  • I got a tower stand, the bottom of the tower had completely filled with dust and there was no airflow from there, the wheels are also very convenient for cleaning under there.

    I also cleaned the dust inside and re-applied new thermal paste, neither of which I had done for quite a while, and it already improved my temps by a lot, about 20 celsius cooler max for both the cpu and gpu.

    Here are the temps after a gaming session:
















  • Depends what your threat model is, if you absolutely want no data about you whatsoever possibly leaving the device because it endangers you then Tails OS is probably the most private distro out there as others have mentioned, but it’s use case is specifically to be used for very private stuff and working through a live USB stick so that nothing remains on the device.

    For the average person any distro is a huge improvement privacy wise over Windows, though Ubuntu does have ties to Amazon since it’s owned by Canonical, so if there’s any Linux distro you should avoid for privacy reasons it’s Ubuntu. It’s still incomparably private relative to Windows, but you have nothing to lose and a lot to gain by choosing other alternatives, Mint is just as easy and user friendly as Ubuntu without most of the bloat and Amazon crap.


  • GTA was never an RPG, it’s an action game with shooting and driving things.

    It really can’t be compared to Cyberpunk which is really focused in the RPG elements, making choices in every single sidequest out there, making your own character build with skill trees, items, body mods etc.

    They’re completely different genres, which is also why so many people got infuriated when Cyberpunk came out because it was not the Next GTA™ game they were expecting, even though Cyberpunk never really marketed to be like that.
