I advocate for logical and consistent viewpoints on controversial topics. If you’re looking at my profile, I’ve probably made you mad by doing so.
Well, if you’re looking for an actual answer… I couldn’t get audio working on Linux on my laptop. I had to switch back in order to watch movies.
I don’t play multiplayer games anymore.
First off, they always seem to enable the worst of game companies trying to financially ruin their players.
Second off, I’m in my 40s and my reaction time isn’t what it was when I used to play UT or Quake. You can’t improve an aged reaction time nearly as easily, yes, because it’s gotten slightly worse with age, but also because you become less willing and / or able to dedicate the sheer volume of time that you would need to to improve. Getting repeatedly stomped isn’t fun, and quite simply, I’ve got better and more important things to do.
Third off, I don’t like the constant recycling of content that you see in multiplayer games. A handful of maps are expected to last you infinite plays. I like changes of scenery, storylines, and varied experiences. Doing the same thing over and over again is just boring.
Fourth off, player communities in some games are aggressively dogshit and I really don’t want to interact with them at all.
Heh, it’s probably on me. I was just test driving it. I have no doubt I could have figured it out if I had spent more time.
It was just the HDMI audio from a standard Intel 14th gen processor. Didn’t feel it was anything too out of the ordinary, but have tried about 6 releases over 3 distros and not a one has worked.
