The answer is Feynman

That's a weird bug but I'm going to give it a shot!

Right and I agree. All my recent hardware purchases in the last 3 years have all been AMD.

I have SOME Nvidia hardware right now and I'm sure other people do too. Unfortunately, AMD is lagging behind in some key scenarios that will hopefully be resolved in the near future. AMD knows this and doesn't compete in the high end currently (outside of Datacenter).

I do like to think that AMDs apus are the future and the death of the discrete GPU is imminent. I have been looking at things like the 395 AI MAX (poorly named CPU) for some testing but right now it doesn't make sense to hop platforms financially.

Just my two cents. I personally own a lot of different gaming devices running different platforms. I don't have an allegiance to one particular platform because::I just think they're neat::.

I don't think I'm unique in this case either. In reality it's always been "use the right tool for the right job" kinda scenarios.

With that being said, open source platforms have broken into the scene in a big way recently. I built a bd790i/radeon7800xt system a little while back and it has become my primary gaming platform. It runs Bazzite and it's always just ready to go with most (if not all) of my steam games running.

I basically use windows on machines running Nvidia hardware. Even on my workstation where Nvidia has basically decided their chosen platform is WSL2 and chosen not to embrace the larger Linux ecosystem completely (yet).

I do have a test box that constantly runs bazzite-dx where I am testing Nvidia compatibility. It's getting REALLY GOOD. however I just had a set back where Bambu studio flatpaks do not render 3d objects anymore. Flatpaks integration with Nvidia is a major pain sometimes as it can break with driver updates. I'm really new to this but fltapak needs the driver as well as the base system and then the flatpacked application needs to support it as well? It seems cumbersome. I don't have this problem with AMD GPUs.

Both Dysons I've ever purchased have broken two months into ownership. Never again.

Nvidia seems to be the biggest hurdle for most people. The simplest solution I've found has been universal Blue, Bazzite (specifically the Nvidia images). You don't have to think twice about Nvidia as everything is preconfigured for you out of the gate, forever, in perpetuity.

I'm not aware of the x3d issues you speak of.

I'm pretty sure if you use bazzite-dx you get the virtualization setup as a ujust set-up script

Every one is else is doing piracy while I'm doing "digital content preservation". These companies would happily send you a letter telling you to destroy all copies of a book In your house if they had the right to. You must resist.

If you game and use ollama and want to try Linux I think you should check out Bluefin-DX as it is specially tooled for Nvidia AI nim and nemo container environment. Nvidia drivers are ready to go.

As for your CPU choice, if you can at some point get over to at minimum 12thgen Intel (11thgen I you're willing to jump onto ali express ewaste) I think you would see a marked performance improvement overall.

I'm genuinely happy to see people trying out new stuff! I like seeing all the new approaches every distro takes, understanding real use cases, making interesting design decisions at each turn.

This is what it used to be like to be a PC enthusiast and I think it's great to see computing become personal again.

Now CachyOS I've been following for a while and it seems much closer to something like endeavor which is still prone to all the potential issues I've experienced before. I've moved to ublue Bazzite and bluefin recently because the out of box experience is amazing and updates are pretty much immaculate.

I still don't understand what Cachy does in its kernel optimization and BORE scheduler properly but I'd love to learn and understand.

I've felt that the introduction of micro transactions was the beginning of the end of videogames. There is no reason to push boundaries inside of an industry as an artist when it is so heavily commoditized down to your basic attention in seconds.

I think maybe we need a little history to understand how we got here from gaming meaning gambling, to pinball, to "video" gaming, to Electronic Entertainment as a whole to realize where the boundaries are supposed to be.

Deceptive business practices need to be put in check. Consumer protection needs enforcement otherwise there would still be lead in everything you touch.

Who needs artists pushing boundaries when it's legal to sell heroin.
