From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

RTX 3050 (which got a new 6 gb version less than a year ago) is similar to 1070 Ti in terms of performance and 1080s are of course even better. Definitely a ton of staying power, even in 2024.
I bought a secondhand 1080 a couple years ago when the crypto bubble burst finally and it's still serving my needs just fine. It could play Baldur's Gate 3 just fine on release last year, which was the last "new" game I played on it. Seems like it'll still be good for a few years to come so yeah.
