The issue I had with my previous Lenovo Thinkpad wasn’t that it wasn’t repairable when it broke, it was. The issue was that the cost of just replacing the keyboard was prohibitively high. Higher than the cost of a new laptop. So it became e-waste.

I had a 1060 for a good few years that I used primarily with Arch and never really had an issue. At the time it didn’t play nicely with Wayland, so I was still using Xorg instead, but I think that’s a solved issue by now. Nvidia just doesn’t support newer features as readily as AMD does it seems. It really should have no bearing on your ability to play games.

I wrote something similar about returning to traditional music formats on my own blog https://audiovalentine.com/2025/01/death-to-spotify-a-survey-of-alternatives/

Not Hunter Schafer. I’m out.

No love for GNOME these days smh

I’m really keen on one of these displays eventually, as I can set aside the issues with refresh rate and colour accuracy, but the price needs to drop way down. It needs to be competitive with regular LCD monitors.

I look at terminals all day for work, this would make it so much more comfortable.

I finally switched when I moved from Arch to Fedora and it’s worked fantastically for me. This is where the Linux desktop is heading now for sure.

People Make Games did a much better job on reporting the issues with Roblox.

I think the real issue is how Roblox takes advantage of kids lack of knowledge about microtransactions and FOMO to create a generation of free-to-play dupes while also exploiting anyone that makes content for them, but that’s just my opinion.

I’ve got the exact same problem lol

I think they’re okay. I like their video content.

Gallifrey Base, sometimes 😌🤓

really looks like more of a squircle

America is so cooked lol

Definitely does a lot more than the Vision Pro does though, waaay more useful.

I think you can order prescription lenses with it. Maybe with the halo strap it might accommodate glasses nicely.

Needed to ditch the original strap and put the Bobo M3 strap on it, but once that was done it was the first time I was able to use VR with no weight on my cheekbones. Wildly changed how I felt about it as it was suddenly so comfortable I could use it for hours without discomfort.

I personally feel like the Quest 3 is the most comfortable headset I’ve ever owned (previously owned the CV1 and the Quest 1) and that for me trumps all of its issues with the lens/display setup.

I am desperate for Valve to succeed and really shake up the market but I think they’ll continue to make headsets that cost over $1K and just aren’t palatable to a wider audience. Hopefully Deckard is at the very least good enough to justify that price. I certainly have more faith in them after loving the Steam Deck.

I posted the article mostly for discussion, I personally have had a great time play AC: Nexus VR lately. But it does feel like the market is in a bit of a weird place right now as Meta/Apple are both pushing AR and non-gaming use cases, when the only thing these headsets have really been shown to be superior at is playing games.
