag.

I agree. The transition has been fairly smooth, and cinnamon edition looks great.

That was my first thought when I saw OPs screenshot. I still hear “check 6” in my head every time I get zoom and boomed in War Thunder

I recently did the same. Had an opportunity to buy a laptop at a good price, and I immediately swapped the m.2 drive with a blank for Linux Mint. There’s definitely been a learning curve and a lot of web searching for tweaks and fixes, but the overall user experience has been great. I’ll very likely be swapping to Linux on my desktop soon.

Unfortunately, it looks like gamescope just isn’t going to work for my system.

It didn’t seem to have an effect, unfortunately.

I’ll take a look into that. This laptop is using one of those hybrid Nvidia GPUs, so it took me a bit to work out the performance issues at first.

I’ll give that a shot tonight and let you know

It does not seem to work for me. After inputting

wmctrl -a helldivers -b toggle,fullscreen

I just get a quick black flicker and it goes back to minimized. I also tried changing the win argument to :SELECT: from the documentation you linked, but it still doesn’t pull up the window and keep it there.

The command does work for other windows, for clarification.

An extra detail: I’m using 2 monitors. When playing with borderless window and moving the mouse rapidly, I’ve had my mouse escape the focused window a few times and start clicking stuff on my desktop.

From what I’ve looked up, it does. However, at some point the ability to change border settings in Themes was removed.

I just gave that a shot. When I come back and re-fullscreen, the game minimizes and goes back to the problem state.

AI as a tool? Hell yeah.
AI to replace people? Fuck no.
