  • For me it’s hdmi 2.1 on AMD. Starting to really hate my decision of buying a TV as a gaming display, purely because of how much windows sucks. Just booted it up to see if my samba server was working, only to find it has no internet connection whatsoever. Wifi also connects but no internet access, but i know for a fact it’s working because both on linux and my phone it’s working fine. Already tried a bunch of troubleshooting, including resetting the adapters competely. I’m starting to suspect the mullvad vpn app somehow fucked something up, because i’m not connected to their servers right now because i haven’t added more time to my account. Internet should work if i disable the vpn app though, so idk what’s wrong there.


  • This post made me realize that i guess i"m not that picky when it comes to controllers. I’ve mostly used playstation controllers all my life because i’ve been a console gamer since i was a kid, even now with a gaming pc i still have a ps5 as well. Playstation controllers have always been fine to me. Also have a switch pro controller for my switch which is fine as well. When i go back to ps4 or 3 controllers i do notice that the dualsense is the most comfortable in comparison, but after using an old dualshock for a while i can easily get used to it again.

    Also, i might just be very lucky, but i’ve never experienced stickdrift on any of the controllers i’ve owned. The only wear and tear issues i’ve ever had was the rubber from the joysticks on my ds2 being completely degraded, which makes sense after all those years, and my ds4 had the button on the inside of the trigger break down. Ended up replacing that and it worked again. I should probably get some new rubber sticks from aliexpress for my ds2 as well. Would be nice to restore it since it’s the only legit ds2 i have, and it still worked fine from what i remember.




  • Yeah, i had the same issue when i decided to buy a LG OLED C5 as my monitor a few months ago. The silly thing is i had already heard about this being a problem before buying it but forgot about it. I ended up swapping my dualboot around and give windows the bigger SSD for all my games, since i really didn’t want to live without high refresh and vrr. I also didn’t want to return the tv because it was a better deal than any monitor at that size, plus it has more features. Pretty much had to give up linux gaming though ;(. I did a lot of research into adapters but all of them are finicky at best and still miss some features like vrr, so it is what it is.
