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?

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!

But he actually can not. He must have promised the world to shareholders, so now he has to deliver.

Lets give it to him, he is really good at it!

Please do not put this as a KPI! Let’s give cockroaches a chance.

That will take a few hundred million years to recover then. Not to the same biome, there will certainly be some crazy species popping up. From what i recall, Earth still has a few billion years before it is consumed by the Sun, should be ok.

There is actually another myth: the planet will do just fine - it is the humanity that will die as the result. Not that we would care about this nuance at that point…

As in, billions will die? That is a big change indeed…
