So it's not a turn based RPG anymore?

With a second submarine, you could potentially have even more casualties. Luckily there's already an unmanned sub in the area.

A reason I might buy a console used is because certain titles, like Nier Automata, were poorly ported to PC. I love that game, but the Steam version crashed a lot for me.

As of Linux kernel 6.2, any distro should theoretically be able to support M1 and M2. The problem is, most distros will probably have a slightly older kernel upon initial install. I'm personally going to wait for an Arch-based distribution that supports Mac.

I would avoid that nVidia open source driver anyway. Sadly the proprietary one has been better in my experience.

I still have the trilogy collection on PS3. I wonder if the new version will have improved textures or anything like that.

Honestly, I'd be happy in a world without visible "Like" and "Dislike" counts. People with differing opinions always end up being punished by the current systems, encouraging group-think.

Intel Inside?

That's good to hear. For the longest time I suspected my Ryzen 3 CPU was causing the freezes. But no, it was the Radeon's dynamic power management that I had to disable with GRUB to fix it.

When I recently did a fresh Manjaro install, it offered to load the Live CD with proprietary drivers. When I installed that way, nVidia proprietary was pre-installed. I guess they're learning from PopOS.

My Radeon 290X gave me a lot of Linux problems before it died. Like freezing a while after resuming from sleep. Hate to admit the GTX 1660 Ti hasn't given me any problems on Linux.

Depending on the board, for example, if I said I like using an Apple computer, I would get downvoted to oblivion by zealots. I mean, just because people don't like my preference doesn't mean what I said is invalid. Also, I use Mac, Windows & Linux depending on the task. Fanboys can't understand that.

I used to have a lot of problems like this before replacing my AMD Radeon 290X with an nVidia GTX 1660 Ti & using proprietary nVidia drivers.

Without that fan patch, I wasn't able to play at all. But further into the game, it started crashing every 10 - 20 minutes. Think the particular Radeon card I had at the time was poor compatibility. nVidia users might have had more luck.

Yeah, I heard it fixed most of the issues. Haven't tried it yet. I have since switched from an AMD to nVidia card so maybe it works now.

Hmm. Maybe it's all a coincidence. When one of my CPU cores was stuck at 100%, I opened htop and configured it to show kernel threads too. I spotted MariaDB running in the background. I thought "I don't remember installing MariaDB". Went to uninstall it with pacman, which said it's a dependency of Akonadi. After googling, I turned off Search Indexing and CPU usage dropped to zero. I'll keep an eye on it to see if the problem comes back.
