Of course they don't but it would be funny to see if Windows users spend their time with compatibility layers just this once. You know, for the sake of chaotic good.

And here I just want Half Life 3 to be Linux exclusive for 1 year. I mean, if you make a console-like, you might as well go some exclusives. :)

Even if it won't be that high, it's definitely gonna cost more than Steam Deck.

I see, it's less likely if there is a surge protector (unless surge protector is faulty or older than 5 years). Worth a shot since that happens here a lot.

I saw the FFmpeg test as someone suggesting. That's a good advice. Addition to that run powertop to see how is the power consumption. There is also Phoronix Test Suite that you can use for different benchmarks, might be helpful.

I would say apricot.

I'm using Linux for more than a decade (including Mint) and never had a hardware failure because of it, had 2 GPUs died on me because of power shortages though.

Anyway, I believe those are more likely a coincidence because older they get it's more likely they die because of age, especially for PSUs. And PSUs die almost without any indications. However 3 PC is a lot, but I would suspect unstable electricity before that.

It's also possible that motherboard is dead instead of PSU. And if they're laptops, I think this is a better possibility. It's easier to check if they are not laptops.

Possibly months later.

Heh, onlu rule in English: Memorize them all!

Thanks for the link. Explains why I never heard of it, it's more or less useless. Though English spelling has many problems, not just this.

Can anyone explain what's "i before e"?

I see. Those indeed are not possible on Wayland, at least not the way that was on Xorg. KDE has a built-in tool like xprop but I don't know if it can be used on its own other than running it via KDE settings (There is Detect window properties option under Window rules.)

From my own experience, using global keys was quite a hassle. I have found some workarounds to some but it's still an open issue for me. Wayland has changed how a lot things work and I believe there will be solutions or at least workarounds to all Xorg tools in time, maybe with something like Flatseal but for Wayland but main issue which is security remains, so I don't know how things will go.
