this is a concept i've been trying to put into concrete terms for myself and you just, like, fuckin nailed it right down. thank you so much.

mint is good, pop!os is also good, i use and recommend endeavouros as arch-but-easy. tbh just about any popular distro these days is prolly gonna do fine for the average user.

pop!os reportedly packs in and handles the proprietary nvidia drivers for you, which can be a pain to handle yourself. i haven't tried it nor do i have nvidia but i see it highly recommended a lot.

sodium. gravity. carbon capacitors. lead acid. molten salt. air pressure. flywheel.

there's alllll kinds of battery storage solutions, and for grid storage just about anything other than lithium can be used because lithium is really only useful for power density applications where weight and size of the battery matters like cars and planes.

nuclear fission is dead. fusion is the only nuclear worth talking about and that's still years, probably decades away from being actually useful.

so then: solar, wind, wave, hydro, geothermal, and all kinds of batteries is what we have now and can do cheaply and do everywhere and do it now.

why do nuclear diehards always pretend it's nuclear or fossil fuels only, like renewables are nonexistant? it smells bad faith as fuck. nobody arguing against nuclear fission power plants are arguing for fossil fuels. absolutely nobody.

don't know why you'd want to? you may trust your dns server but without dns over https the dns requests themselves are sent plaintext and are vulnerable to man-in-the-middle attack. with dns over https the dns requests are encrypted and that encryption would have to be broken for a MITM attacker to see your requests. more security is better and dns over https costs virtually nothing to use in terms of cpu resources.

edit: oh do you mean whole system mullvad VPN? if so, then yeah dns over https doesn't really help much but it's also still a case of why bother turning it off when there's no benefit to it.

linux typically won't hard freeze on errors like that no matter the distro. it can, but rarely. being an all amd build i suspect there's some cpu bios feature auto scaling core clock or voltage and in my experience ryzen cpus need to have a manually set stable clock and voltage to perform properly no matter the os. try checking your bios and disabling any powersaving or auto-scaling features for your cpu and manually set it for stock clock and voltage. you may need to look up what these values are as the bios might not have a default value for you. this might not be your issue but it's worth trying. good luck!

one of her reasons is "erasure of femininity in gaming" with a screen bemoaning "masculine features" of modern female characters, and her pinned comment says "you know things are bad when oblivion npcs are prettier than some of these new game characters" and also thanks asmongold for sending viewers her way.

so uh, how about no for this hateful garbage.

lmao same
