Mine is an ancient Thinkpad, the true weapon of our Lord!

We can divide by t and then we get 2-1=1. Simples!

Yes! Potatoes are the way, as our ancestors taught us!

Oh man, I WANT THIS THING! That is what I call a cool feature in home design. Time to think how to do it relatively cheaply in my study...

To give it credit, Japanese cars are now among the best in class, and can be enjoyed on a global market at a "reasonable" price. Took them a few decades to get there though. When/if Chinese manufacturers get to that level - that would be a win for the common consumer anywhere. And European companies with their trend to sell less, but more expensive, cars, will likely be outcompeted.

Ah, so you mean the one supplied by AMD themselves? Good, thanks.

Thanks! Can you walk me through here: what exactly is a Free software driver? As with everything in linux - you either know, or don't)

Thank you, that helps.

The fiddling bit is not that i am particularly against, it just requires learning things that have no other use for me outside of playing a random game in my free time (so spending that valuable time on learning about OS internals instead of things i actually care about).You can call me a perfect user for windows - i just am tired of them trying to track me, changing their shit constantly and pushing their services within the product i paid for with my own money. Hence linux.

So what i am looking for is an out of the box experience that will not turn my eyes red.

A question here: plan to upgrade to 7800xt sometime in the near future. The card is quite new, so i have doubts after your reply above. I am mainly gaming and do basic office stuff (Libre office is enough). Also, though I can install Ubuntu - press X to win type install works for me - I am new to linux, so not big on fiddling with obscure packages. Just want games to run well - so, in this specific usecase, what distros would you recommend to try?

Now that is mind-bending trickery! Having a degree in applied matha millennia ago did not help...

AI is not overrated. We just don't have it yet.

What an analogy! Summarises my experience with Win vs linux. Still on "early dates" with linux, but it does get better and better, while MS seemingly deliberately tries to alienate me with every new update. Won't be a returning customer!
