It was something else.

It was pipewire and I tested it thoroughly. It was putting a single core to 70-100% during audio playback that required upscaling.

Just say you had problems.

No. I described exactly the problem I encountered and will describe it how I want.

Well having my cpu maxed out by this simple change was my experience and that’s with a 7800x3d.

It was the last straw and forced me back to Windows for over a year. Changing this setting should not be so annoying and definitely shouldn’t be hammering a cpu so badly but that’s my experience.

I could not care less about the reasons behind any of it. I have a good sound card and want to be able to set the playback quality easily and without things breaking.

That’s it. I don’t want to learn about PCM mixing sound channels or upsampling or latency. I want it to fucking work.

I will stand by my statement that Linux is awful for audiophiles, Mac beats it all day every day because it actually works without having to open a terminal.

For example changing playback quality from 48kbps to 96kbps.

Worse is that setting this then results in automatic upscaling on everything which will have your CPU maxed out.

Linux in general is awful for audiophiles.

I think their tone is perfect, far too many leap to claim you can use LM or other distros without ever needing the terminal and in my experience it’s 100% a lie.

follow a tutorial and it means copy pasting some lines. Only one time. That shouldn’t count as “using the shell”

That is absolutely using the shell as it comes with all the risks of doing exactly what you described.

Something as simple as changing audio quality playback requires the terminal in Mint, it’s a whole 5 clicks in Windows and even easier on Mac.

Linux Mint has a generally good user experience but it is still flawed. When something is available in the UI it’s pretty easy but there are myriad settings for general use that simply have zero UI.

The answer from developers is basically always the same… open terminal.

Even the official documentation is often outdated.

I’ve seen them reference UI elements that were removed over a year ago on freshly published articles.

But also I love the M$ forums and the constant stream of unrelated replies with begging for people to cave and flag their posts as a solution.

Just set aside 26 hours a day for Morrowind and you’ll be fine.

Their boos mean nothing, I’ve seen what makes them cheer

Lol stay poor bozo

Wrong, lazy and spouting nonsense, classic anarchist behaviour.

Be my guest and go through my post history to find a single positive comment about Musk.

I’d say it would waste your time but as an anarchist wasting time is about the only thing you’re capable of.

No thanks, people who contribute more to society should be recognised for their efforts.

I’m all for improving the recognition and reward of teachers, nurses, paramedics and other essential services that are typically not as well respected or remunerated.

The US is still sending weapons. Check that reality.

Of course Ukraine doesn’t have infinite resources but they are spending theirs much more wisely.

Russia is already a pathetic shadow of its former self and its only downhill from here. Broke bitches thinking they’ll own Europe hah.

They don’t need to push Russia out so long as Russia is losing far more men and equipment. This is a war of attrition and despite being far larger Russia is losing.

Fighting age men and equipment are finite resources.

They might gain ground now but Russia will be unable to hold it, assuming that the EU and US continue to back Ukraine.

You talking about this?

You see the difference between the South and the North here is that he was sent to court, where he successfully defended himself (or his lawyer did) and not a gulag.

Did someone edit his face or was it really that small?

Many people have killed their PC with those compressed air cans lol

What’s with the slop racoon?

Garbage article, yes international sanctions can be enforced in international waters.

If Russia had a strong fleet like a real superpower no one would be able to seize Russian assets in international waters.

It’s shocking that Russia can’t even construct a better narrative than “but muuum he did he it too”.

Home insurance companies hate this one weird trick.
