[QUOTE="Tom Bombadildo, post: 10095773, member: 187316"] You're working with quite outdated information at this point if you really believe all of that, most of that hasn't been true for ages. There's been an equivalent to Throttlestop for [URL='https://github.com/georgewhewell/undervolt']nearly half a decade now[/URL] ([URL='https://gitlab.com/corectrl/corectrl']and here's a modern GUI that works very well if you don't want to bother with terminal[/URL] that's also existed for 3 or 4 years). Use the latter on my 2017 Razer Blade 14 specifically to undervolt my 7700hq in Linux Mint. The only issue with wifi cards in the last 10ish years have been specifically older Broadcom cards and a couple rarely used Realtek cards, but these days anything modern is available by default in nearly every updated distro I've used. I have to use a Linux live USB all the time at work to test hardware functions on laptops from pretty much every brand, can't remember the last time wifi has ever given me an issue. Same applies with lid closing, now that every laptop and their mother uses one of the same 2 or 3 hall effect sensors it's never a problem and they're all supported without issue. You're 100% correct on ext4 though, I really wish they'd add native exFAT support or something more useful, but I doubt it :/ Linux definitely isn't the answer to all problems that a lot of Linux users think it is, and it still lacks a lot of QoL end-user features you see on Win/macOS, but it's also not some "barebones, nothing ever supported!!" thing you seem to think it is anymore. /offtopic :lol: As to OP, I doubt it ever will make all standalone emulators obsolete, but most older consoles (like N64/GBA era and lower) it already has. Can't remember the last time I've actually used a standalone emulator for NES or Genesis and the like. Anything later though and 9 times out of 10 it's better to use standalone. As already noted various times, Dolphin and PCSX2's cores are pretty barebones all things considered, and RPCS3/Xenia I doubt will see anything in the future given the amount of customization you need to get a lot of things to run.
