Yeah - I’m kind of surprised how well it IS working! Compiling a fairly large C++ codebase (scummvm) takes about a minute longer in linux than on mac, Though there may be differences between clang and gcc there too.
That said, it’s a bit of a toy at the moment. I still have my MacOS partition for work stuff or if I want to take advantage of the crazy battery-life.
The only Linux system I’ve got where I bothered to install and alter the GUI in any way. Some day I’ll blow it away and install Rocky 9.x
Upgrade to centos 8, then use the migration script.
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rocky-linux/rocky-tools/main/migrate2rocky/migrate2rocky.sh
chmod +x migrate2rocky.sh
sudo ./migrate2rocky.sh -r
Interesting. With my flow in Linux it will probably fail catastrophically, but it’s worth a try first.
Unless you have a really custom kernel, a lot of packages built locally using make, or custom repos where you maintain your own software, it probably will be fine. Of course, always have a backup.
I don’t remember how the upgrading went, but it was something like: upgrade to latest centos 7, add the centos 8 repo, install the kernel, do a dnf update and upgrade, reboot and pray, then you’ll be greeted by a centos 8 installation, which you can migrate to rocky from.

Interesting choice
When running Linux for a variety of day-to-day tasks, a powerful GPU is often a waste of silicon.
I only put a beefy GPU in the machine I play games on.
Everything else gets integrated graphics.
It’s good. You said often because there are use cases for a Beefy GPU. I definitely say the most people don’t need it though
Both our statements are gonna piss the Linux gaming meme folk off though
Oh, absolutely.
I don’t do ML or any of the GPU use case things on a local machine, so I have no need for it.
Yeah you just rent from Amazon
I was going to say there’s another use case but those guys are kind of a specialty, especially when you start getting into the video editing and animation and creation and stuff like that
You couldn’t pay me enough to get back in the Linux gaming. You’d have to blow my brains out. It’s not worth it. It’s not a reason to buy a GPU. I dual boot for that again lol
I use the Radeon graphics in linux
I was about to get up and go neofetch mine. It won’t show the Nvidia RTX 3070 when I use it in integrated only mode (bios switch).
Gives me an 8 hour battery life. No complaints.
When I boot in windows I hit the switch and bingo I can game without Linux bullshittery and drama. Over it entirely
Some may laugh, but Intel iGPUs have the best drivers on Linux.
I mean, I don’t disagree, but 9900k lol.
Probably I’m just ignorant and don’t know of any single thread high-speed workloads that don’t involve graphics.
