I recently switched from my ISP’s combo device to a GL-inet Flint 2 (https://www.gl-inet.com/products/gl-mt6000/);;) no complaints with it thus far, and I’ve enjoyed some of the quality of life features it’s got built into it.

Linux Gaming@lemmy.world•Trying Linux gaming & never looking back. Proton is amazing.
2·3 years agoWelcome to the club!
The only game I can’t play is rocket league.
Have you tried it on Heroic Games Launcher yet? I play RL from time to time with a buddy, and both of us have gotten it to work without any notable issues via Heroic.

Android@lemmy.world•15 years of Android memories – When did you get your first Android phone?
3·3 years agoFirst Android phone was a Motorola Moto G4. Solid phone, great budget buy at the time. Replaced it with a refurbished Galaxy S9 in 202, which is actually still serving me to this day. My S9 is showing its age now, but I’m refusing to buy a phone that does not have a headphone jack, so I’m going to run it into the ground.
First Android device was actually a Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet (16GB storage, 1GB of RAM). Ended up running Jellybean, and finally KitKat, off of a microSD card to keep it going. Actually still have it, but flashed to Android 7. Gapps doesn’t install, but I’m impressed it was able to run as well as it did.

Linux Gaming@lemmy.world•Counter-Strike 2 System Requirements for Linux
2·3 years agoYes, in further testing I’ve seen purple artifacting around smokes, and sometimes around molotovs. It seems to be worst with the smokes, though.

Linux Gaming@lemmy.world•Counter-Strike 2 System Requirements for Linux
3·3 years agoBit late to the party, but so far the game seems to be working fine on my Manjaro install (running Wayland+Pipewire, RX 6800 XT).

Open Source@lemmy.ml•Some time ago I was looking for a Linux music player
2·3 years agoI’m in the same boat; longtime MusicBee user on Windows, and it’s one of the few things I haven’t found a “good enough” replacement for on Linux.

Linux Gaming@lemmy.world•Devs Announce FaceIT Anticheat for BattleBit will be compatible with Linux, Steam Deck
2·3 years agoDang it, I got especially excited because I thought FaceIt was finally going to support anti cheat/their client on Linux for CSGO, too. Glad to see that BBR is getting some love, but c’mon, FaceIt…

News@lemmy.world•Revealed: How major US banks are funding anti-LGBTIQ groups
31·3 years agoFor some perspective:
- Funding given by BofA to the groups listed in the source: $390,000
- Funding given by BofA to fossil fuel companies: $232,000,000,000
(Granted, this is not a perfect apples-to-apples comparison, as the fossil fuel numbers are for 2016-2021, not 2017-2020, but regardless…)

Linux Gaming@lemmy.world•What are your thoughts on the state of native Linux games?
1·3 years agoCSGO and Northgard both have native clients; I think Northgard’s native client has an issue where you can’t use the Steam overlay in-game, but I believe that’s some sort of OpenGL glitch. Otherwise they’re both pretty flawless.

I’m admittedly not much of a networking expert, but you might be able to improve your existing network by running Ethernet backhaul for your mesh network (assuming your access points support it).
Regarding whether you would benefit from a router like that: I’ve only got a 25Mbps connection, so my main use case for it is using ZeroTier to access various services on my local network, more advanced firewall controls, and the dual 2.5G Ethernet ports for connection between my main PC and home server.
