:linux: Czytam o dystrybucji dla graczy #Nobara 🕹️

Jeszcze niedawno granie na #linux to był TuxRacer i emulatory 😉

Dzisiaj #Steam, otwarte sterowniki #ATI, chyba też coś Asus robi pod linuksowe granie?🤔

Nie znam stanu tej gałęzi, jakie macie doświadczenia? Jest jakaś debian-based distro do grania w gry?🤔

It's FOSS News · Fedora-based Gaming Distro 'Nobara 41' Releases With a New Tweak Tool and a Change for NVIDIA UsersIt's time to up your game on Linux with Nobara 41 in 2025. Let's check out the upgrades!
Continued thread

Many beeps later, it turned out the green pin on the GPU was accidentally bridged with the ground pin next to it. A relatively easy fix. Not pretty by any means, but I managed. Card back in the PC, flux and all, and it was stable as well as displaying the right colors! 🙂

It's a bit faster than the #ATI #Mach64 card I had in it before, but by no means super fast. A high quality Quake speed test gave around 72 FPS. I think it was in 640x480.

Also, I read that the ET6000 has issues with #ModeX - a tweaked version of the standard mode 0x13 that offered a slightly higher resolution of 320x240 pixels in 256 colors with some improvements to addressing, if I'm not mistaken. A few games used this, but also quite a lot of demos of the time.

Anyway, bottom line: purchased a €160 vintage graphics card for €25 and nearly shot myself in my foot repairing it! Everything worked out in the end though! 🙂

Can someone use #AI or #OCR to get the actual numbers into #alttext ?

As a #blind #voter who encountered issues at the polls this #election cycle, this information would have helped me greatly. I went to #vote on the first day of #EarlyVoting

Our county uses #verity voting equipment. This includes an #ATI - #AudioTactileInterface. A #voter can listen to the ballot in any of the four supported languages and use a dial and button to make their selections.

Because of past experience with intrusive #ElectionWorkers, the first thing I do is turn off the screen. It didn't help this time.

My particular #ballot style had 72 items. I don't remember the number of the item I was on, (First Court of Appeals, Place 9) when one election worker told another that I would need help. I said aloud that I did not need help, and that, if I did, I could ask for help at that time. Someone said that the machine might "time out" (which is not true - this is a misunderstanding - when a voter is qualified, they get a code to enter into the machine. That code expires after 30 minutes. I'd already entered it). At that point, I very carefully completed my ballot, then took the time to ensure my selections for all ballot items were as I intended. It took me about an hour overall.

I tried to file an #ADA #complaint. I asked the election workers for the complaint form. They did not provide it, and did not believe they had such a thing (they are supposed to, I've served as an #ElectionJudge - there is a stack of them in the same folder as the required ADA information that is to be posted).

They gave me a phone number to call, and the person taking my report understood me to say the equipment had timed out, so the fix was to replace it.

The ADA complaint form is also on the website, where I did complete it. I wish I'd had a voter protection number to call.
