Linus-AI adds # And fuck nVidia! to the end of every patch.

The maxim that popped into my brain was:

“Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should.”

But then again, Linux wouldn’t exist unless Linus ignored this, so well done, and I hope this succeeds!

Oh, sorry, I lost that with my bitcoin wallet in 2011 when my hard drive crashed ☹️

It would be safer if we discussed.this using encryption:

I’ve never used PhotoShop, and respect GIMP as a useful and powerful tool.

But when I need to use it, before I even open a file, I open a browser window, because I’m resigned to the fact that I’ll be searching for how to do anything.

Can I still use a 386 with an 80387 math coprocessor ?

That’s exactly what a rich and powerful squirrel would say.

Congrats, nerds.

(I guess I have to include myself in that)

I’m jealous of those that converted to Linux from Windows 10.

I didn’t migrate until Windows 2000.

I had a similar moment of clarity after troubles with Manjaro and a couple other Arch based distros.

I really like the idea of a rolling release, but definitely nedd stability first.

I swung back the other way, and jumped on Ubuntu LTS. And gradually over time I ended up having to get updates from external repos etc, and ended up in the same position where updates broke things or didn’t work.

Currently running Ubuntu, and I just do an upgrade to the latest release each 6 months - after waiting a month after release date for everything to settle down. The upgrades to new releases have gone smoothly, I get updates to newer versions of software, and it’s been very rare anything breaks. Being a popular distro also means a big community to help with any issues as well.

Dammit, it’s like I just wrote an ad for Ubuntu!

Wait, are we moving on from vim vs emacs?

Reread my comment.

“On my machine, Ubuntu upgrade/install AND sudo ubuntu-drivers install BOTH flag the drivers Ubuntu installed as manually installed.”

That’s why I have to manually remove them to choose a better nvidia driver.

I can’t say it any clearer

You misunderstood what I wrote.

I didn’t manually install anything.

On my machine, Ubuntu upgrade/install AND sudo ubuntu-drivers install BOTH flag the drivers Ubuntu installed as manually installed.

When you go to the Additional Drivers, it says you have manually installed drivers and all options are greyed out.

Why do I want another driver? I found the open driver Ubuntu chose to install was flaky and provided substandard performance compared to the proprietary driver.

And I have my commands to remove drivers, and for reference, the commands you give won’t help a noob, and your steps are incomplete for earlier Ubuntu versions.

Ubuntu Additional Drivers offered me a choice between 11 different nvidia drivers.

nouveau,and then a mishmash of nvidia versions, open, proprietary and server.

Like OP was probably trying to do, had to manually remove the existing driver before you could select anything. All those options were greyed out because of a ‘manual installed driver’

And guess what did this ‘manual installed driver’? Me? No. Ubuntu’s own uograde or running the command for ubuntu to select the ‘besr driver’.

Fortunately, I’d been through nvidia hell several times, and knew how to manually perform the removal and install, but felt horrified for any new users that might stumble into this. With changing versions, it can be difficult when searching to work out which results are actually relevant, and which are obsolete.

Always remember anything with a wildcard is your enemy. Triple check before you can trust it and hit enter.

No, they said it was Felicity in chocolate

Sheesh!

And people are celebrating it now being able to record your screen 🤣

Been using Magic Earth with Android Auto, and it’s been working great. I prefer it over Organic Maps. While I prefer Organic’s privacy focus, it was laggy on my phone and search also was more fussy and difficult to find things.

I love offline maps. I only have data enabled when I want internet access.

Magic Earth can do directions for walking without data enabled. Google Maps with an offline map still requires data to generate a route for walking.

My job here is done 😉
