   I'm having to phase out my main machine, and the next will be AMD.   
      
   Currently, I can not install fgfs (the flight simulator game) because it   
   is incompatible with a missing feature on the nvidia rpms for my "old"   
   nvidia card. The Nvidia rpm maintainer said he seriously considered not   
   publishing the G03 rpms for Leap 15.* till someone else solved the   
   issue. Thus, I will switch to AMD graphics.   
      
   Then there are the patches to solve the Intel security problems. Thus, I   
   will switch to AMD CPU.   
      
   And finally, I need more RAM, and my MB is maxed...   
      
   Sigh. :-/   
      
      
   My laptops have Intel graphics.
