Whayle

Silly that the page doesn’t actually say what it does or link to overseer. https://overseerr.dev/

Both are bloated, but I’ll take flatpaks, as snaps have given me a lot of problems on multiple machines. I now just remove it entirely.

Consider that what we read online as news is becoming close to 50% generated or created by bots. Dipping in now and then, but mostly avoiding doesn’t seem an unreasonable approach, and breaks the dopamine machine.

An old I Love Lucy episode comes to mind, it’s got to be tough! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uZV40f0cXF4

Queen, news of the world tour, opening with “we will rock you”. Second is ELO and Kansas with a deadly laser light show. Nothing else has come close. I am old.

It’s because out of the box there’s often issues. For example, my setup with a 3080 booted to a black screen at login. Only futzing in the command prompt via grub let me install the correct driver, and it’s been fine ever since then.

Not only are they stupidly repetitive, they are loud. They do make me look for other stations. I’ve found I can mess with them sometimes using the home button, it can pause the marketing BS for a good minute.

Dual boot is the gateway I stepped through many years ago. It’s been months now since I chose team MS. I do lot of dev, gaming, and media work, and it’s all faster on the linux side. With the recent forced data mining “feature” update, I really doubt I’ll keep it around for my next upgrade.
So I’m just offering dual boot may be a good scenario. And also, popping in another drive is better than messing with your windows drive.

I cant seem to open the second link, but what video driver version is running?

Yes, the confusion that results when things don’t work because of isolation.

They “can’t even do tables”!!!

Same as you, in IT forever, …I switched, and I’m never going back. It’s fast, and it’s brought the joy back for me. Nvidia needs to do better, but that was the only difficulty I had.

Bixby sad now

It’s a crappy situation with Nvidia, even outside of this. A while ago, my ubuntu system informed me of updates, and it happily installed the 6.5 kernel. Turns out, nvidia drivers don’t work with this kernel… Apparently this sort of thing happens all the time, which would seem easily avoidable.

Building this into the OS is clearly unnecessary, there’s obviously another motive here…sweet user behavior data?

Pushing “machine learning” as “beneficial AI” appears to be a ploy to build profiles of everyone using all the data that can possibly be gathered up about them. The claims will be for better ads and better experiences, but the reality will be something quite different.

Thanks for spamming new by posting this so many times at once
