/sqt/ because old one is almost kill

You know the drill:
-post your small tech support questions HERE, don't create a thread for them
-don't just bump the thread, most people look for posts without replies
-take at least 10 seconds checking your problem with a search engine

I've managed to snag a G3 power mac from work when they were clearing out all of their old servers and computers, anything useful to use it for; or better yet, any GNU/Linux distributions I should try out?

What's your opinion on The Verge?

I used to be a follower of Engadget, when it was run by the guys who made The Verge. Josh Topolsky, Paul Miller, Nilay Patel. They left Engadget after a dispute with AOL, and Josh created "This Is My Next", which then became The Verge, which Paul and Nilay then joined.

I loved old Engadget. It had a sense of humour. They just loved tech. It had a good culture about it.

But these days The Verge feels completely different. Josh Topolsky is obviously gone - he went to write for Bloomberg, then he was fired so now he's doing something else. Paul Miller left for a while, but he's back - but not writing very frequently. Nilay is the editor-in-chief, but he doesn't write frequently either.

Instead The Verge has been taken over by a new generation of millennials. And I think they're all twats. They're all left-wing politicists. I'm sure Engadget was probably left-of-centre back in the day. But it was still primarily a technology site.

Perhaps it's me who's changed instead of the site though.

What do you guys think?

Ok, so the shortage of AMD cards has resulted in my 290 being worth over $200 on ebay again (dumb as fuck I know)
I have a friend that offered me his EVGA GTX 980 TI SC+ for $240

Should I sell the 290 and grab that bitch, or is there some underlying reason to keep the 290 that I'm not seeing?

I love my 290 but if I can get a performance boost and lower TDP for damn near free it seems like a no brainer imo.

Ouch. He's right though. Google's own stats back it up.
