GTA4 (with fusion fix) is a great example of this. Runs like dogshit on my system with Windows 11, runs butter smooth on the same hardware running Fedora 43.

My condolences

I finally committed to the switch last weekend. My desktop PC was the last holdout still on Windows in my fleet, because of Adobe Lightroom. I decided to just force myself to learn Darktable, and nuked the Win 11 install and replaced it with Fedora 43.

Fun side note, some of my games run way better than they did on Windows, despite not having native Linux builds. lol.

x64-compatible CPUs have been the norm for a very long time now, which is why most modern distros have dropped support for older 32-bit x86-only CPUs. Debian dropped it with Debian 13, so anything based on that - think Ubuntu, Mint, and others, would be in the same boat. 2GB of RAM would be pretty performance-limiting on most modern distros too.

That's one of the reasons why things like Tiny Core and Puppy exist, though. Specifically for old/slow-by-today's-standards systems. I haven't used any of them because I'm not running anything that old, and I quite like modern KDE. I saw an Action Retro video on youtube the other day where he got Tiny Core running on a Pentium 133 with 128MB of RAM, lol.

2004 has my vote. It was a golden age for PC gaming.

Yeah, it's their EV crossover that's actually made by GM.

Not a good look.

Hi, I'm running Linux Mint 21.3 with kernel 6.5.0-21 on a Lenovo Thinkpad T14 gen 2 with an AMD Ryzen 7 CPU, and most relevant to my question, an Intel AX210 WiFi controller.

It connects just fine to 2.4GHz and 5GHz networks, but about 90% of the time it cannot see my 6GHz network, which is operating on a separate SSID. Sometimes it apparently randomly will see the 6GHz network, and it will connect and work fine until the next time the computer goes to sleep, after which it will only see 2.4/5GHz networks again.

I've been messing around trying to troubleshoot it, which led me to installing wavemon, and I discovered that if I run wavemon with elevated permissions and make it scan for networks it will see the 6GHz network, and when that happens it immediately becomes available to choose through Cinnamon's GUI, and it will work fine again until the next time the computer sleeps. If I run wavemon again after waking from sleep and make it scan for networks, 6GHz functionality will work again.

Anyone know what's going on here? I should add that I am in the US where the 6GHz band is legal and should be enabled in the Intel iwlwifi driver. It's almost like something needs to happen to trigger the 6GHz radio into waking up or something.
