The Nvidia card I bought about 3yrs ago to replace my old AMD one. Kinda wish I’d stuck with AMD, but they really need to up their game in terms of gaming performance tbh.
Always a generation behind, both in performance and tech. Which is kinda a pain, as I love em and have a 5800X CPU and would love an all AMD setup eventually.
I’ve had Ubuntu and derivative distros break on me infinitely more times than I’ve ever had Arch or its derivatives break at all.
Usually going from one major update of *buntu/Pop based distro to another.
Using Endeavour ATM, but tempted to give NixOS a crack and see what it’s like…
I tried installing Fedora a few weeks back.
It did not like my 3080 and broke horribly.
Back to Endeavour…
I’m using it in addition to Mastodon for different communities.
Bluesky has a lot (but far from all) of the old WoW community I was a part of on Twitter. So that’s what I mainly use it for.
Mastodon on the other hand I use for pretty much everything else: other gaming, privacy, tech, AuDHD posts, infosec, linux etc.
Different horses, different courses.
Yeah, that purchase worries the hell outta me tbh.
Been using Affinity Designer and Photo for years, and happily paid for version 1 and the upgrade to version 2.
Now, I’m worried they’ll go for a new sub-based tier and limit features to the sub-version over the perpetual license, or hold features back for a version or two of the perpetual license version.
Or the amount of AI-related bullshit they’ll stuff the apps full of now, that will require a separate payment model for generation of images or fill-ins.
Eurgh.
