| I'm playing the newest games on ddr3 with a 2080 and a 4790k. It's a simple life. |

| Some might call this a boomer build but the 4790k is an absolute beast of a CPU and still holds up. |

| ▲ | arjie an hour ago | parent [-] | | I recently booted up an old 4790k system and it was fine on Linux but on Windows it would nag me to update but apparently the CPU is too old for new Windows. I ended up giving it away on the Internet to whomever could pick up but afterwards it ended up with one of those reseller chaps. Ah well, I wish it had made to some kid somewhere. | | |
| ▲ | functionmouse an hour ago | parent | next [-] | | That makes sense. I'm on Windows 10 LTSC so I don't get nags and scare screens from Microsoft as much as a regular machine might. | |

It is the reason why I'm now happily running Xubuntu on the same machine. I did end up installing a Windows 11 VM (VirtualBox) which works perfectly fine running as a guest under Xubuntu on a 4790k (screw you Microsoft). But I otherwise never want go back to Windows as a daily driver. The enshittification just got too much for me. |

| I played 100+ hours of RDR2 on a 2060 (non-super), as was the style at the time. When the 30 series came out, I sold that card for more than I paid for it. |
