    I still havent been able to get the second drive writable and as a result havent used the PC pretty much at all. Drive is located /dev/sdb1 but terminal says its not a directory. Tried a few guides but none of them worked. Guess I'll look for another distro, Im an idiot, but this seems to be unusable.

    I will follow up via PM so as to not encourage derailment Really depends on surrounding locale and its culture.

    Pretty much every place I worked at I was very open about job hunting; wasn't flaunting more of a chance for them to find a replacement. From what I hear leaving a company is much more hostile than in pretty much any other country where 1-3 months is the time for notice of departure where as here in the US its only two weeks and often shown the door the day of submitting notice. Disorganization around Tech is much less structured than I would like to see, mostly because a lot of companies don't have procedures in place, and if so don't enforce them. Couple that with an abused salary structure and Tech generally becomes a regrettable choice in the moment.

    Technically, that was with us as well lol Luckily the previous Super Moderator was able to convince TechTarget to bring back the forum for a week to give us a chance to "decide where we go".

    Yep, plenty of posts regarding the topic. You can find all of the older posts from NBR on the NBRchive

    Thats normal behavior

    Heck by that time I won't be able to touch anything period correct lol hopefully by that time AMD will have stronger offerings :( Papusan, haven't had any issues on my end but I'll ask Hiew to take a look tonight when he's free from work.

    At some point I will need to replace what I have, I am concerned this synthetic trend will still be in place when that time approaches.

    Windows decided it needed my attention screwing with my mouse, so I didnt get too much time with it today, but Ace Combat 7 worked straight out of the box, no tweaks or anything needed. Going to try my PS4 controller next and see if it plays nice or not, even Windows typically works better with DS4Windows.exe (at least in my experience) I'll try your commands in a bit, I would love to try things like Horizon: Zero Dawn, Monster Hunter World and MGSV:TPP controller works via USB, havent tried anything wireless yet. Even if Steams reasons werent selfless, the result is great thus far.

    Not sure how much this holds up anymore with all the different SKU's but in "simpler" times it basically boiled down to this. GTX 460 = Best value GTX 470 = Dark horse GTX 480 = King, worst value Just like how... GTX 1060 = Value GTX 1070 = Dark Horse GTX 1080 = King An oversimplification, of course.

    Which is why @cylix can buy a 560Ti for 20 Euro, you're side stepping the point. If all that mattered in that context was performance, discussion would not take place in the first place. In other news I noticed a micro-stutter in the mouse of the 10850K system and couldnt get it to behave normally. Which was super odd considering AM4's issues with USB. It looks to be related to Windows though, loaded into WinPE and the problem is gone. Im guessing Windows 10 did some shenanigans while I was at work today. Completing a reset now. EDIT: Reset didnt fix it, resolved myself to a clean sweep via flash drive installation and poof the problem goes away. Sometimes its the smallest of things that annoy you the most, being perceptive sucks sometimes lol

    That would actually be interesting

    560Ti MSRP = 250 USD in 2011 3060Ti MSRP = 400 USD in 2023 1 USD in 2011 is about 1.32 in 2023 250 USD in 2011 is about 331 in 2023 3060Ti MSRP = 400 USD - 331 = 😞

    It's a shame you are in Europe I have too much workstation-esque hardware that would be a decent fit for that platform.

    From what I read the v1 boards are difficult to update to the v2 BIOS so that will save you a lot of head ache if you intend to upgrade the CPU's later

    I installed the 4000mah battery into mine, gets around 16 hours of max screen brightness and "OC". I also replaced the shell with an aftermarket one off of Amazon Lent it to my coworker so he would have something to do on the plane while flying to Vietnam. When ever I'm killing time I would often play metal slug anthology :) Interested in the oled panel but not really needed until my panel fails

    Can always start out by making a retro thread in the desktop subforum :)

    You would figure there would be some detail or notification that it will need to be made writeable after mounting > formatting since those actions are to make the drive useable. Perhaps this is just how Gparted handles it. New users will have no idea where to find the newly formatted drive since its technically not the root of its own directory from what I can tell. This is probably where a lot of people get frustrated and give up. If I ever make any guides, that will probably be where I would start just for the people that want to see if they can play their games without having to understand the file structure.

    Ran into issue already lol I formatted the 1TB drive to use it for Steam Games but I cant create the folder as its default to Read-Only. So tomorrow I get to look how to make that drive r/w, in the meantime I am installing a game on the root drive just for testing FPS in Ace Combat 7

    Finally getting around to installing Linux after all these years of pushing it off. Im interested to see how the open drivers work for the 5700 XT.
  22. Reciever
    I'd figure I would make a thread like this for people to give Linux a try and reach out for Linux assistance. You know it feels like the thing you are missing is just RIGHT there but have no idea what you are doing but dont want to make an account at those supposedly abrasive Linux forums to made the laughing stock. Just to be clear, me making this thread is also so I can participate, as I am an idiot. Its time to wear the badge with honor! Tonight I have installed Manjaro MATE on my AM4 system. 2700x @ 4.1 32GB DDR4 3200Mhz 256GB SSD Boot 1TB mSATA Games (hopefully) 5700XT Soon to be getting Steam running and hopefully overnight download a few titles

    I was going to buy some xfire/sli bridges but I figured I should ask you guys here first, anyone in the US48 have some laying around? If so i'll make a wanted and and we can make some kind of arrangement. I still want to bench my 5970 XFIRE and GTX 690 SLI

    If they don't get on top of uncertainty in the air people will start making other sites to succeed them. It happened for NBT and hwbot has many more passionate users not to mention an economy of sponsors

    Simple, move to another state, work, home, sleep and repeat. My friends are mostly all in Edmonton or Alberta.
