| sem | I just installed my new graphics card! It is an amd south islands and it worked automatically :D | 01:33 |
|---|---|---|
| sarnold | wild :) | 01:33 |
| sem | Now I am going to try ubuntu+1 and see if it works in that one | 01:33 |
| sarnold | are you sure you're running linux? | 01:33 |
| sem | because the old one did not | 01:33 |
| sem | sarnold, 'no u' | 01:34 |
| sem | :p | 01:34 |
| sarnold | no u | 01:34 |
| sem | seriously though, this is so different than the first time I installed ubuntu 6.10 or whenever -- Xorg was a black screen, and somehow I found #ubuntu and someone walked me through getting to a virtual terminal and putting custom modelines into xserver-xorg | 01:36 |
| sem | back then fxlgr was way worse than nvidia | 01:36 |
| sarnold | omg I spent so much time calculating modelins | 01:37 |
| sarnold | xvidtune felt like cheating | 01:37 |
| sarnold | but I was happy to have it ;) | 01:37 |
| sem | The main thing I remember memorizing was 'dpkg --reconfigure xserver-xorg' | 01:39 |
| arraybolt3 | I don't even hardly know what a modeline *is*. | 01:46 |
| sarnold | lucky :) | 01:47 |
| arraybolt3 | I didn't start using Linux until about 2019 sadly. | 01:47 |
| arraybolt3 | I grew up mostly on Windows 2000, was *so excited* to upgrade to XP :P Same with Vista (I actually really liked Vista), and with 7. | 01:48 |
| sarnold | oh wow :) I didn't know anyone liked vista | 01:48 |
| arraybolt3 | 8 was... mhh, I mean I liked it, but it was a but weird. 8.1 fixed some of it though and I really liked it to. Then 10 was a *disaster* and 11 is just as bad. | 01:48 |
| sarnold | (sorry microsoft) | 01:48 |
| sem | somehow i liked 10 | 01:49 |
| arraybolt3 | anyway round about the Win7 and 8.0 days I was looking into Linux and eventually jumped from Win8 Pro to Kubuntu 20.04 and got sucked in. | 01:49 |
| sem | that's awesome | 01:49 |
| arraybolt3 | sem: you're weird :P /s | 01:49 |
| arraybolt3 | Windows 10 couldn't even figure out how to get the size of its window close buttons consistent. Windows 11 still hasn't figured it out. | 01:50 |
| sarnold | inconsistent window decoration is OUR shtick! | 01:50 |
| sarnold | get yer own gimmick, windows | 01:50 |
| arraybolt3 | shush, I have all mine just right on Kubuntu | 01:50 |
| arraybolt3 | except for IntelliJ, but it looks like its own thing enough I can live with it. | 01:51 |
| sem | i guess i never noticed, but i really didn't like the telemetry | 01:51 |
| arraybolt3 | It's when so many different apps that should all be mostly the same all have button sizes that are a tad bit different that I started feeling like I was going insane. | 01:51 |
| arraybolt3 | And yeah, the recent "Microsoft account or insane workarounds or bust" and telemetry and AI nonsense was... awful. | 01:51 |
| sem | i'm going to try the noble liveiso wish me luck | 01:52 |
| arraybolt3 | goodluck :D | 01:52 |
| seminoble | so far so good :) | 01:59 |
| seminoble | way better than the nvidia card | 01:59 |
