Seems like a pretty poor article just used to provide referral links to VPNs.

Including Tux, they look like they’re from the 90s (probably because they are). I’m glad we don’t see much of the branding mascots anymore, even Tux isn’t really heard of now.

Can someone here sum up what happened as I can’t seem to find a simple answer online. I know he’s been done for fraud and fiddling his loans, but why does it add up to 355 million? I didn’t even think he was worth that much.

ChatGPT says Battle Maze or Battle Arena.

When I set up my Amazon devices there was an option for it to save my WiFi details but I always declined.

I recently switched from Windows 10 to Fedora so I can share my experience. I’ve dabbled with Linux in the past but there’s always been immediate issues which have caused me to never stay that long. It’s too easy to just ditch and go back when everything on Windows just works out of the box. I was getting sick of all the privacy issues so decided to totally bail and go balls deep. I found it easier to push through all the problems by adopting a mentality that I was living with this now and I eventually started to enjoy fixing all the problems (it took a few weeks). Everything’s working now and solutions are out there, you just need to google and power through.

Installing Steam and Nvidia drivers is easy. You open the settings of the “App Store” and enable third party repositories. Once you’ve done that the Nvidia drivers and Steam will turn up in there and can be installed with the click of a button.

However, and maybe I’m just unlucky, but the dream of Linux gaming has been an absolute non-starter for me. I guess people on Radeons may have more luck but with my 2060S I haven’t really gotten anything to play acceptably. Even with Proton-GE and whatever other hacks people talk about everything has been unstable, slow, or both, and that’s if it starts at all. I’m sure it’s probably just the certain games I’m trying to play but I ended up partitioning my drive and installing Windows 10 again just for gaming.

Something else to try is Nobara, it’s a Linux distro built for ease of use and gaming. If I’d heard of it earlier I’d probably have tried it first but I’ve got Fedora nicely set up and I don’t think it includes anything I can’t simply install myself.

Bit of a noob but what’s the practical differences between Apt and the others. I use Fedora and the only difference I notice is that instead of typing apt update and apt upgrade, I just type dnf update.

Thanks, I appreciate the reply and I read all of it. I do understand that nVidia are a bunch of fuckers and I’ll be looking elsewhere in the future but I simply needed CUDA at the time of buying. I took another look at my mobo and it only has one full sized PCI slot and it’s obviously got my nVidia card in it right now. Buying a new GPU plus mobo is simply too much when I can just dual-boot into Windows for now. I was planning on keeping Windows around for the sake of random bits of software I need and so my wife can occasionally use my computer (she won’t want to learn Linux). I’m not a serious gamer or anything, I’ll just have to live with it.

Using a guide I read, done through the terminal. That’s all I remember. How could I tell if I’m using Nouveau?

Are the built-in drivers somehow different to the ones you download?

Nonetheless getting a new graphics card is kind of the nuclear option. Would it actually help that much. DEATHLOOP would still crash surely?

It does actually only have two slots, and the other one can’t fit anything because the 2060 is too big.

edit: Correction, I only have one full sized slot.
