  • drivers' poor performance on Linux

    Not necessarily true. If you have an older card (older than the 1650/older than 2020) you're fucked but newer cards should actually be supported. By the end of the year Nvidia should not be an automatic downgrade of an experience compared to AMD. But yeah they're expensive, ruled by the richest capitalists in the world, and their power efficiency is hot garbage.

    Pop OS on it as my primary operating system.

    If you're getting primarily a gaming PC then I would recommend checking out Bazzite because it's all batteries included with support for Steam's gaming mode (basically getting the Steam deck functionality onto your PC) with minimal setup required. POP!_OS is still going through a heavy transition right now into COSMIC so I wouldn't recommend it right now until POP!_OS 24.04 drops. I've used it on my own gaming pc with an nvidia card and it worked flawlessly (minus the green company problems).








  • If I say oh here's my number that seems too odd these days, people not that much younger than me (I'm 31) don't seem to text anymore

    They got discordified and locked up in their gamer messaging apps. It is very annoying to deal with.

    I'm neurotypical and I stay away from social media like the plague. I also try to always use FOSS whenever I can. The worst I'll go is using Whatsapp because its the defacto messaging platform in some countries. If you ask people if they have a whatsapp it is very less weird (yay big tech propagandizement).

    I try to advocate most for Signal for people I actually want to talk to and as long as I'm not an enemy of the US government (and don't think about supply chain attacks) it works. The people closest to me I'll try to use matrix, jami or xmpp.

    Don't get an instagram. Horrible mistake anyone could make.
