09:37 | GTX 1080 Ti Revival Rumors Are False
Just as a quick update: There was a story circulating this past week about the GTX 1080 Ti allegedly being revived, particularly by EVGA, as a means to quell some of the shortage concerns. We called EVGA and asked if the 1080 Ti was getting remade, and the official answer was “no, it is not being remade. The 1080 Ti is no longer in production.” The unofficial answer when we first posed the question was “HAHA! No.” Sorry to shoot that one down for 1080 Ti fans.
10:52 | Hong Kong Customs Seized Smuggled GPUs
Hong Kong news station TVB News reported on the Hong Kong Customs and Excise Department seizing a cache of 300 “unidentified” graphics cards, which was part of a much larger haul that was intercepted from a Chinese smuggling ring.

I think the non server Linux community needs a reference device.
Basically, you develop against that device, and it s upto hardware manufacturers to try and match the reference device to make their laptops/desktops compatible.
If you could get a couple of distro owners such as Red Hat, Ubuntu, Arch, etc. to agree upon such a device it would go a long way to resolving a lot of the issues that the desktop community faces.
Disclaimer: I have no expertise in this on either the hardware or software end so this idea might be completely nonsensical for all I know.
How to Install Linux
Want to install Linux? It’s an easier process than you might think! You can even try Linux on your PC before you install it. If you don’t like it, just reboot and you’ll be back to Windows. Here’s how to get started with Linux.
Choose a Linux Distro and Download It
First, you’ll need to choose a Linux distribution you want to use. Linux distributions package up the Linux kernel and other software into a complete operating system you can use. Different Linux distributions have different system tools, desktop environments, included applications, and visual themes.
