A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

I was going to grab a 9070 XT, but I also wanted to start mainly using a local LLM instead of contributing to data center use, so I snagged a used 7900 XTX for $750 off eBay for the greater VRAM capacity. Works like a charm, and the local Qwen model is performing great. Totally worth it. It's my first Radeon card because I wanted to dodge the ridiculous Nvidia AI markups, but it's already showing signs of running better with my Linux machine, so I don't expect I'll be going back to the green menace.
I managed to grab a 9070 XT earlier this year for $630 bundled with a 750W power supply. I guess the bundle was to deter scalpers from buying it.
AMD GPUs are going to run better on Linux than NVidia because the drivers are in the kernel. You have to install the NVidia proprietary drivers separately if they're even available because they don't support that many models. Linus himself gave NVidia the finger for being so hard to work with.
