the benefit are absolutely unrelated to privacy, use them with the idea that they’re ran by cops, the point of private trackers is the quality and availability of what’s in them, and most of the time, the quantity, you can find niche stuff uploaded 15 years ago with enough seed to clog your fiber
Calling insignificant and nerdy things like os choice a trait of the master race is openly mocking the concept of a master race by making it ridiculous
professionals are more likely to prefer a locked down easy environment because of it’s lack of variation the same way one would prefer a bare cli debian over a full featured distribution of even windows with all it’s features and trinkets that can eat time away from the main task, mac os is bare and easy like a desk with nothing but a pen and clipboard, pretty bad if you want to fix a ventilator but perfect if you just want to write
do you mean tiling window manager or just window managers in general ?
i3 is the one most people use so you’ll find a truckload of support and documentation about it online, if you wand to be the cool kid try dwm, and if you wand to rise to the top of of c/unixporn get hyprland.
wow, you sperged out quite hard about such a simple problem, I’m glad you will be using windows from now on and won’t be hanging around *nix related discussion platforms
it’s one of those packages that are only put in the repo with the intent on being itself a dependency of the full kde desktop, since it’s a component of the deskop and not just a random theme
Pacman is the most braindead straight to the point package manager of them all, it won’t take you very long to memorize the 3 letters you need to use it.
actually I think the /s completely reversed the joke making it feel like you were mocking the other dude for potentially considering something else than capitalism
msrp is the price that the manufacturer say the card should be sold at, usually it is lower than the actual price depending on the supply and demand and on how much the retailer want/can make on top of the base price
For the chart, it’s readable this way:
the higher ↑ a gpu is on the list , the stronger it is. you can see that being on top of all the others, the amd rx 7900xtx, nvidia rtx 4080 and nvidia rtx 4090 24gb, are the most powerful gpu’s of the chart, the best one of the 3 being the nvidia rtx 4090 since it is above all
you have 3 big columns one for amd, one for nvidia and one for intel.
wen a gpu is on the same horizontal line as another, even across the columns, that means they perform roughly the same.
For example:
the nvidia gtx 1660s that you have is on the same line as the:
amd vega 56, nvidia rtx 3050, nvidia gtx 1660Ti, nvidia gtx 1070Ti and the intel A580
So all of those perform roughly the same, if you go one line above, those the cards on the line will perform slightly better, 2 lines, a little better, 10 lines, much better etc
you can see with the chart that the closest modern amd gpu to your nvidia gtx 1660s is the amd rx 5600xt, but since it’s only one line above the one you have, it is only going to be slightly better than the one you have.
what you should do is open the shop on which you want to buy the card and find the card that is the highest on the list in the amd collumn that you can afford.
one thing to keep in mind is that both brands align with each others in terms of msrp/performance, the differences at the same price-points are very marginal, where the prices go wild is in the manufacturer’s (evga, asus, sapphire…) retail price, so if you have to compare two cards, do it with the msrp of the base models and then try to find a model which is close to it, just make sure the model you pick doesn’t have an habit of blowing up and you’ll be good to go, trying to optimize your choice reading hundreds of benchmarks is a pain that’s won’t net you much.
edit: you might be interested in moore’s law Is dead chart, the dude’s insufferable but the chart is pretty good.
With a bit more digging, you might even start to notice a pattern if all the articles, and realise that most sites you find on search engines are giving you nothing but articles generated through ai based on each other with little to no meaningful difference between each others
