    That passed me by. I heard people talk about rust, but not that it was bad, per se. Just different.

    Of course, me not having heard of these peeps does not mean they don't exist. Just means I live under my own kind of comfy rock. (There's room for more if you bring snacks)

    For what it's worth, I agree with you.

    Matrix 1 was awesome, but the other ones weren't as good. I don't think Groupthink is gonna get you, because the general consensus here seems to be "movies? Take'em or leave'em".

    Ah, I think I see the confusion.

    I had made a remark about how people were harsh with the Wachowskis because of their gender, and your next words were that they were frauds who make trash movies.

    I took that as an explanation and justification for WHY people were being terrible, so my response was meant as a general response. Not saying you were criticising them for being trans.

    I have tankfully never heard anyone complain about a piece of software being coded by a furry transgendered person.

    In fact, it seems like a stamp of quality :P

    Movies, however...? Man, I remember when the Wachowski Sisters transitioned..

  • GPU questions (pawb.social)
     

    Hi y'all! I've been using Nvidia GPUs for about all my life, but have been hearing how AMD usually plays nicer with Linux.

    I'm somewhat new to this OS and all the distros, and I was wondering if you could help me with understanding some of the differences.

    I currently have a 4080 from Nvidia, and I use it for both content creation and gaming. Back when I was picking out my new GPU, I wanted to pick the 7900 XTX from AMD, but I was on windows back then and the two GPUs were the exact same price in my region, so I figured I might as well pick that.

    Fast forward to today and I am noticing that the 4080 is struggling a bit with games like Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. (I'm getting forty fps on medium/high settings with 1440p) and I see some people suggest it is because of the translation overhead of Nvidia via Proton, and that this would be reduced with AMDs GPUs, but I'm not entirely sure how much there is to gain here, really.

    So.. TL:DR; What is gained and what is lost if I were to sell the 4080 and switch to AMDs 7900XTX or 9070XT?

    I'm on arch Nobara, btw
