  • Sure, I’ll try OpenSUSE!

    Tumbleweed is a bit of a spooky name for a distro implying that a gentle breeze sends it, but y’know

    Linux Mint as someone suggested, I’ve ran a long time ago for college on an ancient laptop, and it’s an extreme stable OS, similar to Windows 2000 Pro. I can’t remember it crashing or freezing even once on me, and the Thinkpad T42 has an anemic processor., which I ran with the Conservative Governor


  • I’m actually a little scared of running Linux on modern, fast hardware.

    How is multi-GPU driver support?

    My main machine is a 900 TFlops compute monster (4 GPUs) running ROCM on Windows, and the last time I’d tried Manjaro on Desktop, it seized up for unknown reasons.

    I’ve got asynchronous monitors - 1440p@165Hz main display and 4K@85Hz flipped vertical for a side monitor. Occasionally, I plug in a projector which is 1080p, mirrored to the 4K, but flipped horizontal.

    I’m not sure what I’d done wrong because it works perfectly on my 11 year old Z575 (Debian+KDE there).

    What distro would you recommend for an extremely fast/high RAM machine? I’ve got 128GB of main system memory, and 4TB of M.2 for a system disk running at 7.6 gigabytes/second actual/real-world RW I/O.


  • The rich have problems paying just their regular owed taxes, nothing even exceptional; they draft legislation to lower their own tax rates while keeping taxes on labor the same.

    Why is capital gains taxed at a lower rate than income? Is sitting on a pile of money and watching it grow somehow more noble than sweating and hard work?

    I think a carbon tax is necessary but I think getting the responsible parties in our industrial world to actually pay it, would be extremely difficult. You’d never see such bipartisan cooperation in various governments until someone threatens the subsidies for the liquid black gold.


  • I’m somewhat partial to the Telvanni Mushroom kingdom (the idea of, hey, here’s an acorn, go GROW your house) but Balmora has always held a special piece in my heart for being the first “big city” I’ve felt in a video game.

    The transition to the Ashland and seeing a different biome entirely / grasslands / plains was also pretty incredible.

    Ald’ruhn’s Capitol was also novel in design with the redundant rope bridges built on the inside of the shell of a gigantic upturned horseshoe crab.

    Vivec’s cool but it’s only possible because of a demi-god’s literal meddling around with the terrain, and it’s too easy to get lost.

    Caldera’s also nice, as well as Pelagiad.

    I know I just named like ten places but Morrowind’s got a lot of diversity and biomes.
