Or.... it's because it's usually user-error when this crap comes up.
If you can't handle problems in a tech preview, don't use it. Forums are not...

Seems like according to you, everything is wrong with KDE. I don't understand why you keep using it....

[schmidtbag]

It's 10nm with some patches for vulnerabilities. It's still otherwise a pretty old architecture....

[schmidtbag]

Yeah but back then, nothing was over-complicated. You didn't have layers upon layers of APIs. You didn't have practically infinite RAM and disk space...

[schmidtbag]

Impressive results, too bad they're still stuck with the aging CPU architecture. This bodes very well for their dGPUs. Good thing I'm not in a rush to...

[schmidtbag]

I wonder how much performance human programmers could squeeze out of our hardware if they weren't so damn lazy. Seems like once the Core2 Quad was released,...

[schmidtbag]

1. Um.... yes it does support ECC
2. Ok, so the cost difference between the 24 and 32 core models is $790 (at least if we go by the CPU market...

[schmidtbag]

Yeah, no shit it's cheaper with a discount - that's nearly $5000 off. That's not the normal sale price. The normal sale price is what I would call "severely...

[schmidtbag]

People who are quick ridicule everything but themselves are the least likely to change....

[schmidtbag]

It's not that expensive for what you're getting.
Not sure why size is a problem if it's able to fit FOUR Quadros.
People who make money from...

[schmidtbag]

Your please-and-thank-yous aren't fooling anyone into thinking you're actually being polite....

[schmidtbag]

Interesting. Well, the 580 is a good deal and despite the pandemic, gaming is getting more popular, so I guess it isn't too surprising that the 580 is...

[schmidtbag]

Not that I'm disagreeing with the points you made in this thread, but, the 580 was super popular among crypto miners. So the reality is a bit skewed....

[schmidtbag]

Frankly, the biggest differences between Haswell and modern Intel procs is being on a bigger node, it's on DDR3, and lacks AVX512. There are a few more...

[schmidtbag]

Makes me wonder if they'll re-introduce support, now that there is SDL2 support.
Also makes me wonder if DOSBox is the reason this was added in...

[schmidtbag]

Eh.... I don't agree. Arch is my favorite distro, but it's not user-friendly. Maybe one of the derivatives are (never tried them; don't care to) but...

[schmidtbag]

Seems Clear doesn't have the immense lead it used to. Not sure if that means other distros have got better at implementing optimizations, or, that Clear...

[schmidtbag]

I agree with both statements, but there's a 3rd option too:
Cloud-print devices or generic network printers. Having localized printer drivers is...

[schmidtbag]

I'm going to have this weird sense of pride if RDNA2 ends up being faster and more stable on Linux than on Windows. At this rate there's a pretty good...

[schmidtbag]

This is good news. Brings us one step closer to being able to ditch closed-source drivers.
