Ian from smosh has really rebranded.

  1. Buy Pixel 9a (great value among new, 120Hz smartphones)
  2. Activate, setup service
  3. Unlock bootloader
  4. Install grapheneos using their install guide
  5. Lock bootloader

Good budget(ish) switch to get a good phone, privacy, security, and AOSP experience.

My guess is a pre-built PC or AR device. Latter is more unlikely since it would substantially overlap with their Index market.

EDIT: A PC makes more sense given the strides they've made with Proton recently.

Another idea is a platform for in-place movement while using the index? Seems a little more out there given VR has fallen off the map a little recently.

This is obviously training material for going to the store.

It's about control, they don't want us deciding anything.

I don't have any Windows PCs anymore, and I'm not buying a $200 Windows Pro license just to buy a $70 game with questionable recent history.

Potential customer lost.

PS: I think the fact that they've made this decision also provides insight to the game itself.

Do you have steam overlay disabled? If so try the LD_PRELOAD workaround by entering:

LD_PRELOAD="" %command%

in the game's launch options.

This was supposed to be fixed by now but I still have the issue intermittently with some games. Usually they just start lagging, but rarely they will full crash.

Please update once you confirm it does or doesn't work.

EDIT: More about what this variable does, for the curious: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Steam/Troubleshooting

Maybe it's masochism, but I like Arch because it forces me to make mistakes and learn. No default DE, several network management choices, lots of configuration for non-defaults. These are all decisions I have to make, and if I try to cut corners I usually get punished for it.

However, I think the real reason I stick with arch is because this paradigm means that I always feel capable of fixing issues. As people solve the issues they face, forum posts and wiki articles (and sometimes big fixes) get pushed out, and knowledge is shared. That sense of community and building on something I feel like Arch promotes.

My optimistic side is imagining a truck filled with a small town's worth of nutrient-rich groceries, making one trip to replace dozens of individual trip to a less-than-convenient grocery store.

My pessimistic side is imagining a truck with one or two people's worth of shitty "American" groceries, making the same trip they would have made to a grocery store down the street.

I feel like the reality heavily leans to latter, but I only have anecdotal data to back that up.

What happened with just going to to grocery store?

Alright boys, whoever takes away the most rights gets the last one!
