Should be sda then. Your USB alsa shows up as sd* but it should be enumerated after the HDD. Just verify before that you are using the correct one. You MUST NOT fuck this up.
>>
I installed gentoo following their handbook and it went ok, apparently. However, now that i've booted into the installed system there is a problem, no sound.
MPV says alsa is down. Firmware was installed and it is loaded.
My main question is, should sound work out-of-the-box or is there some configuration that i'm have do?
I'm using sway and systemd.

>>107691766
It did not work out of the box for me. I had to set up pipewire. Don't remember the details though, sorry.

Install pipewire and its manager wireplumber, along with its pulseaudio/alsa/jack emulation layers.
Should have working sound after that.

I am going to start my first ever WFH position with my first work laptop and would like to know how you guys use it at home.
Do you connect it to your main PC's monitor(s), keyboard, etc. using a dock/KVM switch, or have a dedicated setup or just rawdog it by simply using the laptop itself?

Any version of Windows since 1995 has been more polished, production-ready and user-friendly than any Linux distro ever made. That's obvious to anybody who has installed both of them on the same machine.

Are Linux users just lying about their distros being a better experience than a Windows installation?

>No, no it doesn't, you just haven't used it long enough or did enough with your PC to notice. Give it time friend, you'll be doing something important and it'll shit itself in confusion. You'll either go back to Windows or buy a Mac mini.
I've used both Windows and Linux for about 15 years now, give or take. I can honestly say that my Windows 11 box (no, 10 LTSC is not an option for me) gives me more trouble than my Linux machines by orders of magnitude. In the Windows 7 years this would be a laughable thought, but Microsoft made it a reality, and we have no reason to believe that things will not get much, much worse with Windows 12+.
Windows "just werks" if all you do is play Steam games, but I don't even need Windows for that anymore.
>>
>>107681413
the problem with linux is it still functions like windows 98 when windows NT has existed for 30 years. you can rice it as much as you want and it never fixes its fundamental flaws. a package manager that can differentiate between user apps and critical system components does not exist and the only cope distros can come up with is clamping down on available packages or having a app store facade, not to mention when an update fails or breaks something your only recourse is to have had made an entire system image. you cant put all of the responsibility on the end user as a design philosophy, people are fucking stupid and even for power users and sysadmins this is clunky. you have to use root or sudo so often that it takes any safety from having things locked behind privileged accounts to begin with. some normie tries to remove firefox from ubuntu, types in root password for the billionth time today and next thing you know half the packages on the system are gone
>>
>>107691524
it's windows nt that still has dos-isms like drive letters and a restrictive filename character set (dos being the poor man's cp/m)
>>
>>107691524
>a package manager that can differentiate between user apps and critical system components does not exist
any distro i've tried has a base group or core repo that defines this. the confusion comes from windows users thinking that a DE is a system application
>mention when an update fails or breaks something your only recourse is to have had made an entire system image.
whare are btrfs snapshots. also if an update borks windows you're more likely to need to reinstall windows than i am to have to reinstall linux. linux is much easier to repair even without snapshots
>you have to use root or sudo so often that it takes any safety from having things locked behind privileged accounts to begin with.
normal users won't need to touch the root user often at all, you're a power user so you mess with the system a lot more than normal people do
>some normie tries to remove firefox from ubuntu, types in root password for the billionth time today and next thing you know half the packages on the system are gone
this is what happens when a distro tries to do what you're suggesting and more common applications part of the "core system components"

We're at the point where Lenovo has removed the 7-row layout, swapped fn/ctrl, changed the lid shape, removed the roll-cage, removed socketed CPUs, removed the lid latch, started soldering memory, started soldering wifi, dropped the combination NVME/2.5" bay, and dropped RJ45.
And every fucking step of the way, going right back to posting on /prog/, I've watched thinkpad posters go through the "old good, new bad (until it's cheap on ebay)" cycle annually.

im curious, do you have any specific examples of poor optimization with normal engines?
>>
>>107689843
More a case of "damn, this screwdriver really sucks at loosening nuts!". Most common game engines are optimized for more static geometry, use of light and shadow, few transparencies, etc. The engines are an ecosystem, and integrating 3rd party compiled code with it... as a general rule, can either be very difficult or very inefficient.
Meanwhile, I had to spend 1/3 of each frame pushing new geometry, terrible compile times and crazy bugs from linking in my constantly changing library, duplicated twice/thrice buffers cause my library, the engine, and the GPU all wanted different formats, etc. Parallel compute issues were just the nail in the coffin.
>>
>>107689843
More than poor optimization it's that they have a fucktonne of extra shit a specific game doesn't need because they are used for everything from MMORPGs to FPS to archviz to movies.

It's not that you can do a better job than Epic engineers with 25 years of experience, it's that you don't have to do any job at all in 99.9% of cases when comparing with something like UE5.
