As a long time Linux user; do you know how bad you have to fuck up your operating system to make people WANT to use Linux?
Regular people in my life keep asking me for advice and... I mean, cool. But, like, what the fuck is Microsoft doing over there?
@rgegriff look, the whole *point* of running linux is so i know none of my shit works but also *why*
@davidgerard @rgegriff the people responsible for my sorrow have names and email addresses
@hipsterelectron @davidgerard @rgegriff Non-engineering staff at my clients have started asking me if they can move their gaming rigs to Linux
Not all of this timeline is dark, just most of it
@ludicity @hipsterelectron @rgegriff i still fear this cos nvidia support is still shaky, which is 100% nvidia's fault. AMD is solid and makes happy users. sigh
@davidgerard @ludicity @hipsterelectron @rgegriff
Bought red last three systems, agree with Torvalds, Fuck NVidia.
@ludicity @hipsterelectron @rgegriff @davidgerard in my experience, AMD cards work... eventually. if your card is more than three years old it's gonna be solid. luckily, nobody can afford cards newer than that anyway.
@davidgerard @ludicity @rgegriff nvidia is very effective at making drivers which break at build time or runtime and especially make it essentially impossible to track kernel master. nouveau was supposed to be an answer for this but curiously does not support displayport output on my machine. ubuntu previously had tested support for nvidia drivers and suddenly stopped doing that for unknown reasons
@davidgerard @ludicity @hipsterelectron @rgegriff the best part about buying an AMD card was knowing i wasn't funding that annoying prick jensen huang
@rgegriff If corporations were actually people, I'd have called for a mental health check on microsoft a long time ago. Something is not right up in that brain pan and they need some new meds or to break up with that abusive lover or something. Shit ain't right.
