Check if bpm-power.com ships to your location, depending on the item they have decent prices. Based in Italy

Poweramp, IMO the UX is excellent and it has tons of powerful features. No other music player I've tried comes close.

Personally I'd love to see the CEO thrown out. Maybe then Tumblr will benefit as well.

Depends on the car, some of them are smarter about it. I remember my dad's old pickup would downshift if it picked up speed while not touching the throttle, like when going downhill

The B650M is a smaller size and therefore has less features, but overall they seem similar. Biggest difference would be the integrated SSD heatsink and better VRM design + cooling of the non-M version. Also the second SSD slot being connected to the CPU instead of the chipset, if you ever want to put in two M.2 drives. One thing to watch out for is that both of these boards use a Realtek LAN chip which sometimes can be problematic with Linux.

Here is a list of most banking apps and whether they work or not. I've been using GrapheneOS for a while and haven't encountered major problems. Only thing I wish I knew beforehand is that multi-user profiles are more cumbersome than what most people say.

VRMs (voltage regulator modules) are what bring the power to the CPU and these can get quite hot on high power processors. If you look around the socket on a motherboard, usually above and opposite the RAM, they are the big square/rectangle shaped components. Most high-performance motherboards have heatsinks on top of them to keep them from overheating, which your MB does not have.

Oh I know about alpine, sadly it didn't "click" the same way void did and felt more like a distro to use in embedded systems or similar space constrained situations. Gentoo on the other hand I like, but the initial setup + waiting for stuff to compile put me off of it. Maybe I'll try it again sometime with all precompiled packages.

Void is my favourite distro, although I haven't used it for a while. Extremely fast package manager, rolling release but not bleeding edge, super simple, very fun to tinker with (more than Arch imo). I stopped using it because I wanted something more popular for easier troubleshooting. But if I ever get a secondary PC/laptop I'll probably start using it again.

Plymouth would be what you're looking for. You'd have to find an XP theme or create one yourself.

Edit: So after an exciting evening of uninstalling drivers, rebooting, playing a round of CSGO and starting over, I can report that nothing is broken. I haven't tried much other than a handful of games though. In the end I removed the drivers in batches, uninstalling all versions of a major version together (all 515.*, then 520.*, then 525.* etc).

Of note is that all the drivers I removed were the 32 bit versions, since the 64 bit one updated properly. This is what's left of the drivers, I believe these are all actually needed and I'm not comfortable removing any of them (and even if they're not needed the space savings would be minimal anyway):

Hello, I was wondering if anyone knows why flatpak keeps tons of Nvidia driver versions installed. Currently on my Fedora install I have:

A few months ago, when a new Nvidia update came out, usually what I'd do is update then run flatpak uninstall --unused, which would get rid of the older version no problem. As you can see, around driver version 510 this stopped working. If I try to remove them manually with eg. flatpak remove org.freedesktop.Platform.GL32.nvidia-510-68-02, I get this:

Info: applications using the extension org.freedesktop.Platform.GL32.nvidia-510-68-02 branch 1.4:
   com.valvesoftware.Steam
Really remove? [y/n]:

My question is, is Steam actually using these drivers? Are these safe to remove? I'd like to get rid of them since they're bloating my root partition and updating 10 driver versions takes ages.
