It’s an NVIDIA specific term that is the abbreviation for GPU System Processor. It’s a RISC-V core that does all sorts of management tasks on a modern Nvidia card, mostly related to task setup, resource allocation, context switching, adjusting clock speeds, etc.
I bought a used gen1 Thinkpad X1 Nano. It is super light (<1kg), works flawless out of the box with Linux, and while I think it does have a fan I’ve never noticed it.
Based on the neofetch it’s a Samsung Fold Z 4
I don’t mind this. It’s unreasonable to expect them to provide a free service forever without any kind of monetization.
Except that Spez can’t convert those options until some time after IPO and probably only in a staggered way.
In a lot of modern work flows this is incompatible with the development pattern.
For example, at my job we have to roll a test release through CI that we then have to deploy to a test kubernetes cluster. You can’t even do that if the build is failing because of linting issues.
If that’s your attitude, then I don’t think this is going to work out.
Wine is not a company. People building and fixing Wine to support a specific piece of software are largely volunteers. Noone works at Wine. Noone does product support. It’s a free service created by volunteers.
That’s how most Linux software gets built. And none of these people owe you anything. No support, no easy to use config.
Frankly, you sound incredibly entitled and unwilling to listen and learn to everyone here who’s tried to help you.
To answer your original question: there’s no one global way to make Wine run all software out of the box. That’s why Valve spends so much time tuning different setups of Wine for all the games they support. CodeWeavers to some extent does that for non game software.
Doing this for the wide variety of Windows software out there is an impossibly large task and frankly out of scope for what most Linux distributions have as a goal or intended use case. If you want to run Windows software on Linux, there are many different projects that try to package or help you install the most popular things. But other than that, you’re free to try on your own.
I never did Rails but I used Ruby for many personal projects in the 2000s.
When showing stuff to my coworkers or friends, I often joked how I tried to make my code look like it was already gzipped.
Depends heavily on the market segment. I also work in Europe and in my 15 years as a software developer (the first 6-7 as C/C++ developer) I’ve never seen anyone use Visual Studio.
I recently was in the market for a new dishwasher.
I compared the EU eco labels (which are based on water and energy use).
Buying the worst possible eco label currently on the market, and comparing it against the best two:
If I could find a decent 90s model for which parts were still widely available, I’d buy that instead. I truly doubt that burning through these poorly made newer devices are sufficiently more ecological than just using a old machine for a longer time.
I have one of these, but only use it for SteamVR. Does this mean I can’t update either?
AFAIK, the drivers come from Windows.
Edit:
From the article:
Existing Windows Mixed Reality devices will continue to work with Steam through November 2026, if users remain on their current released version of Windows 11 (version 23H2) and do not upgrade to this year’s annual feature update for Windows 11 (version 24H2). This deprecation does not impact HoloLens.
Well fuck. This headset is the only reason I keep a Windows PC around at all.
To quote the author himself:
Great, do whatever you want. Just shut the fuck up about it, nobody cares.
But then he proceeds to do the exact opposite and posts a vitriolic rant about how everyone who doesn’t use what they use is, in their words, and idiot.
What would you do if you had a million dollars?
Interesting! Got any links that explain how to set it up?
I just got a laptop with an RX 6700M 10GB ans am eager to try it :)
There have been some efforts to run pytorch and StableDiffusion on ROCm. Not sure if that could be combined with this.
Sounds similar to my most recent Nvidia experience.
Not an option, there’s no room in our living room to put a desktop and monitor permanently.
I have had so many issues with Nvidia drivers, especially on laptops with Optimus. Black screens after booting, random breakage when updating, having to fuck around with OpenGL libraries all the time when you have integrated Intel graphics and Nvidia graphics on the same system. It’s just a pain for me on laptops.
Wouldn’t be such a big issue on a desktop, but I’ve had a work-provided workstation with an Nvidia and 99% of the time if something broke on that machine, it was because Nvidia wasn’t compatible with some updated kernel or libraries.
Intel and AMD have both provided us with a painless driver experience that just works out of the box all the time and is integrated in all the open source things (mainly the Linux kernel and the Mesa libraries for OpenGL & Vulkan). With Nvidia, you need to throw all that out and use their proprietary blobs for OpenGL and Vulkan.
Also, I just think Nvidia is a scumbag company, trying to force single-vendor proprietary solutions on the market by abusing their dominant position (pushing CUDA while refusing to implement any new OpenCL version for over a decade, so software vendors couldn’t just pick a competitive open alternative is one example, the original G-Sync is another). I prefer not to give them any money if I can help it.
I use Microsoft SwiftKey for the same reasons, find it hard to switch or get used to anything else.
Having used SwiftKey since before Microsoft acquired them, I’m a little annoyed at all the shit they’ve tacked onto the keyboard (like no, I don’t need Bing and ChatGPT in my keyboard, thank you very much). But nothing else let’s me mix languages in the same way as SwiftKey.
