Gentoo, I’m home

Without reverse engineering, there is no security. No way to find new bugs and vulnerabilities or confirm it’s backdoor free. Just blind trust only.

“Your example proved me wrong so it is a bad example!” LOL

You’re wrong. Proof by counter example: SteamOS

EDIT: you can downvote me but you’re still wrong

CachyOS?

That’s my guess based on what you’ve said

Dunno what to tell you lol, maybe it is possible to update an already existing install to a newer kernel version, but the LiveISO hangs when booting on a 9060 XT, and “sorry, it is unsupported by the PopOS kernel” was a common/known issue when I searched for the solution. This was only a few weeks ago.

No, actually I am not. 2 year old AMD cards are not the latest.

I tried to install PopOS for them first, however the LiveISO does not boot with a 9060 XT, because the PopOS kernel is quite old. If it was compatible with the latest AMD GPUs, they’d be running PopOS right now instead of CachyOS.

Are you on the 24.04 Beta version of PopOS?

There’s really never been a better time to run Gentoo tbh, processors are so fast that compilation does not really take as long as you’d expect anymore. Probably the best hardware support of all Linux distros, and its good for gaming or workstation.

I personally run Gentoo btw, but was not going to subject a first-time Linux user to that lol. So I installed CachyOS on their PC, yeah

Because Fedora is extra steps for nonfree codecs and firmware, and PopOS has an old kernel that doesn’t support the latest AMD GPUs. This was my logic when installing linux on the gaming PC of a windows user who wanted to make the switch, recently

EDIT: genuinely curious about the downvote lol

This makes no sense, the snapshots are updated regularly and Wikipedia isn’t even that big. Like 25GB.

The program goes through the collection of numbers and prints each one after a delay of milliseconds equal to that number: “Print the number 20 after a 20 millisecond delay. Print the number 5 after a 5 millisecond delay. Print the number 100 after a 100 millisecond delay… etc…” effectively sorting the collection because the numbers will be printed in order from smallest to largest.

This is a clever (but impractical) way to sort a collection, because it does not require comparing any of the elements of the collection.

I have a Radeon 6900xt, but it doesn’t work well with Linux anymore. amdgpu fails to load, and I can only boot by adding nomodeset to my boot entry.

Super weird. I also have a 6900 XT and have never had any problems on linux. The fact that you’re having problems with the GPU on multiple systems makes me think this is a hardware issue. Windows probably only works fine because it may be using the onboard graphics instead of the 6900 XT.

AMD is the most compatible and best supported for linux. You don’t need to install any drivers or anything for AMD as the official drivers are included in the linux kernel.

You activated my trap card!

So the position is “don’t suggest a solution if it doesn’t apply to most people” and also at the same time “a solution that applies for most people doesn’t actually exist”.

Seems like a really stupid and unproductive position to have, not to mention completely incorrect, because Linux actually is a solution for most people.

Even if it were true that it’s not a solution for most people, which is false but I’ll play along, “it’s not a solution for most people” is such a dumb response.

Only solutions that apply to “most people” should be allowed to be suggested? People in edge cases should just never have their problem solved? Huh??

So, what would you say is a solution for “most people” that we should be suggesting, instead?

If the obvious reply to the post is ‘take your hand off the stove’, as a rule, do not post that. You are not adding anything."

I’d accept that “smart code” and “clever code” are 2 different things
