    The atmosphere which is a big drawing point to these games is degraded, is over 100GB and is a worse product than the previous entries in the series. Not to mention the AI issues that were pointed out in the video, since you didn’t mention those you probably didn’t even watch it.







  • Considering a majority of people use Nvidia on their desktops, they’ll be forced to jump through hoops with stuff as minor as setting their desktop session to X instead of Wayland (which is absolutely not ready) to installing a custom vaapi package to get hardware accelerated video playback in Firefox. With games and Nvidia say goodbye to a chunk of DX12 performance Then you have the majority of laptop users that have intel HD graphics laptops, ones made in the past 10 years will be fine for low end stuff, but they will take a hit because i915 shits itself with DX12 games and the new xe driver that handles it better is very new and only available on iGPUs made in the last 3 years or so? It is really only good if you have an AMD GPU which has absolutely pitiful market share, with the Steam Deck probably being the most popular AMD PC device people own.







  • Only legacy MBR boot requires the boot loader to be at the very beginning of the disk. With GPT and EFI you can make your root the very first partition then have your /boot (and/or) /efi (which has to be fat16 or fat32 depending on partition size, it can be very small and you have the /boot hold your kernels) behind that partition to avoid the ‘to the left of’ issue when resizing partitions, assuming your root filesystem can be resized.
