Welcome to the club of late diagnosis, got mine + meds in January this year at 34 years old, even though my doctor's notes from my childhood all very clearly pointed to ADHD but my dad doesn't believe in psychology (and didn't want to accept that his kid is "insane" as he put it :D)

Thanks for the suggestion, bookmarked, will have a gander if I get stuck!

Thanks for the alternative take. Good to know that Fedora supports Flatpak that easily.

Blender has a video editor?! Geez, used it back in the day for 3D rendering, but didn't even cross my mind for videos. Inkscape is a great idea!

Had a couple of recommendations for Ardour from other folks as well, will have to give it a go. Free is free after all.

Games fortunately I have the most experience with lately, was in another country with my ancient T530, and was bored, so did some gaming on Ubuntu, got mostly everything working pretty quickly.

Cheers mate, never even heard of Kinoite, I was looking at KDE Plasma, but had some annoyance about it, can't remember what. I'll look into it for sure.

Is that the probable cause? I did level it recently, and it barely vibrates now. Maybe I'm putting in too much at a time...

Concerta. Turns out I have ADD ¯_(ツ)_/¯

I mean, that's what makes it fun? Do you play games without rules too? In my mind, it's not worth much thought if there's no rules to it. Otherwise you could just say "I will go into the future where they've invented how to become a god and then come back with my godlike powers and do whatever I want."

it's the wishing-for-more-wishes kind of boring thing to do. Boundaries and restrictions breed creativity. That's what's fun for me.

Hmm, yeah, I don't think that's very likely. Used it on the same TV for the entirety of it's lifecycle, and I believe I was using my PC monitor when I was troubleshooting. Very unlikely for two devices to cause the same issue. I'll keep it in mind either way, who knows.

Yeah, I think I'm gonna go for the full mainboard swap over that kind of soldering job. I'm not exactly new when it comes to soldering, but I don't think I can manage components of that scale with my shaky old man hands.

I did mean the towel trick as the last hail mary pass idea if all else fails, I've only done it once myself with my old 970 that started bluescreening all of a sudden. It did live for another 2 years after that, I would call it a success. Not typical getting that much, I'm aware.

I'll have a go with the PSU swap and let's see how it goes. Cheers for the advice!

Oh, this sounds like exactly what's happening! On iFixit of all places, I'm embarrassed. I'm a huge fan, but never occurred to me to check their guides...

From what I can tell from googling what the hell reballing my APU means, I gather it's not something you can generally do yourself. Although, since it's solder joints that have come loose or bad, ye olde glitching GFX towel-oven trick could work as well. If all else fails, I'll consider trying that.

But this also tells me, that if my spare parts PS4 main board works, I can just swap it over and it should work.

Thank you, no clue why I didn't find that guide with my previous googling!
