Moving beyond linux mint to other distros so I can learn more and have a more customizable linux experience.
I got fed up with windows 10, and then windows 11 pushed me away from ever wanting to use windows again.
Linux mint has been fun but its a bit too barebones when it comes to customization ( though that's one of its strengths since its so easy and straightforward for a longtime windows user to move over to linux)
Also I've had a bunch of trouble with Nvidia drivers and playing new games in 2023, so I'll probably buy/build a new linux desktop in late 2024 on AMD CPU/GPU.
so my old GPU died a few days ago and I was thinking which brand of GPU to get next. AMD or Nvidia? I’ve heard Nvidia drivers are very annoying with Linux but I’ve never had an AMD GPU before. Which would be better? I’ll sometimee switch to Windows to play specific games as well.
I can't play starfield right now because of issues with the Nvidia 535 driver causing the game to crash on starting a new game.
Downgrading to the older 525 driver lets the game play but with severe performance issues and a level of input lag and freezing that is toxic. My playtime says 4.5 hours but 4 hours of that was restarting the game with different drivers and toggling off different settings in the game for the absolute lowest performance. I'll just have to wait a month or so until the bugs are worked on and new driver versions are released.
Summary: If you are ok with playing games a month or two after release with a potential for some driver issues, Nvidia will probably be fine. I can play every older game in my steam library using Proton (which is built in to steam, you just need to turn it on in the game properties).
Otherwise it is a risk and you will always run into issues with Nvidia's proprietary drivers and new games.
I'll be getting AMD processor and GPU for my next desktop gaming computer.
Hi What are your favourite cooking youtubers? on the other hand do you have some youtubers you despise or don’t understand the appeal of? I’ll be first:...
Well I was shadowbanned for a couple of years and couldn't get unbanned despite multiple support requests, never figured out what happened, maybe it was cause I had my VPN on when I signed up? Just radio silence from reddit support. Didn't bother trying to make a new account after that. Just lurked.
Edit: I was one of the digg migrants to reddit, mostly lurked in niche subs for years and had a few accounts that I ended up deleting over the years. I also was on VOAT for a bit before it went to crap and then got abandoned. Looks like the fediverse has a lot more promise and potential and I'm glad to be here!

Is anybody else more active here then they were on Reddit?
When I was on Reddit I felt like my opinion didn’t matter. But here it just feels more open and free.
