So the NVIDIA graphics card is not as big of an issue as it would have been even five years ago. Just use the proprietary drivers. And for my money, Linux Mint is the best distro for beginners, hands-down. You never have to touch the command line and everything just works.
I second this, with the addition that you can also use DistroSea to test-drive distros in your browser. Also, DistroWatch has a search that you can filter by "Beginners" to find some that might be easier.
A friend of mine is working on an internal AI chatbot at their company, so that the Least-Productive Team will have something to answer the same 5 questions that they keep asking to Friend's (extremely productive) team, instead of wasting Friend et al's time.
So I guess that's the one use case of AI bots: to dangle keys in front of MBAs who are too stupid to do their own jobs. Which explains everything, really.
Well, shit. Sorry Mr Macklemore :(
Haven't gotten there yet. I'm curious to see what happens with Motorola though!
Honest to God, I thought a "Librephone" was something that already existed. I think I was thinking of the PinePhone or smth.
There's a promising treatment for Huntington's disease in the works, and we might have vaccines for allergies and/or asthma at some point!
How is "bro" toxic...? I can see how someone who isn't a dude objecting to being called one, but that's not an issue with the word itself
Steven Universe. The online fandom was insane. The actual show was incredible.
OK, here's the thing. Overall, Peter Jackson's LOTR trilogy is extremely good. I think it's the best Tolkien adaptation we're likely to ever get.
HOWEVER.
The random "Arwen is dying!" subplot was incredibly fucking stupid and while it didn't ruin the movies for me, it did dampen my enjoyment of them. There had to be a better way to get more screentime for Liv Tyler, surely.
I see people recommending Debian but you also said you enjoy tinkering, so I'd recommend SpiralLinux. It's basically Debian but it uses BTRFS so you can roll back to a previous snapshot if you break something. I don't think Spiral has updated to Trixie yet so you'd need to manually upgrade but that's not too big a hassle if you do it immediately.
