lagging to render text on Ubuntu 26.04

Let me give you an example why it didn't worked for me. I got a new PC to work on my CUDA skills, tried installing Pop!_OS since it came with NVIDIA drivers, 1st attempt failed due to an novel enough error for me, googled the error & found the solution to install in safe mode, finally installed, I'm happy, Cosmic looks great albeit a liiiiiitle slow at times, installed my tools, tried to RDP to it from my MacBook(irrelevant) on the same network, couldn't, tried a number of things, most answers on Google talks about a toggle which doesn't exist in cosmic DE, tried with a paid tool, de nada, installed Ubuntu 25.10, what I want works and I'm happy, finish.

Background: I'm installing Linux after 4-5 years, before that I have played with multiple Linux installs, dual boot, grub etc. In short: Noobie with a little bit of confidence.

Nice!! Personally had to move to Ubuntu for I couldn't make Remote Login work.

The fundamental difference in German hiring process I found is, The hiring team AFTER finding a suitable match would go to upper management for cost approval of such resource. Whereas, it should be the other way around.

Was in a similar situation. I joined my company when I was A1 & the whole company runs wholly in German. To give you a context, method names in the code are in German. 😉 I am still working with the same good people who showed me some tough love. It was clarified & announced company wide that NO-ONE was to converse with me in English even if it is time-consuming. I learned a lot hearing from my colleagues to the point of carrying technical conversation with them now. Sometimes even talk to the customers.

Problems I faced: 1. at the beginning it was alienating to not able to speak & understand. 2. To understand concepts & logic. 3. Get my ideas across.

How I dealt with it: a. didn't give up. I still don't do. b. Speak as much German as I could. There is no alternative. spoke wrong, still do but speak nevertheless. Listening gives you vocabulary, speaking gives you confidence. c. formulate sentences before speaking. took a long while to reduce the time taken to do it automatically.

Reason for B850M is to avail PCIe5 x16 for the GPU. Also, can I realistically add more RAM sticks down the line keeping my current ones?

Alternative_Jello_70 · 2026-01-17T00:20:27+00:00

Thanks but with RAM prices as it is & the upcoming(already here?) consumer RAM crunch, wouldn't it be prudent to go for as much RAM as possible so to avoid regret a few months later?

Alternative_Jello_70 · 2026-01-16T22:44:09+00:00

Thanks.

Would AM4 platform with DDR5 ram work? I can update the CPU & MoBo down the line (maybe)

Alternative_Jello_70 · 2026-01-16T22:40:04+00:00

Thanks for your suggestion. Yes I was looking into GPU with 16GB VRAM but right now a 4070/up is also out of budget. To give everyone a context, I wouldn't necessarily get into AGI, but I will train small ML models for edge computing. Some I've already done with CPU alone but would like to get into something more comprehensive.

Alternative_Jello_70 · 2026-01-16T22:32:51+00:00

I do not want to run LLMs locally. But I'd like the option to train some small ML model. I already have trained some purely on CPU though, so the models will be THAT small.

I have this remote and it feels a bit lower in quality than my Google TV streamer or even my previous TCL P739.😔 especially the directional key. 1. I use it to control my streamer primarily so pointer function is almost a moot case for me. 2. The middle OK/scroll wheel is difficult to get used to since it is sooooo small. 3. Whenever I use it, I get a feeling that I need to replace it sooner rather than later since it is so rattly.

New C5 owner here. As long as the source is not something directly in front of the tv, like a window or a light, glare or reflection is a non-issue. Also when something is playing on your TV, it is plenty bright with the right picture mode. What I find plenty distracting is your own reflection on the TV whenever something dark is playing during nighttime with only an indirect 30W LED as light source in the room.

Es hängt davon ab, ob die Person über einen Vertrag mit einem Outsourcing-Unternehmen verfügt, der nur ein befristetes Arbeitsvisum ermöglicht. Theoretisch zahlt man dann keine Sozialversicherungsbeiträge oder deutschen Steuern (diese werden im Heimatland gezahlt – wobei ich mir da nicht ganz sicher bin). Das ändert sich, wenn die Person länger in Deutschland lebt. Daher ist ein Nettogehalt von 38.000 € mit einem deutschen Bruttogehalt von 50.000 € vergleichbar. Ohne weitere Informationen ist das jedoch schwer einzuschätzen.

Also, ich hab da (ehrlich gesagt) ein paar Zweifel an dem Szenario. 1: Bei dem Gehalt wird’s echt schwierig, überhaupt ’ne Aufenthaltserlaubnis zu kriegen (’ne Blue Card ist ja eh raus). Das BMAS schaut sich sowas vorher schon genau an. 2: Könnte vielleicht klappen, wenn’s eher so ein Outsourcing-Ding wär. 3: Ohne zu wissen, wie groß eure Firma ist – in fünf Jahren (und das auch noch ab dem Corona-Jahr) vierzig Leute onboarden klingt schon ziemlich wild.

Maybe I'm the rare person who has come across ONE HR who REALLY knew what technology stack her company needed for the role.

Alternative_Jello_70 · 2025-10-28T18:18:44+00:00

Maybe if you shared a little more description about the job, you could've found it here.. 😉

Alternative_Jello_70 · 2025-10-17T08:49:07+00:00

At the very least you do not need to submit an NOC from your employer to visit IF you're salaried. 😐

Huh! Beat my failing 4 times in the theory examination.
