the benefit are absolutely unrelated to privacy, use them with the idea that they’re ran by cops, the point of private trackers is the quality and availability of what’s in them, and most of the time, the quantity, you can find niche stuff uploaded 15 years ago with enough seed to clog your fiber

My bad, premium as in pricy

you’re comparing the most premium priciest possible console experience with the cheapest way to play pc games, they can get used consoles as well, and just like pc they get discounts on old games, not to mention that secondhand games are a thing on console,

Where fallout 3 feels like a desolated wasteland, new vegas feels like a generic western with added monsters, it’s got none of the charm of 3 despite every other aspects being better

In your head.

Calling insignificant and nerdy things like os choice a trait of the master race is openly mocking the concept of a master race by making it ridiculous

it’s one of those packages that are only put in the repo with the intent on being itself a dependency of the full kde desktop, since it’s a component of the deskop and not just a random theme

Pacman is the most braindead straight to the point package manager of them all, it won’t take you very long to memorize the 3 letters you need to use it.

actually I think the /s completely reversed the joke making it feel like you were mocking the other dude for potentially considering something else than capitalism

Thats super helpful, thank you!

msrp is the price that the manufacturer say the card should be sold at, usually it is lower than the actual price depending on the supply and demand and on how much the retailer want/can make on top of the base price

For the chart, it’s readable this way:

the higher ↑ a gpu is on the list , the stronger it is. you can see that being on top of all the others, the amd rx 7900xtx, nvidia rtx 4080 and nvidia rtx 4090 24gb, are the most powerful gpu’s of the chart, the best one of the 3 being the nvidia rtx 4090 since it is above all

you have 3 big columns one for amd, one for nvidia and one for intel.

wen a gpu is on the same horizontal line as another, even across the columns, that means they perform roughly the same.

For example:

the nvidia gtx 1660s that you have is on the same line as the:

amd vega 56, nvidia rtx 3050, nvidia gtx 1660Ti, nvidia gtx 1070Ti and the intel A580

So all of those perform roughly the same, if you go one line above, those the cards on the line will perform slightly better, 2 lines, a little better, 10 lines, much better etc

you can see with the chart that the closest modern amd gpu to your nvidia gtx 1660s is the amd rx 5600xt, but since it’s only one line above the one you have, it is only going to be slightly better than the one you have.

what you should do is open the shop on which you want to buy the card and find the card that is the highest on the list in the amd collumn that you can afford.

one thing to keep in mind is that both brands align with each others in terms of msrp/performance, the differences at the same price-points are very marginal, where the prices go wild is in the manufacturer’s (evga, asus, sapphire…) retail price, so if you have to compare two cards, do it with the msrp of the base models and then try to find a model which is close to it, just make sure the model you pick doesn’t have an habit of blowing up and you’ll be good to go, trying to optimize your choice reading hundreds of benchmarks is a pain that’s won’t net you much.

edit: you might be interested in moore’s law Is dead chart, the dude’s insufferable but the chart is pretty good.

With a bit more digging, you might even start to notice a pattern if all the articles, and realise that most sites you find on search engines are giving you nothing but articles generated through ai based on each other with little to no meaningful difference between each others

You might want to know about discord updates, if the maintainers of the distribution don’t update discord as fast as the discord developper, it will fail to launch when major update happen since those don’t go through the internal updater of the client, and discord only provide a .deb package, which you can install with a simple double click on debian based distribution (ubuntu, mint, mx, zorin etc), and a generic linux exectuable, which can be launched in any distributions but won’t be automatically integrated in your application menus

because of course, pointing out that capitalism will cause a specific problem can only be a disguised attempt to resuscitate Joseph Stalin.

the font you had before you changed it may have already been hitting the minimum size of your gtk theme

I’m guessing you mean that it is too thick in which case only 2 things will change this, the theme and the font size, I have for now only found 2 themes with a reasonably sized title bar that aren’t too ugly, adwaita-slim and dracula-slim. If you look for “compact” or “slim” in sites like cinnamon looks you might find ones you like better

so they wouldn’t break completely when installed on the “wrong” desktop

the kde apps are made theme agnostics specifically to not interfere with the way other desktops/distro want to theme them, and the gnome desktop is specifically made to not natively handle user themes so as to not interfere with the way apps are supposed to look like, mix that into a bowl and you get ugly kde apps, which one is in the wrong is for you to decide*¹, but at the end of the day you need another app to handle your qt-theming since gnome doesn’t natively support it.

as most people but not op

if you want to compete with Canoncial’s Snapstore

says it all about your mindset, you think big numbers are good regardless of context, as if google play wasn’t enough of a warning for other distribution platforms
