From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Here I thought I had been insanely smart to buy a GPU from 2010 for $10 since the CPU is going to do all the encoding anyway. And because my previous card, a honking 3080, wouldn't have allowed for the other two capture cards to be installed, taking up all the real estate.

I have been trying to setup an Artix system on my own for two hours now, but GRUB won't install in CSM mode... I've tried UEFI on GPT, BIOS on MBR, BIOS on GPT... πŸ˜… Boot partition with and without file system... πŸ’€

I'll just buy a more modern yet slim card, I guess? Unless I wake up tomorrow and give researching the issue a chance.

Nice! :D Mind sharing the model number? :D

Yeah I have a RX 7600. It wasn't brand new, but lightly used, bought it off a friend who upgraded. Paid around $200 for it, so I think a pretty good deal with current pricing.

Oooh! That is a nice deal! It wouldn't fit in this rig though, maximum thickness is 40 mm because the two capture cards "surround" it... πŸ˜…

I think the one I have is 41mm, so that would be a tight fit. Can't you rearrange the cards a bit to make some room? With only 40mm that would be hard to fit in any modern card.

The MOBO's expansion card sockets are placed in such a way, that I'd have to get an ATX chassi to be absolutely sure. 🫠 Anyway, I'm trying out an ASUS GeForce GT 1030 silent tomorrow to start with.
