MX Linux Forum

I think that Microsoft and Apple were evil initiates for creating and pushing the concept that end users are licensees and not true owners of hardware and software. Google rapidly became evil by embracing and extending the notion that users' data is their data. I see Microsoft and Google as equal o...

Thanks for the input! And yeah.. I like my stuff to last as well. Not into overclocking either here. Pretty much the same way of thinking as you do :) Do you have the standard CPU cooler that came with the Ryzen 2600? Or? How are the temps on that CPU? I'm using the stock cooler, which is the small...

Microsoft keeps cozening up to Linux. I'm curious what their end game may be. I'm thinking that they might be considering getting out of the operating system business in favour of selling their other products as services.

Er, I'll go with boring for a bit thanks

Exactly. Boring. Job done.

Lol. Love the way this topic is heading. I want an MX pyramid hat. For the MX veterans, Is there anything in the MX package installer that can repair my DNA, and should me PC be facing north, south, east or west? Seriously, after a couple of rocky patches likely caused by something iffy in my old PC...

Given that all of my problems in life seem to trace back to my Nvidia card, I was thinking about an RX 580. They seems to have some great price reductions and should have a bit more oomph than a 1050 Ti. A fair bit more power consumed, if that's important.
