Moving between distros I usually just have files I care about like documents and music on their own drive so I don't need to worry about moving them. As for moving from Ubuntu to Fedora, there are more steps to getting non-free software/codecs/drivers working on Fedora, you will need RPM Fusion for that. There are relevant How-Tos provided by RPM Fusion and other sources for installing NVIDIA drivers, ffmpeg (non-free), and more.

I've been using Fedora 42 since it branched, it has been quite nice; I haven't encountered any breaking bugs with it. Has gnome 48 which comes with HDR support. Hope that chromium can get support for it soon, MPV can already do it apparently, but haven't tried it; games have been hit & miss for it, but I presume those will get ironed out over time.

This used to be true, but they have been focusing very heavily on services, and on ads to a lesser degree for quite a few years to pursue greater profits. & It's clear that this trend will not stop.

Hard to say why the density is that different, if those transistor numbers are accurate. A less dense design would allow for higher clocking, & while the clocks are fairly high, they aren't that far out there, but that's one factor (I'd hope they wouldn't trade half the area for a few extra MHz, when a gpu w/ 2x the tr will just be better).

It could also be in addition that the # of transistors that each company provides is different as they may count them differently (but I'm not convinced of this).

Customers pay by the wafer, so mm^2; though tr cost is a function of that so :3 .

Strange to point out those comparisons but not the actual transistor difference between the two.

B580 only has 19.6B transistors while the RTX 4070 has 35.8B transistors. So the RTX 4070 has nearly double (1.82x) the transistors of B580.

The RTX 4060 ti has 22.9B and the RTX 4060 has 18.9B transistors
