The greatest enemy of Jews worldwide right now is the Israeli government. What the fuck, man? It’s like they’re trying to get American Jews killed

According to the article, the actual performance is on par with a GTX 660 Ti

Sounds like it’s about equivalent to Intel’s latest GPU. Both are running about a little over a generation behind AMD and Nvidia.

Sounds like it’s more than “a little over one generation behind” if it benchmarks near an Nvidia card released 14 years ago??

Why should I know this

It’s stuff like this that makes me want to get a 3D printer

Wayland is one of the reasons I picked fedora/plasma

This is a great question because if you’re not familiar with wireless communication, it does make sense

I was actually born on the first of January in the year 1901

I was doubtful I’d ever install this on a family member’s PC but all the normal stuff just worked

I do and used it professionally so I’ve hard a hard time getting into GIMP. Haven’t tried it with the keyboard shortcut update, thought

It was a pretty well-specced machine when I built it but it’s not too new. Intel i7-13700k 13th gen, gtx 5080 (added way later obviously), 64gb DDR5, 2x wd black NVMEs

EVERYTHING feels like 100ms+ delay on Windows nowadays. There’s even a delay opening the start menu (because apparently it’s HTML5 in a wrapper now??)

I wish I could tell you why I settled on it. I know Ubuntu got vetoed because of the slow release cycle but I can’t remember what crime Mint committed

I never booted it but yes I do have the ISO on ventoy

I didn’t think Linux had HDR for some reason so it was a pleasant surprise to see it at all! I’ll probably just wait for officially releases until I run into problems

Aha, that works too! I’ll edit the post to suggest this to future readers

The partition thing was part of the installer. I used the suggested partitions and when that didn’t work, tried resizing the suggested partitions. When that didn’t work (can’t resize an efi partition apparently), I made the partitions myself and it was the same thing.

I was already a bit annoyed by the aspect ratio and needing to access a hidden menu to boot with an Nvidia card so I stopped trying after that.

I might install those just for fun but I’m pretty happy with the default plasma dark theme!

The thing that really blew me away wasn’t just the ease but the SPEED of it. Can’t believe I had a functional operating system in under 10 minutes. I swear it took an hour just to get to the desktop on my last Windows install.

Good to know! I will likely stick to this for now, my mouse is on its last legs and it’ll be the last trash Corsair peripheral I ever own. I’m getting a free Logitech MX Master 3s (confirmed Linux support) from work and plan to replace the keyboard and headset next year anyway.

There’s a few things I expect to run into (I’m still beholden to a lot of windows software for now) but the most important stuff is behind me!

Temple Grandin is incredible
