You might be on to something there; I'll have to give that a look!

Yeah, that seems to be a common theme. Creating timers from Assistant still works fine, but anything with Assistant that has to go through Tasks is basically broken :(

Have you ever found a way to make reminders in Tasks through Google Assistant actually work? When they switched from the Assistant reminders to Tasks, they became so unreliable at showing at the specified time (i.e. "remind me to do ___ at 3pm") that I can't use them anymore.

Bass player approved.

First Android phone was a Motorola Moto G4. Solid phone, great budget buy at the time. Replaced it with a refurbished Galaxy S9 in 202, which is actually still serving me to this day. My S9 is showing its age now, but I'm refusing to buy a phone that does not have a headphone jack, so I'm going to run it into the ground.

First Android device was actually a Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet (16GB storage, 1GB of RAM). Ended up running Jellybean, and finally KitKat, off of a microSD card to keep it going. Actually still have it, but flashed to Android 7. Gapps doesn't install, but I'm impressed it was able to run as well as it did.

Snagged a 6800 XT for $510 USD a few months back. It's a beast of a card, and I'm very content to enjoy the performance I've got for quite a while to come. Unfortunately AMD doesn't bring their cool features to Linux right away, so I'll have to wait a while for stuff like Fluid Motion Frames (if it ever ends up coming to Linux at all).

Pixels don't support display out over USB-C? Well, that's dumb. Surprised I've never heard about that being a missing feature before.

Yes, in further testing I've seen purple artifacting around smokes, and sometimes around molotovs. It seems to be worst with the smokes, though.

Bit late to the party, but so far the game seems to be working fine on my Manjaro install (running Wayland+Pipewire, RX 6800 XT).

TLJ higher than the prequels is a bold statement. That was the movie that convinced me that new Star Wars was dead on arrival.

ROTS being so low actually surprises me a bit; what's your reasoning for that? If you haven't checked it out, I strongly recommend the novelization of ROTS, it's one of the best Star Wars novels I've ever read.

I'm in the same boat; longtime MusicBee user on Windows, and it's one of the few things I haven't found a "good enough" replacement for on Linux.

Using Manjaro KDE here, as well. Granted, I mostly play Counter-Strike, Risk of Rain 2, Stellaris, and various indie games, but pretty much everything has been very smooth. Very glad to be free of Windows on my main machine, and it hasn't really affected how I use my PC day-to-day.
