    Oof. On the one hand, I’ve found games that I wouldn’t have bought that I really enjoyed. Like Avowed. I loved every second of it. Hi-fi Rush was like this for me too. I’ve barely heard any talk of both of these games.

    Plus tons of Indy titles I’d never heard of. Can’t tell you how much time I spent in Power Wash Simulator

    On the other hand…I hate buying games. It’s a big commitment when you don’t know if you’re going to like it. Most the time I end up not even playing half the game. So I end up going full PatientGamer, and wait for a good sale. (Still want to try Luigi’s Mansion some day…)

    And, I go months without playing my Xbox as it is. Right now I’m finding myself getting back into WoW (I haven’t really played since wotlk …it’s a whole different game now). Why should I keep game pass?

    GamePass is an awesome plan for people like me – casual gamers who don’t get a lot of replay value out of most games. Honestly I’d love to see similar or competing services.








  • I saw earlier you mentioned it’s an Optiplex, so I’m assuming this is an onboard NIC.

    I’ve never had an onboard NIC not work out-of-the-box in Linux. Wifi, sure, but usually just certain chipsets with proprietary/closed firmware. Dell usually uses Intel NICs and they’re usually pretty solid and well supported.

    Check to make sure that the NIC is enabled in BIOS.

    If you have/had Windows on this PC, did it work there?

    Does the NIC show in lspci or ip a ?

    Try an external USB NIC. Or an internal PCIe one if you’re comfortable with that.







  • If companies don’t push the envelope, nobody will mark it return to sender.

    So…what’ll probably happen:

    • Samsung does this. It is universally despised.
    • A year will go by, and Google will do this. It will be universally despised.
    • A year will go by, and Apple will do this. It will be loved by Apple users and despised by everyone else.
    • A year will go by and it’s a part of every Android phone on the market. Apple users will accuse Android of “stealing” the feature. Everyone else will despise it.
