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

Its important when manually installing the Nvidia drivers to remember to blacklist the Open source nouveau driver.

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.

Edit: spelling

Stable Distros such as debian hold updates longer for testing, for example the newest Nvidia driver in the Bookworm Stable repo is 530(535 maybe?) wheras rolling release or bleeding edge distros might have up to 570 already.

You're always able to manually install any software not available in your distribution's repositories, but beware, in some cases here be dragons. Most of the time these manual installations are trivial, but in the case of Nvidia drivets for example, its VERY important you properly prepare your system, lest you end up in a state without graphics. This is of course, easily repairable, but a pain in the bum and something that can scare away new users.

Originally Ohio, now the American Southwest (I won't be more specific than that).

Left Ohio a decade ago, never going back that place is terrible. There's like, no sunlight, gives ya the SADs (seasonal affective disorder) real bad in winter. Life in the desert is nice, basically infinite hiking. I do a different trail every week, usually around 5 miles or so. I've got a big 13 mile loop planned with some friends soon, I'm excited.

Its a reference to Reefer Madness, looks to be a recreation of one of the promo posters. Reefer Madness is a piece of tongue in cheek anti-marijuana propaganda made as a comedy for folks who enjoy the loosey leaf
