I found a thinkpad with a radeon GPU for only 200 which was nice.

It will never stop because X is a terrible name and means nothing without “formerly known as twitter”

Ones of the reasons I like Pop, they install a recovery partition with a copy of the install USB, finally they have a ‘factory reset’ that reinstalls the OS while keeping the users home folders.

You can try making a virtual machine with a 20 GB virtual hard drive to try out different Linux distros in the meantime.

I disagree, I think protesting during working hours is kind of the point, same as a union protest during working hours. It affects the corps bottom line, the only thing they care about.

We already have a social credit score, we started it in the 80s. Its called credit

Stop talking to the type of people that care about what phone you have.

Then the VPN has your data, and also your ISP depending on how secure your setup is

Were you running Wayland by any chance?

I was able to use this guys docker image and tool in order to cross compile my Rust programs in the past. They were very simple programs so I dont know how well it works for larger projects.

Its creating a function named : that spawns two copies of : then calls that function to start the duplicating code or forks. For that, its called a fork bomb.

They run them through QA at least and work directly with Nvidia to fix any issues they notice. They dont catch everything of course but its still good.

If you want to support Linux devs and continued development, I would buy from System76, Tuxedo Computers, or even Framework.

If you’re going to buy used then yeah the Thinkpad is fine.

C is bloat, thats why everyone should use Asm

System76.com has laptops like that imo

I just installed TrueNAS on a desktop with a lot of SATA slots. https://www.truenas.com/

Right, there’s plenty of people also not getting paid anything for their work. This “You shouldn’t care about money” feels like a straw man argument to OP’s argument which I think could also be said as “OSS isn’t sustainable unless everyone is paid a sustainable amount”.

It’s just all around frustrating. It has that same energy as “You criticize the system yet you’re a part of it” example. For example, I wont be able to show this thread to my landlord when rent is due saying, “You shouldn’t care about money, I’m an OSS dev so I dont”

So in closing, I guess I wish everyone had a UBI to be sustainable and then yeah OSS itself could be sustainable as a hobby project.

This is my recommended gaming distro, its actually works from my experience unlike the 3 different arch based distros I tried.

It depends on the person and their experience obviously, but for me, trying Linux back in 2020 felt like when I was new to computers in general and was poking around and learning Windows XP for the first time. It was fun seeing all the different settings options and features that were new to me.
