It isn’t the only way, but as far as I can tell, it looks like the most viable way and closest to achieving the goal.

So that the NYT website can crash twice as fast?

I don’t know why you’re being voted down… dude gave his health and years to substance abuse

I believe you could use qemu for 64-bit emulation on a 32-bit system

Lol cars last more than “a few years”, my current vehicle is 20 years old. I’ll easily get another 150,000 miles out of it, probably more. I already have a crate motor picked out to swap in when the engine finally dies. Or I could just “upgrade” to a newer year and still be non-networked.

Now I’m being a little silly, but at this rate of climate change acceleration, I’m starting to bet that my current vehicle is going to outlive capitalism anyway.

Yeah, so the thing is, any amount of trust that I had has already been completely destroyed. “We don’t do it anymore because it’s illegal, trust me bro” isn’t going to cut it. Does the bill include mandatory prison time for executives for violations, or just cost-of-doing-business fines? Will this be enforced by a government regulatory body that is not literally outnumbered 20:1 by car manufacturer lawyers?

If the car has any kind of network capabilities and 100% of the car’s software is not open source, I’m not buying it. Period.

This bill would not need to exist if cars were FOSS, or if cars were non-networked. Those are the only 2 solutions that I will accept. This bill is worthless to me.

What about extreme violations of privacy? Let me know when that is “out”, too.

Pretty sure it’s still just twitter

Ha, had no idea it was pronounced like that. I’ve always said MATE like “date”/“rate”/“fate”

It is not only more Rubles than currently exists, but more money than currently exists in any currency 😂

KDE Plasma. I like having a familiar start menu and keyboard shortcuts

Heat and time on the stove.

I definitely understand where you’re coming from, but at this point I’ve had so many JustWorks™️ Linux systems, including set up on my parents’ PC for well over 5 years without one single problem or breaking update, and they certainly are never opening up the terminal.

I’ll stick with my suggestion that Linux is not for anyone with a strong aversion to terminals.

My experience tells me that this is just objectively wrong, or I’d be getting calls from my parents, HOWEVER, I will concede that maybe this is only wrong if you just want a bulletproof system that works without messing around much.

If OP wants to mess around and get dirty in settings, then I’ll give it to you that they might need to be a bit more open minded about the terminal. I haven’t really tried much GUI configs or settings besides really common, typical stuff, like network config or power saving modes/settings, because I just go right to the terminal regardless.

But its just wrong to claim that someone who doesn’t want to use a terminal will have a problem on Linux, it just depends heavily on what you are trying to do. For the tasks that most people use a personal computer for, there won’t be anything holding you back.

Dude, reading comprehension

Mint isn’t based on Fedora either

Lol ironic. Where did you “comprehend” that I claimed it was?

So which GPU, and I’ll give you a leg up, don’t say “5700XT” because that one is notoriously broken for drivers, including on Windows…

Now I just want to know what commands you thought you needed to run that you found randomly on the internet lmao, like what, you had to chmod +x the installer??

I hate to say it, but… you sure about that? The Wikipedia article addresses this exact issue:

As AMDgpu is part of the monolithic Linux kernel, it is shipped by most Linux distributions directly. The package suite / install script amdgpu-pro, distributed by AMD directly from AMD Radeon Software, ships an AMDgpu kernel module somewhat reliably more up-to-date compared to that of kernels shipped in regular operating system distributions.

Yes, a version of the driver is included in the Linux kernel as part of Fedora, but it is likely slightly old and you can download the latest version from AMD… you should probably go do this right now, because that is exactly how it works for Mint, too.

Exactly like how they’re also already included with Windows, but you must go download from AMD to have the latest…

Next time you need a graphics update, please don’t wipe your machine and install a whole different distro with crossed fingers that that distro will happen to use a kernel with a newer version of the driver 🤣 completely unnecessary. Just search “AMD linux driver” it is literally the first result, you had to have scrolled past it to find these random sketchy commands you were scared to run. Your GPU will work just as perfectly with Fedora as it does with Mint or Windows. I also use an AMD GPU on Fedora

EDIT: Alright, I’ll admit that I was wrong about how updating it yourself is on specifically Fedora and that getting the driver direct from AMD website is going to be a huge pain if you’re not on the specific Ubuntu version they are supprting. That said, I’ve never seen a driver issue on Fedora with the included AMD driver, especially for 6XXX series AMD GPUs or later (5700 XT is a special case, AMD completely burned the people that bought that card, including my friend, and he only runs Windows)

OMG you’re not even talking about NVIDIA… 😳🤦

My friend, I have wonderful news. AMD, the manufacturer that you trust to write the closed source Windows drivers, is the same one that officially maintains the open source drivers for Linux…

You spent 2 whole days, yet never found that you can download them directly from the AMD website? What exactly were you doing for those 2 days??? https://www.amd.com/en/support/download/linux-drivers.html

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/AMDgpu_(Linux_kernel_module)

AMDgpu is an open source device driver for the Linux operating system developed by AMD

“Who the fuck knows what I just installed?”

This is honestly a great question; you’re on the right track here.

With closed source, the person that wrote the program decided that it should be impossible for you to answer that question.

With open source, the person that wrote the program wanted to make sure it is possible for you to answer that question.

Which of those 2 options is better and safer? I’ll stick with open source, personally, but install whatever you like on your own machine.

and on Mint

So it runs perfectly fine on Linux! That’s great news

Are we going to pretend that stuff being closed source prevents people from inserting bad shit in their code?

downloading home made drivers on GitHub

🙄 lol wut. Who hurt you?

Open source isn’t perfect, but it doesn’t have to be because it is better than it’s only alternative.

There are literally only 2 options: open source or closed source. One option offers you and anyone the ability to see the code that you are running for yourself, the other option is “trust me bro, nothing bad is in here”. Which of those do you prefer? Which do you think ends up with more malware? You think computer viruses include a link to the code on GitHub? Lol
