It's been so long since I installed mine that I forget.

I remember there being an option to download and install additional drivers during the installation. Otherwise, it's a very simple process. As you can see here:

https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-install-nvidia-drivers-on-ubuntu-24-04

On Ubuntu there's literally an application for additional drivers. On Kubuntu, I think you have to used the command line because Canonical only prioritizes their Gnome desktop. Kubuntu is a community-driven flavour. However, once you know which driver is recommended, you can use the graĥical software installer to install it.

1. Ubuntu and derivatives. (I prefer Kubuntu, personally. It has even more support for things like HDR) I have a 3070 RTX and it's working just fine in Kubuntu.
2. Good question! I would definitely back up the files first and reformat in EXT4 or BTRFS or whatever. Then when you install the games in Steam with the compatibility layer, you can specify where to install the games. Then check where saved games/profiles are located and possibly overwrite the files?
3. Yes. No doubt.

Must've been edited by members of the Chinese government. (/s) ;)

But even if I trusted the current government to implement this with the right goals, I would never trust future governments not to abuse this system. I don’t think I’d really trust any sort of group to do this right. I’m already disappointed enough with our current democracy (in Canada) for not getting rid of first-pass-the-post, and I’m skeptical that much will change with interprovincial trade barriers (why not sooner?).

Amen!

But the idea of a better implemented credit score to track only severe abuse of debt doesn’t seem entirely unreasonable to me. Obviously the current system is messed up and has major problems, but I feel like it could plausibly be fixed and done in a reasonable way. I think debt to buy a house (and maybe sometimes a car) is generally a good option to have. And I don’t know how you could offer this without tracking people who don’t pay. (Though maybe I’m wrong, maybe just going based off of income history is enough.)

It's funny because wealthy people don't have this problem. They want a loan for several millions? No problem! If they can't pay back the loan, it's not their problem though. It's the bank's problem. But hey, let's deny a loan for a lower-middle class worker for a $15k used car to get to work, or deny them the ability to have shelter because they fell on hard times once in their life ages ago.

You know what I mean? Sure there should be a way to find out of a person is trustworthy to pay back a loan, but at the same time we shouldn't be living in such an unfair system.

I dunno. Sounds like a repo-specific thing. OP is on Debian 12 and what I'm understanding is they're also seeing this message for a third party repo.

You know what's a force for good, Charles?

Not sending weapons, ammo and military equipment to Israel to enable them to do a fucking genocide and a second holocaust.

Asti que chu pu capable de nos gouvernements. Autant au provincial qu'au fédéral. Aucun d'entre eux nous écoute. Ça fait qu'à leur tête. Chu pu capab.

Cossé ça va prendre? À force de leur écrire, de manifester, de marcher, de crier, si en bout de ligne ils restent sourds, qu'est-ce qui nous reste autre que la violence? Va tu falloir aller crisser le feu dans leurs bureaux de circonscription? Se pointer à l'assemblée avec des battes de baseball pis des cocktails molotovs? Cossé ça va prendre?

Parce que ce n'est pas juste ce projet, mais c'est aussi la crise de logement, l'inflation alimentaire, et même la participation du Canada dans le génocide de Gazaé. Il y a pleins d'enjeu où les gens veulent quelque chose et le gouvernement fait complètement l'opposé.

Do it!

Elon's got the Midas shit touch. Everything he touches turns to shit.

It's a shame because Tesla started out being a really cool thing.

Yeah the whole reason for packages being kept back is because they are rolling them out slowly to ensure that no major bugs affect the great majority of users of those packages.

You wouldn't want your whole Ubuntu or Debian user base getting stuck with the same problem and having to roll back all at the same time. availa roll out certain packages slowly so only a small portion have to do it, and also save your reputation, and finally give the package maintainers to fix the problem.

Sérieux.

J'ai détesté le gouvernement libéral depuis Jean Charest (depuis que j'ai commencé à suivre la politique, en fait) et je croyais que c'était un gouvernement pourri et que ça ne pouvait pas être pire.

Eh bien la CAQ a démontré que oui ça pouvait être pire. Bon, c'est pas le parti conservateur de Doug Ford ou de Danielle Smith, mais c'est crissement pas loin.

Je me pose souvent la question comment que la société peut être autant stupide à élire ces gens et ne pas voir combien ils travaillent contre leurs intérêts. Clairement il y a u problème d'éducation à quelque part.

Ouais c'est fou hein comment toutes ces lois et règles s'appliquent juste quand ça fait l'affaire d'une élite de société. C'est respecté que s'il y a consensus de tout le monde au pouvoir, mais si tout le monde au pouvoir ne les respectent pas, c'est à nous de se défendre nous même.

NA-zi punks, FUCKOFF!

Ça m'étonne avec tout ce qui se passe. J'étais sous l'impression que les governments voulaient en profiter plus pour se défaire de l'emprise Americaine.

« On continue de construire sans se préoccuper de la capacité d’accueil ni des infrastructures qui sont déjà insuffisantes au moment présent. On ne peut pas continuer de développer éternellement », a-t-il expliqué à La Presse. « À un certain moment, la limite sera atteinte. »

«La promesse d’une population maximale de 25 000 et d’une “Cité Jardin” fait partie de l’ADN de l’île des Sœurs. On s’enligne plutôt sur une copie de Griffintown ou un agrandissement du centre-ville.»

Là- dessus, les résidents ont raison. Les promoteurs immobiliers sont vite à vouloir construire des grosses tours à condo pour faire une passe de cash sans faire attention à l'environnement, la capacité locale des infrastructures et des services ou de ce qui se passe dans le quartier. Griffintown étant l'exemple parfais de ça.

Il y a bien d'autres endroits qu'on peut densifier à Montréal. Je pense entre autre à Longue-Pointe, Tétraultville, Bellerive et Anjou. C'est plein de vieux blocs décrépits, des shoebox et des grosses maisons unifamiliales. Si jamais on finit par construire le REM de l'est, ça serait encore mieux puisque ça passe dans la plupart de ces quartiers.

Well in case of China, it's how good they view you as a citizen. And that's based on their own evaluation templates. And it's probably based on how early you get to your job and how well you perform for glorious China.

You know what's funny? Credit scores are a fairly new thing. If you wanted to rent an apartment, all you needed were good references. You couldn't be denied based off some obscure score that a couple of companies have a monopoly over and can wreck your whole life if THEY mess up with no chance of recovering.

In a world where everything works on debt now, these companies have too much power over people.

Except ours is based on our ability to repay debt. Which is fucked.

Not saying China's is any better, but at least you're rated on your actions and words. Not some capitalist view of a person's worth.

Both are fucked.

Anyway, credit scores should be abolished.

Good.
