I am now officially a turbo nerd. I should apologise to that one Linux guy my friends and I all made fun of in high school

I was going to try dual-booting anyway later this year once Microsoft takes Windows 10 behind the shed and forces Windows 11 on all of us, but the push for pulling the trigger now ended up being my recent post musing about AI. I was informed AI image generation is actually pretty doable on consumer-grade PCs these days and I wanted to mess around with it but it turns out that AMD GPUs + Windows sucks for anything AI. After not getting anywhere with ComfyUI-Zluda, I went out and grabbed a cheap SSD drive and installed Linux Mint on it. Not sure if I'll get anywhere with image generation with Linux either since my GPU isn't that great regardless, but the important bit is getting Linux experience

I'm currently setting up my programs and I really like the feeling of Mint so far, very reminiscent of Windows back when it didn't suck ass

What's the story on that image? It's an antique that I've seen for decades, never found out who that guy is or what he was up to

All unknown. Rad setup, tho.
