Like seriously… We don’t have as many issues with racism against black peeps in Germany (as the US has), but that’s because very few live here at all.

“Our” racism targets eastern Europeans and (in my region) Turkish ppl, but I guess that’s not racist because they’re close enough in skin tone? (/s obviously)

I was looking into a Framework Desktop, but even adding a 150€ PSU on top of the 7900XTX right now (before I have resold my old GPU) would be stretching things. It’s definitely on my wishlist, but not realistic with my current income.

And I’m definitely too impatient to wait until 2028, especially since it isn’t a guarantee…

Thanks for your input though :) appreciate it.

I’m not really interested in shortening the lifespan of my hardware with overclocking, especially considering current prices for replacements, so I’m safe on that front :)

I’ll look into undervolting once the card actually gets here and I can test stuff. Sadly the two variants that are actually available for a sane price here (reference design cards are over 40% more expensive) seem to be manufacturer OCd, but afaik I should easily be able to underclock as well using the tools available, in case it becomes necessary.

Thanks for your input :) I’ll definitely also look into a kill-a-watt (or whatever similar tool is available here), I was interested in the actual power consumption of my system anyways.

I’ve had very few problems with KDE Plasma (on Fedora) since I swapped to it like a year ago. Discover is being weird every now and then, but I mostly use dnf directly anyways.
