Results as expected.

Just ordered the AMD Radeon VII and a water block (discontinued card and water block for the card (found them cheaper then last month)) for it and will soon pick up a 3950x etc. to build a Linux box for Blender and DaVinci Resolve. Don't think I will even bother with a windows install.

I did not read through the complete report but. did follow the link to Walmart. A price of $279 came up.

I don't know about Ubuntu 20 but I have previously put Linux Ubuntu versions on very small or old laptops up to 20 years old bought at swap meets or garage sales for a few dollars. They have without fail outperformed residual orphaned Windows systems appropriate to the machines.

I am currently running a $50. 4 core Linux box built from parts from the state surplus centre. I often build Linux boxes and give them to students.

@NoMagicCookie I wish that we had the same facilities. Sadly Gate's marketing utterly resulted in Australian subjugation to Microsoft and its piracy.

@NoMagicCookie I can't even give old machines away _ that's how lazy and stupid local schools and teachers are.

@NoMagicCookie these days I simply use android phones and have taken possession of a Blackview A80 64 GB 4Gb octacore that cost me about $US75.

@FrayedBear The school I work for is primarily a Mac work station and Chromebook with a sprinkling of windows. In the old days I used linux for DNS but that is now run on a windows box. Most of my servers (at school) are os-x.

@NoMagicCookie Delighted to learn that you are not like my local lot. 👍🙏

Posted by FrayedBearAnyone using Android 12? Are you having problems with the Gmail app no longer working along with the PlayStore?

Posted by ScubaWagsWow, Windows 11 will have tiling windows. No one has ever done that before...

Posted by ScubaWagsThis made me giggle

Posted by OldMetalHeadThis is quite interesting. I knew Ubuntu would be high, but I honestly didn't expect it to be that high.

Posted by ScubaWagsApparently it's penguin awareness day today... I assume that must include Tux
