I mean yeah. I mean wtf.

I mean, if I install something compiling from source, I would not expect anyone else to manage it, right? I mean why would anyone expect that flatpak snap etc. all get managed automatically, they even forget how they installed something, it is so ridiculous.

Well I did, but the community in Lemmy is suffocatingly left leaning for me. So I had to go back to Reddit for fresh air. (Never have I thought I'd go back to Reddit because some other community is even more left, but here we are.)

Yeah. But if I ever want or need a Chromium browser, it may be the one.

Manjaro is a really good distro to start with. It has very nice defaults including the correct zsh plugins. Should make your transition to Arch whenever the time comes very smooth. It does have a bad reputation because they don't seem to manage it well (e.g. keys keep expiring), and the said defaults are implemented in a very hacky way (if you see the code). Also they follow a delayed release which is really unnecessary given Arch is stable already; and in fact the delay can cause issues if you use AUR (which you will, eventually discover and learn about and love).

As SSD is getting cheaper, I find myself keep thinking that I should buy a bigger one.

But this isn't really a decision based on actual need - and I can tell my mind is playing tricks to convince me that "you need to get it because what if you want to install a lot of large games".

I'm thinking may be a reasonable criteria instead is to see my current utilization, and buy one only if the utilization exceeds a percentage - say ">80% disk util=> buy a new one" as a rule?

What is your criteria to get a bigger disk?

3090 or 4090 (lemm.ee)

I have an RTX 2080ti.

I still play in 1080p 60Hz, and the 2080 is plenty. But I'm looking to train some ML models, and the 11GB VRAM is limiting for that.

Thus, I plan to buy a new one. Also I don't want a ML only GPU since I don't want to maintain two GPUs.

Since I'm upgrading, I need to think of future compatibility. At some point I will move to at least 2k, although still I'm not bought into 4k as any perceivable benefit.

Given all these, I wanted to check with folks who have either card, should I consider 4090?
