It’ll be compatible with 5 Gbps devices, but if you’re intentionally looking to restrict even 10 Gbps devices down to 5 Gbps for some reason, you might be able to find something in your BIOS that lets you do that, or you can get a USB 3.0 extension cable that’ll limit your speeds to 5 Gbps.
I moved to Pop!_OS entirely when I built my new system earlier this year (had already been using it on my non-gaming laptop for several years) and relegated Windows to an external SSD that has been essentially collecting dust — I think I’ve used it three or four times.
My experience isn’t the same as everyone’s, but I’m not in love with most multiplayer games, my work uses software that can be run within Wine/Bottles or a browser, and my preferred creative outlet is writing, which could also be done in a browser if I wasn’t such a picky bitch (I am, but Scrivener barely needs massaging to work under Wine and can even be made to look native thanks to using Qt).
Damn, this is a shame. Penny’s Big Breakaway has been the most fun I’ve had on a game for a while, but I kind of expected it wasn’t going to be a huge success for people who hadn’t been following the Evening Star team for years with a new and unproven IP and a rather unique gameplay style among platformers.
Chrono Trigger is still being sold actually, so probably not the best example. That said, I still have my original PS1 Chrono Trigger disc that I haven’t played on original hardware (or even my still-hooked-up PS3) for a while because I legally dumped it and play it with a much higher emulated disc read speed. As much as Nintendo has made explicit statements to the contrary, it is legal in most countries to back up your own games and do with them what you will.

Respectfully, this is unhelpful. This is talking about Unplugged, a completely different company, in reply to Phi.
Yup, addressed in my original reply.
You’ll have substantially better results from modern integrated graphics (even on the low-end Intel UHD side). This is genuinely the card you get if you just need the extra outputs and don’t care about performance, or you have a CPU lacking integrated graphics and don’t care about performance.
In other words, there are use cases for it, but I absolutely agree that a gaming card this is not and it has a very specific niche.
I would argue that NixOS absolutely is the OS you get if your time is worthless, but not every distro is the same. I’d argue that if you need something that doesn’t have so many issues a stabler or easier to use distro (Debian, Ubuntu, Pop!_OS, Linux Mint, and even Fedora or openSUSE) is going to be a better option than trying to bend specifically NixOS to do what you want.
I personally use a mix of Pop, Debian, and Fedora, not because they’re particularly powerful, but because they tend to be more straightforward for what I want to do than NixOS, Gentoo, or Arch. I don’t mind tinkering, but for my main machines I don’t want to tinker much.
Edit: I should clarify that there are plenty of reasonable uses of Windows and I don’t fault anyone for using it especially if their familiarity is keeping them from understanding Linux as well as they want to. But I also would make the case that there are a lot of distros out there.
I like this one, it’s pretty cute and has a neat gameplay concept involving “hacking” other robots to get to places you can’t get to with your regular ball form. It’s rather short; I have 45 minutes clocked in it on Steam and have gone through the whole game and gotten all its collectibles.
If you’re using Linux, use Proton 9.0 or Experimental; earlier versions will play the game without any audio.
You and I would have been enemies in the 16-bit era, but I adore the Sega Genesis. (However, I’m also a sleepy bisexual, so I’m gonna say we’re probably nowhere close to enemies.)
It was an arcade monster and got a ton of amazing games from the arcades and purpose-built for the machine — many the SNES also got, but some exclusives that really took advantage of what the Genesis could do well. I’d argue that the gritty FM sound chip was better for certain types of game music as well, though that’s not to say that the SNES wasn’t largely superior on that front.
At the end of the day… yeah 16 bit stuff looks amazing
The info from the Steam Hardware Survey is collected on an opt-in basis. I’m sure Valve has plenty of ways to get this information otherwise, but this specific data set requires acceptance of the terms of the survey.
Tetris Worlds on PC was one of my favorites — A surreal, story-based Tetris with interesting twists on the gameplay, and the first Guideline Tetris game, setting in stone what “official” Tetris would look and act like even now. (Some love that, some hate it, I’m nowhere near a high enough level player to care either way and just like a cool looking Tetris game.)
This, 100%. While GB Tetris and NES Tetris were some of the first games I remember playing, Tetris DS was one of the first Tetris games I loved. And you’ve absolutely got a point that the original DS does best; the mushy D-pad on the DS Lite just plays it so much worse in my experience. (I feel good about it on my New 2DS XL though other than the either very soft image or very small image I get from it though)
I think their joke was that Thinkpad Arch users (at least online) have a strong correlation with trans women
I’ve also had this issue with both of my SN30 Pro+ controllers but haven’t really found a reliable fix. Sometimes it works if I connect it undocked, and then plug the Deck into the dock, but that doesn’t always work. It’s a shame because it used to work great!
The kids are alright
