My case was purely, that I had upgraded the gpu in my classic Mac Pro, and thought that a SFX pc build could be done with the old gpu and a power supply and mobo. It started out with a cheap mobo, to hold only an old i7 from an imac that was parted out, and 8gb of ram (2x4 sticks I had spare) and the vega56. I found it so capable a system, that the only issue was ram when I forgot about the dozen tabs open on a browser, and the game just launched would hang the system. Before I would ‘waste’ spending money on the max 16gb that this board could hold, I started collecting the parts for it’s current setup; a520i, ryzen5 5600x , 64gb, nvme ssd and the gpus I’ve now swapped between the cMP so now it’s a rx5700xt. Use is purely a spare, don’t want a windows machine, I’ve got the mac for a server/media machine, so it’s all purpose and games on the Linux box. Although I have got dual boot capability set up on both just because I could, maybe something really offside would need w10 - one example; VCDS car diagnostic software that doesn’t support anything but win.

Wondering how my 64gb will outlast every other part upgrade my gaming Linux box will get over the years
Everyone needs a hobby, but definitely not a hill.
Make America clean again!
From the main protagonist from Linux sucks, because I downvoted it and everything in that community and that idiot’s post history. Lol

Skoda used to not be owned by VW, and back then they were bad like Lada.

And then fitted flue gas desulphurisation equipment to clean up the emissions to burn the cheap brown coal that had the higher sulphur content, to make the emissions equivalent to the expensive Welsh stuff.
Linux mint: ex windows guy? I take offence, I’m an ex-SuSE 4.2, ex-macOS, windows only at work guy. (My cinnamon is themed to have macOS ish appearance btw.) [and I lied, not ex-mac as such, I have a few macs round the house, and built my Linux machine to run games on steam/lutris, around a spare gfx card that came out of my classic Mac pro5,1]
Yeah, native of 51 years, never heard it ever said, seen it online twice. I’m sure it’s just a made up thing to be different rather than a fluent occurrence
The TV show is even better
2·2 months agoLinux Mint has been the best choice of Linux for the past year and it has a great community and a lot more people to follow along on Linux and Windows platforms as it has been a long and difficult transition for Linux Mint to make

I started my interest in Linux with SuSE 4.2. I left that because of Novell and the huge loss of features at that time, like all the simple useful things they stripped out of the distro package to become corporate copyright friendly. (Cd burner toast being an example) The last time I tried openSUSE was a disc of tumbleweed. It didn’t do it for me, ‘have a lot of fun’ didn’t ring true. I feel this can either be the end: it isn’t and hasn’t been ‘SuSE’ for many years. Or it could be a new distro that is better than it’s progenitor. (Like Mint is an anti-Ubuntu based on it.)
