Employee at the Black Mesa research facility in New Mexico. Recently we’ve dealt with 2 aliens trying to steal snacks out of the pantry outside the laboratory.
Hope your day is going well.
Debian for most of my machines, rock solid and works. I’ve had 0 problems with Debian on any computer its downloaded on. And I personally don’t need very up to date packages.
On my main computer (currently Windows due to hardware compatibility issues on Linux), I’ve flip flopped between Pop and Fedora depending on how much I need 3D graphics applications.
I’ve watched a little over half of the show…it has some music, but much of it is pretty ambient. Maybe there is more music in the latter half.
Cyberpunk dystopia, main character who is constantly suffering, no music (only ambient sounds), pretty much no smiles
THE doomer anime.
Same here. Been stuck with Windows on my *main laptop for about a year now. For about a year, I had a dual boot setup with PopOS as my main OS and Windows for gaming and apps that don’t run on Linux. Unfortunately, the battery life and hardware support on PopOS was subpar. Battery life decreased as well despite me running TLP and auto-cpufreq in the background, and given that I have a gaming laptop (Lenovo Legion 5) I need every minute I can get.
Just a week ago I started thinking about switching back to Linux, likely Pop with KDE rather than Cosmic/GNOME. Spent my 1st year with this laptop on Windows, 2nd on Linux, and the 3rd on Windows. This may be the year of the Linux desktop for me, especially if hardware support has gotten better since then.
Unfortunately, this is a problem that can’t really be resolved. As long as there is a downvote button, it will always be viewed as a dislike button by some people (and I don’t know if removing it is a good alternative for such a large social network). It’s a problem that would eventually arrive here from Reddit as the community on the Fediverse grew.
There’s really nothing we can do about it.
welp, another has joined the ranks
welcome
Wait another one? Surprised given that the original live action flim is one of the few live action anime films I really liked. Can’t wait for this one then, will most likely be a huge improvement.
The original’s biggest downfall was the lack of Eurobeat. If they add that, instant 10/10 movie.
CPU brand choice doesn’t really matter a lot.
In general, I’d say go with AMD if you can afford it, but otherwise Intel is fine. Intel has caught up slightly the past couple of years, but AMD APUs are still at the top in terms of what you get for the money. If you can’t get an AMD laptop because of low stock/price or see an Intel laptop with more features you like, just go for that instead. I have an Intel laptop and the CPU worked fine on Linux (running Windows right now since driver support for other parts of the laptop like speakers and the display were a little shoddy because of how new it was).
I don’t know if this still remains true (if not, please correct me), but AMD will be marginally better for productivity and programming because of the multi core performance. They are also slightly more efficient than Intel in terms of power usage, although I’m sure any laptop besides a gaming laptop will give you solid battery life in 2023.
Honestly one of the most well written posts I’ve read. Thanks a lot, helped me understand all of this networking stuff involved with self-hosting since I literally just bought a PC to function as my home server like 2 days ago.

Linux memes are only funny if they are shitting on Arch anyway
I live in a major US city, and yes they are still everywhere and being used. Here they have an actual use since walkability isn’t the best, and at worse are just a nuisance with the way they block parts of the sidewalk and can be left anywhere with little consequence.

Seriously, can’t we just focus on the food rather than fancy excuses for plates?
I mean, if you don’t like Ubuntu much and you can also use the terminal, maybe try out Debian? Packages are a little dated but if you are willing to live with it, it’s a great experience. I have some unstable repos added to my install for newer packages, and its been a good experience with 0 issues so far. I mainly use the GUI and its also been easy to use and super stable, although I suppose Pop and Mint would still be easier.
It’s not exactly Ubuntu based, but its worth a shot.
You know, I’d feel happy about this but I hear a voice from the back of my head telling me “You know this driver isn’t coming out for the next 20 years.”
But seriously, I think its cool to see Nvidia actually making strides towards an open source driver (if they are actually serious about it, which I’m still skeptical about for no reason in particular beyond past history).
