Thats good to hear. Ive been hearing that Nivida has gotten better in Linux but i was still leaning towards amd even if price to performance isnt super great with the card im looking at.
I like to game at 1440 at 144hz so i feel like a 7600xt would work fine but its good to hear a more personal experience especially since you mentioned KDE since I was planning on installing Fedora with KDE.
I’ve been thinking of going amd for a while now for when i switch to Linux. Hows the 7800 perform? I was looking at a 7600xt cause thats what in my price range.
Ventoy is pretty great. Ive screwed quite a few usb sticks by flashing isos and now i can just put all the isos on one drive. Its a good tool.
Thats good to know because Fedora seems to be where im heading when i make the switch as well.
Ah I gotcha. Another option im considering is using a separate pc for windows and using a kvm to switch between them. That may be a good option for you as well if you can swing it.
imo dual booting is kinda clunky. Id rather have a vm of windows tbh. I dont like restarting my pc to swtich OS.
But hey if you like it, more power to you man.
I’m actually considering making this switch for the same reason. My 1070 ti is still a great card but its starting to struggle a bit with some games.
I did something similar but used grub to be able to choose the OS at startup.
Both Windows and Linux (I used Ubuntu at the time) had thier own separate drives and grub was on the Windows install. That was the main boot drive that would launch grub so that i could choose to boot into either Windows or Ubuntu at start up.
I dont remeber the guide i used and this was a couple years ago so there may be something more up to date at this point. I liked the way it worked though.
That being said, another way would be to use two different pcs and use a kvm to switch between them. Dual boot is cool but having to power off is annoying. Or you can virtualize windows from your linux install or vice versa. Really depends on what you need.
For me, Windows is likely going to serve as my music making OS so having it bare metal makes more sense for me. I’m going to be using a mini pc for windows and my main rig will be for Linux. At least thats the plan for now.
Thats really good to know. Thanks for taking the time to explain that.
Oh thats neat. I’m assuming that can be configured for other package managers when you’re calling the apt equivalent?
Yup. Ive heard timeshift is good. Now i just gotta actually use it.
Hows the experience with timeshift been when youve used it? Pretty easy to restore from?
Haha i feel that man. I’m thinking of switching to Linux entirely and ditching Windows so i gotta get better at making backups otherwise its gonna be full reinstalls no stop.
What a mood. Im very guilty of not making backups and ruining setups only to have to start all over.
I’m a fairly new linux user so this is bound to happen again lol.
Yea I’d say its gonna be a while befote the idea of federated social media really takes off. I think one of the bigger reasons is just ease of use.
The federation aspect of this is kinda confusing when your first hear about and most users just want an easy experience.
Now you can say “oh just join lemmy.world and be done with it” but then comes another issue. Which is “wheres my account in this other instance?” Its not there. And it wont be there until porting accounts becomes a more integrated part of Lemmy and other federated socail medias.
I think those are the biggest things holding it back for now. I think it will catch on as more and more folks become more aware of (and care about) corporations like facebook(meta) or reddit don’t care what you think and will walk all over you for a quick buck.
I don’t believe it.
You mean to tell me that Microsoft is doing a bad job with thier OS???
Preposterous. These 100 or so processes that its running to track my every breath are incredibly important to make sure im given the best ad experience.
They’re both around $330 where I’m at. The performance jump from my 1070ti to 6700xt is around 30% and 38% to a 6750xt. I figure the better option was a newer card with the extra vram. Either one seems to be a good upgrade for me.
