That’s not really the case with current Nvidia GPUs (yet anyway) - the Nvidia provided dkms driver is the best option outside very limited use cases

There’s not really an upgrade path from Mint to a rolling release distro like Fedora or Arch. The simplest thing to do is rsync -axHAX your /home directory onto external storage and then install Fedora, Bazzite, Arch or EndeavourOS and copy data back as needed.

+1, I only have a yt music sub because it’s grandfathered in with my yt premium subscription and extra drive storage. YT music recommendations are mildly terrible compared to Spotify, but I’m not throwing $15/mo at Spotify when I only use it a few times a year.

I don’t think anything tops Trump bankrupting a casino. Twatter has always run at a loss Muskrat just accelerated that burn rate exponentially.

But you see, he was high and his opinions were being censored by those evil SF leftists

I’ve been waiting for him to find some way to turn the loss into a bailout for a year now. If there’s one thing he’s good at it’s robbing the public.

That’s a good start, now keep going

Look at MIT and UC Berkeley’s CS curricula and start tackling things that you haven’t covered. They’re both available freely online and you might still be able to find video recordings of Cal’s lectures somewhere (they recorded every class for students who weren’t present or had difficulty understanding in real time until 2015 or so but were hit with an ADA accessibility lawsuit because they weren’t captioned or something.)

Is the 16gb partition the first partition? If so I’d just dd the 128gb drive at the 32gb drive then fix the partition table and remove the others.

If it’s not the first partition use gparted to copy it to the new drive.

CA here, that’s the game plan after they’ve pocketed premiums for 50+y

Well well well, if it isn’t the consequences of our inactions

It’s a six year old system. Optimistically you’ll be able to salvage the PSU, case and storage. Whether you should salvage the PSU and case is up to you, prebuilts aren’t known for picking the best of these.

Personally I’d use the machine for something else (or sell it to someone for $300-400) and build what you want. (Edit: I’ve had good results moving the core system components into a USFF or NAS case and repurposing as a home server. That’s a pretty typical end of lifecycle role for an aging gaming desktop.)

There should be no bailouts without an equivalent equity transfer from the bailee to the government

Incoming FOX “we’re just an entertainment network” defense in 3, 2, 1

Why are we tolerating this criminal behavior by corporations?

Because it’s done in the open and it’s accepted as part of the cost of the device. This is an expected consequence of our adtech surveillance economy where devices are now subsidized because they can harvest data about you, your usage and your behavior to sell on an ongoing basis. We’ve been screaming about these sorts of practices since the late 90s and consumers have just blithered right along with every new and creepy intrusion because they get cheap things and don’t think about the real costs or consequences. And so … Here we are.

I’m just waiting for them to add a sideband channel to some LoRa network so they can exfiltrate data even when their devices are “offline”

Even being able to generate enough lift to send a payload into orbit would be an amazing advancement. We can solve propelling craft out of the solar system later, first we need an economical way to get off planet that isn’t just burning fuel to lift fuel.
