Wait, what’s wrong with Home Alone?

[–] jve@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Guess I need to look into benchmarks a little bit more here for 9000 series vice 7000 series.

You figure the 9070 just has that much extra longevity here, or just that much more power?

As for the mobo, to be honest I mostly was just looking at something that seemed like it would fit the case well, but will give those a look.

Really appreciate the distro advice as well. I haven't had a home linux since whatever version of fedora was around like 15 years ago.

I don’t see any info about your use case

hm yeah sure enough.

Looking to do some gaming, but don't really care about it being ultra settings at 100FPS. Mostly single player stuff and do appreciate it looking pretty though.

Also looking to do a bit of dev work. Usually running IntelliJ or whatever other Jetbrains product fits the language I'm working in.

Yeah I don’t need the small case. It’s an aesthetic thing. Could use a medium tower again. Was a little worried about that, and saw another commenter saying they thought it might be too tight. Worth a think.

Thanks for the pointers

Ugh. Worked on me lol

Thanks for the feedback.

Thinking of going with PopOS, as it seems like a good fit with decent dev support out of the box.

FWIW, I'm coming from a lot of experience with MacOS as my primary dev environment, and loads of sshing into various terminal environments.

If you were looking to save costs, where's the first place you look?

I'm looking for something I can set and forget for a bit. Lots of RAM is about the only thing I won't budge on in the build here.

I'd like to be able to do some AAA gaming from time to time, but this is a big upgrade, so I don't expect I'll be sweating any frame rate drops. I spend most of my gaming time in simpler stuff anyway.

I've been slow to make an upgrade, and figure what better time to switch to linux?

Did what I could to try to research that the parts were all fairly linux friendly, with a warning about the motherboard's wifi7 maybe not yet supported yet by the kernel.

Looking for a mid-high range build without going crazy on the cost. Build actually came in a bit cheaper than I expected, so feel like maybe I'm missing something here.

My monitor, which I'm planning to keep, does have G-Sync, but I don't know that I'll miss it.

PS: I know i can get more life out of my old hardware, but I want to turn that into a NAS.

EDIT: Fixed link.

Lifetime Pass Member.. just put on The Devils Advocate (1997) and got a full 30s ad.

… just paused it to verify it was actually in my library… -and got another 2 ads… what the actual fuck? Just me?

EDIT: Looking back at the app, seems I was somehow in Plex Streaming, but how it was put up above my own content I can’t understand, and the movie page does not make it obvious that’s what I’m looking at.
