The only thing that will get me back on windows is the Net Yaroze SDK which came out for windows 95-XP, I have a period accurate airgapped PC for that stuff though.

I do my best! 🩷🌸🌷

Ugh my cat had an incident like that a few months ago. Stopped eating and drinking for 2 days. $4k in vet bills later? Just a tummyache.

Straight up piracy - probably only like $3k, if we're including backups of a personal physical media collection well over 20k.

Do you have any use cases in particular that have been pain points? I'm a 20+ year user who helps folks make the switch as a hobby, I may have some advice for you.

I know I'm not but that doesn't mean that gamers wouldn't benefit from more VRAM as well.

Just an example, Nvidia's implementation of MSAA is borked if you've only got 8gigs of VRAM, so all those new super pretty games need to have their gfx pipelines hijacked and the antialiasing replaced with older variants.

Like, I'm not gonna go around saying my use case is normal, but I also won't delude myself into thinking that the average gamer wouldn't benefit from more VRAM as well.

I don't care about my distro. The choice I make when decicing on a distribution is entirely based on use case. I have LMDE on my server. I have Mint Cinnamon on my macbook. I use arch when I'm doing minimal installs for basic functionality. I don't have a distro of choice for ARM, I've used rasbian and I use muOS on my rg35xxsp. I've been looking at learning gentoo and deploying that for raspberry pi as I have some projects in mind for some micro arcade cabinets and want as little overhead as possible in regards to background processes

Anyone know if this fixes MSAA? I'm kinda sick of having to override my antialiasing in the Nvidia Xconfig app to force fxaa

AMD drivers are open source and built into the kernel. You should have very little problems with team red on linux. From what I've seen the new Intel cards work pretty well too.

Nvidia is known for their problems on Linux.

I managed to get Cities Skylines 2 running on my PC by overriding the anti-aliasing controls to disable MSAA in my Nvidia x-config settings, so I've dumped around 18 hours into that this week and will probably dump another 6 or so tonight into it.

I love city builders 🤤🤤

Home cooked meals are why I can afford to be a housewife!

My partner and I only bring in around 48k/yr and thanks to cooking from scratch for everything its totally a reasonable amount!

I make a loaf of multigrain sourdough every week for our breakfast egg, onion, jalapeno, sandwiches, egg prices included that's 12 a week for breakfast at the highest. Dinners we use whatever produce is in season, stews and casseroles are most common. We usually end up at around 40/week for dinners.

Add that to the fact that I'm a nerd who can selfhost out services (I run a jellyfin server with all of my physical media backed up to it, so its my Netflix and my Spotify, and idc about piracy so I rip stuff I get from the library too) and were also spending only electricity on media every month... Usually.
