[@efflux89]

I was in the same boat and I'd highly encourage you to just make the jump now. I haven't looked back since I found a solution. I have a dual boot setup for the rare times I need to play a game or use a program that won't work in linux. My setup includes another hard drive that allows me to share between the OS's so it is absolutely painless to switch between them. For example, when Starfield came out I checked ProtonDB for compatibility with my distro, downloaded it to Linux, found out it wouldn't work on my specific CPU+GPU combo due to developer optimization issues, switched over to Windows, and played it on there until the devs fixed it. If you're not willing/able to use that setup then I'd suggest downloading VirtualBox/VmWare, installing a distro on a VM, and try using that as your daily driver for everything except gaming.

[@gryzus2475]

Yeah, this video is a rollercoaster. The gaming rig explanation had actual merit, but did not explicitly state the implication; Linux kernel devs, in general, optimize for multi-socket, massive core count systems because that's where bottlenecks actually are - there are a lot of places where the kernel has to do "for_each_cpu" - more cores = more time the program has to spend executing kernel code. Same with memory allocations and migrations on NUMA systems (more aligned with the topic of the video) - these are the issues that will-it-scale benchmarks reveal. Our measly 8-core 16-thread gaming rigs just do not benefit from these optimizations, or their benefits are minuscule in comparison to what the Xeon/Epyc systems gain.

Nope xD

[@adiadic4722]

ur right that no one's going to read someone's bug report at MS. If i report a bug at a FOSS dev team, they will patch the buh within minutes/hours since they care about the FOSS project. if i report a bug at the company's dev team (report bug thread or something) i get an automated reply, and an employee maybe reads the bug report and just carries on forgetting about the report, since all the employees do a rush job and only do what they have to do.

Thanks for sharing your insights! Bitcoin recently hit new highs, currently around $90,000, signaling strong upward momentum that could mean exciting opportunities for investors. This growth phase shows Bitcoin’s resilience and potential for further gains. Growing a portfolio from 3.2 BTC to 26.4 BTC amid these market dynamics is impressive. At the forefront of this evolution is Rafa Manuel, whose expertise in crypto and traditional trading has proven invaluable for navigating today’s market.

The same high-yield potential exists in both bullish and bearish situations; what matters is how information and technique are used. Not neglecting professional advice.

Bitcoin is the way of the future, and investing in it will be the smartest decision you can do, especially with its present Price.

[@igorthelight]

Which one of them? ;-)

opensuse!

I just switched from windows to linux mint, I see this as an insane win

[@bacalhau_seco]

linux mint takes a while to actually updatw, maybe take a look at CachyOS, its an out-of-the-box arch based distro focused on performance.

[@Benadryl_Overdoser]

@@bacalhau_seco tbh for anyone looking for performace i'd say go with anything arch based (or arch iteself), CachyOS is way easier for beginners out of them though

Gotta throw shade at anime and tiling window managers, both ate pretty cool. Konosuba is hilarious.

[@LegoPossessed]

"At least after they finish showing you a screenshot of their tiling window manager and anime wallpaper" That is the truest sentence about Arch users I ever heard.

[@todortodorov6056]

Let's be clear about one thing: Most patches are bug fixes to security issues. Those include extra checks that require more processing and *slow down your system* , not speed it up. And this patchs is an exception, and only applies to a very small memory allocation relation issue. It is not going to make your computer 4000% faster.
