I started my interest in Linux with SuSE 4.2. I left that because of Novell and the huge loss of features at that time, like all the simple useful things they stripped out of the distro package to become corporate copyright friendly. (Cd burner toast being an example) The last time I tried openSUSE was a disc of tumbleweed. It didn’t do it for me, ‘have a lot of fun’ didn’t ring true. I feel this can either be the end: it isn’t and hasn’t been ‘SuSE’ for many years. Or it could be a new distro that is better than it’s progenitor. (Like Mint is an anti-Ubuntu based on it.)

My case was purely, that I had upgraded the gpu in my classic Mac Pro, and thought that a SFX pc build could be done with the old gpu and a power supply and mobo. It started out with a cheap mobo, to hold only an old i7 from an imac that was parted out, and 8gb of ram (2x4 sticks I had spare) and the vega56. I found it so capable a system, that the only issue was ram when I forgot about the dozen tabs open on a browser, and the game just launched would hang the system. Before I would ‘waste’ spending money on the max 16gb that this board could hold, I started collecting the parts for it’s current setup; a520i, ryzen5 5600x , 64gb, nvme ssd and the gpus I’ve now swapped between the cMP so now it’s a rx5700xt. Use is purely a spare, don’t want a windows machine, I’ve got the mac for a server/media machine, so it’s all purpose and games on the Linux box. Although I have got dual boot capability set up on both just because I could, maybe something really offside would need w10 - one example; VCDS car diagnostic software that doesn’t support anything but win.

Wondering how my 64gb will outlast every other part upgrade my gaming Linux box will get over the years

Everyone needs a hobby, but definitely not a hill.

Make America clean again!

From the main protagonist from Linux sucks, because I downvoted it and everything in that community and that idiot’s post history. Lol

Donkey shine. But seriously, I sort of did that phonetically by mistake. Immer lernen.

Skoda used to not be owned by VW, and back then they were bad like Lada.

‘bei nasser’

I thought this was going to be an American joke about automatics, but then realised that this is like when I explained to younger colleagues that I just drove my car home ‘crash gearbox style’ when the clutch failed, some were amazed that it was even possible. (Match the revs and feel the gear mesh) Edited to add: when I first tried linux on a pc with CRT monitor, to get a gui going I had to roll my own modeline. Bzzt, oh not that value, ctrl-c try another one. Such funsies
