  • I’m not sure about the specific AI apps you mention, but from my personal experience the “AMD works way better than Nvidia on Linux” mindset is no longer a thing.

    When I upgraded to a new gpu a few years ago, I first got an AMD gpu because of that mindset that was all over the internet (I believed them), but for the life of me I couldn’t get games to run properly with it. A week later I traded it for an Nvidia card and it just works.

    I do suffer from system wake from sleep issues that I think are the nvidia drivers fault, but atleast I can play games if I decide to.



  • I just used Nestlé and slaves as an example. Feel free to change the company name and reason to anything else. My point is just that any company doing anything bad enough should stop you from supporting them.

    Most people don’t care enough about doing this (me included at times), which is sort of how (one reason) we’ve ended up with these massive companies that can do whatever they want. It sucks to say but if Nestlé went out of business and 10k people lost their jobs, it’s probably a net good for the planet when the next good company takes lead (good as in pays and treats employees fairly, etc). This outcome sounds better than letting them run free as we do now.

    In reality if we were able to hurt a companies bottom line enough, like Nestlé, jobs might not be lost, because they may actually change and become better to the point where we can buy their shiz again.
