I’ve only been fully on Linux for about 4-5 months, but am yet to experience any issues on Fedora KDE with Wayland. Previously while I was distrohopping I was having a bit of a rough time but since settling on Fedora and with Plasma 6 it has been smooth sailing.

I’m using an AMD 5700X/B550m and RX 6700 XT. Also with two mismatched 1440p displays (different refresh rates).

I agree but I do have a little issue with the “wasting resources” part, that’s a very anthropocentric view to take. There’s an entire ecosystem of organisms that would love to use those resources, and in many cases leaving the carcass behind is better for that system than taking it away and depleting it of that biomass. There’s obviously a lot of “ifs” involved but I wouldn’t generalise by saying that because a human didn’t get to eat it the resource was “wasted”.

It’s unfortunate that our ancestors have left us with this kind of ecological trolley problem, where in order to keep the system balanced and prevent collapse we’re obligated to go out and kill a lot of creatures, but such is the world we’ve inherited.

Really not good enough from AMD. I wonder if Intel wasn’t a complete dumpster fire right now if they would still cut off the fix at Zen 3 (I doubt it). There’s really no reason not to issue a fix for these other than they don’t want to pay the engineers for the time to do it, and they think it won’t cost them any reputational damage.

I hate that every product and company sucks so hard these days.

Crowdstrike bypassed WHQL because the update was not to the driver, it was to a configuration file that then gets ingested by the driver. It’s deliberate so they can push out updates for developing threats without being slowed down by the WHQL process.

And that means when they decide to just send it on a Friday with a buggy config file, nobody is responsible but Crowdstrike.

Not quite true on the second part. It’s primarily Jatco CVTs that are reliability nightmares, and are what is used by Nissan. Subaru make their own CVTs which are widely regarded to be much more reliable.

Pretty much the entire poor reputation of CVTs derives from those shitty Jatcos but the tech itself wasn’t the problem, it was the execution.
