Ah, I see you’re using FartGPT instead of ChatGPT

Cubuntu

I would and I have, but you can’t always blindly trust what it says. It’s better to ask it to explain in detail the code it produces, so you can really learn and also as a safeguard.

It’s Python what ChatGPT has helped me from almost zero prior knowledge, and I’ve managed to create a (probably shitty) script that works with OpenAI’s API, uses classes and functions and can do things like recursively summarizing a text until it’s below a specific token count, among several other things. As time went on, I required less help and I could implement more changes on my own.

I had prior (non-ChatGPT) Bash, PowerShell and BATCH knowledge.

It’s true that ChatGPT has bamboozled me several times with wrong code, but unless it’s something too complex, it get what I need in a few tries. For more complex stuff I have to use smaller more specific queries and in some cases I still Google things, but it’s usually my last resort.

In any case, I frequenly ask ChatGPT for a detailed explanation of what does the code do, mostly because I want to clearly understand what I’m using, and it helps me learn new coding/scripting stuff.

I prefer 1000 times ChatGPT than asking in forums, specially for coding questions.

I can get multiple answers in a minute, multiple replies for the same question and do as many follow up questions as I please without having to wait patiently for an answer.

I still don’t know how I managed to learn PowerShell on my own using Google only.

I hate terminal-based text editors

Nano seems quite user/idiot friendly

Even nuking the system won’t guarantee that I don’t have the same issue with the mouse cursor and the onboad graphics display while using Mesa drivers.

I’d rather simply get the DP-VGA adapter in a future and then try with Mesa.

I started with the proprietary drivers. I mentioned on Lemmy how “crashy” they were and someone recommended the Mesa drivers as they had good performance and stability.

When I tried to install the Mesa drivers, I completely removed AMD’s proprietary drivers first. I got the Mesa drivers to work apparently, but the mouse cursor was only visible on the integrated graphics display, kind of a common issue. After some troubleshooting I finally got the mouse cursor to show on the decicated GPU displays, but then I had no output on the other display. If I got myself a Display Port to VGA adapter I could quit using the dedicated video port, but at the time I don’t have one.

I know about proton. The original L4D runs quite well on Linux and required zero extra set up. However, I was quite disappointed when I tried the original Metro 2033 (not Redux either) with Proton, as it looked quite worse on Linux than on Windows.

Based on what you say, running Last Light with Proton could be interesting, tho.

Even games that work natively on Linux just don’t look as good because of the difference between OpenGL and DirectX.

I’m replaying Metro Last Light (not Redux) on a new PC with dual boot and I’m just playing it from Windows, even when the game (has) native Linux support.

To get the best grahpics I probably could run the Windows version from WINE as I already got Steam to work with it, but AMD’s GPU drivers are unstable on Linux and I couldn’t get the Mesa video drivers to support my MOBO’s integrated video output that I’m currently using for one of my displays.

I usually complicate things while tinkering to get something working in a specific way, but other times I just don’t feel like it.

I have an RT7900 XTX and I just want to get the best possible graphics with it.

“Ewww! Ubuntu!”

We’re gonna need a Lemmy client that can log into multiple accounts at the same time and display a combined feed of allof those accounts…

I was just joking, don’t but much tought into it.

Let’s see if he buys Reddit next…
