Are you using DX11?

I am actually running Arch and have had very little issues with Nvidia, but plenty with my AMD GPUs.

Haven't had many issues either. My Nvidia 3090 has given me way less trouble than both my Vega 64 and Radeon 680M.

I don't get why people bringing up AMD issues always get down voted. The bias is real. I too am getting constant freezes with my Radeon 680M that have gone unresolved for almost a year.

Quite a few people are experiencing this so it isn't an isolated issue: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/amd/-/issues/2220

ZFS also requires a lengthy DKMS build step to compile a kernel module.

Modern ads aren't simply bits of text or animated gifs anymore. They're full tracking platforms that rely on analyzing a person's usage in order to deliver them targeted ads. It's much harder to do that over RSS.

And they don’t track every minute thing you do

You sure about that? I just bought my mom a new iPad Air yesterday and the setup process was maddeningly privacy invading. Name, address, and phone number just to install anything from the Apple store. Both me and my mom, who's not tech savvy at all, thought it was crazy the amount of info we had to put in just to get a usable device.

and act like malware to try to make you use their products.

There was also so many preloaded garbage apps installed by default. Why are apps like Measure there? Yes when I want to measure something...I reach for an iPad...instead of...you know...a tape measure... Just because they're first party apps doesn't make this okay. Also, Apple's ecosystem is famous for vendor lock-in.

They may not be as blatant about it as Google is, but they're every bit as bad tbh.

Wordpad is WYSIWIG, the alternatives you mentioned are more for replacing Notepad.

But yeah, why use WordPad when LibreOffice exists?

It's because RSS doesn't allow you to serve ads and every tech company right now is either feeling the squeeze or feeling the greed.

I've been using the Battle.net client and playing D4 just fine by adding it as a Steam shortcut and running via Proton. It also works fine in Lutris for me. Shame about the user agent check tho.

Dude I would not be alive to make a Lemmy comment if one of those things dropped into my lap mid-drive...but that's just me and my phobias lol.

You should add this to protondb.

It's been 4 years, that's one hell of a lucky streak. Eh, the UI is fine, way better than syncthing's anyways and its client has working partial sync. I get that you have hate for Nextcloud, but personally I am not about the mess of disparate tools in your post just to get something equivalent to Nextcloud tbh. To each their own.

I take it you've never seen the amount of crap that gets put into journalctl then. I've never encountered a Nextcloud crash with the amount of data I have. It could have been a deployment issue on your end. My docker containers have been running fine.

Eh, every page has a bunch of Javascript errors and logs. That's normal. So far it hasn't impacted my usage at all and I've got 450GB gigabytes stored in a Nextcloud instance that's lasted 4-years and migrated between 3 separate machines.

They did, which is a huge shame. You can get equivalent mini PCs from vendors like Minisforum tho.

It will be slow on the Pi, but it's pretty darned fast on my new DIY NAS with a Ryzen 5600x so it does scale with better hardware.

Excited for the changes, but unfortunately they broke the Vulkan renderer pretty badly, halving the performance.

I don't really see the better experience to be honest. Sure, AMD is a lot better on laptops, but on desktops I still prefer Nvidia. DLSS, raytracing, Optix, CUDA are all killer features that I need that AMD doesn't really have an answer for. Sure Wayland is great, but it doesn't outweigh the disadvantages of not having those technologies.

Meanwhile both my AMD GPUs (Vega 64 and Radeon 680M) have been crash happy with gfx timeouts and ring0 errors.

The ring issues are killing me right now on my Radeon 680M. This isn't brought up enough when people talk about using AMD on Linux.

Odd, Freesync should work for you though? What's the issue you're experiencing?
