Not an ultrawide fan tbh, because the third monitor is mainly for productivity and multitasking

Yeah true, truthfully idk I will even use three monitors for FS since I tend to use Vatsim and Sim Tool Kit Pro on other monitors but just wanted to know if its possible. I think maybe three monitors on Horizon 5 and Motorsport 2023 or maybe F1 is more likely.

Yeah, 2080 right now, and I'm getting hammered on approaches even on one monitor, truthfully 30 or higher is fine as long as its stable.

I am building a new PC (i9-14900k, 64gb ddr5,) and was wondering if the 4080 is ok for FS 2020 at 1440P 144hz, possibly with triple 1440p monitors. I was considering the 4090 but it is pretty much out of stock and the only ones in stock are like $500 more minimum. I can give up ultra settings or the three monitors but I'm just curious about what people think.

Do you know how this could possibly be disabled?

got it to boot with the original 8gb stick but still black with the 16gb stick, but the stick works on another laptop.

11th gen Core i3

I tried to upgrade the RAM in my Think Pad e14 gen 2 and the screen is black and the power button blinks and turns off and then repeats. I tried replacing it with the original ram and nothing happened. Any advice?

Problem was solved, when I removed the GPU it changed the id of the Ethernet NIC, changed the id and it works now.

I belive its posting since I am able to see the proxmox terminal with no GPU using the intel integrated graphics and can enter commands, but I may be wrong

I removed my GPU from my proxmox server and now web interface is not showing up and the server doesn't appear online at all now. When i plug in my display to the onboard graphics the proxmox terminal shows and I can type in commands. How can I fix this?

With arm I do see Microsoft having to really double down on arm for windows since apple's arm chips are really good meaning gaming on mac, and to be honest, macs are not that expensive and have good performance for the price can happen. As for steam deck, its still a niche, gaming is still a small part of windows so I think they aren't to worried and that device can run windows, but it will make developers make more Linux builds for games since it runs better on steam os. But in the consumer and bisness world even when switching to arm, I still think windows will dominate cause its what people are just used to and people and especially Business do not like change. I am a pilot so I will use planes as a comparison. Instead of making a new aircraft, Boeing is on the fourth version of the 737 with the max line up, a 60 year old aircraft design that still has hydraulic controls, no ecais system, and a seven step start up practice. Why do airlines buy this aircraft? Because new planes are risky, expensive and require relearning a lot of stuff and training new technicians and pilots as well as making sure all the airports can handle these new aircraft. In this example Microsoft is Boeing and the 737 is Windows. Competition is possible, at the moment Airbus is extremally competitive now and may overtake Boeing. But the max being Boeing's hottest selling plane at the moment shows that sometimes people dont want change. Monopolies dont last forever but windows is defiantly gonna dominate for the next 10-20 years and will still be competitive proably for another 50.

Haha yeah, data tracking is never going away, they would make windows free before they get rid of it since it makes them more money then the os, like Linus said a while ago, windows is so easy to pirate to a point where I think they do it on purpose because they would rather give you free windows then have you use linux because they want the install base and data collection. I think the only reason they still oficially charge for it is because business will never pirate because its to risk then just spend the money that most likely doesn't cost them that much relative to how much they are making. So much software for professionals is easy to pirate, vegas being classic example as it is (or used to be) litterly one file that needs to be added to extend the trial, VMware codes online just work as well. But their largest consumers will always pay because the risk does not justify the savings so why spend money stopping piracy since the people that pirate it wont pay for it anyway. Second I think while they dont care if pc builders like us get windows for free since we are such a small market, most people get windows pre installed with an oem laptop which do pay for licencies, so if it oficially becomes free they may lose the oem money that they actually make money on versus selling licencies direct to consumers which was more popular in the times before i was born when installing Windows yourself was more common and you had to pay to upgrade. (I remember when windows 10 was free and i was shocked when I was 11 because I still had pcs that ran XP because they didn't want to pay for a 7 lisence. I had a windows 8.1 touchscreen laptop and I dont rember hating windows 8 on it but on the desktop it was not as good but honestly it was still useable.)

Honestly if I didn't play games or get used to windows like how I am now (especially since mac os multi Monitor and and window management vs windows snap) I would proably use mac, is more restricted but it usually is less buggy and runs much faster and say what you will about the eco system but it works super well. As for Linux, for regular use, not a fan. It has pretty bad application support and uses the command line for way to much stuff, my server ran ubuntu before windows and it had a lot of problems especially with file sharing which i never got working. As such i just switched to proxmox and gave 75% to windows to run the file server, mc server and plex (it may run better on Linux but it has to be on windows because it shares the same drive as the file server) while the Linux server basicly only was for a vpn (wich i plan to switch to windows but its proving to be hard) and some smart home stuff as well as being a play around and test stuff. To me Linux is ideal for really low end hardware that runs basic tasks or super specialized equipment, I think in some applications Linux is better then some of the windows solutions since it is less customizable and requires more hardware, like ATMs, cash registers, pos, etc. But windows is proably more secure since its more closed. Linux also i think works more large workloads like data centers, even azure runs on Linux now. But for daily use for getting basic tasks and work done windows is better because it just requires less hassle. As for servers like mine, I think it just depends on what you are doing. I had more issues with Linux then Windows but I have also been using windows and mac os since I was five and windows 10 came out when I was 11 and currently I am 18 so I have a lot of experience with it and understand it much better, where as Linux before last year i had only used it in summer courses in middle school.

Main problem is the lack of local accounts on 11, for personal use, using a Microsoft account is better, but for trying to log in with a server, its hard since you cant manually set the username and password to the admin account and its not always your Microsoft password so its just easier with a local account. As for why I am on 11, it's pretty stable now and I personally like the astatic and some of the new features (besides the new right click menu) a lot more then 10, but to me 11 is just like a windows 10 2.0 with some visual changes then a whole new operating System. But honestly I also feel like 8.1 was a like "concept art" of windows 10 since it layed the ground work for a lot of what windows 10 became.
