I agree installing something that isn’t super popular can be a bit harder on immutables. But I think especially on Bazzite the toolimg with distrobox is really good. And most non-technical users will probably find all they need as a flatpak anyway.

Love that the picture description underneath is saying (in German) “Hippo returning home” 😸

Didn’t he sue someone for saying something like this recently?

Thank you.

Recently saw I Saw the TV Glow and it’s such a wild ride! Can definitely recommend if you’re looking for something a bit different.

So how many balloons would it really take to lift a dog like that?

Yeah, it would also beextremely weird for the dog to have their feet (and spine) like that when being carried by balloons that way.

Yeah, pretty happy with it so far, not having to worry about an update making the computer unusable until you reinstalled everything is very nice!

Mh, taking another looks at Blender benchmarks ( https://opendata.blender.org ), highest Nvidia median score is 12k (4090), the one I have atm (4070) has a score of 7.2k, had a laptop with a mobile 4080 before (5.7k). I haven’t really noticed any difference between them, tbh, so take this next bit with a giant bit of salt: Highest Amd score is 3.9k for a AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX (I know nothing about Amd GPUs, most reviews are from 2022/23), not really sure what to make of this but it doesn’t look too good for Amd?

Ah, ok. Thanks for the answer, though 😸

That’s interesting!

For some reason my drawing tablet (Huion Kamvas 13) isn’t recognised by Ublue/Bazzite but works ootb on Kinoite. Some very helpful people on Ublue-Discord did some investigation and there’s a Github issue but it’s unresolved, there was speculation that it might be something to do with Surface tablet settings missing or overriding something, can’t quite remember.

Also kinda like that dog from Family Guy?

Haha, as someone who consumes a lot of Anime I completely agree but I also was kinda taken aback at first when this was not about the fanservice I have to try to avoid constantly 😸

Angel’s Egg

How is Blender on Amd GPUs compared to Nvidia? I always that it’s not really all that good but I’d love to be wrong here …

Can someone chime on who has used Blender with both and AMD GPUs vs Nvidia? Everything I could find out (which is surprisingly little) is that AMD is much slower (no real Cuda/Optix equivalent?) but I have no idea if that is true.

I only ever had Nvidia GPUs (for Blender 3d work) and while it can be kind of a hassle still it has gotten soooo much better, I ran Bazzite for a hot minute (not anymore since my graphic tablet doesn’t work with it) and it just worked ootb. On Kinoite now which was the usual “install these 500 packages via commandline” (but this time via rpm-ostree) but it still works fine.

Selfcare is a very important part of being an activist (a lesson I’m struggling woth a lot myself).

Not because you’re of use to noone if your burnt out but because we need to try to live the better world we’re fighting for. So choose your battles as they say and take time off and take care of yourself.

If demonstrating feels pointless (I know the feeling) try to find your niche, maybe something local where you can see the results. Work in a shelter or a charity or a garden project, whatever is important to you. You (probably) can’t change the world but you can change a tiny bit of it
