I'll wait. Experience shows that the next dick move will come soon after.

I have no problem at this point to wait another two or three years.

I liked GTA V, but after finishing it I drove around for a few hours and the never touched it again. I'm not really sure why.

I still go back to Vice City and San Andreas, somehow these worlds are just more fun. But like I said, I'm not sure why...

The graphics in 5 are great, the sound is great, but something is missing...

They so desperately try to turn back time...

My plan was to buy it on release, but the moment I read they would release clans as DLC the game was dead to me.

I'll check back in a year or two. Maybe then when everything is in one package.

Forgive me, I must have missed the last paragraph. Yes, it's running standard Android. But since there is almost no bloatware it might be worth looking into.

I got the Lenovo Tab M10 Plus 3rd Gen three or so years ago for watching movies when away. There was almost no crap pre installed, and what remained I could uninstall.

Av1 and vp9 usually works, there is the occasional file that acts weird. Hevc, whatever the bit depth, resolution or encoding method works flawlessly.

It has a Qualcomm SDM680 processor, it's also available with a less powerful one, but the one I mentioned has definitely enough power to play 4k 10bit TrueHD whatever.

That's all beyond my abilities :)

My main problem was just a printer. I did find a driver for Mint, and it worked flawlessly for a few days. And suddenly it stoped printing again. I tried to configure the driver, I uninstalled and reinstalled, it just does not work anymore. Getting help is difficult online because everyone seems to think much knowledge is a given, and the hints got more and more complicated until I just had no idea what I was doing. Reading up on the commands used got more and more overwhelming and intimidating, so I, at some point, just gave up. Same with gaming, if a game runs it's absolutely fine, but when it does not it's tough to find easy to understand documentation how to fix it.

I won't give up, but I reinstalled Windows 11 on my main PC again. Mint runs on my laptop that I use occasionally. Linux has come a long way, and it's amazing how the usability improved over the years, but, at least for me, it's not quite there yet. But until Windows 12 comes out I'm pretty sure it will improve much further, until then Win11 has to do. My first step is taken.

Thank god I'm not the only one. I was convinced it was me! i used Mint for two months, and when everything works it's good, but the second you encounter a problem it becomes a nightmare.

I remember that the camera was nonstop shaking. That in addition to the extremely fast cuts left me sitting in the theatre with no clue what was going on. Never bothered to rewatch it again.

Since I haven't watched TV for years and used an adblocker for so long I actually enjoy normal commercials before a movie out of curiousity. And they are usually hilariously bad. But it's interesting to see what I am "missing" this whole time.

And it helps my small local cinema get additional money which I'm fine with. It's a nice cinema.
