From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

The absolute best fix I've found for Nvidia on Linux is to buy an AMD GPU. Best decision of my PC life.

I replaced my 1660 with a 6700XT and I didn't have to do anything, just plug and play. No drivers or anything. It was ah-mazing

Well this seemed like potentially a very convenient fix to a problem I was having but turns out the game I’m trying to play can’t be forced into using the gpu for some reason…. Cool utility though, shame it’s really needed at the same time!

Wow. This is kind of idiotic, hope that both implement a gui option

It's only like a couple of commands and some copy pasting....

Removing an appendix is just a couple incisions and suturing.

This is what you and I sound like to the average population.

every time you need to open a terminal for some basic system operation is a defeat for the system

(i get that this is not a very common operation, but still)

Tell that to the average computer user, and they’ll crap their pants. I’m all for the command line being there for power users and people who actually have to manage complex systems, but if you want Linux to go to the moon, you have to consider the average Joe
