Could be. :think: I've heard AMD plays nicer with Linux I think. :think: Although, so far, with the RTX 4070, my friend has zero problems.

Heh, I was just thinking about the last time I ran Fedora. I just realized Fedora 2 was just released when I first installed it. :lol:
I recall choosing the SELinux kernel. I'm also remembering that the Dell that I ran it on had some stupid issue with its display drivers. It would manifest in the same way on both Linux and XP. If you displayed a folder in the file manager and it had many photos in them, it would crash if you had thumbnails set to show. The fix was the same for both too. lower the color depth to 16 bit. It was built-in Intel graphics of some sort that had MAX 24-bit colors.... I think I switched to Kubuntu when 8.04 (also had gotten a newer machine) was released. I fell in love with KDE 3.x. It's never been the same since. :sad:

So, I'm almost positive I ran Fedora 2 through 8. I didn't realize it's been that long ago.

Geez, that old Dell had a Pentium 3 in it. I recall I had bought a Pentium 4 eMachines model. That eMachines sounded like a Jet was taking off when it was running. :lol: I think those Prescott CPUs were jokingly called Press-hots.

Ah, you mean the URL address becomes like https://page/40... and basically not a real URL, error? I think I know why. It's when you press the last comment on a thread to open it, then you hit the page buttons to go to a different page. This is how I get it sometimes, that seems a bug there, but if you get it any other time, if you can please see what steps you took, would be helpful to solve it. I did a SEO friendly URL thingy so some sections a bit buggy but overall, it will help the page ranking greatly. NOT THAT WE HAVE ANY MEMBERS OTHER THAN THE TWO OF US. :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :roll: :roll: :roll: :cry: :cry: :cry: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Sorry for downtime. :oops: Moved it to Manjaro Linux. Fucking Fedora. It's day and night difference between these two, Manjaro is VERY VERY FAST AND SMOOTH. My God! :clap: :clap: :clap:

Sorry for downtime again. Fucking Cloudflare! :silent: :silent: :silent: If you change tunnel name, it doesn't remind you OR EVEN TELL YOU to go into DNS settings and edit the CNAME to the new tunnel ID! IDIOTS! Been looking left and right what is the problem, nothing online, no help documentation, not even A.I. knew this! :roll: :roll: :roll: I saw some very obscure Reddit poster mention something about CNAME and randomly checked and there it was. :shifty: :shifty: :shifty:

Anyway, running on Manjaro now. MUCH faster. Feels lighter, smoother overall. It doesn't come with SELinux, which is at first worrisome but then I got reminded, FUCK SUCH THINGS. That SELinux gives me bad bad Windows vibes I tell you! Like the UAC junk, it is creeping into Linux slowly.

Super slow upstream, I don't know why. ISP problems I think. :sick: :sick: :sick: Tele2 in Europe is really shitty in my opinion, very often some crap with them but there isn't much other options where the website is hosted right now. :oops:
