Maybe it’s just me, but I think entities that deliberately spread and use malware should be punished and held accountable. Too bad these entities help write the laws.
AMD recently launched their 9000 series CPUs. Most reviews showed lackluster performance. Except for Linux. Turns out it was a Windows problem that will be fixed with the next release. Initial tests show big gains depending on the game.
Microsoft is selling Windows as the gaming platform. It’s just marketing. And it’s crumbling just a little bit. I hope this will at least lead to parity with Linux.
Do you have pci-e slots?
I had to decide between a M.2 enclosure and a PCIe card. Since I plan to build a new system (with more M.2 slots) I will have more slots in the future. And maybe I will not like the M.2 enclosure and return it. wink
Then you’d better install it from scratch and have a clean, shiny and new system.
You know how it is, I just got my system right. Of course lots of settings can just be duplicated, but I would prefer not to set up some systemd services, cron jobs, etc. again.
Ugh. I kind of wish you would just go gracefully into the background Peter.
He passed gracefully 2 or 3 “games” ago. The quotation marks, because they were basically abandoned for a new gimmick, without delivering.
I’ve been using Plasma 6 and Wayland since Plasma 6 was stable. IMO, you shouldn’t have any issues using Wayland in todays landscape.
It has gotten a LOT better, but there are still niche cases.
I have a TV hooked up via HDMI and can only output 4K30Hz on Wayland and my system starts chugging. With X11 I can do 60Hz no problem.
I will need to take a hard look if I will go for Nvidia or AMD when I build a new system in a few weeks/months.
A new PC upgrade is on my list after building a NAS and I have almost the same parts on my list, just as regular ATX. Maybe look for a good deal on a WD Black SN850X as a small upgrade over the Crucial NVME.
I will be going for the same cooler as well, since I don’t see the value in an AIO solution for non high-end CPU. The downsides outweigh the superior cooling at that wattage IMO.
I love that I just download the app from the dedicated place, no pointless web surfing for the latest versions.
IMO this is a huge thing, Linux actually does a lot better than Windows. I know the Windows Store exists, but it is lacking in lots of ways.
It’s not easy to find info like the sound of the switch/button with gaming mice.
Maybe the Razer Pro Click, Razer’e answer to the MX Master mice, could work for you.
That’s encouraging, 3ven though these models are out of my price range.
I’m planning to build a new system pretty soon. With Intel 13 an 14th Gen woes, AMD CPU releases and upcoming (Septmber) AM5 Motherboards, my planning is in constant flux.
The Ryzen 9000 series is releasing on the 15th. The 9600X might also be worth a look for $279 (according to AMD).
Edit: scratch that. The first reviews are out and it doesn’t look good for the new CPUs
The components are well balanced. You might want to take a look at PSU Cultists Tier List.
Maybe take a look at the Thermalright (Peerless) Assassin CPU Coolers. They are testing well and are very affordable.
Lastly, you should make sure your mainboard has everything you need (M.2 slots, RAM slots, …). Upgrading a mainboard is not that much money.
I joined one group buy for keycaps. Took 3 years! Switched to Topre keyboards. Now I either need to buy new sliders or sell the keycaps.
Group buys are absolutely not for me.
I used this Guide (KVM +qemu) in a previous installation. I’m an intermediate Linux user and got it working without much trouble. Maybe it will fit your use case
More and more aspects of life require an app or at least a smartphone (QR codes). That already excludes older people from some aspects of daily life. Let’s do the same for kids!
Politicians should do their jobs and regulate tech and social media not ban useful devices.
HDR? Ah, you mean when videos keep flickering on Wayland!
I will switch when I need a new GPU.
When knowledge is deliberately gated by large entities and the author would give it away for free (scientific papers) is a no-brainer for me. Or when a course requires specific textbooks that costs hundreds of dollars.
How was there never a legal battle between KDE and Mortal Kombat?
Why companies aren’t fined for every customers data they didn’t secure properly is beyond me. This should cost them a specific sum per customer or part of their annual global revenue. Make it hurt.
Otherwise they have no reason to spend money to properly secure people’s data.
I actually asked in the TrueNAS forum about this idea. According to some knowledgeable users this might work. For anyone interested, details here. The next major release (planned for end of October), should make this easier.
