    You want a semi or rolling release distro. Fedora is semi-rolling, would be the most user-friendly I think. Anything Arch-based but more user-friendly, like CachyOS, would be good as well. Tim leweed is rarely recommended unless you need like bleeding edge, which it doesn’t sound like you really want.









  • Well this is one of the worst takes I’ve seen around here 🤣

    1. Not sure where you’re getting this from. The value comes from buying a known Linux compatible platform at a similar price point to any other manufacturer. The Desktop is the first AMD Ryzen Max+ platform on the market in that form factor, and those chips are well above the performance of any other Ryzen chip on the market. Fair price as well.

    2. This comment is disingenuous at best, and just wrong overall. They were slow on their firmware updates during their initial pilot shipments while the platform was still in validation, so they were making delayed changes to firmware in light of that until they cleared that hurdle. Been regular updates since. Also, firmware rarely decides the overall security of a hardware platforms unless known vulnerable portions are found and then intentionally NOT fixed, which is not what happened with all of that.

    3. Absolutely wrong. The price point is the same as any other machine in the same segment, which is not the general consumer crap Lenovo kicks out, but the slightly elevated professional segment. If you’re not looking for that in a new device, guess what, they have refurbs at have the price. Both conditionals right there completely invalidate whatever point you’re trying to make, especially when you’re buying for the stability on Linux as OP mentioned, and it’s a crapshoot at best with any other manufacturer in their cheaper segments of machines.

    I don’t know if you’re shilling for some specific point here, but you need to get informed.







  • I 100% know what DLSS is, though by the sounds of it you don’t. It is “AI” as much as any other thing is “AI”. It uses models to “learn” what it needs to reconstruct and how to reconstruct it.

    No, you don’t. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_Learning_Super_Sampling

    This is blatantly and monumentally wrong lol. You think it’s literally rendering a dozen frames and then just picking the best one to show you out of them? Wow. Just wow lol.

    Literally in the docs: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/NVIDIA/DLSS/main/doc/DLSS_Programming_Guide_Release.pdf

    What it does is allow you to run a game at higher settings than you could usually at a given framerate, with little to no loss of image quality. Where you could previously only run a game at 20fps at 1080p Ultra settings, you can now run it at 30fps at “1080p” Ultra, whereas to hit 30fps otherwise you might have to drop everything to Low settings.

    No it doesn’t. It allows you to run a game at a higher resolution for no reason at all, instead of dropping to a lower resolution that your card can handle natively. That’s it.

    Keep claiming otherwise, and you’re just literally denying reality and the Nvidia link to the docs right in front of you.
