It’s been the same for 20 years at least. My first nVidia card was a geforce2 but I had an integrated SOC one that borrowed main board memory before that called a RIVA TNT 2. Prior to that had an ISA SVGA card but can’t remember who made it:

lol. Yeah navigating any driver website is a pita. I just search nVidia driver download and it drops me there.

That’s what in used to use but there are some features you can’t access without the physx components so I get the whole package now. For baseline it’s good for sure.

They’ve never been hidden. You just go to the website, put in your model and download it. There’s apps that do it for you now which is where this must be coming from. Still doesn’t change the fact you can directly download the driver.

I don’t think you’ll regret it. The story is incredibly rich and outcomes depend a lot on your choices and playstyles. It never feels like you’re grinding for levels to me. There’s the occasional bug, but no more than other games I’ve played. I think it’s probably the first genre defining game we’ve seen in about a 15 years.

It’s a good game now. I waited over 2 years to buy it and think it’s the best single player shooter I’ve played since Bioshock/HL2. Have completed it 5 times now using different builds and am thinking about getting the expansion if it goes on sale at xmas.

Ditto. Windows is now impossible to decrapify. Have dipped my toe in Linux gaming about a half dozen times starting in 2004 but it never felt ready til now. Proton, nvidia drivers and distros like Nobara making it not just possible but a better experience.

IRC, bulletin boards that had links to each other…. The old net was decentralised by default.

Nice to see someone else was around when the lore was written :D

In NZ instead of AOL it was xtra and Paradise.

Yup.

It’s a sarcastic take on common advice. It’s implied by the inanity of the suggestion. Most people got it, wasn’t something you saw. You’ll get it next time :).

A voting system would make it more likely a programme like that will be abused by bullies to further alienate their victims and place them in the ‘bully’ school.

You’re not wrong but I don’t see what that has to do with my point, which was - don’t blame distros for this. They can influence the conversation but not control it. If you find what you want isn’t supported then pick something that supports most things like Ubuntu, or Nobara.

Driver support is down to the manufacturer. Distros can’t give you things that don’t exist.

North Atlantic accent I think it’s called. Have a read of the wiki. Kinda interesting.

Depends on how fast I’m talking but, yup. South islanders do it more than north ime.

I know when I pronounce it, it’s different on the a/e - NZ English.

I said near the top, lol. There are people there who want to help, like Sanders, but they never have any real power outside their constituency.

She’s not dumb enough to get caught. At this stage governments all over the western world have been selling their voters taxes, health and wellbeing and service regulation to big business since at least the 80s. There’s not a single person near the top of any of these steaming shit heaps that isn’t greedy and amoral.
