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.

Funny thing is, I have 2 keyboards and a standalone numpad and one mouse, but one of the keyboards registers itself in the system as keyboard and mouse, because it has mouse moving hotkeys.

So my system literally thinks I have 3 keyboards and 2 mice.

  • I use a split ergo keyboard for typing. (this one has the mouse stuff)
  • A 65% keyboard for gaming (so I have lots of room for the mouse and don't have to change the keybindings for the split one)
  • A numpad off to the left so it doesn't block mouse space, need it for some games and spreadsheets.

After a work day is over I shove the split keyboard under the monitor and pull out the gaming one and place the mouse differently.

People that visit always comment on how weird that is, but it works for me.
