Best Graphic card for Linux Gaming (lemmy.wtf)

Are they some graphic card benchmark for linux environment ? From my windows experience, drivers are important, and often underestimate. My linux gaming experience is very bad, lots of my game are unstable, and others use a lot more resources than with windows. However, when I ask people, some of them have no issue at all, even...

Unless it’s the newest of new Nvidia GTX cards, it’s generally a wash.

You tradeoff issues from one to the other.

I had a 3070ti that I “upgraded” to a 6900xt and I kind of regretted it. I fell for the AMD is king on Linux hype.

Nvidia is way better than people let on and AMD isn’t nearly as great as people let on.

That’s my two cents.

cybersandwich ,

That’s exactly what they were aiming for. It was their hail Mary because they know they don’t have an actual defense

cybersandwich ,

That’s the way it works. It’s a risk management and mitigation strategy for companies. You hiring contractors and offload the liability.

From what I understand, and IANAL(with the best of em) we’d have to change the laws to go after companies for their contractor’s liability/negligence.

I think you’d be able to go after Perdue or seaboard if you could prove they were grossly negligence or derelict or knowingly hired this contractorbecause they used kids.

But they can play that legal “plausible deniability” card otherwise.

After Raids, NYPD Denied Student Protesters Water and Food in Jail (theintercept.com)

Yea and even the holding cells have those. Usually behind a half wall where it’s not really private but its sorta blocking your business.

Those sink/toilet combos are what had Dems claiming migrants were “drinking out of toilets”.

Now now now. We can do both thank you very much.

That’s why my windows partition is still in regular use. I play apex legends. It used to play flawlessly on pop is but over a year ago at this point it started screwing up.

I’d usually be able to get it working after a while, but when I have 30-45 minutes or maybe an hour at most to game, I don’t want to spend all of it “fixing”. I’d rather restart into windows and be playing in a minute.

The second Trump starts losing favor with his voters or ability to fundraise the party will drop him super hard and fast.

If he loses again, AND the Republicans get mopped down the ballot, you’ll start seeing people drop him or hang him out to dry like rats fleeing a sinking ship

cybersandwich ,

The implication, well one of many, is that the President is the one charging Trump with these crimes. He’s being charged for state crimes, by the various states AGs, in accordance to their laws. He’s also being sued civilly by people he’s defrauded, sexually assaulted, or defamed.

The current president and current administration has had no input in any of this.

The federal cases he has stem from his “mishandling” of classified documents after he was out of office. This case is being handled by a special prosecutor who is insulated from the executive and bound by laws, procedure, legal ethics, etc to act independently from the administration.

So, at the end of the day it’s just more absolute horse shit from Trump and more evidence he should never be on the ballot.

“rocinante” for my proxmox host.

“awkward, past his prime, and engaged in a task beyond his capacities.” From don Quixote’s wiki page.

It seemed fitting considering it is a server built from old PC parts…engaged in tasks beyond its abilities.

The rest of my servers (VMs moslty) are named for what they actually do/which vlan they are on (eg vm15) and aren’t fun or excitin names. But at least I know if I am on that VM it has access to that vlan(or that it’s segregated from my other networks).

This is such horseshit. The drama of the Linux community never ceases to amaze me.

cybersandwich ,

Counter point: I just got a new MacBook at work. It’s an all windows enterprise. There are like 10 of us that got macs. The setup for them is kludgy because all of the tooling is for windows.

That said, Microsoft office and one drive is so much better to use because the “integration” isn’t there…and it works like I want it to work.

It’s hilarious to me that they’ve made their offering worse with all of their efforts to integrate 365 and onedrive into everything.

I think if apple just did a little towards the enterprise they’d take chunks of market share. Like having a macpro with a pic/cac card reader would be a good start.

cybersandwich ,

The m series Mac s with unified memory and ML cores are insanely powerful and much more flexible because your 32gb of system memory is now GPU vram etc

Apex started acting up on pop a year and half ago which drove me back to my windows partition (that I hadn’t seen in almost 18 months).

I don’t know if my issue is: pop, proton, steam, apex, my hardware(bad ram?), flatpaks, the deb, or something else. In my opinion it’s one of the toughest part about Linux gaming–when something goes wrong you arent going to find a ton of help since there is so much fragmentation.

