  Does Lemmy have a “Stallman was right” community? Or is that just all of Lemmy.

    Most of it, yes.

      If you replace the c/ with ! it will become a clickable link that will take the visitor to their local instance’s copy of that community.

  It’s not fear, it’s laziness and just general fed-upness of dealing with computers and the overwhelming complexity of everything nowadays. There’s nothing fun or thrilling about computers anymore, it’s a black box to me now.

  FreeBSD has been on a bit of a glowup arc too though, at least for general desktop use.

    I’m so glad that they’re clinging on! FreeBSD is great and they’ve made some serious moves these past years.

      NetBSD even explicitly banned AI from their codebase to boot, as quoted from their Commit Guidelines:

      Code generated by a large language model or similar technology, such as GitHub/Microsoft’s Copilot, OpenAI’s ChatGPT, or Facebook/Meta’s Code Llama, is presumed to be tainted code, and must not be committed without prior written approval by core.

  Still waiting for nvidia to pull their heads out of their asses and fix gaming performance on their GPUs under Linux before I make the jump myself. And no, I don’t want an AMD GPU.

    What’s wrong with amd? In the market for a gpu right now

    source

    • bobaworld@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      Nothing really wrong with them if they offer the performance and features you want. But I am a high end user and I also use some software that’s really reliant on CUDA. So they’re not really winning in either the performance or the features department for my personal use.

      Nothing. The current generation card is slightly worse in rasterization performance while handily slapping my 7900 XTX.

    I use NVIDIA on Linux and nothing no issues or performance hits

    It’s fine. Not sure where you heard it’s terrible.

    source

    • bobaworld@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      I know it’s not terrible, but there is a performance disparity there that you can’t ignore. If someone is spending $1000+ on a high end GPU I think it is fair for them to expect a level of performance that’s a little better than “fine”.

      source

      • DireTech@sh.itjust.works ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

        If by disparity you mean sometimes Windows is better and sometimes Linux is better. I have one of those GPUs. Give it a try before you slam it. Valve has thrown so much money into Proton that support is amazing compared to when I tried a decade ago.

    I’m just shocked Fedora is playing well with a quadro series card, and I’m not looking back. If there’s some bottleneck, it’s no larger than the one on my general experience with windows. Though I would very much like to be runnung a non-tainted kernel.

    • bobaworld@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      Yeah I understand that things have improved a lot. But it’s the 10-30% performance hit in DX12 games that keeps me from wanting to dive into Linux as my primary OS on my gaming machine. If they can get that closer to parity with Windows, I’m all-in on Linux for life.
