Also… There were significant improvements with intel Sandy bridge (2xxx series) and parent is using an equivalent to that. Sandy+ (op seems to be haswell or ivy bridge) is truly the mark of -does everything-… I’ve only bothered to upgrade because of CPU hungry sim games that eat cores.
besides that linux just doesn’t support my hardware, in all the distros in all the kernels heck even live arch iso there is this weird issue where the pc randomly freezes with those weird screen glitches randomly and the only option to make it work again is force hard reboot
I’m still pushing a ten year old PC with an FX-8350 and a 1060. Works fine.
I didn’t think of my computer as old until I saw your comment with ten years and it’s gpu in the same sentence. When did that happen??
I think I added the 1060 later if that helps :D
Same here!
Genuine curiosity… Why BSD?