But anyway, I echo your sentiment. Windows is still a necessary evil for a lot of us if you are big into PC gaming.

Spotify CEO Daniel Ek surprised by how much laying off 1,500 employees negatively affected the streaming giant’s operations (fortune.com)

When Spotify announced its largest-ever round of layoffs in December, CEO Daniel Ek hailed a new age of efficiency at the streaming giant. But four months on, it seems he and his executives weren’t prepared for how tough filling in for 1,500 axed workers would be....

cybersandwich ,

If you as a CEO who has been running a company, need to fire 1500 people, your resignation should follow that decision or at the very least a few of your c suite and management team need to be removed with them.

Talk about gross mismanagement.

I’d give a new CEO a pass on this tbh. But if you’ve been running the company so poorly that a sizeable chunk of your employees need to be fired youve failed at your job. You should go.

Senate Approves Aid for Ukraine and Israel, Sending It to Biden’s Desk (www.nytimes.com)

Any country not in NATO is at risk. Russia wouldn’t invade a NATO country. They’d get shit stomped and honestly probably have to resort to a nuclear weapon.

I think the West would cut the head off the snake pretty quickly if Russia invaded a NATO country though.

I was about to pay for it when they doubled the cost. No joke I told my wife I was going to start paying since we watch it all the time. The next week they doubled the cost. It irritated me. Not because I couldn’t afford it but because they added no value with the increase. Nothing changed.

I got audited a few years back. I claimed something that set off a red flag–deducted tuition for a grad program as a business expense.

I freaked out at first because I thought I must have messed something up or that they knew I messed something up.

What I discovered is that: at the end of the day these folks are probably just as annoyed as you that they got another “audit” in their pile. And being flagged doesn’t mean you are wrong. It means they need more information before they can decide.

I wrote a detailed response with the actual flow chart from their own guidance, I circled the decisions on the chart, and then provided proof of each decision in my letter. Basically I held their hand and showed them I could legit deduct it.

They were like “oh, cool thanks! You’re good. Actually, you could have itemized x if you have receipts for it and you’d get a bigg r deduction if you wanted to amend”

That’s when I realized they don’t really check everyone’s taxes at all. They have a system that flags certain situations for further review. I guess, in my case, people lie or mess up this tuition deduction a lot so they double check.

Dave Ramsey is one of those guys where you have to eat the fish but leave the bones.

A lot of what he teaches is really great, practical advice–aimed at people who really might not understand financial basics.

Things like budgeting, saving, investing in mutual funds, and avoiding debt like the plague. That’s all fantastic financial advice. The whole "borrower is servant to the lender stuff pulled right out of the Bible is stuff that most on here would agree with. Debt is a way to force people into financial serfdom.

But occasionally he says stupid shit like this. And maybe it’s taken out of context, but probably not. He always has advocated busting your ass to get out of debt and start saving. He calls it getting “gazelle” intense about it(basically saying banks, lenders, etc are lions trying to kill you). Again, not too far off from whatost people agree with.

So, he’s advocated getting multiple jobs if you need to until you can right your financial ship.

But he’s also an proponent of advocating for yourself and getting better jobs and ditching the second job as soon as you can. So I dunno. He says dumb stuff but he’s also pretty practical overall. Like I said eat the fish, leave the bones.

What part of that says “got his money from his dad”?

It says he sold property to put himself through school at age 18.

cybersandwich ,

He was a real estate agent. It doesn’t say he owned property at 18.

You know real estate agents don’t own the properties they sell, right?

cybersandwich ,

I’m blown away that you’ve managed to be offended by this.

cybersandwich ,

Can you enforce a background check on every sale without a national gun registry?

cybersandwich ,

I wonder if you could make it where you could be considered an accessory to a crime if you sold a gun without a background check to a person who then committed a crime with it.

But I hear you, dont let perfection be the enemy of good.

cybersandwich ,

As a liberal gun owner myself I agree with you 100%. The closet thing to enforcement, I think, would be what I posted earlier: hold the seller legally liable in some sense for any crime committed with a gun that was sold to an individual without a background check. Add additional penalties for if the background check would have disqualified the buyer from purchase.

