  • The vast majority of consumers do not watch or read reviews. They walk into a Best Buy or whatever retailer and grab the box that says GeForce that has the biggest number within their budget. LTT even did a breakdown at some point that showed how even their most watched reviews have little to no impact on sales numbers. Nvidia has the mind share. In a lot of people’s minds GeForce = Graphics. And I say all that as someone who is currently on a Radeon 7900XTX. I’d be sad to see AMD and Intel quit the dGPU space, but I wouldn’t be surprised.






  • I mean Windows 11 can do annoying things, but it’s not gibberish. Reminds me of XP to Vista, but less about performance issues and more about incessant GUI tweaks no one asked for.

    I’d say update it and make do, then move to Linux down the road if it annoys you enough to motivate that decision.

    It’s not all bad, I am enjoying the HDR features, which is the only reason I updated before the Win10 EOL.

    That said, I do plan on making a Linux VM and playing around to get a feel for it.


  • You should take what works for you. There’s no “this drug is the real one that works.”

    Each drug has differences in the way it works and the effects on an individuals brain chemistry.

    A psychiatrist would start you on a low dose of a given drug and increase dosage while monitoring impact and side effects. There’s no good way to find the best drug for you without literally trying them all. But that’s a long annoying process, and I think most people just stop trying when they find one that’s “good enough.”
