After a long delay in transit I finally, FINALLY got my 6800XT today! I’ve spent a better part of the evening benchmarking it for performance… what a beast! Unfortunately Manjaro won’t boot in properly with the new GPU in place, but I was planning on already doing a reinstall when …
I got that creative itch recently to revisit drawing, and I also wanted to see how easy it was to get it running under Manjaro. So today I killed two birds with one stone, and surprisingly it’s quite a lot easier to setup compared to Windows. The drivers were installed …
Today was a busy day. My deliveries arrived today, except they didn’t… I had to collect five packages from the post office, not sure why they couldn’t have been delivered to my door but… meh. At least they all arrived in one piece! My lights arrived for the green screen, …

After a couple days of use my new monitor developed a dead pixel near the center of the display. This was a refurb I directly purchased from Acer (via Ebay). I’ll have to go back to bumming it on a 60hz refresh rate until I get a replacement, but meh… …
I did a big oops recently. I saved a good chunk of my Windows and Linux data folders, but somehow when I transferred my Home folders over to another drive my Shotcut projects didn’t make it. Fortunately I had an even older backup from when I did a Mint reinstall …
