I would live boot or install side by side another more modern distro before dumping the card. It’s a fine card it just requires effort to get working unlike AMD/Intel.

Good to know that your different distribution works well with your different GPU.

Great but it’s not working out of the box and clearly that was the expectation.

AMD has built in support so no extra steps needed.

Ubuntu has a history of not having the latest kernels and having spotty support for new hardware.

Sure you can fix it but again the out of the box expectation.

We can agree that it should work and can work and I don’t disagree that always suggestions a different distribution is not generally helpful but watching people suffer trying to get Ubuntu working is a sore spot for me.

I hate to be the jerk but it’s because you got Nvidia. Intel and AMD cards enjoy significantly better graphics card support.

I would also try a different distribution that’s known for having more recent kernels and faster development. Something like Manjaro is actually a pretty good fit for this situation.

I would divest the world from fossil fuels, fund carbon capture. Build housing and mass transit like mad. Feed everyone who needs it, make education and healthcare human rights.

Basically star trek.

For the most part it’s easy just cancel prime. We still use it on occasion but paying for shipping makes you really think about the value of what you’re buying.

Turns out we were buying mostly crap we did not need.

Existential dread of facing the day?

Or is that just me?

There’s no performance improvement to wiping an SSD. At least not meaningfully, on a completely empty SSD that has been factory wiped. You may see a first time right improvement but that goes away as soon as the SSD starts doing garbage collection.

As for your other reasons, they’re completely up to you.

Take a look at Howdy, like finger print it wont allow full access but once you log in at first boot you should be able to lock and log back in using your face or other bio-metric.

Firing the FED chairman and putting a political appointee in his place. It’s kicking the ladder out from underneath you while you hang yourself with Epstein’s rope.

Resize your partitions so you can use the empty space.

Then install to the new position.

Update grub.

If they do I go…

Nexus 4, Nexus 5, Nexus 7, Pixel, Pixel 5, and now Pixel 8 user.

For the most part the hardware is fine but what really sets them apart is pulling it out of the box. Clicking the build number until I’m a developer, turning on USB debugging and OEM unlocking, rebooting and installing my own choice of OS or ROM.

You didn’t understand memes do you?

Boys thinking it’s a girl’s fault are in for trouble.

Distro’s are not like picking between windows or mac, Nearly all linux distributions are based on the same linux kernel and many of the base GNU packages. The main differences between distributions are philosophical.

Some distro’s will focus on free as in speech over free as in beer meaning if something has closed source, or proprietary code they may or may not include it. You can still download and install proprietary software and drivers regardless of this initial choice.

Some distro’s will have a preferred package manager which is like their software or app store, but if you dont like the one they picked you can install a different one.

As for security, linux is as secure as you make it, its vastly more secure than Windows out of the box, and probably more secure than MacOS but we dont really know because both Apple and Microsoft dont publish their code so we cant review or audit its security. Setting up a secure linux install is dead simple and you can find dozens of guides for every distribution and edge case.

Since the main tool you want to run is Davinci Resolve it makes sense to see what distribution they test against and go with that, rather than pick an arbitrary “secure” distribution. It will be simpler to harden their preferred distro than to take a hardened distro and make their software work on it.

I suggest checking their website and going with their top suggestion.

Because often that type of relationship is highly abusive and the power structure is horribly lopsided. Inherently there is nothing wrong with money being a priority in a relationship, but in my experience the people who set out with that goal often end up very unhappy because a relationship based on money becomes transactional in its every nature.

The “good” partners wont be interested in a partner who is just there for money, so they wont be interested in you.

You do you, but i dont know any happy gold diggers, or people with a sugar partner with the exception of a single couple, and in that case the husband had a high paying job but his wife’s income was 10x his so he was not working because they needed the money so they decided he should be a state at home parent. He sees his job as being eye candy for her, he takes care of all kid related things, cleans the house every day, and then spends 2-4hr a day at the gym so he is in peak physical form for her.

What a revolution surely there won’t be any consequences.

KDE has good tablet mode support, and I strongly suggest using Xournal++ if she intends to use a stylus and take hand written notes.
