From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I have an Nvidia GPU, should I get an Intel or AMD CPU? (lemmy.world)

My old 4790k finally died, and I need to replace both the CPU & MB. I was wondering if there would be any conflict in having an AMD CPU and an Nvidia GPU.

I want to use Bazzite on it. I'm running the same distro on my main rig and I'm very happy with it.

Any suggestions?

There was a two-generation long lithography issue that they had not been able to solve. You are grossly understating the technical scope of the problem, as well as the trust issues Intel themselves created with the way they handled the whole debacle.

I’m not ever going to buy a 13/14 gen Intel core unless it’s at absolute bargain basement prices. In a professional IT context, nobody in purchasing departments should be buying the impacted SKUs in the affected date range (and practically, that means “they won’t buy those SKUs, full stop”).

The problem has been fixed. As long as you don't have a hardware fault you are fine. To be fair I personally wouldn't buy one of these chips new. That doesn't matter though as they have moved on to the latest gen. The latest gen has less rare performance but is more efficient and hopefully actually stable.

Intel is learning some multi billion dollar lessons right now. We need strong competition with AMD. Right now they competition is used products.

Also I would totally buy a bunch of defective Intel chips for cheap in hopes of getting one working.
