I was hoping it would be too TBH. DNF5 is looking promising and I know Fedora can game. Maybe it's just a quirk of the Cinnamon Spin of it. Probably isn't but I can't think of what else it could've been.
Yup, this is my work desktop with the sole purpose of it being for work. The last thing I want to do or desire to do on it is configure my machine to get to the point I can start working. Mint does that
Depends on what it is. There are no "Blueprints" online (as much as I wish there was), but there are repositories of 3D Printable models, like Thingiverse from Ultimaker and Printables from Prusa Research. For example if you wanted a replacement Stylus for your Nintendo DS or 3DS you can download them for free. For really popular things (or things nerds love), you'll find a model
However as the idiot who made the 3DS stylus, I had to make the models myself with a pair of caliper and dozens of test prints. It takes time and patience but the effort is usually worth it since the next time it much less and reduces the more you make.
Fusion 360 or Tinker CAD are good starting software, with FreeCAD, or OpenSCAD as alternative. With Blender if you prefer modeling like clay.
Ender3S1 is a Good Starter printer for cheap, with Bamboo Lab and Prusa being the go to community printers. My preference is Ender and Prusa since there are replacement parts easily available.
I am currently using a NVMe to USB-C adapter right now. And while loading is reminding me a bit of the early 2010's, it's fast enough to play games on it. I am aware that there are NVMe to PCI adapter, I'm just being cheap. Though when I hit the point of editing I'll probably move over to that.
I have a personal distain towards Ubuntu which is why its not installed. With that said, I didn't install POP_OS because it didn't have Cinnamon. That said I see it on the same level as Mint since it includes an easy co fig and setup.
I've just spent too much time configuring Pop to look like Windows that I just cut the BS and install Cinnamon/KDE plasma and aim for distros that support it.
That's what I did the first install and it borked my install. Most troubleshooting said it was a TPM thing, but nothing I tried could recover the desktop so I had to resinstall.
On that note, you don’t need to buy books from Amazon, Google, Apple or Kobo. And no I’m not talking about raising the Jolly Roger.
Project Gutenberg offers public domain books for free to anyone in all the formats. While Overdrive or Libby offers you Books, newspapers magazines, and audiobooks for the low low cost of a free library card. Down side on Libby is wait times for some things. Audiobooks can be worse, upto a month or more for the most popular books.
A 3D Printer and CAD software, especially if you can get around free software.
Break a plastic thingy, why spend $50 on a replacement when you can make one. On no that broke, learn why and make it better.
I’m at the point where I can 3D print small tablet cases, and it’s funny watching the included injection moulded accessories fall apart, while mine is going strong.
It’s not for everyone, and there is a skill gap that’s bigger than most people are comfortable jumping. But if you have the desire/want to learn CAD or 3D printing, it will pay for itself, if you use it right.
My distain toward Fedora is IBM/fedoras obstinate to not deliver non-FOSS apps in the official repos. I understand their decision. But forcing users rely on third party projects like RPM Fusion to use non free apps doesn't feel like a good solution.
If Fedora offered out of the box or an easy method to enable this I wouldn't have an issue. Even dnf can be forgiven if it didn't ask so much from the end user.
Well there wasn't much to say. Other than importing videos requires you to extract the audio first in pcm/mp3 or making a new container. The editing experience is the same for my use case.
I experienced no hick ups before resolve made me wait a week before I can use it again. The only issue I have is that there is no Title Bar so closing and minimizing resovle isn't straight forward.
Edit: I was more preoccupied with whether or not Resolve would boot.
So if there was anything specific you'd like to know I can check it out and report back.
Currently my CPU is going for $75, the Ryzen 7 3700x is going for around $175 CAD, while the 5700x is $250CAD, and the 5900x is $350 CAD.
For the price increase especially for an older platform which will be GPU limited I am having a hard time justifying a $100 price increase from ryzen 7 to 9. From 3000 to 5000 it’s easier to justify if I had the extra cash. But for a budget the 3700x is a good upgrade.
My single threaded work load situation is FreeCAD, which is pretty unoptimized. That said my 13th gen Intel laptop is currently faster. Which is why if I am dropping that kind of money I'd go Intel.
That said, as AM5 takes off, and AM4 starts to drop in price, I may go that way. Just depends on how much the CPU costs when I eventually buy it used.
It booted into a GUI afterwards, and had grub installed.
