  • Most recently the pain in the ass games have been AoE4, and BeamMP. AoE4 crashes in muliplayer, there is a patch for that crash on protondb, but it seems I’m also impacted by an AMD related bug that happens intermittently and will restart X at a random times specifically due to playing AoE4. Tried various kernels and video cards, still crashes.

    BeamMP, looks like a lot of people have this issue, some have been able to resolve it.

    Civ6 used to have stability issues, the Linux client is a joke, I use the proton version because it’s more stable.




  • Ummm, I say that because I’m the friend in the friend group where the games don’t work sometimes, and I’m not going to pretend like that isn’t the case simply because I’m a FOSS advocate.

    I own a steam deck, I have decades of experience with Linux as a Desktop, server, and even some years doing game development, so it’s not for a lack of effort.

    It’s undoubtedly a fact that some mainstream games don’t work at all, or well enough that you’ll play seamlessly with your windows friends. Even protondb admits hundreds of outright borked games. Being dishonest about this does more harm than good.

    It’s amazing what Steam, Valve, AMD, etc, have done recently for Linux gaming, but it’s not the YotLD yet.

    The heat will be hottest in the glass at first contact. In the J hook, in the photo it’s right at the bend, which is where you’d naturally want to hold it it. I wrap my hand a little higher because of that.

    With the U hook. I could hold it by the far side of the U.

    I wouldn’t call the difference significant. If you are happy with the taste, stick with it. It is a tasty vape if you keep it at low temps, avoid burning your flower, and keep your stems clean.

    It will not produce vapor as quickly or effectively as vape in a better class. If you don’t need that, or other perks of a high class vape, stick with what you have.

    VAS is real.

    1. It’s more of a sipper than a ripper
    2. It has a tendency to burn if you aren’t careful
    3. Flavor chasing
    4. Increased use

    My main is the TM2 (ripper), with a Mighty+ (sipper) on the side for longer relaxed sessions, such as when I’m watching a movie, or chatting with a friend.

    Both have superior flavor, power and quality. The ecosystem for the TM2 is especially nice.

    I first started DHV over a decade ago, but had moved to carts for discretion. That long ago, the flavor from the vape (desktop box with whip) was meh, it usually ended up tasting like popcorn.

    After moving from a legal state to one with a thriving grey market, I had the displeasure of experiencing sticker shops, and mystery boof juice vapes.

    It scared me enough to quit vaping cartridges cold turkey and try combustion again. I hated combustion, bought a v3 pro and my mind was blown.

    It’s safe to say I love Dry Herb Vaping and I think everyone should give it a shot with a device at least as good as the v3 pro, but ideally try and Mighty+ or TM2. I’m not pushing ball vapes yet, but the tempest looks doooope.
