Thanks so much! I’ll pay it forward :)

I’m super interested in Dishonoured. You’re a pretty cool dude :)

YOUR_VARIABLE=1 %command%

In Steam launch options for a specific game.

So, in this case:

RADV_PERFTEST=nggc %command%

Now this is gaming

I was thinking physics processing. Cloth/soft body sim, smoke/dust and other particle physics, potentially water physics, and so on.

Who do we think is ZLUDA’s new backer? 10 bucks says it’s Valve. Tbh I don’t really believe that myself since Valve has been pretty transparent in its funding, but who else stands to gain as much?

It’s the Dark Souls of installing things on Ubuntu

GPU1 is probably your integrated GPU. Look into how you can force the use of your dedicated GPU.

Tried it, no dice.

Gog sucks nuts on Linux though. It’s such a pain in the ass to get my Gog games working in Lutris that I opted to install Gog Galaxy as a non-Steam game and then install my Gog games through that.

I probably could have phrased that better. Why are the projects that are being funded significant? Apologies.

Can someone give me a rundown on why the projects being funded are significant?

I wouldn’t call it unproductive. We live in an era where things “just work,” and when they don’t then you end up with complications. Would a business switch to Linux if they see that network problems are a possibility? Maybe when they’re looking to upgrade their hardware, but even then they’d have to get their IT department to research hardware that will “just work” with Linux. And after that, they need to find a commercial wholesaler to provide the kit or have the company custom build however many PCs themselves, just so they don’t end up having financial losses due to failed network connections. Would they put Linux on their current hardware? Hell no. Windows is a known quantity and no business is going to risk losses by introducing a potentially risky operating system to their systems/workflow. It is good to point out the issues with the OS so that those issues can be fixed. It’s good to hear the perspectives of the everyman if we want Linux to grow.

That’s what I’ve resorted to but it’s not working as well as the apt package. Freezes often, cloud sync breaks repeatedly.

RIP FreeBSD. Wonder what the “Unknown” ones are though.

Guess I shoulda done more digging lol. Thanks for the help. Btw, do you know much about PECB’s courses? They have some ISO stuff that’s GRC specific, might look into it.

I’ve actually just done a bit of digging on it and it seems that CISSP is used in Canada, so I might pull the trigger on that. I’m also considering Unixguy’s GRC Mastery course. Happen to know anything about it? I don’t think it counts as a certification proper, but it might be good to show employers what I’m interested in and that I’ve already put in some work.

No certs as of current. Trying to figure out if there’s even an entry-level pathway available before I dump more money into education. NIST and ISA: are these international certs or America specific? The latter won’t help me much unless I get a remote job. As for regulations, that should be easy enough. I’m already good at research, so.

Not American, but hopefully someone else can take inspiration from this. I’ll look into help desk positions, thanks for the tip.
