Ah the ol Murphy’s law

For CPUs it’s pretty bad. It says the Intel i3-9100f (4 core, 4 thread 3.6GHz) is just as good as the AMD Ryzen 7 3700x (8 core, 16 thread 3.6GHz) even though the actual difference is massive.

I study in a technical university in the west. Apart from my own laptop, I’ve only spotted one Linux computer, which was an IT student’s laptop. Though I don’t study IT myself

They just did. What are you gonna do about it?

Alsa is the very base of the Linux audio system. Pipewire and pulseaudio run on top of it. Back before pulseaudio it was directly used by software

Sir, it’s 2024, not 2006.

Pipewire is a more modern replacement for pulseaudio.

UEFI has supported ARM for years now…

Ventoy with every ISO I’ve needed to install, and Snappy Driver Installer Origin with its full set of drivers.

Lutris with wine-ge has made some things work for me that didn’t work with plain wine. So definitely worth it to try.

--no-preserve-root is only required if you try to remove /. For /* I don’t think it’s needed.

Nvidia has become pretty painless in the last few years. A year ago a guy told me to try wayland so I did and surprisingly I’ve been on wayland ever since on my desktop. The last time I don’t think I was even able to see my desktop. Now the 555 drivers made things even better.

Hi everyone, I’m not even a year old!

They’re not very locked down. Even the apple silicon stuff allows other operating systems, apple just doesn’t tell how to make them work.

Been usinsg kde wayland for about a year now with Nvidia and my only problems have been xwayland flickering in some games and even that got fixed with the 555 drivers.

Hmm I might try one from there, although it requires Windows. I’ll see if it works on Hiren’s boot cd.

kinfo doesn’t show it but it does show in kinfocenter. It shows up in dmidecode -t 1 also.

I did buy it used yes. That’s interesting, I wonder if I can change that or did they order the boards from ASUS with their branding
