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


Here you go friend!:


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


My eScooter weighs 42 pounds.
A 28 pound motor that’s 750 kW?
Holy fuck.
That’s power density straight out of science fiction


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
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
As someone with 5,000 hours logged into virtual reality as of 2025, your comment leaves me a little confused. 😵💫
You mean “VR Ready” as like, a marketing terminology, right?
Because high-quality, full-body motion tracking virtual reality is available to everyone today for around $3,000-$5,000. It used to cost $140,000 in 1996.
I wait and let everyone figure out what the least broken Linux distro is.
Debian is stable. Stable is good, for an operating system; because I actually want to use my computer.
Not play with the operating system for 4-6 hours per day.


The enormous irony here would be if the author used a generative tool to write the article criticizing them, and whoever commented that he doesn’t get the point is exactly right – it’s like 6 to 10 pages of analogies to unrelated topics.


If you are using CPU only, you need to look at very small models or the 2-bit quants.
Everything will be extremely slow otherwise:
GPU:
Loaded Power: 465W
Speed: 18.5 tokens/second
CPU: Loaded Power: 115W
Speed: 1.60 tokens/second
GPUs are at least 3 times faster for the same power draw.
Yt-Dlp has been breaking recently and requiring cookies to be entered in order to work at all.
I’ve never seen a company quadruple dip on something before. It’s like surviving enshittification and then still continuing to push for further revenues.
