Yeah I would honestly, not sure if they're going to do some further iterations of the Vega architecture and put new cards out this year. Really really hope they can step it up again and do to Nvidia what they've done to Intel. Think they might have given up on the higher end for the moment and are focusing more on SoCs for consoles though.
Yeah, getting Nvidia Optimus to function properly is a pain in Linux. Bumblebee was a decent workaround but with all the command line involved it's way too complicated for non tech oriented people.
That was about 2-3 years ago. Not sure if the situation has improved in the meantime.

Given AMD's current work, it's a real pity Valve fucked their Steam Machine stuff so badly. A load of decent, reasonably priced console like PCs running Linux would have pushed more developers to support it and really given Microsoft and Nvidia the kick in the arse they need.
How do I move a Steam library from one drive to another? I have an SSD and an HDD in my laptop, and Steam has decided to use the former. It's getting kinda full already*, so I'd like to move to the latter. I know I could Google this but I'd trust you guys to know as much as a random search result, and be less likely to accidentally get me to hose my machine. (Windows is installed on the SSD.)
*Seriously, the Wolfenstein II demo would take up all the room I have left.

I think I just dragged the whole directory into the new drive and then set Steam to the new one. Can't remember the finer details but I don't think it was hard to do.
Apparently due to new bugs discovered in intel SoC's ms has patched windows10 accordingly.
Patches which have now disabled the nVidia gpu in my notebook for now.
Really?
Ffs MS! I'm trying to reinstall nVidia drivers atm to see if I can solve the issue but I have a nagging suspision it'll be futile.

Scrubbed the old driver with ddu and reinstalled the gpu via windows update.
Seems to have done the trick and everything is running normal again. Phew, here I was thinking of having to reinstall windows all over again.
For god's sake ms, stop trying to murder my pc!

I think I've had summat done to mine too. Shutdown the machine this morning, restarted and it's throwing startup errors at me and won't get past all the recovery/repair options. Was there an update yesterday evening?
On with the fucking chkdisk and media tool repair bollocks, wooo.
Dammit I have dinosaurs to shoot in the face and raid the corpses of.
Hmm I seem to be on the latest updates, and I'm all good currently.. Hope it's not too much of a pain to sort out Brooks.
I've had these sorts of errors before, I overclock and fiddle with stuff in my BIOS a bit, but sometimes it seems like just restarting a few times + cold boots and such can sort out these strange issues weirdly.
For people running nVidia having problems with the latest 1803 windows updates experiencing flicker and weird sudden black screens, reinstalling the gpu driver fixes the issue. Be sure to scrub the old one out first if issues persist and just to be sure.
So Windows Defender decided to isolate and quarantaine a cryptominer hidden within my windows install.
This might explain my recent Optimus woes and why my system was running hotter than usual. The nvidia gpu getting hijacked (for cryptomining) might've been the issue.
Seriously, fuck this shit. I'm reasonably careful when downloading stuff but somehow this slipped by (through?) windows defender. Ftr, I blame my girlfriend for wanting me to dl Crazy Rich Asians

I could understand it during a full scan. This was all the time, no matter what was happening.
I'm switching to Linux on my work PC as soon as I get the time; MS have totally shit the bed with Win 10 as far as serious use goes. Can't comment on it for gaming, since I haven't started my gaming machine up for so long and last time I didn't get to do anything because it spent all the time installing updates.
Yeah, but at least tinyBuild and DoubleDutch finally got a proper amount of money from me for Speedrunners (rather than the pennies they would have gotten when I originally received it as part of a bundle) because I just bought it on PS4 instead.
The worst thing about the updates is that it doesn't tell you it's doing it and you can spend ages wondering what the fuck is wrong. I've realised now that whenever my pc is acting up it's probably a Windows update going on.