Obviously the sale would have to be proven, but that’s the only thing I can come up with to “enforce” or encourage compliance.

Further, you could pass laws to hold gun owners liable for not reasonably or responsibly securing their firearms in a similar fashion. Sure if someone breaks into your house, prys open your safe or lock box and takes your gun, then you are protected. But if you let your 18 year old have cart blanche access to all of your guns (unlocked or maybe given him access) and he shoots up a school? You are an accessory/liable/criminally negligent.

I’m not a lawyer so I don’t know what that law would need to look like but it does seem like some level of progress.

cybersandwich ,

I get that argument “on paper” but i don’t know that there is evidence to support that in reality. I’d probably say most people already responsibly sell their guns, but there are plenty of people who don’t do any due diligence.

Those well intentioned people don’t have the tools to properly do a background check to confirm and those people that just don’t do any due diligence would both benefit from this type of law.

Obviously criminals who have no intent to ever comply would still do their thing, but it would be a good thing to give the well intentioned people the ability and requirement to do their due diligence.

Also, it sounds like those people that don’t sell to non-ccws already tacitly support this idea. They are using a CCW as a proxy for a background check.

You don’t have to imagine. They said it was level 10-12 winds which is 55-83 mph. That’s a category 1 hurricane.

And to be honest a cat 1 hurricane seems like it shouldnt be able to rip people out of their houses. I guess they are built different over there.

This is a giant L take.

cybersandwich ,

Why not both?

Let’s say MS charges $5M a year.

Their support contract, assuming they get one, for libre office might be $1M.

They could still invest another $1M in OSS and still save $3M

A $1M net gain for OSS and a $3M savings for the govt.

I think he was trying to say apps get access to “root features” through an abstraction layer/API calls that is controlled.

They don’t/wouldn’t have carte blanche root access to the underlying system. It’s kinda like a docker container or VM or flatpaks/snap packages on Linux. They are sandboxed from everything else and have to be given explicit premission to do certain things(anything that would need root privileges/hardware access).

My first thought was “thank God! Maybe I won’t have to scroll past their AI results to get to actual search results”.

Kagi needs better android integration. I hate searching ony phone now because I can’t use kagi easily.

this probably wasn’t supposed to be funny but holy shit lol

cybersandwich ,

Turn it into a utility. Having an Internet connection is arguably more important than a phone line ever was and is up there with electricity.

It’s a utility. Treat it like one.

cybersandwich ,

It doesn’t really integrate that well, but it’s included with most enterprise licenses so what company is going to pay for another option when they get it for “free”.

cybersandwich ,

Same.

My wife just got a new car and a Tesla would have been on our short list 4-5 years ago. We didn’t even consider it now.

Mostly because of musk but also because of their subscription BS, features that don’t transfer if you sell it, and their general failure to deliver on many(all?) of their self driving(and other) promises.

I could have probably talked myself into ignoring most of the shortcomings but with Musk–im not going to touch a Tesla. I don’t want to support that.

My father-in-law just bought a new car and said the same thing.

I’ll probably need a new car in a couple of years and I am excited about all of the other electric vehicles. Rivians, BMWs, etc.

There are some dumb responses in this thread. Lots of misplaced vitriol at Texas and farmers.

You want to have people report this stuff? Don’t act like dickheads when they do.

Stuff like this happens from time to time in agriculture. UK has issues with TB in dairy cows which requires them to cull herds. It’s really shitty and unfortunate but this type of thing has happened for millenia.

It’s better that they report it so we can address it and find ways to prevent it happening in the future.

And unless everyone is willing to go 100% vegan tomorrow, we need farmers, livestock, and the like to keep our meat and dairy supply flowing.

Edit:

I also want to point out that it doesn’t seem like.they definitively determined it came from the cows but that he was “link” and “exposed” to infected cows.

“Genetic tests don’t suggest that the virus suddenly is spreading more easily or that it is causing more severe illness, Shah said. And current antiviral medications still seem to work, he added.”

So this guy could have gotten it from the same bird the cows got it from as well. A dozen other people were tested and none came back positive.

All other cases we’ve seen have come from bird contact. So there is a reasonable chance this guy got it from an infected bird without realizing it.

Also, none of the cows have died (dunno if that’s a good thing or bad thing).
