Man this Story hat so many plot twists in it…

Takeaway for the Story is: If you don’t have a backup of your file and you don’t monitor the backup process and you don’t tested that your backup can actually be restored and you don’t have a redundancy backup… Than yours file isn’t saved.

The difference between AI and Coder:

The Coder fixes it’s errors. AI is just pretending everything would just run fine.

Out of context, but this video showing the amount of freshwater on the planet in perspective was eye opening for me… I see water availability different since.

I feel like the LLM guy should be the psycho doctor doing unethical experience with the clinic patients…

This meme is so fedi!

I mean the JPN cover is much more true to the original game ascetic and is more artistically pleasing…

But c’mon the US cover looks like a frickin 80s fantasy trash movie poster. Retrospectively that’s so iconic.

Yes the moment the “article” framed modularity and replaceability as a problem it was clear for me that this is nothing else than product placement… Those things are features I would wish my car would have.

I thought it stood for “Kool Desktop Environment”

I was just thinking the other day… Someone should make a move from the Struwwelpeter Book. PEGI 18

Of course they do. They want to keep control over monetization. They don’t care about creators at all.

Thanks for being nitpicky, so I didn’t had to.

Sony has committed official drivers for PS5 controller under Linux. The experience with it is really plug-and-play… just that you don’t plug it in.

Some people don’t like the layout others prefer it. I use it myself on my Linux computer. So I wanted to name this option here.

I think it’s much more impressive that stuff that was added in 2018 and 2019 has a much higher probability of being deleted today than if it was added 2017…

Wonder if that has anything to do with covid and maybe new businesses models opened 2 years before failing and therefore websites of this companies disappeared.

Also I think it would be nice to see a graph of new websites being opened other the same time span.

My best advice is:

Don’t listen too much about what strangers on the Internet say you should do or use.

Non of us has statistics to pull from. Mostly it’s individual experience mixed with personal preferences. All that could be different for someone else. E.g. some people will have problems with Nvidia, other with AMD.

Stick to the basic and add fancy stuff later on.

Don’t pick a distribution because of the Desktop environment. Or because someone said it has a nifty feature. People create new distros all the time just for fun and not because there would be a real reason for it. Looking on the release cycle would probably be the most basic decision you should take. Read about the differences between “rolling release” and “long time support” and decide base on you personal use case.

Have a backup strategy

This is nothing limited to Linux but since you are planing to switch your habits, there is a high possibility you will mess up at some point. Best would be you try to stimulate the worst case and look if you would be able to setup your system in a VM or something.

Don’t be afraid to try things out

Especially when you know that your backup is working. There is not much you can lose. Don’t be afraid of using Arch Linux e.g. just because someone on the Internet said it’s just for pros or something.

So this last one is maybe just the consequences of all the above. But yeah I guess that’s all I could say for now 😅

Maybe it depends on who you ask or where you are. Maybe a US vs EU thing? I never was a professional Musician, but when I started reading about creating/composing music for Video Games I learned that many professional Studios run on Windows because of proprietary standards and software. that is not available for Apple (and Linux)

Really? last time I checked Windows was the dominant player in professional music production but I guess trends can change very quickly.

So there is no real reason preventing Linux to become the domint system at any time.

To be fair this is not a Reddit thing and it can be found in the fediverse too. I can remember some of such situations where a person just posted wrong stuff but in a very confident way. I was able to prove him wrong later but nobody cared anymore.

Ok so I guess it really just comes down to personal preferences at this point.

In general I would recommend any Debian derivate for beginners that just don’t care about how their computer is operating. So if this is really just a question regarding eight Fedora or Linux Mint then I would say Linux Mint because it’s a Debian derivative.

That’s simply because chances are high stat you will at least find a Deb package for any proprietary software you might want to use. Making it “easier” for the user.

If you install the system for your friend you’re free to change the Desctop environment to everything you want.

This is a reference to an original star war movie poster, if you wonder why it looks familiar.
