Your 5. is not wrong though. My first printer was a used Ender 3 v2 that I modified and tuned quite a bit until I was finally tired of issues with the bowden extruder and got myself an Ender 3 S1 Pro. In hindsight, I should have purchased the S1 Pro in the first place, but the v2 did teach me valuable lessons, even though I quite probably spent more time fixing and tuning the thing than enjoying successful prints.

The S1 Pro ended up accumulating a lot of dust over my two years of ownership and I now own a Qidi Q2. That one has its own set of issues and design flaws, but their support is okay and for what it costs, it can print an astonishing variety of materials with good to great quality.

Thanks for picking this instance, guys.

No, thank you for providing it!

Skeiro ded?

Still is.

It baffles me how a lot of people in the Linux bubble are simultaneously massive gatekeepers and annoyed when Windows people don't love Linux. A lot of replies to my comment is essentially "Well, this distro is not for noobs. Have you tried not being an idiot?" They don't realize how condescending and arrogant they sound. I didn't take computer science classes at university, and I shouldn't have to in order to be able to use an operating system that is not Windows, but doesn't take more time solving problems than doing the stuff that I actually purchased my hardware for.

Paru, aur and yay came up when I did some googling. I was left even more confused.

Me neither.

Maybe they wanna let some time pass by so the RDNA 4 guys aren't salty. Quite a few of them have probably done what I'd consider a sidegrade, just to get FSR 4.

The only plausible explanation for withholding FSR 4 INT8 is that AMD wants to push RDNA 2 and RDNA 3 owners toward upgrading to RDNA 4. If that's the strategy, it's a poor one.

That explanation would make sense if we could still assume that AMD is interested in selling GPUs to gamers in the mid-to-far-future. Since they'd rather use pretty much all the capacity they have at TSMC to produce high-margin AI accelerator chips, that explanation doesn't really make sense. I'm glad I took the opportunity to get the fastest AM4 chip, double my RAM to 32 GB and get myself a discounted RX 7900 XT with an aftermarket waterblock.

The way things are going, this may turn out to be my final gaming rig. I have other hobbies I can blow my money on. That equipment also tends to last longer and age better.
