Trigger-happy braindead take

Haven’t heard this set before but I love this group! One of my favorite bands to listen to while working

Nice teardown! I liked the gif inclusion

Netanyahu would have to go back to Philadelphia

Well shit. I’m committed but it looks like my worries weren’t unfounded.

I can deal with worse performance but definitely not freezing/crashing…hopefully I’m not forced back to Windows

My lack of Linux knowledge is showing…I was under the impression Arch was more for “hardcore” users, is that an outdated mindset (or was it ever true)?

Unfortunately not really an option, the card is “on loan” indefinitely. TLDR: friend runs a 3D lab and orders new PCs + spare cards every two years but those spares have never been used outside of his own PC. So I’ll have a spare until it’s time to upgrade (or if 5 GPUs in the lab die)

What was so bad about it? Was this in the past year? I’m reading a LOT of conflicting stuff

Problem solved, thanks!

The thing that really matters for me as far as gaming goes is frame rate. HDR would be nice but I’ve gone this long without it. I’ll have to look into what I might miss - I do love Shadowplay.

Any issues with ultrawides? I might use this freed up budget to get one

Anything that sets it apart for you? I’ve seen the name in passing but don’t know anything about it

Ah well that makes it easier!

Good call about the updates. I read a bit about the release schedules and assumed I’d want the “more stable” release schedules but that’s a good point about using new hardware.

Good to know about the drivers, too! All of the performance comparisons I read this morning were from earlier this year and Linux was behind by quite a bit with Nvidia.

Does Kubuntu come as “preconfigured” as the more gaming-focused distros? I’ve heard one of the benefits of those is that a lot of the GPU stuff (drivers, config) works out of the box

Redownloading games isn’t a big deal, I just don’t want to take the time to make space and transfer it if it’s gonna freak out lol

Couple of followup questions…

1. Do any distros perform better out-of-the-box with Nvidia?

I didn’t expect to switch so soon so I’m just now deciding. I’m currently torn between Pop OS and Mint. I don’t think I want steamOS because gaming is only half of what I use my PC for - I’d rather a more desktop-oriented distro

My only Linux experience is a few servers and laptops over the years but I’m comfortable following along with CLI tutorials

2. Are my current game files useless or can I copy them over?

90% of my games are on a secondary 2tb NVME. I have a home server I can back them up them up to before reformatting but I’m guessing I can’t just point Steam to that folder and have it rebuild my library, right?

3. When it’s time to upgrade the rest of the machine, should I go AMD for the cpu?

Conventional wisdom used to be pairing Intel with Nvidia and AMD with AMD. Is that still the case? Should I stick to Intel?

His response video at the end of the page is hilarious. I was kind of expecting a douchebag but he seems nice as hell

Silly little questions as in common sense stuff. “How often do I really need to wash a hoodie?”

I was subscribed to it the first week it existed so I know that your story is completely fabricated. The origin is even in the subreddit wiki…

/r/NoStupidQuestions was founded in February 2013 for people to feel free to ask the questions they might be embarrassed or ashamed to ask elsewhere. Inspired by this thread and specifically this comment

Look at the questions in that thread. It was always about silly little questions

I appreciate the troll. It’s always bugged me that this community took the name from reddit without the actual theme. This place should be for “common sense” questions you feel stupid having to ask but instead it’s mostly been ELI5, asklemmy, and a variety of loaded questions.

This is gonna turn into a dumb shitpost community, isn’t it?

Didn’t realize we had a psychologist who specialized in child stars on Lemmy who could diagnose strangers so well. Pretty cool

This reminds me of that Tumblr post about how the left is so focused on “never being wrong” and how the in-fighting about the most irrelevant shit holds us back
