On Windows or Linux?
On Windows or Linux?
I’m doing a CIS degree right now, and I did 99% of my first year on fedora. I did need a full windows install because some exams took place using a lock down software.
Honestly, the hardest part was remembering to boot into windows the day before so it could update and stabilize for the exam the next day
Ive had great success with their all amd systems, and older machines go on sale often, so you can score a Ryzan 6850 w/ 16GB of RAM for 700-800CAD if little else matters.
DXVK. 2016 was when I moved to Linux as my primary operating system because with DXVK, most of my games ran overnight.
Edit: Oops I missed the mark, DXVK occurred in 2018, I was off by two years. My bad.
I like niri, but I’ll be damned if I can get any kind of stability out of it. I’ll have myself a flawless time at home testing, but as soon as my laptop enters University Grounds it stops launching apps, or crashes, or whatever else.
Right now I’m using Gnome/PaperWM since Infinite horizontal has changed my workflow so dramatically, and Gnome is more stable for me.
This will be the single biggest change you can make. Swapping an hdd for a cheap 256gb ssd will make a bigger difference than any DE changes.
It’s a three thousand dollar monitor, what did they expect?
Wild that he drops this video right after I had a conversation with a friend all about this. Now I don’t have to explain how Microsoft has been handicapping ARM for years.
I watched Linus Tech Tips, and NCIX Tech Tips before that. My wife and I were discussing how the level of information was tanking but the production quality was great, then GN released their video a few weeks after we stored watching LTT and I unsubsidized.
The wonderful result of Microsoft and Qualcomms exclusivity agreement.
There are other ones, this is just the obvious one. I’ve only spotted one other in the wild and I forget where it was.
Here’s one on Google maps https://maps.app.goo.gl/55qqbQRYY7abKPVy9 I drove past this for years without thinking about it until one day I drove under it.
Now that I know what it is, it’s pretty obvious, but how often does the average person really inspect houses as they drive by?
Edit: maps links suck, 3911 Frances St, Burnaby, BC V5C 2P4
Underground railways use houses for ventilation as well.
This is the frustrating part of it. The public doesn’t understand what’s actually happening, or what the goal of these large language models is, so because they’re very convincing conversationalists, your average Joe considers them as true AI.
There’s a few things from dos that have a permanent place my soul. A:/KEEN.exe, idkfa, iddqd and gorillas.
I’m using nobara right now, but somewhere over the last year my bluetooth has stopped working.
This has led me down the road of a reinstall, nobara had been great for gaming but now that I’m looking at spending more time developing I’m also looking at an immutable os.
There has been some really enlightening discussion here.
Bittorrent is nice for getting isos, but it would pul my hair out if I tried to download patches with it.
Ive been 100% linux since 2016, and while there are some pain points, the games that work, work amazingly well.
I have epic games, gog, steam games all working through launchers that work pretty perfectly. The biggest pain points are developers with intrusive anticheats.
Check the games you/your friends play against protondb.com or areweanticheatyet.com before committing yourself.
I asked my dad if he had any money saved to help with college and he told me that people like us don’t go to college. I dropped out in grade 11. I hope to graduate university in three years from now at the ripe old age of 41.
I’ve enjoyed my time on fedora. It’s recent enough that my hardware works when I upgrade, and stable and supported enough that I haven’t had to go out of my way to get something working.
