That includes posts generated by LLMs. It doesn’t matter if you “don’t have the time” or “would’ve written the same anyway”, or if “everyone’s doing it geez get with the times”.

For now it’ll also include “AI”-assisted projects that haven't had at least two months of (public, verifiable) dev time behind them.

I finally gave up my Nvidia 2070 Super and rejoined Team red with a 9070 XT. And it's like this is the way everything was always meant to be.

HDR works without breaking font rendering. Sleep states just work. No more random border flickering in fullscreen or borderless windows. And the fans never even spin up.

I did have to unwind a couple Nvidia workarounds to swap over successfully (like /etc/environment needed cleaning up for sddm-greeter-qt to not core dump).

No ragrets.

No regerts.

Team red 4lyfe (again).

I never liked Nvidia. Their software felt overbearing and intrusive even in the early days. And their hardware lacked elegance, they just always threw more power at their chips. I'm not suprised by anything they've done, from the complete pivot to AI chips to the complete lack of reasonable Linux support to this very day. It's not that AMD are angels, but Nvidia was always very clearly an asshole company, laser focused on short term profits over anything else.
