  • I’m unsure what your paying and where your located to be exact but I can hunt around for you locally. We have pretty good GPU prices around here. East coast USA. 6800 is a decent card but for the cost I bet we can get a 6800xt or maybe even a 6900xt. For what I paid for my last 6800xt I was able to get a 6900xt for 20USD more which is a much more capable card. Do you have the PSU to run a beefy GPU? I got my 7900xt about 350 to 400 dollars off new and it was open box only still new. How much you trying to get USD for the 3070? I might have a buyer already for you. 3rd question. I’ve got a 6800xt on hand as well. It’s a Red Dragon 6800xt.




  • What’s your budget on a gpu? I seen your other post same as this one. Secondly your running into most likely driver issues nvidia truly us miserable to game on especially Linux gaming. I’ve built dozens and dozens of computers. I generally build full AMD rigs if someone wants to game hassle free. That being said before you go spending on a 6800 it’s better to know your goal as in frames, stability, hassle your willing to deal with, and lastly budget. You certainly won’t regret going full AMD and the 6800 is a decent card. Have you tried switching to different drivers of nvidia? Like 570 open or other numbers manually within your OS?









  • All you people with multiple profiles better have insane backup strategies and love doing it often and it’s a removed. You have to backup each profile and restore individually once booted back up starting with owner then one after another. It’s a nightmare.

    You also cannot use a single drive to backup each profile as the backup reading process that distinguishes each profile does not understand.

    Meaning the same drive cannot even be partitioned to have a save of each profile. It requires different drives entirely. The absolute simplest process for backups are having a flash drive for each profile. Graphene os is very cumbersome to backup and DOES NOT backup all data. Once you restore from a backup you’ll understand all the pains I say, including the data you have to restore separately. A good backup is only good if you know you can restore and it works.

    Hope this helps people refine their profile strategies. Most people avoid owner usage. I think there are pros and cons to that strategy. Like no pop up messages, notification delays, many other lacking options outside of owner profile like certain settings are unavailable to tweak. Including dev mode.

    I’ve used graphene for years, across multiple pixel generations. It’s not the white knight made out to be. Their project is very silo’d in security and lacks the true polish of a complete OS. I still use it and think it has great merit just note the drawbacks are many. There’s so much more to add. It is late in my timezone. Hope this helps someone.

    I think after testing multiple strategies that the best is to main owner, business and Google stuff 2nd, sketchy apps and things you don’t care if they get lost to delete the phone back to factory. Backup 1 and 2 only. 3 or more are throwaways. You have far more threats to lose your data from theft or social engineering by friends or family etc. than you do someone hacking multiple encrypted browsers with sandboxes of apps and then across encrypted profiles. Most of those scenarios are too complex but your imagination makes them appear big and real because of movies or TV.

    Reality is the true threats are often much easier and simple. Bad actors tend to be least effort to get their goal. Nor are most Jason Bourne.
