It's a Linux distro made specifically with gaming on Nvidia GPUs in mind. It's basically Arch, but GPU drivers are included with the installation, and Steam, Proton, and Wayland are already installed and configured for you.

Great performance and perfect for people who don't want to set up all this stuff themselves, but like I said earlier, no NV Control Panel or NV App.

It also comes with a "Dr460nized" theme that you may or may not like. It reeks of early 2000s adolescence, but I was a teenager in that era so I kind of like it. Of course you can easily disable it and use a more mature theme if you'd like.

For a first time Linux gamer I'd recommend Garuda.

It would work but you'll be missing some features (e: even in distros meant for NV GPUs, like Garuda), especially the Nvidia Control Panel and Nvidia App.

That means no access to the 3D Settings page, so if you need to adjust a graphics setting that isn't in-game, you can't. (Like which performance mode the GPU runs in and other settings that can decrease display lag and increase FPS; if you play competitive games it can be a hindrance to not have access to these settings.)

That also means no RTX HDR, so you'll be forced to to watch SDR YouTube videos and play SDR games in SDR (games and videos with native HDR support will still work, of course). There is no native conversion to HDR in Linux (you can still convert offline videos with MPV, though), which is a damn shame cause even SDR content looks great when converted. Especially games.

That said, if you don't have an HDR display and don't play competitive games, you might be able to get by just fine without the features offered by the Nvidia App and Control Panel. Yeah it sucks that you won't get every feature the GPU supports, but then again you didn't pay for it, so it's not like you're not getting your money's worth.

By doing the same thing the person in the article did: not using my credit. I'm also currently "unscoreable". As far as I'm concerned, no credit score is better than a bad one, so I'll take it.

This happened to me too. I'm actually relieved because my credit score was in the shitter. Now I'm back to a clean slate.

Malcovich!

I'm glad that people are finally starting to realize that it's a lot more efficient to simply run your air conditioner in reverse. Ten years ago people were ripping them out to replace them with a furnace.

3.1 was my first OS too. JezzBall and Chip's Challenge went hard.

Did your dad ever find out if it was real, or if it was Memorex?

Real Gs had Windows XP Black Edition burned to a CD. This appears to be vanilla XP.

We have them here. I don't mind them cause they just hang out in trees all day and don't bother me.

Wow I'm glad that it's dry as fuck where I am. Giant insects slamming into your doors sounds horrifying.

It's one of my favorite episodes in the entire series, so definitely do have a look.

Kevin Rose is in charge again? I thought he sold Digg after the massive failure that was v4 back in 2010.

Either way, I'm glad to see that digg is coming back. Reddit needs more competition. I'm hopeful that they will succeed this time around and steal back the user base that migrated to reddit and helped make them become the evil giant they are today (I am one such migrant).

You mean "feibniz"? (I will never not see that character as a lowercase "f")

You have the patience of a saint.

That ticket is never going to get responded to. Make another one, and if they don't answer within 3 days, start blowing up their phones.

This is why I disabled notifications for all of my work-related apps.

I miss the days when reddit was full of tech-minded people (back when they had to compete with Digg). These days it's full of normies, and normies tend to be fucking idiots. Just look at any YouTube comment section.

Ah okay that makes sense. I prefer a peeler, but I can see purists preferring such a knife. Thanks for the info.
