That is what I meant by configure. You’re not going to HP to download your printer driver or realtek to get one for your network adaptor.
I mean… You can.
Just because Linux bundles a lot of drivers with your distribution doesn’t mean “drivers don’t exist”.
And it’s not only “closed source garbage”:
I invite you to take a peak at the “drivers” folder in the Linux kernel source tree.
There are absolutely drivers in Linux. This is nonsensical. That they are often bundled with the kernel makes no difference.
It doesn’t do storage. It puts it in SharePoint somewhere. Where? Nobody knows. You may find it someday and bookmark it. It will also show up in OneDrive and maybe even Outlook! Because Microsoft doesn’t believe in your concepts of “location” man.
I didn’t say it was tantamount to rape. Don’t try to make out that I’m saying anything like that. You know I’m not. Stop the absurdity.
sigh I love a good old internet “I didn’t say that - yes you did - no I said <blank> - you really meant <blank> though” bullshit argument…
I said “like it’s rape or something” - I didn’t say you’re saying it’s “tantamount to rape”. Settle down. I’m just talking about the language people use like they’re being personally violated by snaps.
Now show me on the doll where snap touched you…
I love how people say “forcibly installed” like it’s rape or something… You haven’t been violated, you’ve been, at worst, mildly inconvenienced.
I can understand people not preferring them. But the whole “forced on me” victim stuff is over the top.
Sure - but I guess I just don’t care? I don’t understand the snap hate. They work fine. Better than flatpaks even. I install some things from flatpak (desktop GUI only stuff) and some things from apt/snaps.
I guess it matters if you use GUI tools to install things. I almost never do so I hadn’t even noticed.
Flatpak works on Ubuntu…
You may also need to manually reinstall the driver after kernel updates.
As with any module installed outside the kernel. If you install it via your package manager is should setup dkms to handle that for you.
I was wondering if there would be any conflict in having an AMD CPU and an Nvidia GPU.
No.
That is pretty cool actually - I didn’t know about that!
Would anyone care if they did? I didn’t see anyone reviving xmms and that is open source.
For the third time, not a consequence. Consequence implies some sort of sacrifice.
You mean like not being able to use a system with an Nvidia card? 🤣
OMG dude. This is pathetic.
Consequence: “a result or effect of an action or condition.”
e.g “being stuck buying only amd kit”
Oh no, absolutely nothing else to add. I don’t want to confuse you with “software engineer speak”. Enjoy the self-imposed ignorance.
This is the literal definition of a consequence. 🤣
My guy, I don’t even know what these words mean. And with AMD, I don’t have to become a software engineer. It just works.
Fucking hell…
No consequences here. I’m perfectly happy continuing on using AMD.
Sure - and you’re limited to systems that use an AMD chip. Consequences. I’m sure you justify this to yourself though.
Why do you think AMD always work out of the box and people constantly have problems with Nvidia? Is it because they’re “ignorant” or because it’s unnecessarily convoluted?
I don’t think - I know. Because one is integrated with the kernel and built and distributed with it and the other is a separate module. This isn’t something unique to nvidia either - my system has modules from system76 as well as v4l2loopback that are also compiled separately.
But since I install my packages using “apt” they are all managed by dkms and I don’t need to worry about it. Because I took a few minutes to learn about how my computer works.
I suppose if you don’t know what you’re doing - that’s true. It’s not something unique to nvidia either - it’s true of any drivers outside the kernel source. But that’s what dkms is for - it automatically handles it for you when you update your kernel.
If you don’t want to learn how the system you use works then you suffer the consequences. Or you just continue to blame nvidia for your own ignorance as I’m sure you will.
Did you use your package manager and dkms? You need to recompile the driver hook with each kernel update.
I’ve had Nvidia cards since the Riva TNT2 and it’s been reasonably smooth sailing… 🤷♂️
Just like in DOS. Most things worked with one setup - but you always had that weird game that needed the mtmcdas.sys driver rather than mtmcdae.sys driver or something.
I love the arrogance of telling somebody what they mean even though that person clearly indicates it’s not what they mean. Like you know better what’s in my mind.
You’ve descended into “I just need to be right” now. No point discussing anything.
