I've been playing dark souls lately and wanted to see what pegi wrote about it. It's mildly amusing

Without other usb devices the keyboard works immediately. With them it takes 5 ish seconds for it to start responding. This is regardless of which device is discovered first (which I can manipulate), it seems to just wait for all of them. Is there a way to make it not do that?

Edit: This is specifically about linux boot. It otherwise works fine in bios / bootloader

I recently had to use windows for stuff and after a year of using Linux, it made me realise how janky windows is in comparison. Even on a top spec pc unminimized (or resized) windows flash white before their contents appear. Super-d to minimize/maximize doesn't bring all windows back up or in the same order. And these are greatly amplified when the computer isn't that powerful, so much so that you can see individual regions of some programs render one by one. In addition, moving the kde connect window sometimes made the screen stutter and flicker (???) and at some point my mouse stopped working (touchpad was fine), I tried reinstalling drivers and stuff but ultimately I had to reboot for it to work again.

Brings back memories of my laptop loudly booting up in the middle of the night for no apparent cause or reason and mouse cursor going invisible upon random boots that made me save a file in the middle of the desktop about how to fix it.

It's incredible how Linux is both free and a more stable experience, even as a nvidia+wayland user.

In the bad ending of the game, you bomb some volcano looking region of the city with what looks like nukes to kill the dark ones. Got lots of questions about that. Why was that area glowing red? Why were the dark ones thought to be there while during the game they were quite close to human settlements? Or if human settlements are under that red area, doesn't bombing it also harm the humans? And why exactly was the objective bombing the dark ones while nosalises were shown to be the main threat to humanity? If polis station had accepted helping, would they also bomb the red area? I was under the impression they'd come to Artyom's Station and protect it manually. Also if those missiles were nukes, won't that just create more mutants? Are these ever explained in the game or the books?

I don't know what exactly the file names are, ls shows one of them as ''$'\320''"m'$'\254\032''V' and fish shows it as \Xd0\"m\Xac\czV. Inside the file is

[KCrash]
exe=P π¬V
platform=xcb
display=:0
appname= Π¬V
apppath=ίλ&ΝV
signal=11
pid=23560

I think this is something about xorg, but can't figure out what it is. Does anyone know what it might be and how to fix the issue? Also I don't know how to decode the file name or the strings in the file, so please tell me if they might reveal personal information.
