YOUR_VARIABLE=1 %command%

In Steam launch options for a specific game.

So, in this case:

RADV_PERFTEST=nggc %command%

It's the Dark Souls of installing things on Ubuntu

GPU1 is probably your integrated GPU. Look into how you can force the use of your dedicated GPU.

Tried it, no dice.

Gog sucks nuts on Linux though. It's such a pain in the ass to get my Gog games working in Lutris that I opted to install Gog Galaxy as a non-Steam game and then install my Gog games through that.

That's what I've resorted to but it's not working as well as the apt package. Freezes often, cloud sync breaks repeatedly.

 

Almost every distro I've used so far ends up having problems installing Steam due to mismatching i386 packages. I've heard that they're being removed upstream. Anyone happen to know a timeline?

Nah man, that's not a river

 

I'm looking to start a career in GRC. Been searching a bunch of different things (e.g. cybersecurity internal audit, GRC analyst, cyber audit, risk analyst, etc.) but everything that's coming up is mid-senior positions, manager positions, etc.

Just read it. That is a very bad source. It does the same thing you did and just made unverified claims with no actual evidence. It also makes leaps in logic (e.g. "The word was meant to convey, at that time, the inferiority of Asian products to European products. By extension, Asians are also inferior to Europeans.") It makes no mention of "rice boys" and so can't support that claim either. In fact, while I've been doing your due diligence for the last hour, I haven't found an appropriate historical source for any of this. Not on Google Scholar, not on Google proper, nor in my university's library. The closest thing I've found for "rice boy" in particular is the dubious book of definitions that Wikipedia is using as a source for that claim. And the closest thing I'm finding for racist connotations of "rice burner" is from the book Far Eastern Tour which outlines its use in Korea by Canadians in reference to Korean support troops. Of course, the Oxford Dictionary has some information concerning the American etymology, but it is paywalled so I can't access it.

And how dare you accuse me of rewriting history when you won't make the slightest effort to research it yourself. What a shameful display of hypocrisy.

 

This is the laptop in question. It has an x86 processor so basically any distro should work on it. However, it is still a Chromebook which likely means Google fuckery in the BIOS. But it's great value for the money (can get it $300 off at Costco) and if I can plop Linux on to it then I'd love it.
