I somehow missed you mentioning Fractal. My point still stands though. I’ve got the original Define XL. it’s more than a decade old and has housed either one or 3 computers of Theseus, depending. So a pretty good ROI based on its lifespan.

It’s not exactly what you’re looking for but Fractal makes some solid, plain black cases. Most of their models can come with or without windows. The Define line is my favorite - they’re very quiet, spacious, and pretty well designed.

Do you have vsync off? Probably not the culprit since it’s a crash, but I frequently get odd performance issues on the OLED model with Vsync on.

I think it’s their upcoming Cosmic DE that’s Wayland.

I’ve got very similar specs to this and the Pop Shop still runs like garbage. Have you tried installing the Cosmic store? It’s what they built for the upcoming Cosmic DE but you can grab it from the Pop Shop as a replacement. It is infinitely more responsive.

Unless OP is running some other DE, it’s likely not a Wayland issue. Pop!OS runs Gnome on X11 by default.

I run Pop and haven’t run into this, but it sounds like it’s freezing when under heavy network load. Are you wired or wireless? Can you pull up the system monitor before updating a package and see if anything is maxing out? Network, CPU, RAM, drives?

He’s always been independent but caucuses with the Democrats.

I would pay money to watch her debate a Conan O’Brien Clutch Cargo version of Trump.

I HATE playing mobile games but my wife got me hooked on Dawncaster. It’s a roguelike deck builder. I think it’s like $4-5 and no micro transactions but there are expansion packs to add new zones and enemies. I’ve since picked them all up. It’s regularly updated with free content packs and balance changes. The devs are very responsive with the community.

Pop! OS with an RTX 3080 has been rock solid for me.

Pop OS has been rock solid for me on an Nvidia GPU

Grawlix - the use of punctuation to convey swearing in comics or cartoons. @#!&

Malapropism - incorrectly using a word that sounds similar to the intended word. Like Mike Tyson famously saying that he’d “fade into Bolivian”

Malaphor - combining one or more metaphors incorrectly like “we’ll burn that bridge then we come to it”

I tried a bunch of different gaming headsets over the years but as I got older and gave up on online games, I grabbed a pair of AudioTechnica ATH-M50 and have probably had them at least a decade now. They’re closed ear studio monitor headphones so they sound great and are comfortable with long use. I’ve replaced both the cushions and the cable and they still work great.

I think the current variant is the ATH-M50x.

And the correct answer is “String or nothing”.

No offense to anyone who’s into this stuff, but what is the appeal in cataloging and discussing this what’s in your pockets?

I just started tinkering with this yesterday in Gnome on Pop! and it looked like there are options to exclude certain programs from tiling if that’s what you’re looking for.

The Godfather book has a lot of great character nuances but it also has a subplot of Sonny’s enormous dong being the only thing that could satisfy his wife’s bridesmaid’s enormous vagina.

We had a bootlegged copy of this on VHS when I was a kid and my mother would always make my dad fast forward through the pon farr part…

The “small” games that inspired, if not invented it were Doom and D&D. There was a Doom map called Fortress where you’d attack each other’s base and the further you’d progress into your opponent’s base, the better weapons it’d unlock for them to use.

A few guys in Australia combined the ideas in a Quake mod called Quake Team Fortress. Then they got hired at Valve to remake it on the Half Life engine as Team Fortress Classic.
