That’s why the fish is there, in case I’m not thirsty

You need to freeze it. I doubt they’ll let you in with a liquid

It’s not FOSS and you need an account but in a pinch and for just learning it’s really good.

FreeCAD is great but has some certain limitations you may run into with more complicated projects.

Onshape is amazing given you can use it for free but… It has other types of limitations regarding ownership and licencing (for free version).

I’m at the point where I still miss some Windows functionality but at the same time I’ve been on Linux for half a year now and can say with absolute certainty that there are now things that I would miss from Linux if I switched back to Windows.

So both OS can now irritate me equally in different ways.

When will you give me back the $1000 you’ve borrowed last month?

7800X3D went into EOL before 9800X3D released so it will no longer be made, the stock will go down and price will likely stay as it is at best.

If they don’t want me to buy them then why should I buy them now instead of borrowing them for free for unspecified amount of time from the Internet?

The game sucks because of the writing not because it runs on a different engine

When you try to run a thing that everyone assures you now works on Linux flawlessly but for some reason it does not work for you in particular so you dwell deep into troubleshooting and try everything possible until you break something but then you figure out how to make it work without breaking your system so you re-install OS and start again for it to just suddenly work without the workaround just so you stumble on the same scenario with another program.

Haven’t finished the game yet but this is my 11th Honor campaign

I wish you were a cat too

I don’t remember ever being so unexcider about any GPU or CPU HW release for gaming.

New CPUs are hardly worth upgrading to from 5800X3D and my 2nd hand 6800 XT that I got 2y ago for €400 and overclocks like crazy (20% on air cooling) is still so damn good that new cards which match that lvl of performanve are still like €500-€600… So if 8000 series will actually be cheaper it may finally match my 6800 XT with €/performance… Wow! It only took several years!

I’m upgrading ASAP just for ROCM 6.2 because almost nothing seems to work ever since I’ve updated to 6.1.2 for some reason

Lucky you had no solo part

Yes it did not have Lunar Lake to which I said “Regrading their newest chips, I have no clue as of right now.” because we really don’t have any significant testing done at low power for these chips for gaming to compare with SD.

As was already mentioned, I’m not discussing ARM. ARM has its own issues with compatibility on top of the Windows to Linux compatibility.

Not sure what you mean by Intel. MSI Claw showed quite abysmal performance at low power vs SD. Regrading their newest chips, I have no clue as of right now.

Nothing yet surpassed Zen2 low power efficiency in the SD. And by low power I mean under 10W power/performance.

New chips scale quite a bit better above 10W though.

Also I’m not sure if that’s actually the HW limitation or just Valve tuning of the power behaviour. It’s possible they can throw in Zen5 and tune it to that efficiency level while getting significant performance uplift over Zen2 at the same power.

Regarding GPU we will need much faster memory support to get any significant advantages even with RDNA4 as most iGPUs are starved for memory bandwidth anyways, not saying that RDNA4 wouldn’t be an improvement, just that it won’t be as big as a leap as it could be with faster memory.

Well, I progressed quite a bit and learned a lot more than I knew until now but I give up. This is way over my head, I’ll stick to using ROCM for now. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction at least.
