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.

They really want to kill off the 10x series
And with no real reason. The 1080 Ti in my machine runs better than a 4060 I tested some time ago (the only thing changed was the graphics card).
The real reason is planned obsolescence. Your old GPU working is bad for NVidia because it means you're not buying a new one from them.
Exactly. This is what I mean with “with no real reason”. It is a completely made-up reason just because I don’t make them any money.
I know it's a generation later but the 1660ti I bought secondhand just before the pandemic is also working like a beast. If I had a lot of disposable income maybe I would've upgraded but it's performing so good that I'd rather spend the 1500+ bucks on a different project like a NAS for jellyfin.
Mine already died from old age. Gave me 9 years of use. I am not even mad that it died. lol
