Nothing can touch Photoshop. They pay developers good salaries to implemend new features. For people who do media prouction and photography for $150,000, they only care about time, nothing else. I will always tell them to use Mac or Windows and Photoshop to get work done in a hurry and get paid.
GIMP does not exist or is s laughing joke for people who work full time in graphic design and photo production.
Everything does. The 1060 is ok as long as you do not play any games from the last 3 years.
Given your specs, I assume the power supply is in the 650 to 750 range, that won't handle the new hardware releases.
For you next system, I would suggest paying extra money for an extra nice case and a larger power supply than what you could use. That way with an expensive case and expensive power supply, in 5 years you'll only need to replace motherboard and processor, you will not have to take apart the whole system or build a whole new one. You simply disconnect all cables to.motherboard, unscrew it, take it, put in new board, CPU, RAM, connect all cables to board, you did a new platform upgrade.
I bought a 1000W power supply, I might max out at drawing 600W. It wasn't a waste of money. My system is 100% stable, PS is not working much with that load, it will still work very well when I do a platform upgrade in 3 years or so so no cable management since I will use the same case and power.
That's a first gen 4 core that has memory latency issues. The board could be too low end on VRM to handle a 5600x upgrade
Can you afford to build a brand new everything PC?
Do a search online of Telegram turning over user to government, they store your contacts and info.
For absolute privacy and security, stick with SimpleX for creating a different random ID for each contact you message, no 2 users will see the same ID from you.
As a secondary option, use Molly which is a modified version of Signal to remove proprietary dependancies.
Born one month after FreeBSD
That is a run off, complete your sentence.
There are ways around it if you are willing to put in the work and deal with incoveniences.
For example, never use native Android or iOS, flash a custom ROM, never install proprietary apps, just that cuts a lot out. Only use cash for all stores and services, never carry payment cards with you, that wipes out financial tracking. Never give real info to stores. Use email aliases so different people have a different address. Don't use Windows on computer if the prgrams you use are not exclusive to Windows.
Those can be the beginner steps to how to be almost invisible in society. One thing I've done is try to push people onto SimpleX chat app for messaging so I can have a different random ID with each person I message so there's no contact info to share. Even people I know in person, we hang out together, I try to get them on SimpleX in place of Signal.
Until someone gives legal notice to IBM lawyers forcing Red Hat source code to be released pulicly, all of this debating over it means jack nothing.
If nobody takes IBM to court, the matter is settled and all developers must accept Red Hat's choices.
If they dismiss the online talk, ignore all criticisms, and nobody pays for a lawsuit, the case is done and finished.
I'm not trying skip over your points, as I said from my first first, everybody can talk all they want, who has the power of persuasion or legal force to change IBM's decision?
I may be wrong, but I believe only the Linux Foundation is a position to call IBM CTO, President, whoever, and say "We heard about the changes to with holding Red Hat's source code, you will not be doing that, it shall remain public. If you want to discuss this further, please send your most expensive lawyers to our offices and we will explain in detail why you won't be doing that."
The GNU/Linux GPLv2 does not apply to any software developed and owned by Red Hat like all of the Red Hat security programs, that is not covered by the Linux license. If Red Hat never modifies or changes a single line of code in GNU/Linux, they are free to run closed source programs on top of it. They own .rpm file format so they have the legal freedom to make the system and all RH software proprietary.
That's how Rocky and Alma are now permanently locked out from accessing the code.
Is there a reason that Alma and/or Rocky shouldn't try to release their own version of SLES and SLED?
That's exactly what's already happened. Rocky and Alma are already no longer an option for a free version of Red Hat since Red Hat code is not allowed to be shared, it can only be viewed. Read their own words from Alma and Rocky, what they themself said about oing forward.
Red Hat can also change the license agreement further to include anyone proven to have published source code of Red Hat branded material agrees to pay a fee to Red Hat of no less than $10 million, or whatever price they want to put on it.
Everyone can scream about Red Hat, all they have to have to do is change some wording in agreement that includes fees(fines) for multi millions of dollars, BOOM! Red Hat becomes a proprietary system built on open source software.
SUSE says they will fork RHEL, but Alma and Rocky are over in terms of being a clone. People have asked for years why there is no free 1 to 1 clone of SLES and SLED. IBM is free to choose to turn all of RHEL in a proprietary development and lock it down, unless you can get a court order that says Red Hate's code must be made public, but I don't dare test IBM lawyers over any code that is not released under AGPLv3, only then I would.
I really don't care about RHEL. Unless companies want to buy their services to be allowed access to the software it, everyone should forget about Red Hat. It's done, it's gone. And there will never be a free version of Red Hat, so look at other long term alternatives.
Services like TCP/IP are daemons, they use Kb, it can be used as a very basic simple web server with only a shell to configure everything.
I am talking about on 32bit hardware, install a new release of any open source operating system, try using the latest release of a GUI web brwser Firefox or Chromium and see how well it runs, compared to even a dual core with 8GB 64bit OS.
How much would that lighten the kernel load, and potentially speed it up, doing a simple delete of all 32-bit code?
Given that 32bit has a hard limit of 4GB of RAM, it can't run anything that requires more than a terminal shell to run and none of the security protections like memory address randomization.
Copy and send the 32bit code to someone for archive and historical purposes, then do a Select All and push delete, erase the code fron the kernel file.
Everyone is going to have to accept that RHEL is over and done. Since paying customers are not allow to release the code publicly, overtime it could turn into its own ooerating system that happens to use the Linux kernel, similar to Android.
Forget about Red Hat, they're gone, they're not an option for any small company. Individuals should never have been using Red Hat, but companies are going to have to find something else like Debian/Devuan, FreeBSD, something with a stable branch that gets 3 to 4 years of updates.
The 4090 is the first solid 4K everything video card, but the 4K standard is coming, including video cards that start at 16GB and go up from there. 4K movies. More game engines will develop textures in 4K. You not being interested is not the same as the market shifting that way. 4K OLED is not the expensive premium they used to be for such a gorgous picture.
If somone wants high framerate, 1440 will always be there. I believe all future graphics cards technologies will be developed with the intention of targeting the hardware demands of 4K 120fps. Cards for 1440p 165hz are already available.
Future consoles will do 4K, people who only watch TV or stream to TV, all 4K, only PC muiltiplayer will care about high framerates but not for console, so 1440 will slways be available for lower hardware systems, similiar to 1080p is currently.
I plan to buy maybe the 2nd highest GPU in 2 years and then the year after buy a 4K screen, possibly OLED, as those prices continue dropping year after year. I never play multiplayer so I will be doing well with 4K 120fps.
How much are you enjoying the giant uplift in performance?
The specs are very good, there's nothing to change on it. But I garauntee that 7600 will barely be crawling in 3 years, unless you play 8 year old games. Test to see if GPU is bottlenecking rhe 12700.
The next generation will have GDDR7, textures get bigger every year, and I do buy games every year, but there's a reason 16GB VRAM is not ridiculous.
Between higher resolution like when 4K is the norm in the years ahead, working towards 8K and games demanding higher performance from GPU, in 6 years your 7600 might be a $10 add-on card.
Do you know about SimpleX?
