Im running Ubuntu on a Surface Pro 5 (i5 7300u, 8GB) with the linux-surface-kernel.

Generally, things pretty much worked out of the box, the only tinkering I had to do was to optimize battery life / cpu power usage when not plugged in. Theres packages that will limit your CPU frequency depending on the status of your battery. I dont remember the exact name, but it was pretty much the first hit I googled "linux limit cpu power" or something like that. Without that, the battery life wasnt great, especially when watching YouTube, but with some tweaking and the proper h264/h265 drivers, my surface achieves some 3-4 hours of video playback right now.

Other than that it's smooth sailing all the way.

I am in fact German, I just wanted to make a joke that pointing out AfD being russia-financed nutcases will yield very little effect in a community like this one, because this sub is just as much a russian propaganda asset as r/conservative is over on reddit.

This is c/conservative, a right wing, russia friendly, populist community

As the inspiration yes. But Minecraft hunger games was the first to do it in gaming while also reaching maybe not more people than the movies, but definitly spreading to communities that the movies and books didnt reach (e.g. i didnt watch the movies until well over ten years after I had played my first game of MC hunger games)

I couldnt find a release history for the Minecraft mod, however according to the following article, it was released about a year before the original PlayerUnknown mod for DayZ / Arma 3.

Or just GT, since thats the two letters they also use for their diesels (GTD) and plug in hybrids (GTE).

They could have also gone with GTID, still GTI, but also ID, their EV brand.

Marketing people make up the stupidest shit. "Grand Turismo Intelligence".

Why not just say "I" stands for current. It's literally the symbol for that. So it'd be Grand Turismo, but electric.

Minecraft Hunger Games, although a mod, is responsible for the Battle Royal hype aswell.

So Minecraft caused Fortnite twice - once as a survival crafting and building game and then as a Battle Royal retaining some of these elements

It's simple: Either the project management team keeps the customer away from my time tracking or I'll keep my time away from that customer

Chinese companies steal your data

Putting GrapheneOS on the Pixel is good advice though
