It feels nice too! I've been afraid it's some cheap plastic, and even if it is, feels nicer to touch than my dbrand skin I've been rocking for several months
I was not around when original consoles in this color were released, only found out about it recently and I'm obsessed! Already own two other things in atomic purple (8BitDo controller and Miyoo Mini Plus)
It requires full disassembly, and by full I mean full. Every component has to be unmounted and then remounted again because the front plate is the carrier of all other components. Official video guide I followed (with cuts and perfect execution) is 1.3 hours long.
People usually say it takes them 3+ hours, I took my time and was very careful, took little breaks, double checked everything and landed at around 5.2 hours. No regrets though!
I've considered getting joystick replacements too but decided against. They are not super hard to replace as they are immediately exposed after taking the back cover off, and while less durable can still last years upon years, none of controllers I used in my entire life ever developed stick drift.
Buttons meanwhile require to take out a lot of stuff, so be prepared and leave enough space on your desk for components. Good luck with mods!
I've basically just finished it an hour ago and only run a single game + input tests to make sure everything works, so I can't vouch for anything longterm.
I decided to keep original trackpad covers because I gave up trying to lift the covers and got scared it may break if I apply even more heat / pressure. You have to place black adhesive under transparent covers anyway so it's not a huge visual compromise. They don't seem to rub on the chassis, at least so far. Otherwise I kept to the instructions and replaced everything.
I disagree. I'm pursuing an engineering degree, most of my professors are boomers (In fact, no millennials apart from few Humanities classes) and they are very simple down to Earth people without any strictness my school teachers warned me about.
From what I understand, it usually boils down to user having some modern hardware which has drivers only in recent kernel versions. Since Ubuntu lags behind in Kernel versions, it can be that appropriate drivers for your hardware are simply not there.
For instance Asus-linux community dedicated to using Linux on modern (usually gaming) Asus laptops has a huge Ubuntu warning and recommends Fedora or Arch based distros.
One thing I always talk about is how DE is much more important for new user than a distro. New users will only use GUI anyway so their choice of DE has to be the most comfortable.
Took me years personally to switch to Linux, trying stuff like Ubuntu or PopOS, and I couldn't understand why it doesn't "click" for me until I understood that I simply personally dislike Gnome (being an ex Windows user). Tried a KDE distro and it clicked immediately, never looked back. Now I don't even use KDE but it helped me to get through initial frustration period.
I think it's a matter of habit, really. After using a somewhat minimal Arch install with a WM instead of DE, I get frustrated when an app doesn't have a CLI version, using GUI now feels less comfy almost
Russian here. This is a super old claim from our government and is a common source of jokes, it's even called "Cheburnet" (from Cheburashka) colloquially, nobody really treats such claims seriously. Last time Russian government tried to influence internet was when they struggled to ban telegram for several years, and ended up giving up, endorsing it, and moving their official resources to it.
Came here to say that. Arch may be daunting for a complete beginner, a preconfigured distro may be a better starting platform. For Arch the main ones people talk about are Endeavor / Garuda
(Disclaimer, I've not reviewed the code, don't quote)
Files can be transferred via P2P connection without them being uploaded first to a third location. I assume though that some sort of server serves as a matchmaker allowing two computers find each other when the connection is established
All of these are strictly Ukrainian though. Following some Russian sources as well would make sense to get fuller picture.
(I'm not providing examples though as I don't really follow either. Several months into the war I gave up trying to sort propaganda from something substantial)
He seems pretty genuine, but I can't watch his content because I personally find the cult of money... repelling?
I mean, obviously under capitalism money will have cult following, duh. But this stereotypical handing over tons of cash to someone and someone loosing all their shit makes me feel very uneasy.
