Imagine how I feel right now, I bought 16 used 20tb Seagate drives around September last year for $200 each, from Amazon, and finally built my dream NAS after a decade of waiting and planning. I don’t understand how I got so lucky but I did. They’re all working just fine, and I somehow avoided having to wait another decade to finally build my NAS due to random capitalism gold rush bullshit. Praise be.

This sounds like a step towards computer vaccines, and I’m not about to let my computer get autism, thank you.

Unexpected behavior, leading to unexpected inputs to systems, often leads to failures. Put simply, nobody thought X would happen on Y service or at Z level, so nobody wrote code to handle that scenario. May sound crazy at first, but it’s quite hard to cover all possible scenarios when writing code… Or with life in general.

I’m on Bazzite, so I may be tempted to switch to SteamOS on at least one of my devices, but Bazzite covers pretty much all my bases currently, both for gaming and work. I have a laptop with EndeavourOS and I love it, been using it for about 2-3 years there, but I’m switching laptops soon to a framework so I’ll also go with Bazzite there for consistency and due to the official support it has with framework laptops.

Honestly the experience I’ve had with these distros so far leaves me wishing for nothing more, and now with immutability and distro box I kinda don’t see the point in changing to anything else unless Bazzite development dies out or they make a painfully stupid decision, which doesn’t seem to be the case so far!

Legit question @people who know more about Theo than me, but isn’t Theo like, actually a pretty nice guy, even if right wing? Dude kinda reminds me a bit of Destin from SmarterEveryDay, who’s obviously on the redneck side of things, is right wing as far as I can tell, but is still extremely knowledgeable, incredibly chill, and actually cares about the foundations of his stances and doesn’t buy into divisionist rhetorics.

I might be assuming things and jumping to conclusions, which is why I am asking this, but I vaguely recall a video he made which clearly showed he held right wing positions but had no issue tearing down right wing propaganda and stances if they were bullshit.

Great, now show me the Linux ARM laptop that’s competing with MacBooks at the consumer level. You do have something that’s actively turning people away from Apple Silicon, yes?

What relevance does Linux have in this specific context? Does Linux have a marketing team? Does Linux compete on a hardware level with Apple? Is there a Linux corp we haven’t heard about that’s working with some chip manufacturer we also haven’t heard about in order to create ARM processors that can compete with Apple silicon? No? Maybe don’t shoehorn Linux into everything regardless of relevance, especially not in such a lane way.
