Yeah, it's just a little tough with Nvidia driver performance, gsync monitors, and persistent shader caching when I'm trying to click heads =P Some games work great, just not all of them.
And I still have to get familiar with the large amount of packages I need to install to have a lightweight, but efficient Linux install for gaming, especially when not using a distro pre-built for gaming.

Is this the new "I use Arch, btw"? =D lol
But yeah, I've heard of immutable distros but haven't really looked into it. I assume NixOS is one.
@It's FOSS I have been using Gnu/Linux since 1995. When I started using instructions from usenet to home roll a Gnu/Linux system, which would be equivalent to LFS today. It was not until 1998 when I got a copy of Debian on a Boot Magazine CD (Now Wired). That I started using X . As downloading The X System on Dialup was a bit adventurous.
I left MS/DOS and MS/ Windows behind, at least in my personal life, and never looked back. I have kept up with MS/ Windows for work and to help family and friends though I would not consider installing it on one of my own machines, except on VM to do compatibility testing for my development.
Today installing Gnu/Linux is as easy, if not easier than a MS/ Windows install. People have it easy today š.

@Trivial Einstein I have MS Office 365 strictly because it gives me and 5 of my family members 1 TB of backup space. I have tried to force myself to use MS Office (via WUI). It is just to obscure. I prefer LibreOffice and my Open Source Tools.
I have used Gnu/Linux as my Daily Driver for over 30 years so I am used to not relying on MS products. Today I use Fedora 41 on my laptop, Arch on my Workstation and use Rocky 9 on my VPS. I have worked with Windows systems at work, and for friends though Windows is just not reliable enough for day to day use in my opinion.
@queerthoughts not that I've been able to spot.
Although on Windows (work pc) it's got this weird thing going on where if you're in dark mode on your pc, it won't correctly render some in-doc elements and some stuff will literally just be invisible. Switching to a light theme manually doesn't fix all of it either and despite following online guides I can't get some of it to go into light mode at all.
No such issues on Linux, where I'm also using a system-wide dark theme.
@Luna @Trivial Einstein No, it will not force any AI on you and LibreOffice has no intention at this time to add AI support to LibreOffice.
There are community projects that would allow you to use AI if you wanted to. Most importantly locally hosted AI such as Ollama or Llama.cpp so your information is not being shared with a corporation.

It's not even that it is AI #slop, but that it takes an idea I think most folks here already agree with, and tries to present it with fake bona fides.
The implication is that someone cared enough to pay to put up a billboard on a public place. Social proof.
The message itself could have just been text, posted, even as a big image.

I'll agree with the point, but not the delivery
/usr/bin/python), and then as you go installing some packages (i.e. on the #AUR if you're on #ArchLinux) which will then install some Python libraries using it, and then you start using something like #Conda or #Miniconda whereby subsequent package installations or updates may be installing these libraries on the Conda environment (i.e. ~/miniconda3/python) and not the system, so there's some overlap there or so? I'm wondering what's the best way of moving forward from this point - esp since sometime ago, it's no longer possible to raw pip install <package> anymore for wtv reason.

in reply to Henry Fisher • •@Henry Fisher You will be happy to know that as soon as egg prices started going up I stopped buying them. There are alternatives. Though I cannot ignore the fact that it seemed like throughout the video you were only considering eggs as a breakfastfood? 90% of the eggs I use in my household end up as an ingredient in a cake, casserole, pasta, etc. Eggs are not just a breakfast food. They are a staple ingredient used in baking and stove top cooking.
Now, there are alternatives for the home. Such as baking powder & vinegar, apple sauce, Flax Seeds and warm water, and many more. I say this for home use because businesses will just have to bite the bullet and lose a little profit. The number one issue a customer will have is with one thing and that is consistency. Analyze the issues that customers have and they nearly always boil down to a lack of consistency in either service, price or product anticipations. You do not want to alter your recipes in a business setting

You do not want to alter your recipes in a business setting for an issue like this. You have to budget for this type of set back. Because after your product change loses customers you are not going to easily get them back.
I liked you video over all, though I was kind of disappointed in the way you talked about eggs as if the only part of our diet they had a place in was a breakfast dish when they are one of the most common ingredients in cooking. It would have been nice for you to acknowledge that and offer the many alternatives people could use in that scenario.
Okay, I have to ask this, you do not do much cooking do you?

in reply to Unus Nemo • • •@unusnemo Definitely get it - I bake too (and use flax personally)
The most common complaints I've heard is around breakfast & meals, not baking. Not to discount that issue as well. But it's a long video and hard to cover every use-case!

in reply to Henry Fisher • •@Henry Fisher š Okay, I know it was a long video, I watched it. I guess it is just the dynamics of the society we are in. For me more people are concerned about how this impacts all of their meals not just breakfast. In your case people are just concerned about breakfast.
Typically, I use flax if I am making it for an event with vegan friends though for my house it is usually eggs. Though with the price of eggs it is flax at home too for the foreseeable future.
