The République française was a first-rate 118-gun ship of the line of the French Navy, of the Océan type, designed by Jacques-Noël Sané and built by Pierre Rolland.

She was begun at Rochefort in 1794 as the Majesteux, but was given the name République française later that same year. She resumed the name Majestueux in February 1803, prior to being completed in August 1803. She took part in Allemand's expedition of 1805. Scrapped in 1839.

gollark: I don't know about the performance of PRIME versus GPU switching, but it's definitely more convenient.

gollark: You should just be able to get nvidia drivers from your distro package manager.

gollark: The speakers also work fine, as does WiFi, the keyboard, trackpad, etc.

gollark: Anecdotally, my device (2020 Legion 5 with the i5-10300H and RTX 2060) works fine under Linux. People spoke of backlight issues, but it works fine for me. I'm using the hybrid GPU mode with PRIME (https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/PRIME#PRIME_render_offload).

gollark: Thanks. I'm not on Windows but might use this if I ever end up installing it instead for whatever reason.
