Yeah, one of the earliest cultivars

Of course it is!

It depends whether you're English or American. Spelt is English.

It offers a good installer, a decent out of the box setup, useful helper scripts, and a helpful community. That's a lot more than Arch!

Antivaxx is nonsense everywhere

Oh, I thought it connected to a cat flap to allow the cat to experience outside

I'd like to get away from Microsoft, so it's on my to do list, I just haven't got around to it yet. I do use Eclipse so perhaps it makes sense to use Theia as well.

Good God! According to the Debian wiki, they're still on 535, no wonder they don't work properly! Still, if you use Debian, you know what you're getting in to. You'll also have more fun* when the kernel or nvidia drivers update.

Man, that tells a story!

I dare say that you could replicate the same mess in C#, PHP, Python, C++, or any other object oriented language. Just because people write bad code, it doesn't mean the language is bad.

True, but you're not going the Nvidia website, finding and downloading a .run file, manually installing it, and then manually maintaining it which is what I was talking about.

I've had a brief look around and it seems fine for me.

Each distro has it's own way of installing the drivers, Mint uses a driver Manager GUI, endeavour OS uses the nvidia-inst script, but ultimately, they come the repositories of the distro.

As long as you don't make the mistake of downloading them directly from Nvidia, it should be straight-forward.

Sometimes I think about doing this, but then I remember that Linux is not my hobby these days, it's my productivity platform.

One I follow is the KDE Blog (https://blogs.kde.org/index.xml#feed)

Yeah, I started my journey in about 2001. Linux was definitely more geeky back then.

They are beautiful kitties.
