Different, I would say. Best home vids? PH. More fetishes? Xvideos.

Home video stuff is arguably the best!

Often filmed with nothing but desire to share the joy. Vivid, real, as opposed to the carefully curated studio plastic, or OF crap where people have it for the money, and with all the ethical and other concerns about it.

But I know there are always two sides to look at the issue. Studio production is obviously more perfected, and that’s what many like

I mean, you lose nothing for trying. Windows will still be on your machine if you dual boot or use live image.

Some use cases may force the user to stay with Windows. Most won’t.

Going Debian is fully valid too! And more generally, whatever distro works for you is the best. There’s a good reason there are so many.

Damn, 5 kids…you’re a hero lol

Fedora sure is mature as well, but Bazzite in particular is immutable, which adds a level of complexity you may not be ready for. Debian can be used as a gaming distro, at least for as long as you’re not using the latest and greatest hardware.

Constant updates are pretty much a feature of all distros close to the bleeding edge. That’s what makes them bleeding edge to begin with. With Debian, you’ll be forgiven to forget updates even exist.

Used Debian, Manjaro, Mint (regular Ubuntu version), Fedora as a daily driver on PC; Debian, Ubuntu and a bit of Arch on servers.

Currently running Fedora. Debian is good, but I appreciate being closer to the bleeding edge, and while Flatpaks help bridge the gap, they also make more up-to-date distros remain stable, and you wouldn’t use Flatpaks for system packages which also matter.

Previously ran Manjaro - nice premise, but the team does not have the capacity to pull it off just stable and good enough. It does tend to break after a while. I still wish their team all the best and hope it will one day become my home again - but not before they sort their mess.

Arch on desktops is too much of a “debloated” experience for me - I don’t enjoy having to build my system from scratch, even though I know how. Also, the risk of updates borking the system is too high, and I’m not red-eyed enough to read all update notes. On experimental servers with just a few packages, though, it can be useful.

Mint was actually quite buggy for me too, despite folks generally insisting on stability as one of its selling points. Also, they are strong on promoting Cinnamon, and I’m a KDE fanboy (and a bit of a Gnome enjoyer).

Fedora caused me problems only once, and that is when I used universal Linux package to install proprietary NVidia drivers (use the package from Fedora repos to avoid my mistakes!). Other than that, and through several major updates, it works like a charm. It also automatically saves system images while updating, and you can easily load any. Stability-wise, it was same as Debian to me.

2,5 years in, not looking back.

To be fair, some multiplayer titles (Fortnite, Valorant, recently Apex Legends, Splitgate 2) do not work due to anticheat being very Windows-specific, but other than that, I have not encountered any issues.

Currently playing World of Warcraft, Kingdom Come: Deliverance II, Minecraft, Gunfire Reborn, Endless Space 2, recently played Split Fiction, Cyberpunk 2077, Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, TES V Skyrim, Elite Dangerous, Warframe, Euro Truck Simulator 2, Cycle Frontier, Once Human, a bit of Star Citizen - each and every one of them played perfectly well.

I haven’t noticed issues in any singleplayer/co-op/MMO games I’ve tried. For multiplayer shooters, it gets worse. All Valve games are alright (of course), and some others are too. Apex Legends is a biggest loss, they’ve recently decided to arbitrarily drop all Linux support, despite working flawlessly in the past.

I feel like this is one of those calls that get so repeatedly people get numbed.

Something along the lines of climate change, economic crisis, etc.

They are all true, but people are passivated.

For real though; GET THE DAMN LINUX. SPIN IT UP IN A VM. TRY THE LIVE VERSION. DUAL BOOT IT WITH WINDOWS. YOU LOSE NOTHING, WINDOWS IS STILL THERE. JUST TRY IT FOR ONCE.

It is painful to see people struggle with things that are easily solved.

Aren’t they sourcing the search results from Bing?

Yes, it works perfectly well without Internet. Tried it both on physically disconnected PC and laptop in airplane mode.

Alright, that’s fair on your part. Still, thus needs to be taken into account, as the real competition is not with the battery planes (we know they suck), but with combustion jets.

It takes energy to produce fuel. So what?

The point is, the efficiency of the entire process is much smaller compared to battery. Some estimates say that between electrolysis, transportation and fuel cell conversion it’s almost twice as bad in terms of energy efficiency, so you ultimately need double the energy for the same thing.

Sure, the math on planes is somewhat different as you need to account for battery weight. But really, it might still be more efficient to cram those batteries in. And as we know, it is still too bad to be usable.

There is already GPT4All.

Convenient graphical interface, any model you like (for Llama fans - of course it’s there), fully local, easy to opt in or out of data collection, and no fuss to install - it’s just a Linux/Windows/MacOS app.

For Linux folks, it is also available as flatpak for your convenience.

I fancy you don’t have to release it in the air and can land with it.

And then you get free soda!

Is it really cheaper and more practical to produce sodium vs hydrogen?

The typical issue with fuel cells is not energy density, it is the fact that you need to waste a lot of energy to regenerate and transport the fuel.

For example, if you take a classic hydrogen option, you can either get it from natural gas (which is not sustainable/eco-friendly) or from water (which is fully sustainable as you get a closed cycle, but comes with additional energy losses on electrolysis, transportation and usage).

Similarly, here with sodium you either have to produce it over and over from salt, or you’ll have to regenerate soda, with the first option being wasteful and the second too energy-demanding and complicated.

So, overall, you’ll need to spend much more energy (= both recurring and upfront costs) compared to running battery-powered transportation if you want to make it a close cycle similar to batteries.

Technically, a developer can contact vendors to include their keys to Secure Boot, but that would require asking all of them and them responding positively. So, in practice, it is commonly Microsoft that controls it since obviously just about any vendor will support their signatures.

Secure Boot does allow for Linux installation, just not any Linux installation. Some distros support it (like Fedora), some don’t (like Manjaro).

I do not agree with an angry mob downvoting you, but I’ll notice this is probably not the context to put this in.

This looks more like a parent figuring out about their kids being trans. In the OP’s context, everyone is on an even ground.

Here, it is mostly important to use their preferred names/pronouns and consult on the terms as necessary.

They won’t; sponsored by the big capital, they are not capable of providing a large systemic change without losing the platform to speak on.

The issue is systemic, and Dems are not fit to solve it. Third party, funded by the regular people, is the only way forward.

Nope, just not true.
