Linux is the only viable solution to this mess. And no it is not as scary as it seema
Does Lemmy have a "Stallman was right" community? Or is that just all of Lemmy.
Most of it, yes.
i was thinking the same thing
!stallmanwasright@lemmy.ml
EDIT thanks Cricket
If you replace the c/ with ! it will become a clickable link that will take the visitor to their local instance's copy of that community.
!stallmanwasright@lemmy.ml
thanks :)
No problem, thanks too! :)
See ya on Windows 7 with 0patch micropatches :D
FreeBSD has been on a bit of a glowup arc too though, at least for general desktop use. No, but really, there needs to be a viable third option other than Windows and Linux in the desktop PC space.
I'm so glad that they're clinging on! FreeBSD is great and they've made some serious moves these past years.
NetBSD even explicitly banned AI from their codebase to boot, as quoted from their Commit Guidelines:
Unlike Linux, whose recent embrace of AI in the codebase is worrying to say the least, you flat-out cannot submit AI-generated code to NetBSD unless it's approved in writing*.
*originally in another reply, but deleted that and moved it here.
It's not fear, it's laziness and just general fed-upness of dealing with computers and the overwhelming complexity of everything nowadays. There's nothing fun or thrilling about computers anymore, it's a black box to me now.
What's wrong with amd? In the market for a gpu right now
Nothing. The current generation card is slightly worse in rasterization performance while handily slapping my 7900 XTX in Ray tracing performance.

I use NVIDIA on Linux and nothing no issues or performance hits
I'm just shocked Fedora is playing well with a quadro series card, and I'm not looking back. If there's some bottleneck, it's no larger than the one on my general experience with windows. Though I would very much like to be runnung a non-tainted kernel.
It’s fine. Not sure where you heard it’s terrible.
If by disparity you mean sometimes Windows is better and sometimes Linux is better. I have one of those GPUs. Give it a try before you slam it. Valve has thrown so much money into Proton that support is amazing compared to when I tried a decade ago.
