  • One thing worth looking into is if your thermal paste needs replacing.

    I see you’ve got an 8145U, that’s old enough that it might need re-pasting. Laptops generally have terrible thermals to start with, so if the paste goes bad you’ll often see them start to thermally throttle on fairly light workloads (like Deltarune).

    Another thing worth considering would be to turn on thermald to better control your temps.



  • See, I think this is the inevitable and indeed, intended outcome of the current administration. Corporate elites find capturing and corrupting state and local governments to be far cheaper, so their goal is to break up the US federal system into smaller parts and then go around buying entire towns/cities/states until eventually we have an official aristocratic dictatorship.

    The biggest issue with the scenario even as you describe it is the extremely high likelihood of war between various states over things like aid, trade disputes, and sheer resource wars as e.g. Colorado runs out of water and Oklahoma continues to have no money and becomes desperate at the loss of federal funds.










  • Ext4 is gonna be the fastest for general daily use. The extra utility of copy on write filesystems is stuff like efficient snapshot backups, optional compression at rest for your files, and really really fast copy operations.

    AMD’s drivers are fully FOSS and built into Mesa, whereas Nvidia’s are closed source, so yes, AMD GPUs are more reliable and less of a hassle on Linux. However, Mint makes dealing with Nvidia drivers easy, so it’s honestly your call there.
