CachyOS has been a learning experience, getting VR to work, especially with VR mods for non-vr games, has been a lot of trial and error.
REPOXR requires some fiddling with WiVRn and R2MODMAN launch codes, but it's working!
Never be complacent, keep that head meat malleable. 🤯

So far CachyOS has been a lovely departure from Windows.
Still feel a bit "lost" having lost my primary, and then going into a new OS, but learning new things would be boring if they weren't scary.

Windows 11 update KB5029263 borked my Corsair MP600 1TB, the first Gen4 NVMe to market...ded Thanks, Microsoft.

I feel much safer now.

Not only can you swap DLSS versions around for better compatibility and performance from game-to-game, and not only can you also swap some DLSS games to FSR..
You can force games that only have FSR1 or 2 to use FSR3 or 4 by swapping it to DLSS first and then injecting an FSR mod.

Notice how often mobile games change their icons?
It's because all of our collective attention spans have been destroyed by a bombardment of stimuli, so much so that our dopamine receptors --and you've already scrolled away. 🤡

I think I figured it out:
DOOM 2016 was... Almost perfection.
It was lean, no frilly "story" and Doom Slayer was the punctuation of the entire experience:
Lore? Fuck your lore, no time!
Don't break the wut? *SMASH* fuck your toys!
Get me to the POINT and let me KILL!!
NEARLY PERFECT.

Win10 is going EOL and many computers CANNOT use Win11 due to TPM 2.0 mandate.
That's a lot of still very capable PCs that will go up for sale. Keep an eye out 👀

Hey @plex.tv ,
Why is streaming from ones own home server being paywalled when you it's the user's bandwidth being used?..
Doesn't make sense to paywall a feature that has been free, and mostly ignored by Plex, since it doesn't NEED to go through any of your networks.
