Should be in linux channels by now too.

Sorry Ed... lost both my mom and dad already to cancer. Wasn't ready to let either of them go.

Oh man... loved my 1650 as well... also did 4.7. Also loved my 1680... not as fast but 8 cores. Still have them sitting in cpu cases on display. If I was a gamer... wouldn't have gone 2697. Oh well, the high speed xeons were fun....

josephhunn please stop. Neither do you. Also TheinsanegemerN, lots of us linux users play online games. Modern games. And full Windows games. Linux has come a long way. So has wine which is what allows us to run modern windows apps and games. Unless you both spend several years learning...

Heh, well for one, these are windows games running under linux... so no cross platform issues. And for 2, you don't need steam to have this. HansKristian makes vkd3d-proton, and you can go to his site and manually install it into your wine prefix after installing dxvk as well of course...

And it's updated:

I agree with Mussels above, find an older version of Rufus. Or burn a dvd if you can. Must be people in here with retro builds that know how?

Check your updates... 22000.348 is available now....

At least they are trying. If we pee on anyone trying to break into the market... we are left with amd and nvidia. Which is not good!

Heh, hope it will run on my old S7. Will be a horrible score, but still fun to see none the less!

Heh, turbo button started with XTs. From 4.77mhz to an astonishing 9.54mhz! From what I remember back then, ocing was done by soldering in a new faster crystal.

Make it easy for yourself. Pick one that gives a crap about linux. Airvpn has a single .deb file install, with a full gui interface.

Just remember, every time you change the bus speed, you have to re-enable Turbo. Or you will be dissapointed! Weird little x79 thing..... Also, enable all c states. C6.. all of it, or turbo won't work.

Just put some stank on that 2697! I'm at 112 now but here's mine at 110.

Backports give you access to newer kde versions. 21.10 by default comes with plasma 5.22. Adding backports lets you upgrade to 5.23. Backports are coming from 22.04 which will have 5.23 by default.
