nobody expects the ottoman Inquisition

Wait really? I use (((triple parentheses))) quite often to indicate sarcastic emphasis on a word. Damn racists ruining my punctuation >:(

Nouveau is dead, it's been replaced with Zink on NVK.

True, but there are also some legitimate applications for 100s of gigabytes of RAM. I've been working on a thing for processing historical OpenStreetMap data and it is quite a few orders of magnitude faster to fill the database by loading the 300GiB or so of point data into memory, sorting it in memory, and then partitioning and compressing it into pre-sorted table files which RocksDB can ingest directly without additional processing. I had to get 24x16GiB of RAM in order to do that, though.

A Quiet Place (but with farts)

In my experience, nouveau is painfully slow and crashes constantly to the point of being virtually unusable for anything. The developers agree, as in the last couple months nouveau has been phased out of Mesa entirely. More recent Mesa versions now implement OpenGL on Nvidia using Zink on NVK, and the result is quite a bit faster and FAR more stable.

If your distribution currently still ships a Mesa version which uses nouveau, I would personally recommend you just stick with the Intel graphics for now.

Based on that plus the various other mistakes, my guess is that OP's native language isn't English, but probably one of the many languages which uses masculine pronouns as gender-neutral, and they're just doing a literal translation from their native language.

one must imagine sisyphus gaming

I wouldn't ever criticize women for being wary of men by default, but I would criticize someone for comparing me (and all other men) to fucking Musk. There is a difference between saying "enough men are dangerous that I should assume they're always a threat" and "all men are the same as one of the most despicable people of our time".

what a horrible day to have eyes

And linux has io_uring which can handle millions of syscalls from a single thread without breaking a sweat. In my experience, I/O on Windows is just really slow, every file operation takes 10s to 100s of times longer than on any Unix-like kernel (1000s if windows defender is enabled)

The cab breaks off and he plummets to his death?
