Why does nobody here ever recommend Fedora to noobs?
  • I've been having a tough time with it. Maybe I'm unlucky with my hardware and setup. Spend hours this week recovering from a black screen after upgrading to F40. Issue with Plymouth + Nvidia + Luks at boot. Also getting Nvidia to work on F39, my first install. Secondary computer (laptop) macbook 2017, keyboard doesn't work with Fedora compared to Linux Mint.

    I'd recommend Linux Mint for beginners after my experiences. imho

  • Is there anything unsavory about ProtonMail?
  • I don't like that their open-source repositories, like the android mail app, disabled public issues. Normally lots of good information can be found in issues, like known bugs or reasons why a tracker still exists in the app.

  • No wifi on Linux Mint. Macbook pro 2017
  • Great. I'm glad you saw them. Yeah, I've been watching this device for years hoping for better support. The very technical manual WiFi fixes do seem to work, but I think a usb WiFi adapter might be more pleasant.

    Is osmand normally terrible?
  • I've used osmand+ for 6 years nearly every time I drive. Its definitely usable and only craps out once in a while. The biggest pain is just lack if address resolution, but that is expected with osm generally. As long as there aren't walls between you and the satellites, at most I've waited a minute or two for position lock. Google Maps will use GPS and nearby WiFi to locate you, so its faster. Been playing around with Organic Maps lately and it has been nice, but I miss the advanced features and visual info elements osmand+ offers.

  • What Did I Just Buy?

    UPDATE: They responded to me. It is indeed the RTX 4070 SUPER 12GB (Not 16GB). The listing will appear correctly again on 1/24/2024

    I know this community is mainly about building a PC, but wanted to get some opinions from the experts.

    So I know very little about hardware, but wanted to move away from my old standard laptop for a gaming and local LLM inference desktop. Decided current series Nvidia GPU with 16BG VRAM would be good.

    Saw this pre-order product on newegg and jumped on it: "iBUYPOWER Gaming Desktop RTX 4070 Super 16GB, i7-47000F, 32GB DDR5, 2TB SSD, Windows 11 Home" $1,799.99

    Only after I realized the CPU model number doesn't exist and the RTX 4070 Super maxes out at 12GB VRAM, right? Do you think they meant the RTX 4070 Ti Super?

    What do you guys think? Thanks
