Kubuntu is what I use to game/VR/stream, it also asks during install if you want non-free repo which will install your nvidia drivers then you can choose which version you use in the settings menu, I used official for VR as that was the recommendation.

My current rig is all AMD (for compatibility) my previous rig was ryzen and rtx 2070 super upgraded to 4070 ti super, works great for streaming and gaming, the gf had an intel with 4 numbers, my rig before my previous rig, and it worked as well under linux as win 10.

As others have suggested, get the ISO’s of several distros: Kubuntu/Ubuntu/Mint/Fedora/Cachy/etc and try them all before you blow your current setup away. My last system was my transition system, kept win 10 and installed a second drive for Kubuntu and used “bios” to chose when to boot it (duel boot on same drive will be problematic after a specific win update, you won’t know which until you do lol) then found replacement software that I needed to move over 100%.

Good luck

The life span of CD/DVD is not on the printed media but on the media we make/made our backups on. Of my many spindles from back in 2k (some disks are almost 25 yrs old), so far maybe 5 disks have gone partially or completely unreadable, lucky I didn’t lose much. Baring scratches or other physical damage, the printed disks will last decades where my disks have outlasted prediction

Got into work, Firefox updated, was met with 2 pages, first one was about the AI kill switch with a link to the AI stuff on a single page, second page is as always a blank start page

Just re-watched Tron last night and a scene really struck me. Dumont was talking to Lora about how since the computers are able to think the humans will stop. That scene had more impact this time through

People pirate when

d) They are a large org like Nvidia or an AI co

Kubuntu has it off by default, user needs to enable it, I would guess it is the same in Ubuntu

Now that you mention it, I think I did hear that velcro ripping noise

Have you looked at your power bill and seen how much of the bill is not power consumption?

Not in US, but after our power went private it literally doubled. The nice lady tried to convince me the “extra” charges were always there but not itemized, but while holding the previous bill with the same (within a few points) my usage was the same but the “fees” were as much as my power usage

Probably, he was one of the better profs there

Oh I did find many many with similar names, but nothing that indicated me. It was fun and I did expect him to give me zero on it, but when one does not have social media one has difficulty finding oneself online hehe

ikr, luckily every time I check I still have no ghost FB account nor can I find myself on google.

Took a course at college in '12 and one of the classes the assignment was to search for ourselves online, the prof clearly stated that “I couldn’t find myself” was not an acceptable outcome. So when I went to deliver the news that I was going to get a zero because in 30+ pages of google I could not find any mentions of myself, I was the first and prolly only person to get full marks on that assignment

I feel you there. I have said this from the beginning but everyone said I was overreacting and here we are, and they are in it up to their eyeballs. Even my gf orders a ton from there, thankfully I have few needs and am a bad capitalist

If cloud gaming is all that’s available, read books, go for walks, hang out with friends instead. Do what we did before the internet. Do not let them win, stop using it.

I said the same for Amazon (personally ordered 1 item from Amazon, received maybe 5 items from Amazon as gifts, I otherwise do not use them but I am 1 insignificant point well outside the graph) and expect the same results

Only way to delete your account properly is to never have made one or let ignorant people post YOUR image to FB

Ask Adrian Lamo. He “hacked” a few sites just by clicking links

Oh, good, ty. I just made an account last night and will check it out to see if it fits my needs, but this was nagging in the back of my head as others have just decided to bend the knee regardless of jurisdiction.

As an EU co, how will they navigate age verification

Also, before you switch, ensure your hardware is compatible with linux (make a live usb to test it out without touching your current setup, you will most likely need to turn off “Secure Boot”) and that you can find the software that you need to do what you do.

Hmm, guess I’m gonna have to spin up a chat service if this “teen” setting is too restrictive. The only guarantee I have is that anything given for age verification is going to be hacked with 0 compensation, I will not submit either my face or my ID. My account is 9 yrs this year, will they consider an almost 10 yr old account to be that of an adult?

Is there another good chat app like this? With similar features (only really need voice/text maybe pictures. Channels that won’t vanish if everyone logs off)? Haven’t been on IRC since 2k2, has it advanced since then? Back in the IRC days we used Team Speak (forget if it was TS or TS2 but on linux you had 0 restrictions on number of users).
