Unfortunately they also soldered half the RAM to the motherboard, meaning you can only upgrade half. My favorite feature is that the chassis screws are made of microwaved butter, so one of them has stripped. I upgraded the RAM to 24GB yesterday, and had to open the back at a slight angle and squeeze in there... couldn't disconnect the battery or anything. At least I can load up more KSP mods now!

Interesting that your Asus device has audio issues. my laptop is the Zephyrus G15 I think? (I know it's GA503QR) and audio is fine out of the box. definitely a great space heater too though, the power supply is 200 W, and I usually run Cyberpunk at reduced graphics settings to cut down on heat and fan noise. It will legit heat up a small room

Performance wise, I actually did a benchmark in Cyberpunk 2077 on Windows vs. Bazzite on my laptop (Nvidia graphics card) and came out a bit ahead with Bazzite for most settings. Windows framerates were all over the place.

It may not be windows, but I'm still very happy with it overall. I'm willing to turn off my laptop completely to save battery because of broken sleep, and the nice thing is it boots faster than Windows for me!

My annoyance has been RAM - Bazzite is configured to use zram for swap, meaning it compresses part of your RAM to save space. That's great since it's a lot faster than swap to disk, but I've been running out of memory with Kerbal Space Program and my many mods. I've got 16 GB of memory installed, but without a swap partition/file it just kills the game when it uses too much.

I am ordering a larger stick, but I would personally prefer a slowdown (from getting stuff from disk) to a crash.

That's absurd! They'll never know that I-

Here in the US, the second amendment means that paint is readily available at a hardware store. Most big ones have a dedicated counter with a specialist to mix the paint to your exact order! You don't even need ID!

Yes

Sarcastic Yes

No (Yes, we're doing the thing anyway).

fixed that for you for the ultimate zero-choice RPG. make sure your players never miss a thing by forcing them through all of it!

I'm sure there's power saving Bluetooth weirdness. I was on Ubuntu, and my laptop would boot half the time with no BT card recognized. I had to hold down the power button for 15 sec or something to reset it. Since switching to Bazzite I haven't had as many issues. Maybe it just comes with the driver or something? I don't know, since I don't care that much until it breaks...

Is that an americanism? I always found it silly in the age of digital type but there are still people who insist two spaces is correct and you can't do it any other way.

I had assumed it was some typewriter related thing, that with the fixed width space the typewriter can do it looks better with two spaces or something?

Is this not a thing outside of the US, and everyone has always used one space? How did the two spaces start???

Yep. My pan gets hand washing with a few drops of soap after every use and it's fine.

Lye, or sodium hydroxide, strips the seasoning layers. It used to be used in soap. People use it when restoring cast iron in the modern day to strip old seasoning off. Then they can start againt and re-seaaon!
