I have a book on my to read list that delves into all the ideas about the "big bang" and how a lot of scientists are convinced that there were are and will be more "big bangs"

It's called "Battle of the Big Bangs"

I learned it from Alex O'Connor's "Within Reason" podcast episode 115

I was SHOCKED how well Fedora and Bazzite handled my 5060 after a month of fighting to get it going on pop os.

And Ollama is free and better if you really need AI stuff.

I fucking ran out of memory yesterday playing Oblivion Remastered with 5 Firefox tabs open.

32GB ddr4 3600 kit!

I'm fucking upgrading next week!

Probably

Hachyderm.io Startrek.website

Then if web apps count then my proxmox instance

If not then floatplane.com

I'm a Linus shill, but I'm also a Craft Computing, LevelOneTechs, and Jeff Geerling shill.

From what I understand its not as fast as a consumer Nvdia card but but close.

And you can have much more "Vram" because they do unified memory. I think the max is 75% of total system memory goes to the GPU. So a top spec Mac mini M4 Pro with 48GB of Ram would have 32gb dedicated to GPU/NPU tasks for $2000

Compare that to JUST a 5090 32GB for $2000 MSRP and its pretty compelling.

$200 and its the 64GB model with 2x 4090's amounts of Vram.

Its certainly better than the AMD AI experience and its the best price for getting into AI stuff so says nerds with more money and experience than me.

Honestly if you're not gaming or playing with new hardware, there is absolutely no point.

I've considered swapping this computer over to Fedora for a hot minute, but it really is a gaming PC and I should stop trying to break it.

True, but I have an addiction and that's buying stuff to cope with all the drawbacks of late stage capitalism.

I am but a consumer who must be given reasons to consume.
