average user at using the command line to install flatpak.

Kubuntu require you to use a command line to get flatpaks? Usually it is just a toggle in a package manager. I think Fedora is on by default.

Wait, this seems completely backwards.

Windows: Here is some forum post to some rando's software. SomeShit.exe. Should I install it?

As opposed to Linux: I look in the category of the software I am interested in, click install.

And as far as breaking... I use linux because it doesn't break. I don't have time for windows bullshit.

I would think you would want to do that in python anyways, regardless of the OS. I suppose it might be relative to what you want to do, there are several monte carlo applications for linux but they are focused on certain fields. Whats yours?

Last I checked Rhino was gold in winedb. Did something change?

But I set up work machines when I need windows. Using corporate licensing help set some pretty good group policies. Then I just remote into them when I need to use something or work on something windows related. You can keep an instance in the cloud or a physical box, whatever works for you.

Remoting in with a linux machine on a semi decent connection is about the same as being there.

Just switch to Linux.

This is like saying "put some salve on the wrists where the shackles are binding you". For fucks sake just walk away from the abusive computing relationship.

Schools near me have shifted high school start times to later. Its been that was for years now.

It is really weird to see it in mainstream news now, and even RFK is for it (that fucking weirdo).

I thought letting teens sleep in late was blue state woke and would never be nationwide.

Fox news found a Hypnotist that said teens should sleep later. A hypnotist... really fox? Even when they are right they are still stupid fucks.

But we don’t have a society where it’s safe to let teens run around by themselves,

Really? By all accounts it is safer now than ever AND has tracking if you want. Add to that the fact that every teen I know left to their own devices would not bother running around anyways. They would stay at their computer/tablet/phone as long as they could.

I am not sure what that has to do with what I said.

I guess it reinforces what I said? If they cant afford an emergency, why are they getting into more debt? Maybe if they didnt take out the car loans in the first place they could....

Maybe, but the average car payment for people who don't take out loans to buy cars is... Zero.

Auto insurance in the us is nuts.

But having to have a car and having to have car payments are two different things. Boggles my mind what people are willing to take loans for. Save the money and buy it, or don't buy it at all.

Apparently it's really good. I think I have it on my steam deck. But I recently just dusted off a ps3 (which has a ps1 built in) made it network ready and viola.

Why did they have to provide support? That is the part that is confusing. You could say they can't get anything done due to bug requests and can't seperate the spam from the ham, but nobody makes anyone do support.

Lol can't read the verge article and can't read the archive one either.

The internet is so fucking dead.

Captchas that don't work, next to a reminder that to keep from seeing this I should run antivirus.

I am on a damn PHONE! No VPN, just a standard internet connection.

So sick of this shit, I want early 2000's internet back.

I too think you should remove windows. But if you don't want to, take a clonezilla image of your hard drive now. Store it somewhere else of course. You then can always recover if this scheme gets weird.

Its the first thing I do when I get a new laptop. Then wipe windows. Then install Linux. If I have hardware issues I can simply restore windows for warranty.

In any case, I would pick one of those two Linux to be a primary. You don't want to get rid of mint or make it a VM. Ok third option: distrobox it.

I consider them both clowns. Who the fuck uses twitter anymore?

Clown 1 was correct, but still, arguing on the shit pile is still just standing on the shit pile.

I remember the same thing when they replaced they dark room, light tables, plate makers, and eventually the printers and went digital. They said the same thing back then. I was one of the last ink and print and manual design and hand drawn artist left in our company.

But, oh well. Things change. This is what computers do.

From what I gather during the discussion about Vogue, is people are realizing that AI isn't the problem, it is the fact that there aren't even any places that actually sell anything in person anymore. It either cheap walmart/target garbage, or you have to try things on via delivery. Vogue going AI means those patterns, textures, and designs don't even really exist. So whats to even try on anymore?

Fedora is sponsored by Redhat it is true. Not the only sponsers of course. And I get that Redhat is IBM (sadly). I would be a lot more concerned if Redhat was under Oracle, so while IBM isn't great, it could be worse.

But other than that, it is a community driven model, I don't believe they take direction from Redhat or exclusively obfuscate or hamper OSS because of Redhat.

I mean if you go down this rabbit hole, take a look at all the major contributors and sponsors for the linux kernel itself....

Fedora.

Possibly Open Suse

As a first distro why make it more complicated?

BTW: Never Ubuntu.

CachyOS, at the end of the day feels and acts like a bleeding edge linux distro. Fedora on the other hand hides all of that and yet is also bleeding edge. I usually get packages BEFORE CachyOS with Fedora (matter of days usually, but just highlighting how current it usually is).

It became corporate thats what happened. About 15 years ago I took a cab in Vegas. My driver was a long since retired back up singer. He told me stories of working with all sorts of Vegas acts, Sinatra and so on.

He then got a bit wistful about the old times. He said he missed old Vegas. He missed the mob. He said when the mob ran Vegas you knew where you stood and the mob knew to simply take a little off the top year after year.

Then he said the corporations moved in. And everyyear they squeeze. Take more and more, it never stops. They are the ones who invited families in and squeezed some more. Raised the prices on everything, made the odds worse if the could on slots, built giant building and increased the prices for rent and nickle and dimed every single service they could.

And year after year it was never enough, they just kept squeezing and increasing prices.
