I can't comment generally but I use NixOS and have had no issues playing games on Steam. The setup was laughably simple, just `programs.steam.enable = true;` and Steam handles compatibility so well that I buy games…
This reminds me of another story. Apparently zinc cadmium sulfide was dropped on Canadians by the US military in 1953 -- 2 Albertan towns, and Winnipeg. The timing was so close it made me wonder if it was part of the…

I pretty much got rid of my tinnitus, but my situation won't apply to most people. So I don't have any permanent hearing loss beyond what's normal. My tinnitus is Somatosensory [1], in my case aggravated by neck and jaw…
You certainly could be right. I don't know too much about capacitors, but from what I'm seeing it looks like it could also be a "Hybrid polymer capacitor" [1], which would have some liquid in it [2]. This is also an MSI…

Are bad capacitors common? I bought a brand new motherboard over the holidays, and one of the capacitors appeared to be leaking [1]. I went back to get it exchanged and the experience was interesting. The representative…
