I was thinking physics processing. Cloth/soft body sim, smoke/dust and other particle physics, potentially water physics, and so on.

Who do we think is ZLUDA’s new backer? 10 bucks says it’s Valve. Tbh I don’t really believe that myself since Valve has been pretty transparent in its funding, but who else stands to gain as much?

Yestermorrow

I probably could have phrased that better. Why are the projects that are being funded significant? Apologies.

Can someone give me a rundown on why the projects being funded are significant?

I wouldn’t call it unproductive. We live in an era where things “just work,” and when they don’t then you end up with complications. Would a business switch to Linux if they see that network problems are a possibility? Maybe when they’re looking to upgrade their hardware, but even then they’d have to get their IT department to research hardware that will “just work” with Linux. And after that, they need to find a commercial wholesaler to provide the kit or have the company custom build however many PCs themselves, just so they don’t end up having financial losses due to failed network connections. Would they put Linux on their current hardware? Hell no. Windows is a known quantity and no business is going to risk losses by introducing a potentially risky operating system to their systems/workflow. It is good to point out the issues with the OS so that those issues can be fixed. It’s good to hear the perspectives of the everyman if we want Linux to grow.

RIP FreeBSD. Wonder what the “Unknown” ones are though.

Idk about American universities, but C++ was taught at Memorial University of Newfoundland when I attended 8 years ago. Granted it was a robotics class so maybe it’s different. Either way, makes more sense to me to learn C/C++ since most things are programmed in that.

Interesting, but means little without accreditation.

EDIT: Also, why’s it all Java?

EDIT2: Addressing the downvotes: If you really think that any employer these days is going to be happy with “Learned from a list on Github” on your resume then you’re sorely mistaken. It doesn’t matter if the courses match an accredited program. The accreditation is what matters because no accreditation = no diploma. Employers like diplomas.

What’s stopping Windows from banning WINE if this is the case?

If there was widespread backing by powerful, moneyed agents then it would stop being 1%. The EU is currently experimenting with digital sovereignty. They could adopt Linux and make a EUnix (Yoo-Nix) that is on par with Windows in terms of features and ease of use.

Love it. Book 5 in December :))))

Not blocked for me, so no

EDIT: Also, is that a Stormlight reference?

Damn bro, why does the firefox logo look like a Finnish spitz

Who shat in your garden? Geez man, it’s just a logo.

Can you elaborate a little? What makes AMD more open than Nvidia now that Nvidia is transitioning to open source drivers? And does AMD work better simply due to longer time in development?

Been planning on replacing my 980Ti with an AMD card. Maybe I’ll stick with team green now. Can anyone give me an opinion against that?

I’m not certain that OEM bloatware will account for a 20% performance loss.

Is there anything wrong with that?

If your terminal tells you to input a highly specific, full-length sentence, do not input that sentence. Linus.
