Back in my days I was also disappointed that schools weren’t using Linux. So I totally agree with you.

Linux was always ready for the education sector. I think already for 10 years now.

Look. I use both nvidia and amd video cards for 20 plus years.

The experience under Linux using amd in factually better than Nvidia. Mainly because AMD open source their drivers and are part of the kernel.

You can’t deny this fact. The only down side of open source in this particular case is the stupid HDMI Forum people, who do not allow us to have the latest hdmi implementation for 4k 120hz in an open source driver. Which is part of the license, where consumers are paying for. So that is ridiculous from the hdmi forum.

Anyhow, the user is free to choose whatever video card they wish to use. Hack try even the latest Intel Gpus. But also with Intel the firmware update are horrible outdated and they do not maintain they sht

lol? This is the best advice I can give people… What is wrong with you?

On your next pc go with an amd gpu. Just saying.

Currently linux mint offers an easy way to install Nvidia drivers. Avoid compiling the drivers from source.

its a April’s fool joke yes.

Wonderful, I’m already using Linux.

I use Framework 13 with AMD for my Linux laptop, love it. I do not want to go back to any other brand.

Yeah, he didn’t share any information about the brand or vendor.

Some vendors also have multiple BIOS-es on the same GPU card (like one overclocked BIOS, and the other is a “normal” BIOS).

You could check if there is a physical switch to switch between modes on your GPU. And see if the other GPU BIOS is also behaving like this.

Floorp :)

This is my computer currently, running Linux.

The reason why I would choose linux mint. Is the stability of the whole distro. It’s pretty solid. You can still upgrade kernels. Or even install mainline kernel tool if you wish.

Furthermore, Linux mint provide an easy tool to install drivers, in case you’re running a Nvidia card. And Mint is just basically Ubuntu under the hood,without the crap of Ubuntu. Meaning mint also support PPAs (personal package repositories). If you wish to get some updated package.

I run Linux Mint for years and years, I think you will be happy with it.

That is why you have KVMs…

@ExtremeDullard@lemmy.sdf.org You’re doing it wrong. Just setup a KVM behind your server. So then you never need to leave home again.

You’re welcome to join me.

and a good opportunity to raise funds.

This is what really matters I think, people should become more and more aware that yes Free software is great (I’m maintaining several open source projects myself). But all these contributors, including myself, are not or almost not funded, while many users /devs/server admins might use and depend upon your software.

If only 5% of the people who use the software in anyway would donate or sponsor these open source and free software projects, that would already be a huge win! Just know that a lot of developers are getting burned out.

Nintendo once had to patch Tetris because players were stacking blocks so perfectly that the game started running out of pieces and crashed.
