C and python simultaneously.

Not for everyone, but they are aiming at increasing hardware ownership costs so more people can’t afford local AI

OpenAI/Anthropic is incentivized to prevent this.

They are also big enough and unregulated enough that they could use their power & political/industry relationships to drive up the price of local AI ownership (RAM, GPUs, etc)

May go the Gentoo route. majority of my friends use that as their primary os. peer pressure + compiling your OS is fun

Sounds like a scare tactic. This will only embolden the community.

The company behind os level age verification is Meta: https://github.com/upper-up/meta-lobbying-and-other-findings

You mean they’re complying with Meta’s age verification at OS level lobbying?

ZorinOS is nice to Windows users if you want ui similarity

I thought the 50% stat didn’t filter out repeat offenders.

They’re also profit-incentivized to keep people single and on their platform for as long as possible.

I believe a woman should have the right to abort the child as long as its under 18*12 months.

What if you use it to hack the pentagon, end the war, and put out coordinated social media campaigns to enable people younger than 60 to be elected into in congress?

I’ve been trying to make sense of why multiple systems end up like this and how to design better. At an individual and small community level there’s decent good people. But once group size or resource pooling goes beyond a certain size more than human attention span, etc then rough edges are blown up.

It’s like small groups can operate on trust and direct feedback but once you get too big then rules and proxies start to dominate. And after that people optimize for those local rules instead of total system health.

Also in small groups you have individuals you tie to systems, but once too big you drop that association in addition to empathy when interacting with the system.

Maybe we need a more modular society focused on local good.

Last night I did

The bottleneck was human ego and people not actually having enough experience for designing complex systems. Or people without enough experience setting up people systems that interfere with those who can actually design the systems.

If switching from Windows or Mac and you want to keep similar UI for easy transition, check out ZorinOS. A friend of mine recently installed Zorin OS Core w/ nvidia drivers and is enjoying it so far.

Yeah agreed for most people migrating from Windows should be fine.

I just had a bias since I’m just used to making my own systemd services and udev rules for my work.

Ahh I see. Won’t the immutability impede work? I guess that depends on the type of work. But given OP is switching from Windows for first time it’s unlikely they’ll be wanting to mess that.

yeah Bazzite is also a fine gaming + typical work option

I’m also assuming OP doesn’t want a gaming-only setup / wants to actually have a general purpose use desktop too for work, etc.

Bazzite isn’t well suited as a general purpose work + gaming machine.
