What you’re looking for is a Marine Nationale-style NATO strap. I have a few of them from CNS Watchbands from Sweden, cheap and good quality. Not sure if they sell this exact color scheme though.

The one you showed seems to be from Zuludiver.

FWIW “true” MN watchbands are elastic. Not what you’re looking for but you might find more colorways.

And after aaaaaall you’re my terminaaaaaaal

Seconded, I moved my gaming rig is on Bazzite and has been trouble free and maintenance free ever since.

I installed Bluefin on the laptop I gave my father, and it’s been happily running trouble-free every single day since August without a single intervention. And my father is the kind of man who can conjure up unknown bugs, weird failures and random crashes by simple hand contact.

Thanks!

It won’t answer all of your answers, but it should at least give you a good primer on what distros are and what are the main key takeaways.

Seconded. I recently moved my gaming rig from Nobara to Bazzite because this machine is only occasionally booted, and I don’t want to spend the little time I have available for gaming doing maintenance instead. Except from a mounting error for my secondary drive that I made (bc after 20+ years on Linux I still can’t be arsed enough to learn how to fstab), I was in Cyberpunk 2077 in less than 5 minutes.

Pros:

• Easy setup, everything works out of the box
• A lot of preinstalled gaming-related packages and tweaks, plus a lot of QOL improvements over Silverblue/Kinoite
• Ready to game as soon as it’s installed
• No updates, no maintenance! Full system images are downloaded and installed in the background and are applied at reboot.
• Immutable so “impossible” to fuck up.
• uBlue projects are not distros but a delivery system, all the work is actually done by Fedora. No risk associated with a single-maintainer project like Nobara.

Cons:

• Immutable so “impossible” to fuck up.

Pro tip: don’t keep your Steam games on a Windows partition. They won’t launch.

Nice ❤️

I’m guessing Portugal?

Next what?

No mistakes allowed.

Nervosa is my favorite all-women band of all time. Super tight thrash/melodeath from Brazil.

It wouldn’t be insane, but it wouldn’t be advisable as a long term solution. USB-C charging ports invariably fail, mostly because of mechanical stresses. And when they do, it’s much more sensible to replace a 10€ expansion card than the entire mobo (or the entire laptop for the competitors).

Besides, you don’t buy a FWL if you’re strapped on cash. You buy it as a gamble on the future to reduce your e-waste while keeping relevant. Plus, there are smarter ways to reduce cost, like buying your ram and ssd elsewhere.

You mean Cornwall?

Haha thanks !

I would like to say I’m used to fstab too but honestly I barely have to use it once every five years 😅

The issue was indeed from the fstab. But it was because exec was specified before users.

The games crash long before launching proton. I suspect something is fishy in the runtime or even before that.

Worst case scenario, I have to nuke this drive and start over. I’ll keep digging tho.

Good call. I’m seeing some stuff I don’t like, I’ll investigate tomorrow.

99% of the time, if a game “should run fine” and nothing happens, it’s because it’s installed on a Windows partition (NTFS or exFat).

Try moving it to a Linux partition.

If it still doesn’t work, you can start advanced troubleshooting.

Unless most “relevant” answers point to a Microsoft help forum with shit answers.

I have to use windows for work and I hate this bullshit.
