The thing is, the Zen 5 CPUs are actually cheaper in Germany than the Zen 4 X3D CPUs but if the performance of Zen 4 X3D is still better, I’m getting that, thanks

I just wrote a reply to this post as well, where I wrote that I’m going to upgrade my CPU soon but I’m probably going to get a Zen 4 X3D because they’re faster than a Zen 5 CPU but based on what you wrote, should I change my decision? They’re a good bit cheaper and without that Windows bug (I use Linux anyway) and if I overclock it to the TDP of the Zen 4 X3Ds, might they be faster after all? I saw something about that Windows bug and that they run at a lower TDP out of the box but I didn’t find anything about how they run now and if you can overclock them since there’s more headroom.

Edit: Also to just give a little context, I’m currently running a Ryzen 5 3600 with 16 gigs of DDR4 RAM but since I need to get a new mainboard and RAM anyway, I’m upgrading to 32 gigs of DDR5 RAM

I’m currently in the market for a new CPU for my PC, so I did my research and I’m not going to buy a Zen 5 CPU either. The reason is simple: The Zen 4 X3D CPUs are faster. Because of that, everyone who wants a new CPU now is getting the Zen 4 X3Ds and everyone who can wait, is waiting for the Zen 5 X3Ds. There’s no point in getting the Zen 5 CPUs that are currently out.

Edit: Actually, after reading the top reply, I’m not sure anymore if the Zen 5s aren’t the better choice after all

Can’t you download FTB modpacks through Prism too?

There’s @loops@pixelfed.social, which is getting a beta release soon

That would be nice but I’m gonna try if I can get it working by myself first. Haven’t tried it in quite a while, so maybe it works now for some reason.

I use an xbox one controller too and it just worked out of the box on Arch and Fedora

Maybe they don’t have it in Germany anymore but they do in the US. Or they added it since last time I searched for it on Netflix. I don’t have Netflix, so it’s been a while.

If you buy a used one, you can probably get it a good but cheaper as well

I think there’s also similar devices to a Raspberry Pi that are cheaper

The comment section was actually the one thing I missed when switching to a Jellyfin setup

Netflix had Attack on Titan and Death Note at one point (first time I watched both was on Netflix) but now they only have the awful Death Note movie, which I hate with a passion

I also have a fingerprint reader in the screen but I feel like the one on the back of my Redmi 5 Plus was more reliable. It’s not a dealbreaker tho.

You can already charge wirelessly. As for the speakers, Samsung has an OLED TV that vibrates the glass of the screen to produce sound, maybe something similar would be possible on a phone too. Don’t know if something similar would be possible for the mic.

Don’t get me wrong, I wouldn’t want a phone like that but it would be cool to see if it’s possible.

I really hope another headset from Valve is coming, specifically because of eye tracking. The oculus app is only needed if you’re not using ALVR. It’s also not available on Linux, which is why ALVR is the only option there.

It’s a shame DRM leasing doesn’t work for flatpak but maybe it will in the future. I tried the AppImage but it’s the same issue, I can’t build a profile because the dependencies are missing.

I have, actually and it’s great. I only used it for things like racing games (I also have a USB steering wheel with force feedback) because it doesn’t show you the borders of your play space (yet). The thing is just that I installed Envision from the AUR back then and it just worked and now that I’m on Fedora, I used distrobox to install it from the AUR again. When I try to build a profile tho, it tells me that dependencies are missing that simply aren’t in the package manager or the AUR. That’s why I currently don’t have Monado working. I’d really like to get it working again tho. Wish it just had a Flatpak.

I understand having to fiddle with the compression settings can be annoying (I did that for my brother who has a Quest 2) but it’s also something you only have to do once. And you can do a lot of trial and error without knowing exactly what the settings do. Quest 2 is probably best bang for your buck but you can get a used HTC Vive for around the same price. Advantage of the HTC Vive is that it just works with Linux and you don’t need a Facebook account but disadvantage is that it’s not that good. I had one too before I bought the Vive. While the resolution was pretty low, it was fine but the controllers really suck.

What’s looking good cooking 😏

You can disable COW for specific files btw
