Fair enough, I just want to keep my Hardware running, do i have any options(besides getting new hardware).

I am willing to begin from scratch, any proper resources you can point me to? l

the price of a new vulkan capable graphics card is $300-400

Do you think I would have any motivation to embark on such a ( admittedly Useless)project if i had that kind of money lying around to spend on a GPU.

that looks like something opposite to what i want Vulkan -> OpenGl, instead of something like OpenGl -> Vulkan

C/whoosh

Then thats where you draw the line!

But who or what’s standing on the other side?

You decide not to feed it because it’s not your dog - it’s not your problem. But your whole house is completely stocked with food. You throw out large amounts of table scraps and leftovers daily.

How many people would consider that to be evil?

Internally the person can justify his actions “You feed a stray dog one time, it will nag you forever, maybe call up his buddies because there is free food, and now suddenly you have a pack of stray dogs on your farm that are causing all sorts of trouble”. Such nuances are always present(I will stop with the dog analogy, because your original example and my addendum, dehumanizes people in need to dogs). but such is the harsh reality, that often arises with a direct personal transfer of wealth, people tend to form a dependency on the table scraps and those that provide them(even though they are losing literally nothing) resent it.

The solution you may ask to greedy billionaires and hungry homeless people, SOCIETAL or GOVERNMENTAL INTERVENTION, think about it, its the failure of whoever the fuck is in charge that a select few of their citizens have exploited the system so well that their wastage is equivalent to the GDP of a small country, and similarly there are many people that only dream of a roof over their heads!!

there are gnome extensions but they were installed over a year ago and have been disabled for more than 6 months

grep: /var/log/syslog*: No such file or directory

I am getting this error but yes there were some JS errors that I attribute to extensions like

What about dmesg? if it’s a hardware problem (and it looks like, but I may wrong) dmesg will print some usefull data

I tried sysrq then, now i know why it didn’t work sysrq: This sysrq operation is disabled.

nothing useful in dmesg, at least to me

LightDM last stable release was 2 years ago, are there any other options available?? going through journalctl entries these seem to popout to me Vulkan: ../src/amd/vulkan/radv_physical_device.c:1984: Device '/dev/dri/renderD128' is not using the AMDGPU kernel driver: Invalid argument (VK_ERROR_INCOMPATIBLE_DRIVER)

I agree with your general point but I don’t agree with your example because apprenticeship can still lead to stable employment and a fulfilling life

nice antimeme

I mean he has accepted a position as a luminary at the x86 ecosystem advisory group the most dominant and proprietary instruction set ever formed by companies with vested interest to keeping it in use and prevent competition (RISC-V & ARM) from catching up.

Nothing is devoid of global politics.

Russian maintainers were unceremoniously kicked out citing compliance issues.

RISK-V and ASML have been targeted by them in the past to prevent Chinese use.

reading the broad points regarding RISC-V, I think my worst case scenario is apparently just the present day.

but then the project loses momentum, the userbase fragments, opensource projects are fragile as they are mostly volunteer work; I guess the discussion of government threat and overreach towards opensource projects is mostly discussed in the context of cryptocurrencies and other ‘disruptive’ software
