Not sure why the algorithm brought me here, but this was actually kinda relaxing to watch. Nice of you to upgrade your sister's PC for her. I kinda miss doing stuff like this. If it wasn't for building random low-end PCs for family members I might not be into PC hardware today.
Nice comparison. I have been curious about Sodastream for a while, and so far glad I have not bought one yet. I mainly drink diet or zero sugar versions, but if they can't get the regular version even close, I doubt their other sodas are close.
one thing to take note of is that older systems like this tend to run singleplayer worlds way worse than when on servers, especially systems using their integrated graphics.
you manually disabled DXVK when you played those windows games right? there's no way steam would detect you have no vulkan and then disable dxvk, right?
@@KingHogarthFreeRanged if proton hadn't disabled dxvk, the windows games wouldn't have loaded at all. it would give you a directx error of sorts. because that gpu is many generations away from having even the most basic of vulkan support, and dxvk translates it to vulkan instead of opengl. to force it to not use dxvk, you can put the following env var in the launch options for any game: PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 %command% %command% is required otherwise it would treat it as a game argument which it is not. dxvk makes gaming on linux actually viable because wined3d is really bad, but no vulkan means no dxvk unfortunately. i had to endure cards with no vulkan on linux for a few months, it was terrible.
I used this exact model and form factor from 2014 til 2021. Started with a 7200RPM 160GB HDD , 3GB RAM and integrated graphics. It has some Celeron dual core in it. Then by 2021 it was a Core 2 Duo E8400, 16GB RAM and two SSDs, a 240GB ADATA and a 480GB SanDisk. Remained useable for general tasks into 2021, ran Ubuntu in 2014, Windows 7 in 2016, 8.1 in 2017 and made the jump to 10 in 2021. Good PC to me for a while
