That’s funny! If someone was trying to infect my PC via e-mail, I would expect them to be sending pdf files.

Also check out ELKS for your even older CPUs.

No problem. I think in my case only Wine/Proton games were doing it and native Linux games were fine. I shake my fist at Nvidia and carry on. 😂

Try this setting: Display Configuration > Screen tearing: Allow in fullscreen windows. Whatever it’s set to, try the other setting. I had a similar issue once and this fixed it. The issue came back a long time later and switching it again fixed it. 🤷‍♂️

It’s a difficult issue to pin down. I’ve also read about video stuttering while trying to stay synched to pipewire audio which is having buffer underruns, even if your audio sounds fine. To check the audio buffer, you install and run pw-top and then watch it while you are having the video problem.

Sorry, I was not trying to put words in your mouth. I just usually hear, “Linux not good for me because it doesn’t support my setup well enough” when it should be “Linux not good for me because the manufacturers of my hardware don’t support Linux well enough”. Trying to put blame where it belongs in hopes of raising awareness to both users and manufacturers.

I also mistakenly thought you mentioned a newer Nvidia card when you are considering AMD. 🤦‍♂️ Good luck in your computing future!

It’s not the fault of the creators of an operating system that Nvidia refuses to write comparable drivers. Nvidia are the only ones with the technical knowledge of the GPU’s internals that is necessary to write the 100% functional driver. Open-source Nouveau drivers exist but are less functional because of this, its programmers have to try to reverse-engineer and do a lot of guesswork and testing, and for free.

Basically: If you value FOSS software at all, buy from manufacturers that are friendlier to FOSS software, or you may unknowingly lock yourself out of it.

Edit: Buying newer (especially of Nvidia) is probably a bad idea if you intend to run Linux. Older cards have had more time for them to fix the inevitable bugs. I run a GTX980Ti 😅 with the closed-source drivers on an Arch-based system and I’m honestly surprised a video driver update hasn’t seriously broken anything yet.

He wasn’t even arrested, just kidnapped and going to be deported without being charged with anything.

…and defund NOAA.

Should have gone for the heart; I don’t think further damaging the brain would have much effect.

That goes without saying… another user here says the drive can’t be larger than 8GB but I’m fairly certain I tried that, too.

Edit: 4GB FAT32 worked. It may have a 4GB limit. On a brand new multifunction business printer/copier/scanner.

My Canon photo printer can be converted to a tank-style with a drill and a highly illegal cartridge resetter. 😂

I heard Brother was good, then I spent way too long formatting different USB sticks in different cluster sizes and formats, and never got ours to work with any of them. Don’t buy Brother if you want that feature, either.

Only reasons I can think of are time and money. We sadly lost DivestOS and their projects… How about software patents, which of course are bullshit; but even illegitimate threats can ruin small businesses and lone programmers who don’t have the time and money to defend themselves.

Who will rake the leaves? Not raking the leaves is the cause of the recent increased wildfires, according to Donald Trump’s own word salad.

I got it from techrights.org, author is a bit wacky but seems to have his heart in the right place.

Fake laws! Executive orders also say everyone in the US is female; one’s gender is now only determined by their body’s plumbing at conception 😂

Era of clown computing.

Or bad Dell drivers, or Microsoft software. Not my picture, take with a grain of salt as they say.

No offense, but some other folks apparently felt the need to downvote you, probably because modern GNU/Linux is a copy of Windows, which is a copy of Macintosh, which is a copy of Xerox Alto.

GNU/Linux is missing important stuff because manufacturers only pay someone to write drivers for Windows and sometimes Mac, because those are the dominant “normal user” OSes, because those are the OSes that manufacturers support… etc…

Your complaints are certainly valid, but the IT of your company should be applying Group Policies to address some of these!

Enterprise version is also more stable than the goddamn “you are the guinea pig” spyware Home and Pro versions. O&O ShutUp10++ for those… Hilariously, they are a Microsoft Partner according to their website; some partnership that is when an automatic update from Microsoft can undo anything their software does. 😂

I’m by no means an expert but a power user… I saw the writing on the wall years ago and now have only one Windows machine explicitly for some hardware that have no Linux drivers but is otherwise very nice and useful.
