  1. Does anyone know how to setup an auxiliary display with AMD eyefinity in windows 10?? I am using a Vega 64. I can't find any option to remove a monitor from the eyefinity group or tell it to only use 3 of the 4 screens when creating the eyefinity display group. Thanks.
  2. First, Australia pricing is its own thing, not relevant. Second. 1080 ti has 3584 cuda cores. 2080 has 2994 cuda cores. 1080ti msrp $699. 2080 msrp $799. Still double speak. Exactly!
  3. These numbers sound good.. except its double speak. All the cards went up a tier, especially in price. The 2080ti replaces the titan, the 2080 replaces the 1080ti.. etc etc. So if the 2080 is 40% better than the 1080, thats useless. Is 1080ti money. It needs to be 25% better than the 1080ti to be worth it. But its most likely a close tie to the 1080ti.
  4. Facebook will promptly "prove him wrong" but doing to him exactly everything he's outline in his memo. Also i don't think LTT forums is a free and open space where we can talk about these issues, this thread will get locked fast.
  5. Same thing happens on my system. Going to distro hop till I find one that works i guess.
  6. Now someone has to compile the list of games that work but aren't official supported. Exciting.
  7. Cool man. Hope it works for you. I like where valve is going with this.
  8. Wow 4 pages on this thread and no talk of actually using it. Not surprised. I tried quake on lubuntu and it didn't work. Showed it was being available for proton... clicked to launch the game.. and nothing ever happened. Might try some other distros.
  9. So they announced this months ago... check my account.... still 1tb. Now its launched... check my account still 1tb. Check website... says "coming soon". How many times are they going to announce this dumb thing before people actually have it. TLDR its still not out... just hype part 2.
  10. Linux doesn't have alternative for media player classic? Really?

  13. Oh...i see. You have now convinced me that windows doesnt install crapware... windows doesnt serve ads, cares about my privacy, and does a great job with updates and reboots. I cant argue with your logic. You WIN.
  14. You're probably right. Windows always gets a patch to optimize for amd's out of the box cpu tech.
  15. Linux doesnt install crapware randomly that i never asked for, doesnt serve me ads despite being paid software, and gives the user control over updates/privacy/and reboots. Windows 10 is a flaming turd that people only tolerate because the AAA games are still there (and it has adobe, which still has users despite being poorly optimized and un-innovative). It's days are numbered as long as this continues and they continue to piss off the enterprise by having buggy forced updates that break critical systems. I guess i can just keep stating this over and over since you's STILL never refuted any of these claims.
  16. Wow. You didnt follow my directions at all. I said to refute the arguments I presented in my original argument. I'll paste them here again for you. " No comments because Linux doesn't really need additional strengths over windows 10. That battle is won. Linux doesnt install crapware randomly that i never asked for, doesnt serve me ads despite being paid software, and gives the user control over updates/privacy/and reboots. Windows 10 is a flaming turd that people only tolerate because the AAA games are still there (and it has adobe, which still has users despite being poorly optimized and un-innovative). It's days are numbered as long as this continues and they continue to piss off the enterprise by having buggy forced updates that break critical systems. " Not sure why you felt the need to keep talking about your claims over and over despite the fact the very first thing i said to you was how you cant convince me if you dont refute my claims. Again i'll paste that here for you once more. " I can't be persuaded with your argument since you failed to refute any of the claims I made. I don't live in a world where copying and pasting is hard (thats easier than finagling with registries, dll's, and .net framework), i can't compare anything to linux's main os website because i dont know what main linux is? compared to microsoft's legit (legit what?). I cant even read that sentence "compared to MS's legit happened with Mint". Linux drivers are actually pretty stable now, You don't even mention by name what you feel is the most common API so I cant be swayed but that." Please READ. It helps in having conversations. Likewise switching to personal attacks about how i'm angry doesnt reflect well on your character or you're intellect, and can also be off putting in trying to have converstions.
  17. Thanks for the clarification! 1. I think for people who dont want to mess with a terminal, for those people, their uses cases would easily be served without the need to enter the terminal. 2. Linux Mint isn't comparable to Microsoft. Maybe Red Hat or Canonical would be a better comparison. I think far more windows users are infected with ransomware than linux. That may be a more important topic to discuss since we are comparing user experiences. 3. Lets have a competition. Let's compare the amount of hardware that works on linux, or even the number of systems that run well on linux, versus that of windows, and all the hardware that is no longer compatible with Windows 10 because its too old, likewise the number of systems that dont run well on windows because its too bloated. Lots of hardware became bricks because MS moved on from 95/98/XP/7. 4. You cant blame Linux for not supporting an API that is closed source and not available to them. Closed source standards will never win, see 3dfx glide. Opengl is the only standard that has actually stood the test of time. Now your turn. Refute the claims I made in my original argument about why Windows 10 is a flaming turd.
