And I thank you, Norah. As an Asian woman, any Linux space can feel pretty unwelcoming sometimes. Most of the time it's the sexism, but this insistence on saying "ricing" is just another reminder that many in this space enjoy a bit of racism on the side, too.

I don't usually say anything; I'm personally too afraid of being dragged into an endless "debate". Perhaps a bit cowardly on my part. So, I appreciate you pointing it out first.

It's still racist when you make it an acronym. We know the term originally came from a racist term for Asian vehicles.

Very nice! I wish I could use an AMD GPU, but sadly machine learning keeps me on the CUDA platform. Gotta make a living. That said, recent NVIDIA drivers got better on Linux. I can finally use Wayland problem free now. Games on proton also work just fine.

However, this only works well on Arch, BTW. Really wish I could just use Debian. I'm a computer scientist, but I also get tired of an avalanche of software updates every couple of days; I don't need all the latest and greatest software. My German internet commection also means I wait up to half an hour sometimes.

Machine learning pays my bills, and I never had a choice on my graphics card brand. To be sure, I wanted an AMD for the open source drivers, but CUDA remains essential to me. RocM support from AMD is a joke, and isn't anywhere close to an alternative. Reseachers release code that only runs on CUDA for a good reason. To say that I don't get to complain is going too far
