It’s Canadian oil money going to Canadian citizens.

When the Alberta economy collapses because the idiots refuse to diversify, you’ll be begging for those equalization payments from the other provinces.

Are those different versions of the game? If so, isn’t it just a matter of putting files in the right place or running a particular executable?

They likely won’t catch every bit of AI generated code, but I don’t think that’s the point. In my view the point is to take a stand and try. It also signals that the authors care about their code in a certain way.

There are all sorts of things that are impossible to perfectly enforce, but that doesn’t mean we just give up. Insider trading is extremely difficult to prove, and I bet more people get away with it than don’t, but I still think making it illegal is a good policy.

I think a lot of it depends on use case and other components. I use KDE Plasma with Wayland, and have a 32:9 monitor. For games, I want to play at 16:9 or 21:9, so I use gamescope to reduce the aspect ratio. It’s likely that if I had a “normal” monitor, many of my problems would have disappeared.

I initially bought the nVidia GPU after hearing how far the drivers have come, and I was pleasantly surprised by how much did in fact work. It’s really too bad that I did run into enough annoyances to need to switch back to AMD.

Cyberpunk must run really well on your machine! I hope you enjoy it!

I was using a 4070Ti until 6 months ago when I switched. It was fine for the most part, but I also ran into a lot of games that would crash in gamescope or have rendering issues. There was also some other 3D software (Orca Slicer and FreeCAD come to mind) that didn’t work well with the GPU. Some software with embedded browsers also had rendering issues and needed certain environment variables set. Looking through the bug reports, the issues were related to nVidia.

Maybe the software and drivers hadn’t caught up to each other yet, but there were enough bugs supposedly related to nVidia hardware 6 months ago that made me want to switch.

I’ve had far fewer issues on the AMD GPU.

I think that machine should handle games at 1440 just fine, let alone 1080. Looks like a nice build!

Good call going with a Radeon for Linux. I have a 9070XT and it runs great! I used to have an nVidia GPU, and while it was fine for the most part, it was occasionally problematic (especially with gamescope)

One thing to check is the power connector on your GPU. If it has a 12V-2x6, getting a power supply that provides the same connector will make things easier.

I assume “real cat” as in no longer a kitten. Like a term of endearment: “all grown up like a real big cat!”
