  • Recently built a PC with an AMD GPU. Tried to figure out how to install AMD drivers, because Mint’s driver manager didn’t seem to offer anything like it would for nvidia… Turns out AMD drivers are just part of the Linux kernel and you don’t need to install them at all. Nice.

    I did have one problem though - my hardware is too new and the kernel shipped with Mint doesn’t really support it yet. But it was surprisingly easy to install a newer kernel. And anyway for any PC that doesn’t use bleeding edge hardware, this would never be an issue.

    <3 Mint and Linux




  • You anarchist!

    Real talk though, I think specs are literally my favorite thing in the world. The truly great ones are so good that there’s never a real reason to deviate from them - if you do, you’re either doing something wrong or you’re taking a shortcut for a hobbyist project (which is fine, but not for anything mass-produced). USB is mostly one of those great specs. The cable you posted is an abomination. There is always a better way.

    As much as I dislike about Discord, I can’t deny that its level of service, polish and ease of use are just superb. Especially for voice chat with friends with integrated screen sharing that just works.

    There are show stoppers sometimes - occasionally messages just don’t get sent or received for whatever reason, and Discord’s handling of it is just bad. It’s pretty important for a chat app to work reliably for chat. But when it works (which is almost always), boy is it nice.

    Haven’t tried Revolt and I likely can’t because of the network effect already mentioned by someone else. How does it compare in ease of use, ease of setting up, feature set for free users, etc.?
