Nvidia, FUCK YOU 🖕🏻

That's why I bought an AMD APU instead of a passively cooled Nvidia card.

What happened this time?

@frogstair
Who bought one of those? I specifically skipped the 2000 series because buying 1st gen anything is asking for pain.

@frogstair it was obviously overpriced as fuck. It's their own stupidity to buy such product

I am continually impressed with their specs. And continually disappointed with their Linux driver support.

But like, I only play retro or low-graphic games now, so 🤷🏻‍♀️

@AkshayTolwani Well, I’m not.
I’m not a fan of Ubuntu, I won’t touch red hat anything (even with a stick), and I haven’t had the time to delve into Arch or derivatives — though that’s probably my next stop. Admittedly, I don’t know anything about opensuse.

I’m currently running Devuan, though not seriously. It’s just a recovery tool for my Debian box — which nVidia drivers killed, coincidentally.

@frogstair Still waiting for some real, unbiased benchmarks. On some leaks from VideoCardz, the delta between the 2080Ti and 3080 is as little as 5 points.

@Root Manjaro looks pretty nice, is much easier to install than Arch and undergoes more testing so that the edge isn't bleeding as much.

@Fast-Nop Ahh, but the name! 😭

Also, it still uses systemd. Yuck.

@Root what's wrong with red hat?

@Root What's wrong with the name? And yeah, systemd, but that's pretty common these days because as much as it sucks - let's be honest, the traditional scripting labyrinth isn't exactly a beauty either.

@Root Systemd isn't great for sure. But that gets the job done without going mad at configuring one's distro.
I've used it on Manjaro and now on Arch (for a few years) and I haven't had any issues with it.

@iiii Among other things, they hail to corporate overlords, and cater to them instead of devs. So it can be difficult to find source libraries, for example.

@Root What about Void Linux?

https://voidlinux.org/

@Jilano Sounds decent, but oh god, the drama on that page.

@Root Ha! Sorry, should have given you the download link instead

Meanwhile I honestly have to think about selling by AMD GPU, because I can't have fun with ML and nvidia made my card obsolete 😞
