  • For getting a idea of how your games run check out protondb.com you can add your steam library to easily check your library.

    For epic, gog and Amazon prime gaming you got heroic (https://heroicgameslauncher.com/) it also uses proton to play windows games.

    GPU drivers are fine. AMD just works for gaming and Nvidia (depending on distro you need to install the drivers, search how to install them and dont install them from the Nvidia website) works fine if you just have a simple setup. The Nvidia drivers are improving alot by the way.

    Random mouse, keyboard and other stuff is a hot or miss. Most of the time basic stuff simply works, but maybe there are no drivers/programma to set rgb or macros. (P.s. Try open rgb for rgb stuff)

    You can always try with a dual boot. If you not used to Linux and like gaming maybe something like pop os

    There are many 775 socket boards that support ddr3 and core 2 duo/quad supported ddr2 and 3.

    There are even motherboard that support both ddr2 and ddr3 like this gigabyte g41m combo

    Edit: damn at least some core 2 duo’s support also ddr1. So core duo supports ddr1, 2 and 3

    There are almost no lga 775 boards that have ddr1 support and have core 2 duo as supported cpu. But this ASRock motherboard does support the core 2 duo and ddr1 and ddr2




  • I work as a theatre tech (light and sound) at a college(theatre arts department). I do however use Linux and made some scripts in Python to control my ligtdesk and sound table. So a bit of IT related work. But also talk with students about the creative part of lights, sound and projection and how they can use it during and after there study in there shows.

    I also do some shows for them in the small Theatre in the college and outside the college.

    And give them a workshop teaching them the basics and how they can tell to a tech what they want and how they can do somethings themselves.



  • I live in the Netherlands and now pay €188 a year. It’s just a “wa” insurance meaning if I hit something they pay the damage of the other’s, but not mine damage.

    I drive a car from 2009 and have 10 years of no damages. So if your willing to move to the Netherlands wait 10 years you can lower your payment. (Not really a option I guess)






  • Thanks for you comment, didn’t think of that.

    I bought the used pallet collar’s for a company I know and it shipped and stored stainless steel. I’m fine with that. But if someone isn’t comfortable with used new pallet collar’s are about €15.

    The free pallets I used only moved pavement stones once, so I also think it fine. But yeah don’t just pick something on the side of the road to grow food in.

    A other comment mentioned chemical treatment of pallets. I didn’t think of that. Most pallet in the eu are not allowed to use chemicals to treat the wood. Only heat treatment. That covers eur/epal pallets and single use pallets. Basically the only ones that are free or cheap. And it most be printed on the pallet how they are treated.

    That being said be careful especially in countries without laws against using chemicals on pallets.

    So I’m fine using them also understand other people are not. Then buying new are just wood for the store is always a option.


  • It’s forbidden to use chemical treatment on Eur pallet/epal pallets. They are only heat treated. Single use pallet are also forbidden to use chemical treatment, but are normally not heat treated. So for the eu the treatment is not the problem. Of course didn’t think of the rest of the world. Sorry for that.

    For the stuff that’s was on the pallet collar’s stored and transported stainless steel and the free pallets I got where form work and shipped some pavement stones.

    If you don’t feel safe buy/getting for free used. New epal pallet collar’s are about €15. They are only heat treated by law.


  • I “just” moved and now taking care of the garden. I want a small vegetable garden (again) in raised beds.

    You have a lot of raised beds kits the cheapest ones are €40 and more expensive ones are €90. I however used pallet collar’s at €5 a piece. You don’t even have to screw them together just put them down. For some custom size beds I use free pallets. They do take some work however.

    Give them one treatment with linseed oil and you can use them for years. They live longer then the cheap kits and just a bit shorter then expensive ones. (Hardwood probably out life them)

    Kits for vegetable gardens are most of the time really overpriced. Raised beds kits, tool kits and so on.

    If you want high quality tools buy them of course, but starter kits are most of the time just the cheapest ones at a premium. Want hardwood raised beds, just buy wood and not a kit.

    I suggest start on the cheap side, see if it your hobby. Buy cheap tools they already least long enough and if they break you know that you maybe want to invest in a premium one. Because you use that tool really often. (Second hand old tools are sometimes a better option of course)
