This is highly depressing to see first thing in the morning.

Quod Libet can do all of these things to my knowledge. It is currently my favorite linux music player.

A 33MHz DX 486was great. If you got stuck with a slower SX CPU, things were frequently not so hot.

I’ve had great luck using Intel NUCs as home servers and HTPC boxes. Since those are now gone, I have found that Beelink is the most cost effective replacement when I needed to revamp the setup. My biggest complaint on them is that the cooling fans on them are not super reliable and it is not easy to find compatible replacements. I had to order them direct from China and there are a few wiring incompatible variants. I ended up with one of them being the wrong type and I had to resolder the leads to match the existing broken fan.

This isn’t surprising since 4Chan always loved using DDos-style shenanigans against sites. This is just the D&D version. I’m surprised they didn’t call it the “Low Orbit Peasant Cannon”.

Fwiw, mine has worked with no issues on any of my Linux PCs.

I definitely had issues with my 3070. I ran it in Linux for 4 years before recently switching back to AMD. It was usually only minor issues like it not playing well with certain DEs, but sometimes certain driver versions would make my system unusable/unbootable until I could roll them back. I am glad some people never had it happen, but pretending like it wasn’t a thing just makes you ignorant.

I have used both AMD and Nvidia cards on Linux for a long time and with Nvidia it’s mostly fine now days, but their driver situation tends to be fine until the rare time that it isn’t. I switched back to AMD last year due to the occasional driver issue that left me dead in the water. And by occasional I mean like once every year or so, not something common. It is entirely possible that you’ll never have much of an issue, but I started to take note of my Nvidia driver versions and and especially noted when GPU drivers were updated so that I had some notion of where to try to roll back to if I ran into issues. I haven’t had any issues like that with my AMD cards for a long, long time in Linux (with Windows obvious the situation was more of the reverse of this).

Sure is

I ditched reddit for good two years ago. Now I just use Lemmy, Tildes, and Lobste.rs
