  • I agree with this. I’m using a 1070ti for image gen and it would be more than capable for handling some LLM stuff. An AMD 7700xt ive found dors well with 7B models on my main rig but im sure you could get away with somthing cheaper or less powerful.

    That said, the amount of text you can genrate or the context length of its answers will depend the model you use and the larger the model, the more power it takes.

    If youre just messing around with it or want it to review or answer small questions, I’d say a 1070ti like I’m using would be just fine. Some folks use even more budget friendly options. If you got a gaming machine with any semi recent GPU, I’d say go for it. Worst case, you can pay for a subscription later if you really want.











  • Preach my brother.

    I’m almost 30 and i 100% agree. Friends and family thought i was gay because i guess dont fit the normal “male” shit that everyone seems to assume you need to be male.

    I like art and music amd cute things like cat bowls with cat ears.

    But i also like to build things like my desk and work outside with my hands and fix things like when my girlfriends parents had thier washing machine break. Loved fixing that.

    Early on into our relationship, my girlfriend saw me cry and didn’t say shit about me not being a man or being weak or whatever garbage people code to “men”. She was just there for me. Sat and listened.

    So to answer OP, i agree with Scrubbles, find someone you wanna spend time with. The woman you describe absolutely exists but theres also a chance that you find someone completely different and that’s ok.




  • I will have to give this a go then on Fedora because i would rather not reinstall for a third time since switching lol. I appreciate the advice.

    When i last checked, the copr for yabridge was out of date but i was looking at this months ago and its also entirely possible i was looking in the wrong place or was reading information that was out of date.

    Again, very much appreciate the help. Linux is still a new thing for me so any help is always welcome.


  • I have looked at Fedora jam, my issue with it is the same issue I currently have with no way to use yabridge that I could find though this may have chnaged since i last looked.

    AV linux does look promising, just haven’t deep dived on it yet. My concern was that its done by a single dev iirc but again i haven’t done a deep dive quite yet.

    And also a huge fan of reaper. Been using it for years now and I love it so very solid recommendations. I appreciate it. :)


  • Welcome brother.

    Yea I switched from Windows to Fedora and aside from issues with music production, I have been happy with the switch. Its a weight off my mind knowing i dont have to worry about Windows stealing my data anymore.

    I’m probably going to be switching to Ubuntu or something Ubuntu based since it seems it will be a bit easier to work with for making music. Not that Fedora hasnt been great in general but i think my specific needs like having yabridge for Windows vsts is making me consider switching.



  • My advice is start slow and dont hurt yourself in the name of fitness. Its better to take a day off if your legs really hurt so that your body has time to heal rather than “work through the pain”.

    And eat enough to fuel the new cardio. Doesnt do you much good if you arent giving your body enough to work with. If your trying to lose weight, slight calorie deficit of about 200 calories is typically recommended.

    And listen to some music that pumps you up! Always made me love running. Good luck! You got this :)
