I believe you could use qemu for 64-bit emulation on a 32-bit system

Omg absolutely, what a workhorse. I ended up slapping on a custom vBIOS, aggressive overclock, and swapped the AIB’s air cooler for a little closed loop 120mm water cooler. I ran it until it died in 2020, and if it was still functional today, I’d still be using it. RIP what a loss. The 6GB of VRAM were starting to get tight and DX12 was starting to age it, though, but it was still totally holding up for what I use a GPU for.

Now I am on a 6900XT with the navi21 XTXH chip in it. I bet I’ll skip at least as many generations with this as I did with the 980Ti. It’s so fast and efficient. In some games, the fans don’t even spin, and it just passively cools with the heatsink.

I play on a CRT in either 1600x1200@85Hz or 1024x768@120Hz capping it at 170fps in 85Hz or 360fps in 120Hz, and it holds those solid and stable in the games that I play. I’m not interested in 4k gaming or anything silly like that (but I’m sure others would say that I’m the silly one lol). The biggest factor that was holding me to the 980Ti was the flawless onboard DAC and native analog output. In order to use the 6900XT, I dropped a bunch of money on a DAC with a VMM2322 for it

Wait for real??? You make an NVIDIA account now? I haven’t had an NVIDIA card since my 980Ti… Is this account insanity true for the proprietary Linux driver too?

Ha, had no idea it was pronounced like that. I’ve always said MATE like “date”/“rate”/“fate”

KDE Plasma. I like having a familiar start menu and keyboard shortcuts

The only alternative is closed-source, which is just “trust me bro”. At least with open-source you have the option to check it for yourself. Doesn’t have to be a perfect system

You’re welcome to fork Linux at any time 👋 see ya!

That’s a lot better than closed source, which is just “trust me bro”.

You’re asking the right questions! @Splashy5928@lemmus.org has the right answer

LOVE jShelter. Use it on all my devices (woooo mobile firefox addon compatibility!!).

It is an EYE OPENER to see all the websites that will refuse to serve you when they can’t identity exactly who you are…

Same! Typing this on a cheap as dirt android 😁

They’re like $300 now. Cheaper than a console, 1/3 the cost of an iPhone, 1/6 the cost of a gaming laptop…

Thought this too until I was gifted a headset, and found out I was dead wrong.

Btw they genuinely aren’t even that expensive anymore. Cheaper than a console, a phone is 3x the cost, and a gaming laptop 6x the cost.

It’s a little unclear what you mean, like because more than half a million Russian soldiers have already been killed so far and yet the war keeps going, that the people must be responsible for supporting?

Russia is conscripting, so most are not there by choice but required by law. If you draft dodge and get caught, you go to prison, and still just end up on the frontline anyway, since they are emptying their prisons to use as soldiers, too. And these people will be shot and killed by their own side if they attempt a retreat, while fed propaganda and misinformation about their treatment if they surrender. There has been significant human trafficking to support their war effort. They’ve also depended heavily on mercenary forces outside of their military in order to have skilled soldiers, and are now even receiving soldiers from North Korea in order to continue fighting.

Besides that, there are so many factors that go into why a person would decide to join the military and in reality, they are usually economic ones or from extensive propaganda.

100% agree with you! Like I said, I don’t think we can hold all Russian people directly responsible for the actions of their government.

I wish for an ideal world where politics could stay out of Linux, but this is extremely tricky and cannot be treated black and white. Labeling things as “political” and then crying to keep “politics” out of things is often used as a weapon for exclusion, for example by sexuality or race, and I think exclusion should be anathema for Linux and open source projects.

Right??? They act like they are concerned about what events could have taken place to ensure that the invasion never happened. Guess what could have occurred that would have been the biggest guarantee that the invasion could never happen? Ukraine joining NATO prior to the invasion…

if russians get banned from the kernel bc russia invaded ukraine

You should read the article because this is not a thing that has occurred, at least not yet.

Big yikes!!!

ALL conflicts involve at least two sides

Okay then, so describe the 2 sides and the punishments they deserved during the Nazi Germany invasion of Poland/Europe and the holocaust. I hate to bring Nazis into it as an argument, but you did say “ALL” and it easily shows how ridiculous that take is.

Your justification of genocide is both ludicrous and gross.
