Apparently it’s a temporary thing, but still wild.

Guy’s last name is literally Hungarian for “Hungarian.” Great marketing for the Tisza party.

…but I thought performance was fine, why would something fine be their top priority? Pitchford couldn’t possibly have been talking out of his ass, could he?

Video editing. I record 4k, 10-bit, 4:2:2 chroma subsampling, and the first nvidia consumer GPU that supports decoding that in hardware is the 5000-series. I have a 4090 and no desire to jump to a 5090. Swapping from a 7800X3D on a B650 board to a 9950X3D on an X870E and chucking an Arc A380 on there for encode/decode cost less than half of a 5090.

That makes sense. I’m just sore because I had to upgrade to a somewhat unstable X870E board to get 4 slots for my main GPU, capture card, storage controller, and secondary GPU.

…and still only two PCIe slots. Do you remember when you could slot four cards into your mainboard without going to a “Pro” or HEDT platform? Pepperidge Farm remembers.

…and a lot of them hate the end-user, too. Why must we involve people in the whole computer thing? Isn’t an abacus and a box of crayons enough?

HeliumOS, Kubuntu, Linux Mint (standard and Debian Edition), Pop!_OS, Ubuntu, VanillaOS, and Zorin OS here. Helium and Vanilla are not necessarily beginner-friendly but I use them in specific places.

May you run into a nerd with a Ventoy USB full of beginner-friendly distros in their back pocket to help you along your journey.

There are at least two of us out there, I’m sure of it.

Somewhere, an ISO27001 auditor’s jimmies started rustling.
