Let’s not forget: it appears that JD Vance may be the originator of that whole farce.
In which case, Trump touted it because either a) they honestly think it is good propaganda which will sway the campaign, or b) Trump is quite literally eating his own dog food, because there are too many lies to keep track of.
Just not russian to any conclusions
This stood out to me. Do we know of anyone who Trump might be worried about upsetting if he said he wanted Ukraine to win? Anyone at all?
Maybe you have just ended up with a lemon CPU. Though for random crashes like that, I’d almost always look to RAM first.
I did have some stability issues early on when trying to enable Expo. Never quite got that working right so it is currently disabled. I keep my 7600x in Eco mode since it is air cooled and the performance difference is not that great anyway, so I haven’t noticed any major differences with Expo off.
The Expo issues were also with a very early MSI BIOS. I haven’t tried it again after upgrading, but I probably should.
Unfortunately not.
My AM5 has been pretty good, the boot issue notwithstanding. It has been quite stable at least. For me it’s a 7600x.
…yeah, I’m an idiot. I hadn’t thought very carefully about it yet. Won’t help me since the delay is before POST.
I have an MSI motherboard. Memory Context Restore shaves significant time off of boots, but it is still extremely slow. Just a hang before I see POST complete.
Boot times on AM5 are soooo slow due to some memory training feature of DDR-5, even after following many suggestions for settings. It appears to be a general issue with the platform, so hibernation is very much back on the menu for me.
Duh, it won’t matter since the delay is before POST.
You know what else far exceeds average Canadian wage increases? Average Canadian CEO wage increases.
Fucking metal
Needs to be 32 hours. Just shoving the same 40 hours into 4 days is not actually an improvement.
Are 4 10s better? It depends on who you ask. On the dark side, one could argue that it does more to normalize a 10-hour day than to “shorten” the work week.
You won’t see the same kinds of varied responses if it were a 32-hour week with no pay reduction, though.
As a leftist, I find the usage of “Genocide Joe” completely warranted.
Also, that angle in the thumbnail may be the worst possible.
Same. It can’t even work correctly when I try and put it into a specific box.
The ultimate issue is a distaste for giving any corporation any control over hardware that I, alone, own.
It’s gotten to the point that I buy games without looking them up first.
Same here. That was how I knew things had changed.
Let’s also not forget that while Elden Ring was waiting for a patch on release day to avoid stuttering on Windows, it never stuttered on Linux due to shader precaching in Proton. I try and tell that story to people on the fence about switching. A lot of people have this idea that Linux is “catching up” – in some sense, it is the opposite, in that I can sometimes get better performance on Linux vs Windows even with Windows binaries.
If it were me, I’d first be looking at used Thinkpads (with the caveat to make sure the specific Thinkpad has hardware which is generally supported). I’d also look into Linux-friendly manufacturers, like frame.work or System76.
Excellent point.
Right, but that’s sort of why I asked the question. The people who can’t boot their machine probably have some commonality in the specs of their machines. As I said above, I wouldn’t be surprised if nvidia is a common thread, and arguably, nvidia’s relatively poor Linux support is a business issue for them.
If indeed it is the case, then it is important to label it as an nvidia issue as opposed to a Linux issue.
Edit: another way to put it: was the CloudStrike issue Microsoft’s fault? System design choices aside, CloudStrike’s software was the cause of the failure. To say it’s a Microsoft issue misses the bigger picture. In that sense, poor nvidia support (if it is indeed at play here) is not really a Linux issue, rather than an nvidia issue and/or a brand loyalty issue.
Anti-cheat isn’t a Linux issue per se, in that there would be no way to fix it without compromising a lot of system security. Just because that has been allowed on Windows forever doesn’t mean it’s good practice.
The “solution” would be the gaming companies not using the current approach to anti-cheat.
I’ve been gaming on Linux 100% for about 3 years now. I very rarely have any issues at all. But, I’m on an all AMD system.
Based on your experience, would you mind sharing specs? My observation has been that nvidia is normally involved whenever anyone has serious issues with Linux gaming.
That plus a massive amount of inherent isolationism plus an extreme birth shortage and an already very aged population.
The writing is on the wall in many ways unless major, unprecedented changes were to be made. Japan in a hundred years will be unrecognizable without them.
