Any version of Windows since 1995 has been more polished, production-ready and user-friendly than any Linux distro ever made. That's obvious to anybody who has installed both of them on the same machine.

Are Linux users just lying about their distros being a better experience than a Windows installation?

Install Gentoo. Or whatever flavor of *nix is best for the job or most comfy for you. Jellyfin/Emby/Plex to replace Netflix, Nextcloud to replace Googlel, Ampache/Navidrome to replace Spotify, the list goes on. Look at the awesome self-hosted list and ask.

should i use xlibre or wayland on my laptop?
>>
>>107653632
Xlibre only exists because they ejected enrico, which they didn't have to do, despite the claims that he is just mucking things up, they could have just had in work on a "future/dev" branch to protect the master, and decide if any of the work was worth merging, but instead they let enrico basically do whatever he wanted , and then claim that somehow he is at fault for them accepting those patches and breaking the master which shouldn't be considered stable anyway. They don't like enrico, they don't want the xserver to gain any new features, that is why xlibre exists , it is the only way anything new will be added to the xserver. and they have added new features to the xserver. so I don't see how xlibre is the same as the freedesktop xserver project.

It's over. We will never have cheap inference. Nobody will ever be able to escape the Nvidia tax.

Literally every engineering exec is joining Nvidia. This is basically an acquisition where Nvidia gets everything it wants then leaves the parts that it doesn't want, and it's cheaper because regular employees don't get the full acquisition windfall. Same shit Meta pulled when they "invested but didn't acquire" Scale AI, and Scale AI's execs all moved to Meta.

What's wrong with that? Nvidia has to protect their bottom line you know!
They're not a charity!!!

If you want cheap inference, access an API endpoint. What's the matter? You're not doing anything illegal, right? You're not a terrorist right? Why are you so against safety!!!!!

If i buy a new computer (current one has possible SSD issues, graphics card power issues and overheating) with a 5070 and windows 11.
Can i just uninstall that and immediately install windows 10? I heard in some previous thread that win 11 could be better for gpu optimization or whatever.
>>
>>107661530
Yes you can just wipe the 11 install with diskpart within the 10 install USB and put 10 on it. I do hear that NVIDIA doesn't release its latest drivers for 10 anymore so be careful for that, you should use NVCleanstall to get a driver that will work properly.

installing windows 10 on a new system when you can just debloat and detelemerize your paid for legit 11 license and never worry that some /gayme/ will tell you you are on an unsupported OS is pants on head retarded.

Linux Mint's user base is all boomers who want an old version of Windows and would be better off actually using an old version of Windows but they bought into "muh security" or another vague belief about why Linux is better even though they have no interest in actually learning the Linux way of doing things and just want everything to work as it did in Windows XP. At least with Ubuntu you learn the Linux way of doing things and the OS is grounded in the Linux philosophy even though it holds your hands through a lot of things. Half of Mint's user base, on the other hands, would be terrified of doing as little as the most basic of stuff in the terminal. Mint has no purpose of existence rather than cater to people who would probably be better off using Windows XP because that's what they actually want.

>a mathematical certainty that another disk will have an URE during rebuild and nuke your data
This is one of the most stupid myths going around in the "storage" community. Do you really think you can't read all the data off a drive without it failing? Like is this what you actually believe, that you cannot read all the data stored on a perfectly functioning HDD? Have you ever tried to do exactly that? Have you ever tried to issue a SMART long self-test, which basically has the drive verify that it can read across its entire capacity?

I've had arrays doing monthly full scans for nearing a decade and the stupid things never fail to read unless the drives are actually bad and dying (if you see this happen, it's time to replace the drive because some more serious failure mode is likely near).

>>107654812
So you just pull out a disk at random, while your computer is turned on and your array is mounted, no less?

RAID5 for redundancy AND speed.
>>
>>107660950
That wouldn't work for me, the drives are in sleds. And there isn't enough room on the spine of the sled to put a sticker because of the lever arm. Also the air holes need to be clear.
I once tried to wrap stickers around the lever arms, but they just fell off.
