[01:33] <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
[01:34] <sem> sarnold, 'no u' 
[01:34] <sem> :p
[01:34] <sarnold> no u
[01:36] <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
[01:37] <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 ;)
[01:39] <sem> The main thing I remember memorizing was 'dpkg --reconfigure xserver-xorg' 
[01:46] <arraybolt3> I don't even hardly know what a modeline *is*.
[01:47] <sarnold> lucky :)
[01:47] <arraybolt3> I didn't start using Linux until about 2019 sadly.
[01:48] <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)
[01:49] <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
[01:50] <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
[01:51] <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.
[01:52] <sem> i'm going to try the noble liveiso wish me luck
[01:52] <arraybolt3> goodluck :D
[01:59] <seminoble> so far so good :)
[01:59] <seminoble> way better than the nvidia card
[02:28] <lotuspsychje> good morning
[14:43] <sem> Goodnight lotuspsychje 
[14:43] <sem> *morning lol sorry
