  • You can't use it with programs that aren't specifically coded to use it. Outside of hash cracking, AI training and crypto mining, few programs are.

    If you mean from a developer perspective, you need to download the CUDA libraries and read through the documentation.

  • Reverse engineering CUDA can bring other benefits. It allows AMD to see what nVidia is doing right and potentially implement it in their own tech. Having not only documentation but a working implementation can help wonders in this regard.

    Or maybe they did want to use it but was scared of getting SLAPPed by Nvidia, so instead let the dev open source it.

  • The problem is that if we make CUDA the standard, then they put nVidia in control of a standard. nVidia could try to manipulate the situation in future versions of CUDA by reworking it to fuck with this implementation, giving AMD a shaky name in the space.

    We saw this happen with Wine, where although probably not deliberately, MS made Windows compatibility a moving and very unstable target.

    That is something tolerable by open source communities, but isn't something that will fly for official support.

  • The problem there is that what people come to learn about the Windows OS becomes ingrained into them as "how to use a computer".

    Almost all of that goes out the fucking window when you jump to a non-Windows OS, but especially Arch.

  • Ohhh...they're fucking around with FreeRDP? Why?! Even for someone who comes from Windows, how did they not just go 'fuck this, there's got to be a better way' and spend 5 more minutes Googling to find Remmina?

  • Can confirm. SSH is the standard under Linux. OP will be happy to note that Windows has an inbuilt SSH client since Windows 10 that functions nearly identical to its Linux equivalent.

  • I can believe it. Because OP is trying to make Linux work like Windows. Note how for remote access, they jump straight to RDP and don't even bother with SSH. Which Windows 10/11 has a native client for.

  • I mean, 2 girls 1 cup would have never been on any TV station. Real decapitations probably not either. Some of the graphic war footage we see today, some of it might be on TV but the real gory stuff, not really.

    That stuff was available. You just had to go out of your way to go see it. The same mostly applies to today's internet.
