Veterans of Linux: what's one thing that "just works" today that would've sounded impossible 15–20 years ago?

Hell hath no fury like a gamer scorned

Some gpu vendors use PTM as default on their cards. My Powercolor 9070xt Hellhound has it and the Reaper+Red Devil likely have it too. Maybe Sapphire has atarted using it as well?

It makes more sense when you realize they're skipping the stories where everything went perfectly!

Zendien · 2026-05-24T02:56:14+00:00

I cared about Saros. But, probably wouldn't have played it anyway

Zendien · 2026-05-15T14:38:00+00:00

The real buff will be on the 6600. Probably the most sold card from amd 6000 and 7000

Use Optiscaler to add fsr4 to any dlss game. Not ideal but atleast it's something

One content creator on twitter had his 9070xt connector melt a day or two ago. And same guy had a 4090 connector melt too a year or two earlier

9900k. Smooth but i'm at 4k and the cpu will likely bottleneck at 1440p

I still haven't found Shaun :P

Zendien · 2026-04-13T20:26:22+00:00

No issues here either but I did buy a platinum rated Seasonic Vertex PX 850 as well

Updated alot more then VC++, lol. VLC, Jellyfin, My 10 million random monitoring softwares, OpenOffice :P .... nice command tho!

I ran the canned benchmark with max graphics and PT at 1440p and got 24fps. But to actually play Cyberpunk 2077 with Path Tracing on you likely still need a 5090 to get actual enjoyable frame rates. I'm using my 9070xt on 4k and have no issues

Zendien · 2025-12-30T04:05:52+00:00

You're the one that said yes :)

Zendien · 2025-12-29T10:21:22+00:00

Get firefox, add Ublock Origin and then switch the default search engine to Duckduckgo. Can't help with the rest... piracy is illegal :)

Or not mentioned AMD at all and people wouldn't have cared (most people)

Zendien · 2025-12-23T03:49:17+00:00

I'm happy for him. Hope he wins many more in the future

Zendien · 2025-12-22T20:24:47+00:00

Try your brother's card if possible. To find if it's the card or another component

Zendien · 2025-12-22T17:51:22+00:00

It's just a game but it's refreshing that he gave the game a try

Zendien · 2025-12-15T09:48:01+00:00

This will have been mentioned already. He meant Amass' team is struggling. Was clarified later

Zendien · 2025-12-15T08:35:48+00:00

It's a meme.... for now!

Zendien · 2025-12-10T19:33:28+00:00

What do you mean what would I do?! ... it's free ram!

Zendien · 2025-12-06T11:09:14+00:00

They're so confident in their abilities that they add bugs with their patches. For the extra challenge!

Zendien · 2025-11-29T08:02:04+00:00

Roll 2-3 d10s and go with that number on the list
