You can really feel the attitude

Dies ist eine deutsche Kommune; Wir benehmen uns dementsprechend.

GentOwO gang!

Lol there are two types of people. Those who use the metric system, and those who lose to Vietnamese peasants in the jungle.

No fox to give.

Real

Kill it. With fire before it lays eggs.

I wish I could spell 🙈

Geriatocracy is a good word. Putting it in my active vocaulary.

Okay you have a point. Maybe I was too quick to let loose an anxious post.

Thanks! It seemed to me that this’d mean I had to run something like my custom kernel which I have to forever maintain myself.

Thanks for pointing me to the correct solution. I figure out implementation.

This is actually difficult for me. When the wiki starts talking about custom kernels, I don’t fully understand it yet. I’m learning, but that’s where things stop being obvious.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Anyway thanks for pointing me to the exact location. My struggle is knowing what to implement / what the correct solution is. See, now that I know install nvidia-580xx-dkms is the right thing and won’t break things I know what to do. (if that makes sense?)

R/n I have the card just deactivated. Not looking to play AAA games but using this laptop as a “player 2” for Minecraft multiplayer.

It’s just thst deactivating the card and calling it dead silicon seems a tad sad…

Ah! This was key information I did not understand before. Thanks.

Ah. I begin to understand. Thank you for the clarification. This takes away some of the having to do something new anxiety.

Thank you for a nuanced answer. I start understanding.

For people who’ve gone the linux-lts66 (or similar) route from AUR: is that something you’d consider “set and forget,” or does it eventually turn into a kind of babysitting?

Maybe I don’t understand. Here’s what I got form the news. I can install nvidia-580xx-dkms from AUR but it needs be build for my kernel. So everytime I run pacman -Syu I risk a kernel update thst needs me to manually rebuild dkms. Right? Feels like anxiety before each update…

Relatively new to this. Probably missing things I haven’t heard of.

Haha funny, and do maintenance with every single update. No thanks.

But are we talking a couple of years or a couple of months till Debian rolls to 590?

How is steam on FreeBSD these days? Main use for this laptop would be playing “old” games like DarkSouls.
