  • Really, no need to. Go AMD when you want to upgrade anyways but don’t throw away a perfectly fine GPU. The difference between AMD and nVidia is that AMD works out of the box and for nvidia you would have to do one click or command to install the driver. That’s it.

    Sure, if you dig deeper it is much more nuanced. But unless you have some unusual use case beyond gaming (which might actually compell you to go nvidia) just stick to what you have.


  • I’d say stick to what you know. So one of the Debian or Ubuntu based distros. Like Ubuntu, Mint or Pop OS.

    Stay away from Valve’s Debian based SteamOS. That is horribly outdated and has nothing to do with what people nowadays mean when they say “SteamOS”. I’m always surprised to learn that it’s still available.

    In the end it doesn’t really matter which distro you choose. All of them should have no problems with running WoW.











  • Just the occasional bug report. I don’t have more to spare. Most I have ever done was to give code for a semi-big new feature back. I had developed it for work and was glad that I got permission to publish the code. Especially when someone fixed a bug in it.

    I also contributed to PHP. That’s the biggest project with my contribution. I also tried to make something for OpenSUSE’s zypper but thanks to Long COVID lack the energy and brain power.
