Just enough for a batch of toum.

What a boring dystopia.

It’s time for reapportionment.

The projects were a flawed concept not least because it concentrates inequality leading to the obvious results.

So instead we have a morass of inscrutable regulations on 3-4 levels (federal, state, county, city) with wildly complex funding schemes making the few expert developers wildly wealthy while building tragically few affordable units.

I had the Flintstones soundtrack on cassette and played the crap out of it on my walkman (and let’s be real, my boombox too).

I can’t even get mdns to work with systemd-resolved and a local VM.

Best of luck though, definitely something I’ll be watching!

A couple days ago, I stumbled into an interesting take on Matrix without the setup barriers: https://letsconvene.im/

Yeah, gotta jump to the 13 (waiting for mine with a ryzen 7 350 now).

FWIW, they had very specific goals with the 12 and outlined the reasoning in a video.

Practice!

Gotta drink more so you can drink more. Then you’ll find your groove and see that a few beers is just the spice driving needed!

I see what you did there.

The other commenter is giving good advice, but I think they’re knee-jerking a bit hard on the arch base. I presented 3 gaming oriented distributions. All have guardrails. All are opinionated. All are fully featured, user-friendly experiences.

Yes, arch (by itself) is a bad idea as a solution, but so is gentoo, and so is Debian testing.

I believe the issues they’re so concerned about actually apply to every rolling release distro like the others, but it’s the only way you’re going to get OOTB support for the 9700xt until the major release distributions catch up.

Linux users have strong feelings and often let perfect at any expense get in the way of good enough and cheap. This is a demonstrably negative experience for new users.

I knew that would happen.

FWIW, there are many arch-based distros with a lot of handholding. Heck, garuda has built in btrfs snapshots on update. I believe OP would have an easier time using garuda than setting up all the other things necessary to make other plain rolling release distributions work.

To OP, raw arch is definitely not for newbies. Don’t try to install arch to fix your issue.

And consider locking your shit down before returning.

Hey friend, looks like you might be spinning your wheels yet.

You have two options to get driver support for the 9070:

• manually update the Linux kernel in mint/pop to 6.13
• install a distro that has 6.13 by default

Here’s a mint thread talking about it, pop os will be the same.

That said, I can’t in good conscience recommend the manual route for a Linux newbie, so strongly consider a fedora or arch based distro.

If gaming is your primary use case, the ones with tons of gaming apps and tweaks built in are Bazzite (based on fedora atomic), nobara (based on fedora), and garuda “Dr460nized” gaming (Based on Arch)

This is the right answer. You need a fresher kernel. 6.12 or 6.13.

If gaming is your core use case, check out bazzite, nobara, or garuda to get many of the goodies baked in.

Looks like it is provided here.

Waiting on my 13 (ryzen ai 7 350). Hope they don’t claw back for a price hike…

I love the idea that it changed the minds Mitch McConnell and Rand Paul, but we all know their votes were virtue signals for the bourbon state.

Murkowski and Collins are morons but may occasionally have brief flairs of sanity, so I’ll give you them :D

Well, except criminal court where sentencing is a joke because no human is held accountable.

Kill a bunch of people? That’ll be a fine you pass on to your customers.

Auto lid, auto flush checking in.

Yes, I’m spoiled.
