This is retarded. Their high end cards aren't anything special, just the small ones but bigger. AMD couldn't afford to be in the high end GPU race because they only make up less than 10% of the market share and so they stopped competing. No sense in trying to compete in the "My GPU is bigger than your GPU" race if no one buys them
Counterpoint: AMD still cannot figure out their own drivers (this is anecdotal, but after switching from Intel iGPU + NVIDIA dGPU to AMD + AMD, it's been nothing but hangs/timeouts, until applying some magical kernel cmdline option, so now it crashes only sometimes, not every day), so I'm pressing X on their ability to do anything useful with NVIDIA's code. Besides, most of the "interesting" stuff is done by firmware anyway, which isn't open source.
What I took from this guy's video is that the big problem with "open source software" is some of it isn't designed for users like him, and my response is that it's not a problem. There will be knock-on effects for not designing for the largest group of people, like getting zero funding for the software, but it's not a problem.
I use Darktable, it works well enough for the 3 actual photos a year I take.
The installer worked from what I could tell. The program didn't though. And looking at the list of his problems it seems like what he ran into were different from what I ran into. He was saying the installer would just crash, and the one where it says it was unstable in operation is listing features as missing on not function.
I'm going to have to check this out. From the sound of it, I can't wait to finally buy one... five or ten years from now when the used ones hit the reseller market for 200 dollars (like the current 2019-2020 ones are at this point)
lpf - the "local package factory," a set of python scripts meant to convert DEB binaries into RPM ones. lpf-spotify-client is what lets you set up Spotify on a Red Hat distro without actually needing a Debian variant. Surely there should be some equivalent to lpf that converts the DaVinci Resolve binary from RPM to DEB. Tons of shit in the AUR for proprietary software does the same thing, where PKGBUILDs fetch the DEB/RPM of $insert_program_here and then convert it into a pkg.tar.xz or pkg.tar.zst or whatever the hell Arch's packaging format is nowadays.
Dual GPU witth Nvidia?, Linux if you are a masochist.
There's a tool called alien that converts to and from multiple package formats.
I'm not saying you can't install it on debian. And in arch their is an aur pkgbuild for it.
That was the platform i tried it on. The installer worked. The program didn't.
> It has the new thin keyboard and the annoyingly large touchpad.
I'd go a little further and call Debian the lowest common denominator of Linux. Not that there's anything wrong with it, but regardless of what your optimization requirement is, there's probably a distro that does it better unless your requirement is "wide install base".
WDYM by this? Stand style like the old ones that connected to the bottom of laptop?
The Pinephone is compatible with USB-C docks, plus the Purism phone I think. Maybe Android could be coerced into doing this if the open, aftermarket versions of it start supporting stuff like this. It would take a miracle for iOS to start supporting it, but miracles do sometimes happen.
Ipads with a keyboard are already effectively full desktop replacements for some enterprise users
There is DeX from Samsung, and some other projects. But they mostly sucks.
I just like placing my laptop on it, and it clicking in, more than connecting a usb-c cable, but that's a personal preference. I had no idea the usb-c docks aren't vendor locked, that's cool.
Ubuntu Touch also has this feature, and is quite nice to use if put on a "fully supported" device of somewhat recent make, i.e. Volla or Fairphone.
Both the T480 and W541 have excellent docks, the tactile click is pure kino. Just wish that the latter had a 7-row mod available. Might have to polish up my Chinese and spring for a modded board. One of them even has Coreboot (with ME gutting) and is essentially a T480 jammed into a retro 13" chassis.
