My girlfriend uses Linux and until recently didn't even know how to Copy & Paste, but she uses it only for Email and Web browsing. Whenever there is something slightly more complicated such as exporting a mail to PDF and storing it on a USB stick, she has to ask me how to do it. If there is a setting that needs to be changed, she's at a loss, and there is also no working help function
So you're saying whether she was on windows or linux she would have no fucking clue what she was doing and would need you to help her. That's what I got from that.
"I also know how to set the dip switches on an internal ISA modem to their appropriate IOMEM and IRQ values." You didn't have to bring up the 90's you know. IRQ conflicts haven't been a problem since I have been old enough to have hair on my nuts..
You can use a normal GTX card, you just have to tell KVM to lie to the VM and tell it its running bare metal. Or Nvidia driver wont install because they want that extra few thousand dollars because you might be doing something professional, even if you just want to play windows games.
Why wouldn't it? the VM doesn't care that its a VM. It will just connect to the license server. And even if it DID care you can tell KVM to lie to the VM and tell it its not a VM, and problem solved(you have to do this to get passthru to work on geforce cards because nvidia wants you to buy a $5000 card instead of a $200 card for it)
Why do you need it updated if you don't use the internet on it? You can't add the ISP as an expense if you want internet no matter what OS you use. Does your ISP charge you for using windows? but not linux/macos? Because that would be absurd.
I thought Linux and MacOS were both POSIX systems? I don't understand all these companies supporting mac and not linux when it cant be much more work to make them both work.
You tried to run a strait server OS as a desktop. Try with ubuntu since you obviously need help.. You wont have any issues other than finding alternative programs for your windows shit that wont work. seriously centos is a "stable" os meaning if the package is newer than 5 years old, you probably wont be using it on centos.
In all fairness, when netbooks came out people didn't even have internet on their phones, so very few people even understood that. It was a great time, the internet wasn't full of plebs and their trackers. You didn't need adblockers and script blockers. Also, when they came out with windows based netbooks, they ran like garbage and any smart people removed windows and installed linux immediately.
Yea, I have no idea what hes on about. I have never once had to edit a.desktop file in linux. Kind of confused me at first thinking he was talking about windows...
Look at retro pi site, they have all the emulators, they all run linux native. and they are in most package manager repos already, same as A/V software. If you have never used Linux I suggest using Mint, Ubuntu or Arch as they have the most support in terms of online forums if you run into an issue.
provided both my SSDs get 4x CPU lanes each Sorry I missed that. In this case you could stick a NVME in the board, one in your add-in card then do 8x/4x/4x + 4x nvme.
I currently have a 1070 at 16x and an NVMe at 4x. I dont understand how youre not getting the math on this. If I was to put another gpu in I would then be at 8x/8x with a 4x nvme nothing sharing lanes.
I would assume Supermicro and the others. It costs more to manufacture therefor higher markup. Why would you let that slip and not try to push it at every chance?
To each their own, I find windows to be shit on the desktop. I used Debian personally. Literally the only reason I responded to you was because of your "$20k" comment that was completely false. Had you said all the things you have said just now we probably wouldn't be having this conversation. You make very good points. However if large companies all tell vendors like adobe "were moving to linux, port or we switch" There will be linux releases of every major program within 1 full quarter. The reason there is not many now is because people are complacent getting screwed by microsoft. Every other day there is an article about how $userbase is mad at $Microsoftdivision because of something stupid. As a consumer, I don't like the fact that my pc is not really mine with windows anymore. I used to love windows, hell I used to love windows 10! When it first was released that is, then every few months they would make it a little more unbearable. Now I classify it as spyware/trojan as it should be. Plus the UI is shit tbh. But I love KDE and windows XP so... theres that. What exactly is your bad experience with mint anyways? I have never used it but its what I started my brother on as there's tons of support and I don't like the way ubuntu has been going for a while. I literally have no issues with my OS when I don't break it playing with things I know I shouldn't be. I even have one of the ryzen motherboards that has a a quarky way of interacting with the superIO that made it impossible to see sensors until linux kernel was updated to use a work around. Had a similar issue on windows when it was released also. But other than having to install lmsensors from git, I have 0 other setup that isn't a command or two away.
Mine isn't far before his. I did however read the site for a decade or so not logged in and can't figure out my "Highdude" user info. And even teenagers these days know how to do gpu passthru. Well the ones that like to learn shit and not complain about not being able to do something before googling.
Goes to show that "software devs" get lost as soon as hardware comes into play. You obviously would be better off having 2 discrete gpu's. You can however share one gpu with a little more work. You just used it as an example not realizing it could be done. You don't really care as you never plan on even attempting to install Linux. Your loss not mine.

We don't have to pretend. Any normal person that isn't constantly shilling for one side or the other can see that they are two peas in a pod.
No. Just fuck RIAA/MPAA or w/e they are. Oh and also don't pay for shitty programs.

Did I mention torrent clients come pre-installed on most linux distros. Also Firefox.
Yes, its called a torrent program and a decent torrent site. Fuck netflix.

Or you could just drag to the task bar and then the browser will pop up and then you can drop the files, I do it on imgur all the time.

OpenSource AMD drivers are better, so unless you run vega/vega 7 I would stay away from the closed source AMD drivers.

Well, with ryzen you could have 8x/8x/4x

There are already options out to do that. And I'm sure after some devices use PCIe 4 there will be a spliter for it.

Sorry need citation on thst as the gpu issue has been solved for years as well as the wifi issue.
