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.

A+ timing, I'm upgrading from a 1050ti to a 7800XT in a couple weeks! I don't care too much for "ai" stuff in general but hey, an extra thing to fuck around with for no extra cost is fun.
This is not about normal GPUs but these dedicated AI chips
I'm a bit confused, the information isn't very clear, but I think this might not apply to typical consumer hardware, but rather specialized CPUs and GPUs?
Shows how much I read articles ig
