  • The problem is kind of exactly what you described

    Normies are used to „run exe and it will work”, so when installing Linux most of the time they will either

    • not install any driver
    • try to run the exe
    • install the Linux driver, but from the website instead of the repos
    • or (as you described) try and install the driver, but fail at looking up which driver (nvidia has 4 of them for the rtx, gtx, and gt) they need to install


  • mainly for the integrated graphics to use jellyfin’s hardware transcoding. Is the UHD 730 enough for that?)

    My 4th gen Intel i5 can do that

    No idea what to get for MB

    You get the cheapest thing available with your socket that has at least 4 sata slots for migration

    Server quality storage is extremely expensive, not sure if its worth buying.

    Just get 2 WD blues

    For case I saw some suggestion for cases with a ton of hotswappable drive bays

    Or, you know, if you are making a whole post crying about your financial situation, maybe you can just move your ass and manually swap the HDDs.

    PSU I want to get any gold PSU with low wattage from a reputable brand

    If you want something energy efficient, why in gods name do you want to buy a desktop CPU?

    16gb of any decent ram I suppose?

    If you want to be fancy I guess, but my 25€ half dead optiplex that dosent even pass its own self test is currently running on 8 gigs of DDR 3 storage from different brands I got out of dumpsterdiving in a junkyard right before they threataned to call the police on me, and I live in goddamn Germany, so maybe make up your mind if you want to be crying about being poor or actively going out of your way to buy fancy Server Equipment I can only dream about in my setup.







  • Yes, but:

    To get to this point, OpenAI had to suck up almost all data ever generated in the world. So in order for it to become better, lets say it has to have 3 times as much data. That alone would take more than 3 Lifetimes to get the data alone, IF we don´t consider the AI slop and assume that all data is still Human made, which is just not true.

    In other words: What you describe will just about never happen anymore, at least as long as 2025 will still be remembered














  • I find cinnamon kind of useless

    It just has this beige win 7 look, that is somehow both new and old at the same time. You dont have the Macros and Costumisation of Plasma, but you also dont have the rigidness and tablet-style interface of Gnome. You dont have the ressource friendlyness of xfce. The only thing it has is that it can both render qt and gtk in its own style, but xfce already does that with its very win xp like interface, which both qt and gtk have themes for
