Yes, I also agree that it is a bit more than I would want to pay for Fallout 4 especially since I have it already but with all the updates and Bugthesta breaking the game constantly it is just easier to have a DRM free option. It uses the 163 version which is pre-fuckup update version. Or so I was told. So it should work well with many of the older games. If you wait you likely will have to wait 3 to 8 more years before it gets that low. Its a valid choice to wait. If that is truely what you want. HOwever, there are many other games there to check on. Some very old part of their GOG games where they updated it for newer operating systems etc so that you can still enjoy it. Other older Fallout games that are well below 10 dollars as well.

I put this here even though it is hardware due to the fact this is mainly showcasing Linux distro Catchy. You can ignore this aspect and use the information to build your own computer just put on Windows 11 if that is your desire. I did try catchy and it was fast. Disclosure, I didn't do much in the way of gaming to test it out but I did play around with the setup and making sure the gaming tools were installed and it was extremely easy to set up the base sytem. They have some tools that you can click on to install all the basic components for gaming in one click. NO need to know proton this and Lutris that or the like is very nice. HOwever, it is a Arch Linux and does rolling updates which can cause trouble and require some tweaking and owrk to keep it going. You can get around this by having a solid backup of your OS and just roll back when you have a problem then update later as it works. I still believe Bazzite due to it being immutable OS (meaning to those that don't know you can't harm the OS) makes it more solid for those that either don't want to mess with linux systems etc. and just want to run a gaming system or those that don't know how to do these things and want to use a non Windows system to run their games. Bazzites only draw back for either of the above is you have to wait for a update to fix any issues when an update breaks something. The great thing is a quick easy command you can revert to an older "image" and get back up and running. YOu can also use a second easy command to "Pin" a favorite version to keep it running well. If you want to have a bit more control This you can learn in about 10 minutes. Hell I don't know much but I can easily copy paste the basics that will let you control the versions of the OS, pin, clear pins and revert in a single post here. lol. When you decide to retire that gaming system and use it for basic computing again, you can "rebase" to another immutable os like Silverblue with a command. LOL. Remove all the stuff that made this a gaming computer without having to use a usb drive and go thorugh the installation process for another OS. The same pin process, commandds etc still work on this version as well

consider the game isn't DRM and you can roll back easily. Install it without having to use any service. That is worth a few dollars IMO. Also, disclaimer, I have about 20 games that I picked up from Luna (Amazon) for FREE. So with all these nice GOG games, a couple of dollars for a game to complete my set and have it free and support a company that is allowing you to download the game. menang actually OWN the game, It is something worthwile in my opinion. Luna has Fallout games (older ones) for free or at least had them free previously. I forget which one is free now but still good. Finally, with Bugthesda constantly ing on their game by making major problems with their "updates" making mods not work and even the game itself not work properly (screwing up something as simple as saves) it is a great peace of minde to have this. I might pick it up to have have collection over on GOG now.

Hello, GOG has a New Year's sale going on! The place without DRM and other . Get your game you have been waiting for. They even have Fallout 4 on sale! Oblivion, check.

GOG was sold? Nice that they will support Linux. Lets hope they do something like Steam or help support the convesion of these games to Linux

IT has been awhile on my daily driver and I decided to swap it out with a slightly more powerful option I had laying around. Unlike Windoze it only took a couple of minutes. I seriously doubt it took more than 20 minutes to both install, update, install my prefrerred programs and configure everyting including all my book marks and such. It can take 20 minutes, if you are lucky, to just install windoze 11. Not to mention the hours of updates and other pain in the ass steps you have to do to get a running functional OS to start work. This current one has Linux Minit. Quickest and easiest to load. The old one which is being replaced will have Fedora Silverblue (immutable OS) for me to play with. I need to learn some network configuration encripting DNS and VPN configuraton which I have a bit of experience with but this will be through command line and config files. More work but I am starting to understand some of this.

Wow, time has changed. the graphics cards they have now, their cost and availablity. Big changes in close to 10 years. It seems like it was yesterday.

oH, I got my hands on a nice little dell laptop recently. It had Windows 10 on it. It was older hardware but ran nice. It is so different from Windows 11. I had forgotten how nice Windoze 10 was compared to Wndoze 11. It was a breeze compared to my Windoze 11 gaming system. (note, I went in and turned off updates for the next 5 weeks. Because they can't even keep their updates working right)

Oh while on the subject of memory https://www.ibuypower.com/blog/general/ddr6-ram-next-gen-memory

I have seen many older hardware on the various sites. However, that is ddr3 or ddr4 not ddr5. I believe looking at some of the laptops that he was unloading they are possibly ddr5 computers. That combined with the statement that he wanted to give people computers that they can use 5 or more years would IMO be more modern. With the release of DDR 5 It is likely those computers that just was released from lease and business upgrades. I personally tend to stick with the DDr4 type computers. New enough to be good if it was a powerful computer to begin with and old enough that it should be very cheap and still give me some use. Before DDR5 went crazy I did pick up some hardware that was much newer as it was a great price. But now, it is almost impossible.

Yes, this is true. However, they claim that they have limited success currently. It also won't be a Flatpak for those that prefer the clean option for software use. AT least I can't see it being able to do that as it requires too much low level access. Snap maybe, not Flatpak Regardless, it is a good solution for those non GPU programs that people need that might be holding them back from converting. Office, for example. Sure, there is some success with Wine and other options, but this is much more solid and reliable as it uses the actual windows programming. DLL etc. There is one more issues that you didn't mention, but I want to point out. It is WINDOWS in Linux. This can mean that there is a very real possibility of security issues. Not as serious as a traditional Windows install, but still those components can allow access. That combined with access to your files etc. can be a security issue IMO. Another issue is man-hours are being taken away from developing the programs that translate the Windows in real time. Tools like Proton and Wine to wedge a full Windows OS into Linux. This option bloats your install, where translation programs are more effective and provide less bloat. (not to mention more secure) Still it is an interesting option. A option I believe people did years ago by taking various components of Windows in an attempt to make it more compatible. Before Wine and other tools were developed to replace those DLLs etc.

hey, make all the data centers you want. So long as you also create the power plants to power them. Build them bigger than you need so you can have coverage to expand. You can then sell the excess off at market rates for what you don't use.

funny, the playback and access to the above video is a problem. Will try later. . Youtube was being an ass

I haven't done this yet but his other videos are pretty solid.

Interesting. Normally, I like Debian as it is more stable and has more easily available support. What most people would atomically give you in commands. Arch isn't as common commands found when looking for general support. I would advise a Debian based Linux to start however, once you are more comfortable with Linux and willing to and know how to find more support and importantly understand if you are looking at a Debian command vs, Fedora vs Arch in general and you want more bleeding edge and "rolling updates" and most of all more control, this might be something you would want to look at.

The sad thing is people that voted for the blue politics are now complaining AND MOVING to red states while still hating Trump and the Republicans. Not able to recognize that the republican policies are making the red state and red areas better. They should be banned from moving from the craptastic areas that they helped create unless they can publically announce that the republicans policies are better. That and convert to Republican Party. Denounce the Democratic Party and their failing policies. People in red states and areas don't need you to come here and pervert and destroy what has been developed there. You haven't learned your lessons yet.
