One thing worth looking into is if your thermal paste needs replacing.
I see you’ve got an 8145U, that’s old enough that it might need re-pasting. Laptops generally have terrible thermals to start with, so if the paste goes bad you’ll often see them start to thermally throttle on fairly light workloads (like Deltarune).
Another thing worth considering would be to turn on thermald to better control your temps.
Ah, you’re right. Seems like the market is valuing the VRAM
If you mostly just want more VRAM, maybe a used 6700 XT would be better? They come with 12GB of VRAM
Conclusive proof that D is faster than C, 2025
He has a fancy current gen MacBook Pro that he uses for his stuff. Then when it’s lesson time he whips out a windows 95 netbook and a daisy chain of adapters from VGA to thunderbolt.
I mean at that point you gotta admire the tenacity
Here on Lemmy, I think the number of Linux users is in the thousands, not dozens.
Can confirm
It supports GoG, Epic, and Amazon, but it also supports installing games manually, which has worked for literally everything else for me so far.
I used to use Lutris, but in the last year or so Heroic got so good I stopped ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Meh, I like Heroic better personally. It’s a preference thing at this point between the two of em IMO
It’s from Tyr, the Norse god. Originally closer to Tyr’s day, hence the odd spelling relative to the pronunciation.
Likewise we have (W)Odin’s Day, Thor’s Day, Frigg’s Day, and Saturn-Day. Of course there’s also the Sun’s day and the Moon’s day.
I don’t play MMOs anymore (nothing can satisfy me like City of Heroes used to), but just wanted to chime in to say I love your vintage anime character names.
The issue with the line of thinking you’re espousing is that without evidence, you’re suggesting a more complicated cause than simple chance.
Like yes, it is possible that somebody or some group lined all of these things up in advance, but it’s also entirely possible that there’s a ton of noise out there on the internet and that those with nefarious interests just signal boost the noise that benefits them.
Think of all the millions of random schizo-posters out there. You just pick whichever makes the right sounds and boost them. No need to invent the crazy when there’s crazy on tap.

Right, that’s their point. Chocolate chip cookies can be made to be chewy when cold instead of crunchy, in which case they’re still much better than crunchy chocolate chip cookies.
Yeah, it’s really all just cost savings. On their overpriced “luxury” cars
They’re usable as adapters and for 2D stuff, but performance is significantly worse for 3D due to being stuck at the minimum clock speed
It fixes issues with games. If the game has no issues with regular Proton then the answer is generally “no”.
In fact, with regular Proton you’re much more likely to have pre-compiled shaders available for your system through Steam, which should improve performance by reducing stuttering.
Got that AMD fine wine technology
I agree with your overall point, as a long time Linux, Windows and Mac poweruser who has shepherded many into a new OS in the past. People who don’t like to explore new/different technologies as a hobby get quite comfortable with whatever they’re used to and the way that it works and then quickly lose empathy for those that are earlier in their journeys.
Just to clarify on the Linus Pop!_OS thing, he didn’t read the prompt that said he was about to uninstall his desktop environment and then typed in “yes I understand this can break my system” or something like that, which had been added as a prompt to keep people from not reading the warning. Anyways people got mad that he did that because he literally ignored the warning and the meaning of the words he had to type that had been added to idiot proof the thing.
ProtonDB is probably a better choice these days for finding tbe compatibility of games specifically.
