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.

eGPU docks? (programming.dev)

Hi all,

Just wondering how progress is on eGPU docks? I want to upgrade my GPU at some point and thought it might be cool to put it in a dock and connect it to a laptop. The laptop has a couple thunderbolt ports.

How's compatibility these days?

Hmm, that doesn't sound great. Can I ask what laptop you were using and which distro?

I'm using the Surface Laptop Studio with EndeavourOS (basically arch, so I have all the latest packages)--the performance issues stem from Nvidia's drivers, so AMD should not suffer from the same problems, although I don't have any AMD cards to test if hotplug with monitors is functional
