👑 the goat is here

Could try dual booting to see how your hardware works

Bazzite has a build for the older proprietary nvidia drivers, I'm pretty sure 1080s dont get the open source variant of the driver unfortunately 😔

https://github.com/NVIDIA/open-gpu-kernel-modules

https://download.bazzite.gg/bazzite-nvidia-stable-amd64.iso this is the download for the proprietary nvidia kde iso

https://download.bazzite.gg/bazzite-gnome-nvidia-stable-amd64.iso this one is for gnome

I don't know how well the proprietary driver runs, I assume if you got it running on another linux distro this will work fine

Works fine with the nvidia open drivers, what gpu you got

Nvidia open source drivers are working pretty good, I have no complaints. Local AI stuff can be a little annoying to setup as a beginner I bet, but if you run it through llama.cpp its smooth sailing. I recommend something like StabilityMatrix (app image) if you have no clue whats going on

Idk, android is basically an immutable linux distro. Seems to work fine for the whole world really

Immutable distros imo help developers with this issue of subvariants a lot. Each immutable distro will have the same behavior, the only difference is hardware interactions. This helps with debugging.

Y'all is a perfect word I will not allow anyone to hate on it

So what everyone already knew. It would also be stupid of Russia not to demand areas up to Crimea so that Ukraine can't try to shut water off to Crimea again.

Surprised they elected a 25 year old tbh

I like it when buttons can be reached entirely by my thumb without overstretching it. Feel like anything that isn't that is a design failure.

CoMaps has it on the docket to add opt in traffic at some point.

GrapheneOs is currently discussing some stuff with OEMs but more help wouldn't hurt I bet.

My phone uses like 30 on idle 🫠

If your only exposure is steamos bazzite might be easier for you

The issue ends up being a hardware limitation. I can't quite recall the specific issue but there was some sort of encoding thing on the CPU that prevented me from using most apps without severe performance issues. Of course browsing and so on was fine. I ended up using it as a server for some time (20 Years old at this point) and the energy costs were bad enough that I decided to put it to rest. Its now part of my own little museum of old ass computers that I let guests use for mostly for viewing pdfs and boardgame rules. I tell my family to ship me their old laptops and stuff I got like 15 of them at this point, and I have in fact used all 15 of them simultaneously when I invite a lot of nerds over. Most of them are running Fedora Atomic, a couple are running MX Linux, Alpine, and Damn Small Linux. I intend on going through the small distros at some point and do a comparison

Llms will start randomly shitting out hexbear emotes lol

I only really begin to feel a computer is too old for complicated tasks at around 15 years I think
