I mean, I did say this in a different thread, lol

That’s pretty much what I’ve got yeah… Win-10 LTSE ran through WarHawk-DeBloat and only Steam installed

It might make sense for me to dual boot *Nix then at some point; last time I did was in the XP Era, and GRUB worked flawlessly

I’m a Windows User (Hello, there are dozens of us)

My laptop is Kubuntu (KDE+Ubuntu)

My college laptop was Linux Mint

My main PC is Win-10 LTSE.

Why: I need exceptional anti-cheat support because I play competitive online PvP shooter games religiously, and Virtual Desktop (VR Streaming Application) doesn’t run under Linux.

Should I think about not doing that and install Bazzite instead?

Well there’s the problem, huh?

You uh, that’s all three wishes, you sure you don’t want something more traditional, like world peace or something?

I had everything in my cart.

I was waiting for Black Friday.

I get an alert saying the RAM in my cart was unavailable.

I’m thinking, okay, maybe they’re out of white RAM, I’ll just do black.

The $200 kit in my cart was now $1,200, but worse yet, everything but the slowest RAM was out of stock.

I decided, fuck this, fuck them, and I bought everything but the RAM.

A few days later, I told my friend my troubles, he says: “DUDE! I HAVE SPARE DDR5 in my closet!”

I tell him: “I will pay for shipping, fair value of the RAM, and 20% extra for your trouble”

The moral of this story is fuck these greedy bastards, you can train your 10T models but please leave gamers alone; they are a tiny % of the demand for DRAM chips.

P.S: Pay the kindness forward, help your fellow friends with any spare parts

Nope. A couple of them have been built and they’re just sitting there unpowered

Imagine you had infinite money and no consequences

I mean you could like— build entire city size data centers right?

But this infinite money goes away if you’re not building them

So your choices are to build something that you don’t need or to have no money

You see, humans were not very evolved or adapted to their planet, given their own social structures

I mean; you’re right, they’re probably taking some kind of supplements and are on a very regimented diet

Obviously we don’t need to be in the same caliber or grade as them, it’s more to do with the general attitude or headspace they’re in

I don’t think fitness should be competitive, other than with oneself, and those small lifestyle changes amount to being able to sustain said athletic lifestyle late into life

(See: That 90 year old guy always doing winter morning walks in the park!)

I began working out heavily in my 20s because I was scared of being unable to in my 30s.

The key was discipline and training, your body remembers, and you age but you keep half.

I look at Arnie for inspiration, he was happy and still pumping iron in his 60s and 70s, proving it’s all about a good mental attitude and consistency

My eScooter weighs 42 pounds.

A 28 pound motor that’s 750 kW?

Holy fuck.

That’s power density straight out of science fiction

An important question for science, what Linux distro are you currently on?

And if not Linux, what OS do you use?

Brings microphone uncomfortably close

I used a flip/dumbphone for most of my teenage and high school years.

It’s like asking what would make me go back to having a DOS computer and playing Wolf3D after being in full body virtual reality with Half Life Alyx.

What’s an “immutable” distro? Is this like the OSS version of a closed/prop kernel?

KDE Plasma is genuinely good

Kubuntu is a drop-in replacement for Windows 10

Before piracy there were demos and shareware, which let you see if your machine could handle the game or content and give you a vertical slice, and let you show it to friends for word of mouth advertising.

Then, Steam put a two hour refund window with no questions asked, which helped a lot of “this crashes on start, I can’t open this at all on a RTX 4090/high end PC, 15 FPS in the fog, etc”.

Developers learned from that and they began padding/gating content behind two hours of gameplay, so you wouldn’t know until 3-4 hours in that the game was grindy dogshit (SCUM, Ark, Empyrion, and countless other Early Access and sometimes full release titles like NMS on launch day for example).

So the correct thing to do, and it’s what I do: Pirate the game, make sure it runs/works and is fun and there’s no “gotcha” traps or hidden DLCs or other predatory mechanics involved, and THEN pay for the full title on Steam+DLCs and just continue the save.

My Steam Account has actually already been flagged over a dozen times for this because my primary savegames are like Razor1911.sav, and so far it’s still in good status because I am actually spending a couple thousand/year on content.

I have overclocked my AMD 7900XTX as far as it will go on air alone.

Undervolted every step on the frequency curve, cranked up the power, 100% fan duty cycles.

At it’s absolute best, it’s competitive or trades blows with the 4090D, and is 6% slower than the RTX 4090 Founder’s Edition (the slowest of the stock 4090 lineup).

The fastest AMD card is equivalent to a 4080 Super, and the next gen hasn’t shown anything new.

AMD needs a 5090-killer. Dual socket or whatever monstrosity which pulls 800W, but it needs to slap that greenbo with at least a 20-50% lead in frame rates across all titles, including raytraced. Then we’ll see some serious price cuts and competition.

It’s really uplifting when you put it that way, yes
