  • The AI cards prioritize compute density instead of frame rate, etc so you can’t directly compare price points between them like that without including that data. You could cluster gaming cards, though, using NVLink or the AMD Fabric thing. You aren’t going to get any where near the same performance, and you are really going to rely on quantization to make it work, but depending on your use case in self-hosting you probably don’t need a $30,000 card.

    Its not a scam, but its also something you probably don’t need.


  • What always gets me is recommendations for what seem like weird obscure distros that I’ve never heard of.

    What should I use for gaming? Well, for that you need Fizzlegit! It was released in 2025, is a derivative of a derivative of a derivative, and uses the same repos, but it has Steam preinstalled. Its totally next-gen!


  • Maybe something like Comparison, but you have to understand everything can be changed. So, Just because you have KDE, doesn’t mean you have to stick with Dolphin for files management, etc. Window managers are even more free form. You don’t get a file manager, or image viewer, or text editor. You get a window manager. You can use whatever you want to install though. You also have floating vs tiled windows.

    You might just look through screenshots in Google Images and see what looks good to you and then install that.




  • Wayland support differs between their display managers (GDM and SDDM). Outside of that and a few other low levels things that you probably wouldn’t care about, it is mostly just flavoring.

    And understand that its not a choice just between those two DEs. There are many others that you can use (ex. mate, cinnamon, etc), and even just window managers (ex. i3wm, hyprland, openbox, etc) you can mix and match with many other file managers,etc.







  • I noticed some comments saying “You can’t pirate free software”. I would take that as a challenge, so here’s how to pirate Lemmy.

    Firstly, “free” software is extremely rare. Lemmy isn’t free, its governed by the AGPLv3. Per the AGPLv3, if you pull the author attribution/licensing text, say “I made this” , and start distributing it out, you’ve committed copyright infringement and illegally distributed it (piracy). So, that means we CAN pirate Lemmy:

    1. Fork the existing Lemmy repo into our own project
    2. Remove all reference to the original authors and licensing and put your own name on it.
    3. Change the name to something else and start sharing it out.
    4. Optionally charge money for it

    NOTE: Never let someone tell you that you can’t do something.


  • I didn’t skim. You only wrote 3 lines…

    At this point you’re just trying to argue semantics like that will somehow make your non-points logically coherent. As for that last thing you wrote that you said you didn’t write, its verbatim from your later comment. so yeah you did say that. Literally just had to scroll up to find it, man. That wasn’t hard.

    Either way, doesn’t matter. You’re just backpedaling at this point trying to say you either didn’t say something or argue that I’m wrong because your analogies don’t make sense (like I’m responsible for your bad writing). I’ve given you terms to research, I hope you do better when you try to start arguments online in the future because you did a terrible job tonight. Later.


  • I’m not sure why you’d be struggling with this, honestly. You understand the proxy relationships you created in your weird one-offs right?

    “Don’t set my bones, Dr. Steve donated to X” is not the same as “I don’t want to donate to X”. You inserted yourself in the middle of it and then claimed in a life threatening situation he wouldn’t have an issue giving you money. You are not the tankie. You don’t matter in the OP’s decision regarding donations to the tankie. The roofers don’t matter in the OP’s decision regarding donations to the tankie. The tankie is the only one who matters in that scenario, it doesn’t matter who you inject between them as a shield.

    You might read about the separation of roles and responsibility. That’s not ignoring the point, its proving you have no point to be made.

    As for your other comment: You said you wouldn’t engage positively with someone you disagree with like the OP, but yet the OP is required according to you to engage positively with the developer who he disagrees with? If the OP can’t post about the dev in that way, why are you able to post about the OP in that way?

    If you still struggle with that, I don’t know what to tell you. Maybe look up “hypocrisy”?
