Ubuntu LTS releases (and so derivatives too) to get updated NVIDIA drivers without PPAs

Quoting: 14
Quoting: ArehandoroGreat move. I hope Debian does a similar thing adding upstream or more up to date Mesa/Kernels too.
Not Debian Stable, surely? Debian aims for stability. Not every distro aims for the same goals.

I'm really happy to see Ubuntu and Nvidia making this change. It will be fantastic for those that don't want a rolling release distro but also want decent gaming without unnecessary hassle.
Yes, of course, it would have to be Testing or sid.

I don't need a new game right now. I don't want to buy another title.

Yet for the effort, and an act of good faith with the developer, I WILL BUY IT.

Meh. The first nine seasons were great, but after that it really went downhill.
I haven't watched it in ages, probably since that 9th or even earlier. I guess it was around the same time The Simpsons went downhill as well. Even the new that got released on Netflix is quite 'meh' as well.
Actually, I was vague-from-memory quoting something someone in Futurama said about the hypnotoad TV show/channel itself. Since all it ever did was sit there doing that thing with its eyes it's hard to see how the quality could actually change, so now I've gone and lamely explained the joke.
Aaahhh at least you didn't publicly show how bad you are at getting jokes... :D:whistle:

Will Disney's new streaming service also offer games from their catalogue? Or is this only some stupid move from Disney (as usual)?

I had some of them in my wishlist, but no intention to buy them right now, so once are gone I will refer back to the more obscure means of getting them.

AMD have today released the Radeon RX 5700 series GPUs and the Ryzen 3000 series CPUs

I think will wait for the Q3 to save some money and buy a combo of X570/3700/5700. This time I even might go back to full ATX again.

Awesome!

I found myself upgrading 3 home servers last night till pretty late in the morning xD no issues found except with my mail server after the update to dovecot 2.3 but a quick search and some documentation reading solved it :)

I really wish Steam chooses Debian for their main supported distro. It is true it needs a website revamp (which there are talks and work towards it if I understood correctly in one email from the mailing list not long ago), modernisation of their pipeline tools (also believe was mentioned by the new lead of the project) and overall a repository with more up to date kernels/graphic drivers to get the most advanced features for gaming hardware. But, no distro is perfect, and Debian and derivatives it’s the most used, making easier finding answers for problems, tested in a huge amount of different hardware and not so new hardware (this is important for gaming if we look at Steam’s survey) and pretty rock solid.

Anyway, thanks to everyone that works in Debian (1330 people), I’m happy to continue supporting the distro economically when possible and with some other help when more knowledgeable.

Cheers!
