  • I have a spare nvme SSD and recently took a weekend to play with various Linux desktop distributions. EndeavorOS and Pop! OS were my favorite. But I have an RTX 3080 and can’t afford to replace it with an AMD GPU. It didn’t work well enough with my games. I’m really attached to HDR which seems to be coming but is not generally available for most games yet. I feel like the writing is on the wall and Windows will not be a suitable option for me in the near future, but right now I have the least issues with Windows 11.

    I use Linux all the time for hosting various services at work, but never with a GUI.




  • I’m nearing the end of act III with a couple of friends and I’m having a great time. I’m very likely to have a 2nd and maybe 3rd playthrough coming up. I love the game as it is, but I do have a few complaints.

    My biggest complaint is that we can’t just let a more appropriate character take over a conversation. One of my clumsy, dim-witted brawler friends runs ahead by one pixel triggering a cutscene, and I can’t jump in mid-conversation to smooth things over with my bardic talent. This is our most common reason for loading a previous save.

    Second biggest complaint is the number of things that you can mis-click to destroy your character’s reputation. I’d love to be able to opt-in to an “are you sure” dialog when you accidentally click a random item on the floor while moving around. This is our second most common reason for loading a previous save.

    Absolutely loving the game despite some very confusing storyline elements that must have relied on earlier foundational elements that we missed.
