Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
  •

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't fork-bomb your computer.

    I never understand why in 2024 you'd buy nvidia, unless you like paying more for less, or buying from scalpers for even more money. I guess some people really just go "More money spent on it, more better" no matter what.

    People just think "gaming?? OH NO I NEED MY NVIDIA!!!!" while AMD is sitting there like "hey. Hey I have a card that'll work. Hey. Card. Right here. Works better in Linux. Less headaches. Hello. Hey person. Card. Hi."

    Only if you consider ray tracing to be a gimmik (which it is) then AMD is the obvious way to go.

    In reality It's because people bought their laptops and their Desktops before switching and want to Use their already existing graphic cards.

    This is a very good point, I forgot gaming laptops are almost exclusively nvidia
