What's going on between Linus Media Group and Gamers Nexus? in c/outoftheloop

If you watch the first 15-20 seconds of GN's first video on this, the clip of the guy in the tour literally calls out GamersNexus and Hardware Unboxed

Edit: "The difference between us and, similarly, GamersNexus and HardwareUnboxed, is we test new components, new tests, everytime"

I thought we were talking about brewing homes but hacking game consoles is cool too

How does everyone feel about Google Pixel phones? in c/android

[–] Kangy 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

There was on mine at least. It would overheat if on an extended video call and shut down all running apps until it was cool again. Sent it off to Samsung who replaced the main board (which I assume is the one that has the CPU ram and GPU attached) but the issues still persisted. My S22 ultra performed worse that my Note 10+ 5G.

To say I was disappointed in the performance is a drastic understatement considering the price of the phone

I swapped to a Pixel 7 Pro from a Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra after having serious stutter and performance issues with my S22.so far I've loved it and it's performed so much better than the S22 I had.

I do miss the customisation Samsung had with Good Lock modules though. Maybe I'll have to look into rooting my phone unless I can find a no root alternative.

Long story short it's been around 6 months and I'm still very happy with it.

That would be my plan, I have windows on its own 500gb drive and 2 1tb drives for gaming. My plan would be partition on the gaming drives as they just house the game files.

How much would you recommend allocating to EOS? I'm very much green around the ears when it comes to Linux, I've dabbled and have a home server running Manjaro and fumbled my way through that somehow!

If all goes well I'd like to daily drive it and only use Windows for games I can't get running on EOS

This looks beautiful. Been tempted to set up a dual boot myself with Windows 11. How was it to get everything working?

Not bad for what you're getting! Do they sell them in shops or are they all online?

Been tempted to pick one of these up, or a variety at least. What's the main differences between yours and OPs and which would you recommend in the end?
