From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Gaming on Linux, - (lemmy.ml)

I know im not the only one, trying to get gaming on linux, but im different 😀 I am hooked on Flightgear, (the flight gear group on lemmy seems dead) but im right now playing it (still as a novice) on my Lenovo T470 with Fedora. So well its running okay, but the graphics, especially the suroundings just dosnt look like wheni see thoese vids online about flightgear. So i was wondering, and dreaming about a desktop PC, running linux, that is capable of delevering better graphics in Flightgear.i dont know anything about building a pc, but do you have a recommended setup of all hardware i schould get, and software, to get Flightgear up and running more beautyfull? Im also considdering of using steam as a gameshop. Im such a noob, that i would prefer exsact list of what hardware i schould use. Btw i would like to build my own pc, because im not a fan of thoese gamercomputers with all the colourrd light insight.

You're just contradicting yourself again.

I was making a point, which I don't think you see just yet. AMD and NVIDIA have their purposes, which is what I was attempting to point out.

Their point is how do you know amd is worse for video editing/Ai when you haven't used AMD for those things, only Nvidia.

[–] mugita_sokiovt@discuss.online 1 points 2 days ago

AMD doesn't have the capability for AI necessarily due to CUDA requirements (though ROCm might fix some of that), and for video editing, my best educated guess has to do with graphically-intensive transitions and what not made in things like Natron (an AfterEffects alternative).

You're correct, I don't see the point.
