From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Going from nvidia to amd (sh.itjust.works)

submitted 1 year ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

As many already know, nvidia is not the best choice for linux and amd is always recommend when it is brought up, so here id like to ask an equivalent to my graphics card in amd, i know nothing about amd and dont really know where to start honestly.

GPU: gtx 1660 super processor: 11th gen i5-11400 2.60hgz x 6

what would be a similar or better choice from amd in terms of gpu that maybe doesnt cost an arm and a leg? Do nvidia or amd matter in terms of games?

any help would be very appreciated

Alas, that is sadly not just a Linux problem for once, but an internet problem

Its a moderation problem. Same on reddit. An active mod will comment (or outright remove) if a comment is not helpful or outright toxic.

People seem to think that a world without rules will work. I‘m autistic and mindblind and even I understand that while this would work for me (I make my own rules for myself based on morality and religiously adhere to them) it does not work for 90% of the population. Therefore moderation is required.
