Lets me position my mouse right under my keyboard when I feel like it, protects my desk from my peripherals and my wrists/hands/forearms/elbows from my desk. It's just a nice thicc spongy fabric. I personally can't think of a good reason not to have it.

Bought Montech AIR 903 MAX, and after installing there are certain questions I need answered:
1. It came without front dust filter - how thick should I buy the filter - 0.8mm?
2. usb type c has this jack on the end (pic related), but my motherboard doesnt have it - strange, that TUF gaming doesnt have it, or is it somewhatspecial?
3. My case fan cant be set lower than 36% speed, which is 750rpm - i can still hear it and AM annoyed with the sound. Any way to reduce it?

that's the newer kind of usb header (3.1/3.2), you can get adapters if your motherboard only has a usb 3.0 header

I know how you feel little zoomzoom. My mom used to beat me if I did anything wrong (despite sheltering me from everything and never teaching me anything) and also did way too much for me and it made me terrified of anything where I could fail. You need to start forcing yourself to learn, explore, and live life normally instead of as an anxiety-paralyzed robot advertising slave which is unfortunately what you were raised to be. Actually experiencing fucking up helps too.

That too, but they do have some minor local area wifi for communications, since the radio telescope array is decently away (and spread around) from the command centre.
Since ALMA works in the 4 to 0.3 mm range, longer frequencies (such as those from wifi) can be tuned out or compensated if some interference does happen.

Library with various useful tools I consider unnecessary in the standard library.
>graph3.epp
Graphing calculator that uses all cores of your PC to draw a graph you give to it, something like y == sin x.

Welcome to Debian.
Use Fedora if you want to be closer to upstream without going full Arch, and want a major update every 6 months.
Use Ubuntu LTS or Rocky Linux if you want to simulate an enterprise production environment, and want a major update every 2 years.

>>100161558
I ran win10 LTSC on my deck for a while. The install process was gruelling, the whole experience sub-optimal. It mostly worked, but I was pretty quick to re-install SteamOS. Windows without a keyboard/mouse or up-to-date GPU drivers just isn't a good experience, it's not worth it.
>>
Alright, can anyone tell me why they're still having btrfs as default without taking advantage of it in the setup process?
openSUSE had snapshots enabled for centuries now. What's keeping Fedora from setting this up automatically without the user having to do all that shit? What is really the point of btrfs without using snapshots?
>>
>>100161803
>without taking advantage of it in the setup process
By default, / and /home are put on two separate subvolumes, zstd compression is enabled as well. Snapshots are a great feature, but not the sole reason to use btrfs, CoW behaviour, subvolumes and transparent compression are very appealing as well.

In light of >>100140305 especially the conclusions in this reply, >>100140328 do you think the Industry™ will maneuver everything into cloud computing and the masses will eventually just use phones for everything under the auspices that it's better for the environment and only cyber terrorists need powerful GPUs and souped up computers.

Pixel phones now have a desktop environment, similar to Samsung DeX, Apple has made iPads more convenient to use on an external monitor as well. As these things continue to develop and Zoomers & Gen-Alpha consider phones/tablets as their primary computer, won't these trends culminate in the decline of PC desktops.
Furthermore as people get ever-poorer and restricted into a subscription based economy, they could make "powerful machines" cost prohibitive for average earners.

The overwhelming majority of people just use computers to access the internet and maybe use something like office, which they often use online as well. Cloud computing services for video editing, rendering, and gaming keep advancing all the while. By the end of the decade 6G networks are expected to begin rolling out, affording hyper fast low latency connections.
