Personally you need to decided what features are important to you. From my understanding anything connected to Meta requires logging into Facebook to use. For me that is a big no not to mention that I’m a linux user.

That reminds me of Oculess. I've never really looked too much into it but I wonder how well it works.

I don't know if that will be necessary if this is all the same network. I saw a couple posts mentioning VPNs and reverse proxies but they were all for accessing the network remotely.

Kind of similar but I thought VLANs might work as well but all I could really find online was people separating branches their network using them.

I appreciate the comment though.

When I run inxi -G I get the following output

It seems like I am using the laptops integrated graphics. I don't think it has any nvidia graphics.

Thanks for replying.

Most of the information I’m finding about this flavour of arch doesn’t reveal much about libreboot’s role in this issue. I’m not familiar with the device and online results are vague about what the specs are.

My main thought is If you’re using a Nvidia GPU or other proprietary software to run hardware, did you reinstall its software after changing the kernel? I’m not sure if your distro automatically does that for you.

I do not believe I reinstalled any Nvidia drivers but I am unsure. I do have the linux-firmware-nvidia package installed. I am just using the integrated graphics that are on the X200S. Maybe that's part of the issue considering it released around 2008?

Are you using shim for anything?

I’m wondering if something went funny with your mok enrolment or if it failed to use the key to sign the module? Could test by temporarily disabling secure boot. (But would continue to fail if not the problem; such as the modules are compiled against the wrong kernel)

If by shim you are referring to the EFI preloader I do not have it installed.

My other thought was that I’m under the impression that endeavourOS uses pinned versions and swapping out the kernel puts you in an undefined state.

You might have some luck jailing it on an working os with the configuration you desire and regenerating the boot files. Same idea as using the rescue environment on a livecd. The last time I had this idea it was a big waste of effort. When I realized I could just roll back using a backup.

I am not too sure about how to test this.

Edit: maybe the drive is dying try testing it?

I have my doubts that it is the drive considering it seems to work fine within initramfs. I can run my X200S for days without issues as long as I boot that way.

It kind of sounds like they're just trying to be GOG but maybe with some non-PC games.

I wonder if they're going to take a game, bundle it with an emulator, and make some kind of launchable shortcut.

I can't really see them dealing out source-port like games

The Powkiddy V90 is pretty good if you want a GBA SP form factor.

If they already have some kind of handheld it might easy to mod their device or get them a flashcart. Like the 3DS or DS for example.

Corroded @leminal.space 9mo ago

It may not be entirely what you are looking for but there are a lot of portable emulators out there like RG35XXSP for example that can do video out and allow you to pair multiple controllers.

You can set a lot of them to boot directly into a game and some even have kid modes where they can't alter the settings.

Outer Worlds. Not really a spoiler but it felt linear as hell up until the very end

What went wrong with Far Cry 6? I've heard it's pretty mid and I haven't heard much about it since which leads me to assume it's not even memorably bad or good

I was holding out hope until recently that things would be improved with updates kind of like No Man's Sky or through DLC like what Phantom Liberty did for Cyberpunk 2077.

I haven't read a lot of reviews because I like going into games blind but from what I've heard a lot of the issues really seem baked into the core of the game.

Corroded @leminal.space 9mo ago

If you count widespread 90s jokes as memes the lady who got burnt by McDonalds coffee was seriously injured and and a dingo really did eat that woman's baby.

Both are jokes in Seinfeld, S7 E2 and S10 E10 respectively. I feel like there's a couple other examples of event-specific jokes not aging well in hindsight but I can't remember them.

I think it has a bit to do with a lot of firmware or drivers being closed source too. I feel like a couple years ago I ran into that issue with camera my old Android phone had

Do you find you switch back and forth between games quite often?

Corroded @leminal.space 11mo ago

the screen hoopla shouldn’t have happened in the first place if they just ignore the 4:3 purists :P

What was the issue there?

Corroded @leminal.space 11mo ago

Mind doing a side shot? I'd be curious to see how thick they are compared to each other.

Also do the sticks and buttons touch the screen? I thought I heard that was an issue with some clamshell handhelds. Whoever the reviewer was I believe speculated it may ware down the screen protector.

Maybe the blog that is hosted on a Nintendo Wii. It's not the most practical hack but I find console modding really neat and the "because I can" style projects are particularly fascinating to me.

Some other favorite hacks are a bit more practical and have to do with extending the life of existing products. RebbleOS, for example, is an open source firmware that took off after Pebble shutdown following their acquisition by FitBit in 2016. It's allowed people to continue using their e-ink Pebble watches largely unchanged. They can still do things like fetch the weather and voice dictation.
