i know someone who works in one. 7 days a week, 12 hours a day for like $1k/mo or a bit less, depending on your function, and they are constantly finding reasons to dock your pay or otherwise fuck you. they will give you pills or injections and refuse to tell you what it even is if you are sick.

you are stuck there for 9 months at a time or more if they decide they want to keep you for a bit longer. passengers are super entitled and it seems to attract the very worst people humanity has to offer when it comes to the people working and running the place.

it was kind of a meme for a while in the 2000s that fusion energy was always right around the corner but never actually came. risc-v feels about like that atm.

scratch that part, i switched it up with arduino being bought off by qualcomm. haven’t been sleeping very well lately.

so one of the reasons distros that update quicker and use newer software are generally considered advanced is because they use brand new less tested software that breaks easier. ie. for enthusiasts looking for all the new shiny features all the time, the best possible performance or easy modularity at the cost of stability.

it’s what i mean when i say you have to accept you need the right tool for the job. newbies who expect and need a stable hands-off experience like you are recommended debian, mint, ubuntu and such for a reason.

don’t worry though, the cool new features and performance will trickle down to you whenever they are ready for wide adoption. and you can be an enthusiast on a boring distro too.

is this the nuclear fusion by 2020 of our generation?

this just completely defeats the purpose of an rpi.

guess their acquisition was really spelling out their demise.

and it can be skipped. for now.

they are probably in the us

you can probably disable the updater through adb.

or any sector for that matter, really

i find that bazzite can be a great beginner distro, as it has some sane quality of life defaults baked in over fedora, but fedora is not bad if you can get used to default dockless gnome for example.

you are arguing from a place of stubbornness. cachy arch and nix are not supposed to be newbie friendly distros. linux doesn’t break easily at all, but only if you accept you need the right tool for that job.

it’s like that youtuber that keeps insisting on using pop os with a beta desktop when he knows its not windows and breaks, and then complains it’s not windows and breaks.

i work with linux and i’ve been updating hundreds of debian, ubuntu and assorted turnkey distros over decades without issue, and you could too.

cachyos is not a system for newbies, or absolute stability. nix isn’t it either.

try fedora, debian, ubuntu, mint or something newbie friendly if you want a newbie friendly experience.

it’s used as a sort of runtime that executes programs made for gnome, on environments that are not gnome.

i’m full of kde stuff on my gnome desktop, no worries.

“slavery wasn’t that bad, actually”

commenting so i can see this later

i will always say this, but these protests are the perfect time to organize your leftist friends to dress in red hammer and sickles and go talk to the libs.

often on linux, you can simply type man <command> and get TFM

i would agree with you on GUI apps, where it can be confusing.

you can think of any kind of realism in a game like this. we may see lighter llms or faster computers that could run them better.

realistic physics don’t add a lot to most (not all) games and it was computationally expensive for the time, very fun though. great eye candy graphics will often add to the feel and immersion of a game, but realistic graphics is chasing dragons computationally. still cool.

i can see chatbots adding an interesting layer of realism to games, provided it’s done correctly. say, in gta type games, or in the sims type games.

so far
