2026 is starting with half-baked NVidia drivers and missing functionality on linux? I am so surprised... did you try 17 different previous versions to get it running in true NV-Linux fashion?

This stuff has been flawless on AMD systems for a while a couple of years now, with the exception of the occasional archaic app that only runs on X11 (thus shoved in a container).


Flawless on AMD? Absolutely not. 2-3 years ago there used to be a amdgpu bug that froze my entire laptop randomly with no recourse beyond the 4 second power button press. After that was fixed, it sometimes got stuck on shutdown. Now it doesn't do that randomly anymore, but yet all it takes to break it, is to turn off the power to my external monitor (or the monitor powering off by itself to save energy) or unplugging it, after which it can no longer be used without rebooting and then sometimes it gets stuck on shutdown.

AMD iGPU driver is broken for me right this very moment: https://issues.chromium.org/issues/442860477?pli=1

Clarification: The AMD iGPU driver (or Chrome) on Ubuntu 24.04 has bugs on your hardware. You could try a newer and different distro (just using a live-USB) to see if that has been fixed.

Me too. I have the freezes-on-shutdown bug on my AMD video adapter.

Does AMD support CUDA yet? Because otherwise you can't use it for video editing.

Ask NV to open up CUDA and then maybe AMD can start even thinking about supporting it :)

Or you could just not use Linux. lol

I'd rather use Linux than NV

If you want to edit video, you need to use Linux, and NVidia.

Rewards are also a permanent infinite money glitch that last in perpetuity? Or won't be changed in the future?

> It's puzzling to me why some still don't understand the systemic incentives...

Then I guess you're the type who will be really surprised to learn that with diminishing rewards comes increasing consolidation.

> ... that make all this work as it has for 16 years and counting...

That's convenient way to memory hole the market flash crashes, network forks, the blocks mined without consensus, and everything bad that happened over that timeframe.


The OP is hardly anywhere near as sensational as the latest AI generated github something-or-another typically posted here. I found the article extremely useful and would not be aware that it effected MORE THAN ONE product line. Please don't let @dang bury this IMO. If you have an alternative URL please post it!

He's not intentionally sensationalist, he's just flat out wrong. An uninformed piece like this does not belong here IMO without heavy context provided front and center.

Not only that, but the symptoms for hypoglycemia do change over your life, so that what is felt today (e.g. excessive sweating, blurred vision) may be totally different in the future (e.g. confusion, tingling thighs). Or you lose that sense of feeling entirely and never notice a problem until it's way too late to easily remedy.

XML Config? Can someone explain that decision?


AutoCAD had LISP from the beginning.

The existing online mass is what attracted the VC in the first place, same as it ever was. It was mostly privately funded and very much a confederacy (AOL vs Prodigy vs BBS) at the time, much like now.


Funny how Microsoft products tend to instill blindness over time; refocusing on git hooks (and not the UI) can offer some perspective.


There was never a plot to follow; if there isn't a better name for an editor than "vi" (because "ed" is already taken) then maybe they should try getting rid of verbs too to give it more "refreshed" branding.


No, the editor is "ex" (for extended ed…) and "vi" is it's other face… (when you call vi, it’s same as calling ex then issuing :visual command…)


I just want an editor! Not a "viitor". Not an "emacsitor". Those aren't even words!!!

Imagine calling your firm "Commerical Firm". Would this even be allowed?
