Honestly it is a bit massive....

[wizard69]

This test would be more interesting with an AMD chip to compare against. As for flops I don’t think games on Linux are a useful comparison as most...

50 years from now what will Linus be remembered for, Linux or Git?...

[wizard69]

Good news but I expect a lot of push back from the GPU manufactures....

[wizard69]

I think I’m going to like the F-String ‘=‘ format specifier.

lots of great new features and capabilities....

Looking forward to this series of articles....

Python has its issues but it really hasn’t had any decent competition thus many are indoctrinated into its use. However I see real potential in the...

[wizard69]

On the surface this sounds good. It is just the realization that AMD drivers “need work” that has me a bit worried. The best out come here is that...

Very interesting, PI4 is certainly a new generation of hardware. That is great but the foundation really needs to get with it and focus on a 64 bit distro....

[wizard69]

Which is why I implied that AMD is not as bad. I did not say they where a model of honesty.

im actually surprised no one has gone after...

It isn’t just a Navi problem. Raven Ridge seems to have the same issue with Firefox.


Hopefully some of this gets resolved. ...

That is honesty one can respect! However I’d be surprised if we will ever see an X86 based chip that is 100% open. I don’t ever see the micro...

This is why I would prefer an AMD solution. Binary blobs don’t concern me as much as Intel’s marketing. I’m not saying AMD is perfect either...

[wizard69]

Another distro I never heard of!!!! It is surprising how one gets attached to a favored distro, Fedora in this case, and the reality of the Linux...

Hopefully they will get compute worked out soon, otherwise there is little point in jumping on this card. The reason is pretty simple, more software...

[wizard69]

Maybe. However what this points out to me is the value in a good GPU. Off loading to the GPU should increase performance on most systems. This is also...

[wizard69]

Mainstream? Neither Linux nor MacOS are mainstream yet they have large followings. Considering BeOS uniqueness I would hope that it continues to grow....

[wizard69]

Well that would suck because AV1 was on my mind here. Hopefully details can be scraped up soon but their is little sense in buying a GPU that can’t...

[wizard69]

No! Seriously guy, why would anybody buy a modern performance GPU card to use in an ancient computer?...

[wizard69]

25 years is a long time, this Could be a desire for retirement. If not retirement maybe he has an eye on something more worthwhile....
