Whoops: either I fucked up or the AP updated. 3500 barrels of oil. 147,000 gallons (556,455L)

Just under a quarter of an Olympic pool.

Practice!

Gotta drink more so you can drink more. Then you'll find your groove and see that a few beers is just the spice driving needed!

I'm sure Gene will be racing this weekend with a big smile on his face. With the F1 team or the NASCAR team. Of course, he can't attend the F1 races outside of the US in person on account of his felon status.

As the sole shareholder of the company, every job cut is directly on him.

I see what you did there.

The other commenter is giving good advice, but I think they're knee-jerking a bit hard on the arch base. I presented 3 gaming oriented distributions. All have guardrails. All are opinionated. All are fully featured, user-friendly experiences.

Yes, arch (by itself) is a bad idea as a solution, but so is gentoo, and so is Debian testing.

I believe the issues they're so concerned about actually apply to every rolling release distro like the others, but it's the only way you're going to get OOTB support for the 9700xt until the major release distributions catch up.

Linux users have strong feelings and often let perfect at any expense get in the way of good enough and cheap. This is a demonstrably negative experience for new users.

I knew that would happen.

FWIW, there are many arch-based distros with a lot of handholding. Heck, garuda has built in btrfs snapshots on update. I believe OP would have an easier time using garuda than setting up all the other things necessary to make other plain rolling release distributions work.

To OP, raw arch is definitely not for newbies. Don't try to install arch to fix your issue.

Lol, this stooge needs an entourage so people recognize how important he feels to himself.

What a weird little guy.

Hey friend, looks like you might be spinning your wheels yet.

You have two options to get driver support for the 9070:

• manually update the Linux kernel in mint/pop to 6.13
• install a distro that has 6.13 by default

Here's a mint thread talking about it, pop os will be the same.

That said, I can't in good conscience recommend the manual route for a Linux newbie, so strongly consider a fedora or arch based distro.

If gaming is your primary use case, the ones with tons of gaming apps and tweaks built in are Bazzite (based on fedora atomic), nobara (based on fedora), and garuda "Dr460nized" gaming (Based on Arch)

This is the right answer. You need a fresher kernel. 6.12 or 6.13.

If gaming is your core use case, check out bazzite, nobara, or garuda to get many of the goodies baked in.

I hope you specified that the sandwich is made with only domestic products!
