  • AMD Ryzen 7000 vs 9000 isn’t a huge difference iirc, mostly more efficient. The X3D variants are definitely worth it for gaming performance though, so I’d wait for the 9000 X3D reviews to compare.

    32GBs is plenty of RAM for now, 64GB is overkill for gaming purposes. I don’t use 100% of my RAM ever and that’s with Discord and a bunch of browser tabs open while playing Cyberpunk or heavily modded Minecraft.

    For the GPU, I currently use a 7900 XTX and haven’t had issues running that with Manjaro Linux. Haven’t used an Nvidia GPU with Linux, but from what I can tell their support was/is dubious but improving.







  • Also note that 100km is the minimum height to be “in space”, not the minimum height for achieving orbit.

    That doesn’t really mean anything. You could achieve an orbit at a lower altitude if you wanted to, it would decay faster, but you could do it. The 100km karman line is an arbitrary thing, there is no solid line where on one side you can orbit and on the other side you can’t.

    I agree; the comment I was replying to seemed to imply that there was a minimum height requirement, or height by itself equaled orbit. But that’s just my interpretation of it.

    Well this seems like a bad semantic argument to me.

    Maybe it is, but personally I prefer to see the result 100% finished. I am very impressed by the booster catch, and the non-stop camera feed on Starship was awesome, but I would like to see a full mission before saying that they reached orbit. And to me, demonstrating capability usually means doing it.
