It’s easy to misdetect the card. You just need to flash broken firmware on it that pretends it’s a different card. This is definitely not a 2070 because 1) Powercolor does not make nVidia cards and 2) RTX 2000 GPUs don’t have DVI ports.

Returning it is what OP should do. He paid for a working card, he should not be dealing with firmware flashing. Though I’d try using GPU-Z on a Windows machine to be sure first. Technically you can only be 100 % sure after reading the laser print from the GPU die but that might make returning harder so I wouldn’t bother.

What’s wrong with 2 PSUs if both of them are connected to the same ground? I thought multiple PSUs is common in the server space too.

in other words: OP either needs to get a thunderbolt dock or straight up have 2 computers. The latter should not even consume that much more power if the PC gets shut down in the evening and woken up using wakeonlan in the morning.

Sounds cool but I didn’t really get how it works from the README, or I guess didn’t get a proper example. They showed that you can automagically log into website but that can also just be done with a password manager.

Garuda advertises a different scheduler so I would think that would make difference. It’s also one of the things people recommend to improve gaming performance on Linux. Unfortunately as others have pointed out without 1% lows, there is nothing of value in this video. Saying that with respect to Nick. He should step up his game in this area. Average fps just doesn’t tell anything, especially on Linux which is even less consistent than Windows

I am aware. I was just pointing out that Tivotization would be a weird reason for “a bust” when we are in a linux community and Linux itself does not prevent Tivotization.

Yeah that makes sense but does not really fit with the theme “GPL or bust” since Linux itself does not use v3

Comparisons with other kernels is imo relevant. Protecting software that has many alternatives from becoming proprietary is nice but not really important when the potential software vendor can just choose a different but equivalent project. It would not really matter if people interacted with this proprietary fork of RedoxOS or BSD, they would get screwed either way.

Note: the original comment was “GPL or bust”. imo GPL is nice but in this case it’s a minor thing

I could see Pine64 doing once the chip becomes cheaper

there is also Virt-Manager and quickemu with quickgui, if you want friendly GUI though.

PlayOnLinux takes care of it for you. Office 2013 supposedly works very well, Office 2016 can be sometimes buggy. For the 2016 version you need to get the 32 bit iso.

The domain can be “localhost”. You just need to forward the RDP port from your host to the Windows guest.

My reason to use M$ Office was Visual Basic which didn’t work on Libre Office and that doesn’t work in the web apps either.

Sure but protect from what? Apple, Sony and Microsoft can just use BSD or any other proprietary kernel. Nobody will try to create the “new proprietary Linux” out of it because getting OS market share is hard even for an Open Source standard like Linux, let alone for some proprietary crap.

A potential issue is someone like Qualcom who makes their own proprietary fork which works on their hardware only. So instead of digging through the tens of thousand lines of code which Qualcom publishes for their out of tree Linux kernels, you can only reverse engineer. But again we are talking about a microkernel so most of these lines of code would be proprietary regardless. At least we save time of these crazy developers who try to bring out of tree stuff into mainline.

If your point is that it would need some kind of license that would prevent proprietary drivers, then I’m not really sure how would lawyers differentiate between drivers and straight up non-free apps running on it.

What benefit would it provide though? It’s a microkernel so you could just add non-free drivers in the userspace. Things like Playstation would choose BSD instead.

I think what they tried to achieve was to get rid of the “bit to bit” copypasted distributions which they at least made harder to make. So I suppose at least the cost to “steal the RHEL source” is higher.

btw I dislike that Free Software is also free (0.00 €) software. I feel like there should be some kind of chimera license which would first be proprietary with source available and after a certain time after purchase the code would be open source for the buyer. So you could actually sell it unlike Open Source Software which you can sell only once because the first person can just start giving away free copies. Sadly people in the open source realm tend to get pretty defensive when they see “proprietary”. Would cool if flathub at least implemented some kind of way to sell software even if Open Source, that would be a nice start.

Because you’re a stupid consoomer. You can build a 4 liter ITX desktop that’s cheaper, faster, more reliable and easier to repair than these stupid “desktop replacements”. Plus for the price difference you can buy a “thin and lite” laptop so that you won’t have to carry this monster around when you just need to reply to emails on the go.

edit: just to clarify I’m not saying you in particular are a stupid consoomer, just the person in the given example. People tend to get angry fast on the internet.
