I test KDE each couple of years: install it on my current OS or in VM, trying to change theme/move panel, get a crash shortly after, then delete it. Even “kde neon” that was supposedly polished distro from devs themselves, crashed within couple of minutes in my hands.

Maybe it just my hands, but Gnome never does that.

If anyone wondering - no, bug not fixed. My most expensive version of 7900xtx basically useless in games, cause it crashes every time I start one. But hey, clearly asking “uh, akshually, it’s not a pc unusable, but unusable in games” is helped. I hope that jerk have miserable life.

Same. But more than that - I noticed that my 7700x is a huge bottleneck: desktop CPUs limited to just 2 channels, plus controller in 7700 is kinda meh, so I can’t force anything above 5600mt\s with my 4 sticks. Switching to new CPU should allow to increase speed, but will still lock me to 2 channels. So I should’ve bought cheapest threadripper instead, which allows 4 or 8 channels instead.

I still wish I had a better GPU

My 7900xtx was a rollercoaster of emotions all the way till now, so I decided to buy nvidia even tho I don’t support them as a company in the slightest (nor do I support amd at this point, considering they dipped in same AI bubble as soon as they had the chance).

So yeah, “I will just buy next top-tier gpu as soon as it arrives” was looking like this for past couple of years:

Realistically, company shouldn’t enforce such integration in the first place, even if my distro did supporter it (I won’t install RHEL on my home desktop, dude).

They justify it by “security”, but beyond changing group policy to enforce constant password rotation and system update, haven’t noticed anything that would really justify it. I guess the only real reason of this integration existing, is that they can lock me out of my own PC if they wanted to. And considering that I’m a freelancer, that can happen at any given moment.

I’m a freelancer. Cause I had to run from my country that decided to start a war for some reason. And let me tell you - no one wants to hire a migrant from russia. So yeah, upper mentioned company won’t provide hardware for freelancers, but as alternative they do provide azure virtual desktop - which sucks and also doesn’t work on linux (due to how ms implemented auth via their token).

I can request asylum and live on government support, will probably get a rejection in the long term tho, cause according to EU and other countries - russia clearly is a safe country to live.

And suddenly me “unjustifiably” buying 128gb of DDR5 was a good investment of money.

At least in your case they didn’t give the false hope. In my case two years ago company just stated that we “enrolling in ms ecosystem”. That meant that to use your PC within company’s domain, you had to authorize it with MS account or none of sites would work. Weirdly, MS does support that not only on windows, but also on linux and MacOS. And if MacOS is simple (and supported by our tech team), linux installation is awful — it requires ubuntu lts + to install ms antivirus, that will override some system filles on top of that and will have root access afaik. Well, I don’t want company to control my personal device anyway, so I just installed win11 in qemu with tpm emulation and gpu passthrough and activated this “company account” shit there. Good luck spying on not activated bare w11 copy.

If job market wasn’t fucked, probably would just leave instead tho.

That the most stupid thing I read today, thank you

Yes, sure, dev doesn’t owns me “a solution”. Nor respect. Nor do I. So go fuck yourself.

You don’t like that answer and you think that I should’ve keep it to myself? Well, too bad, go fuck yourself asshole, you said yourself — I or dev didn’t own you anything.

My point (cause you probably won’t understand, otherwise you wouldn’t make that stupid statement): you own to a community basic respect. It called ethics. You don’t just shit-talk (even if veidly) user that asking for help. If you not willing to help — you free to pass that thread or ignore it. That dev didn’t helped in the slightest by being jerk.

Instructions unclear: meditation haven’t fixed amdgpu driver, but summoned succubus instead.

Had to ask her leave — she terrible at debugging.

I like the irony: you dislike when someone impolite in response to some dev (qa?) message, but not when dev themself being impolite to user.

P.S. I kinda tired to be honest. In early days of 7900xtx’s driver I did helped as mush as I could in corresponding tickets and bug reports, but what the point? This evening, before monday, I just wanted to play damn game. On my damn computer. But no, I got a bug to deal with and first spotted comment is from some unhinged dev. How do you think I feel and how willing I to provide any help with debugging? Nope, I’m done. Will just downgrade and that will become someone else’s problem.

Context is simple: user have GPU driver crash and considers (rightfully so) PC to be unusable, hence asks for help. There nothing else to it. I see no reason to ask this question on screenshot in that context. Unless you want to sound like a jerk, that is.

Other questions in same comment, like request to add more details or keep dmesg in “code” block — those are valid and I have no issues with that. But this first line sets the tone of the whole comment.

Why would such abomination even exist tho?

Yep, art style and amazing lightning (even without any RT) works wonders. And the game released in 2019, 7 years ago. Mind blowing.

I assume dedicated “copilot” button on notebooks will await same fait.

“Improving user experience” would be to not use any of those two apps.

My looks like this, I think it have autism :c

But I still love it :3

I’d prefer that over it being meaningless.

Folks, I think we found that mysterious target audience behind “Star Trek: Discovery”

After watching recent ram cartel investigation from gamernexus: fuck them. They got what they fucking deserve.
