Good mor---

Good afternoon, :QuarteredCircle: Radians!

If it weren't for the sleeping in on a Sunday I wouldn't be getting enough sleep. Today I've got a Silat class to teach, then D&D. I am hoping the craptastic video issue stays quite enough for my game, then I can re-attack that in the morning. I did love the fact that thanks to @linuxmemes, I feel seen.

I count myself lucky for holding on to my 1080ti for as long as I did - by the time I made the switch to Linux the drivers were pretty stable
- 1080 here :)
- 970 and the drivers are still shite
- Still using my 1070
- 750 Ti, and the driver is still garbage. on plasma wayland had to turn off window previews on taskbar for the environment to not freeze randomly. a kernel update earlier there was an 80% chance the whole thing would crash after login on the firsf frame of the desktop, or before that. gamescope has problems thanks to nvidua unique things: FSR is pure blackness but even without that, games are tearing and slow while even a test animation like vkcube maxes out a cpu core of a cpu that's not nearly that bad. and that's just been the product of a single week of linux usage on the desktop.
- @wingsfortheirsmiles Up until last week, I was getting by pretty well, but now...

Seeing my meme being reposted after just 5 days feels rather affirming. Nvidia drivers really suck. 😁
Because of the price of the recent gen or because it doesn't work?

With the recent driver versions I have zero problems with my 3070 on Fedora.
- Probably referencing the power delivery problems. IIRC, all of the power on the 5090s is being delivered over one wire, making them hot enough to start fires.
  
  Edit: My brain can't hold context for more than 30 seconds, apparently
  
  What's the context you were missing?
That was posted here just four days ago.
- @Diplomjodler3 Yeah, that's where I was reposting it from. I was trying to cite the source, not realizing that was reposting it. I edited my original post so hopefully it doesn't carry through any further.
Had to get steam deck, cheapest computer I could get that was made for Linux and gaming. My gaming laptop is more powerful but yet fucking Nvidia won't work on it. And yes I did literally everything I can do. It's a lost cause. Now I only use it for looking for a job and some intense games that can't run on my steam deck.
Ok, this was my first out-loud laugh of the day. I really like the MJ docuseries. And I also work in tech / have an affinity for tech. And nothing works anymore, so this got me. I like it.

Edit: because I’m scrolling on my phone and my computer, this has made me laugh three times.
