Give default Mint with Cinnamon. Even if its just a VM test. Everything is just pretty good out of the box. It's pretty much the Debian equivilent of Fedora. I haven't noticed any bugs or jank with Cinnamon. I'm on latest though.

seems like debian only offers 550.xx.yy, is there a way to get 565.xx.yy or newer? or is that a recipe to get a frankendebian?

>>107695855
Nvidia does have Linux downloads, but I don't know how well they work on various distros, so I'll wait for others to offer their opinions. But it wouldn't be a frankendebian; a frankendebian is when you run a mix of releases, like half of your system from stable and the other half from unstable.

Yeah, one of the main marketing things it loved to meme about was "you can re-use your old DDR memory" when upgrading to DDR2.
Also that's DDR-400, not DDR2-400. DDR2-400 is from 2003, DDR400 is older.

Reminder of the following:

1. Google will merge ChromeOS and Android to form a FOSS Linux-based desktop OS that will be 100% free to download and use.

https://www.androidauthority.com/aluminium-os-android-for-pcs-3619092/

2. Windows will be severely affected by this new, totally free competitor and will bleed marketshare.

3. All existing Linux desktop environments will be totally outclassed by Google's top secret desktop UI and underlying OS. Even Linux users will give up on shit like Mint and just use Google's desktop for their daily driver OS.

2026 will finally be the year of the Linux desktop, and it will be because Google will do to desktops what they did to phones.

You know it's coming. Don't act like this was a surprise.

>Terrible compared to what?
To Macos and Windows. I don't talk about the features, stability and performance. User interface as spacings, typography, iconography is just terrible. Kde looks like it was made by a developer who never designed anything in his live, without any designer's help.
>>
>>107695894
But modern Windows is much worse and Windows has the worst font rendering out of the box and the worst DPI scaling (compared to KDE on Wayland).
In UI design the corners are "infinite targets" and old Windows took advantage of that putting the program menu in top left, window buttons on top right, start in bottom left and show desktop at bottom right.
The pajeets at Microsoft then decided a centered taskbar and start menu is what people actually wanted - literal cargo cult engineering, they did not understand why things used to be laid out in a particular way and changed them to make a shittier version that looks more "modern".
>>
>>107695982
>But modern Windows is much worse
It's not. And again, I'm talking about the visual design. The most basic graphic design stuff such as font size, size of the elements, spaces between elements, colors and contrast. It's just doesn't look like a finished product but more like a product demo that shows that it works.
>>107695982
>The pajeets at Microsoft then decided a centered taskbar and start menu is what people actually wanted - literal cargo cult engineering, they did not understand why things used to be laid out in a particular way and changed them to make a shittier version that looks more "modern".
There is different use cases and solutions for interface problems. Centered taskbar/dock make sense on big displays. Especially on sizes when you never run any windows fullscreen.

it was not obvious at the time that EUV machines were the way to go. See Intel.
calling TSMC a "economics" company is too reductive. They had to make the right decision without knowing how hellish all of the options really were.

government industrial policy is what shapes your industries.
the 40s to the 2000s were a period of extreme government interference in industry all over the world.
Germany lost their solar power dominance to China after eliminating environmental subsidies.
Japan nearly overtook America in manufacturing in nearly all sectors because of policies pushed by MITI.
In America, trains don't get built because of politics (HOAs, zoning, etc). it's because people don't want them, not because we can't make them.
In China, trains get built because all land is technically owned by the government and you only have a 99 year lease to it. They use eminent domain with impunity whereas with us, eminent domain is followed immediately by a lawsuit.
In America, companies succeed by finding industries that have little to no regulation and then going hard into it.
See SpaceX and other's plans to build data centers in space. They want to build them there because regulations on land are too restrictive, not because building in space is inherently better.
>>
>>107696011
to more directly answer the train question:
you have a product whose design requires the input from hundreds of stakeholders, because it has to go through *their land*
even just one stakeholder can hold the entire product hostage by refusing to play nice.
this results in a prisoner's dilemma scenario where every individual player is motivated to fuck up the project to squeeze out unwarranted concessions, and since every player presses the button, the projects always run out of time and money and fizzle out.
lesson: never build anything of importance through committee
>>
>>107696085
Why do many European countries avoid such severe problems with trains? Less powerful local governments?

Web devs were never replaced by prompts. Web devs were replaced by mass outsourcing and visa mongering. Same thing with tech support - back in the 80s tech support/entry level IT infrastructure was a ticket to the good life in the US. You could start at some call center doing remote dial-up support for a phone company and get paid well and find all kinds of opportunities into management or deeper level telecoms/networking work. AI itself is a red herring being placed into the narrative by glorified terrorists to hide the fact that they aren't replacing you with technology, they're replacing you with third world scabs. Only a decade ago this board was full of STEMfags bragging about landing six figure web development roles and these posts stopped long before AI prompts

The contrarianism wrapped around that some anons are taking up pro-reddit comments just to show off how special they are.
Like your archetypical redditor is a turbo loser while your archetypical 4chan user is a cool loser who is unafraid of anything but then the chitwood arrests happened and exposed a lot of anons looking like shit. I figured this would happen eventually.

Hey /g/, maybe you can help me here. What's the best gloves to prevent gamer gunk buildup? I recently changed from a 8 year old G610 keyboard to a G915 X keyboard simply due to it being easier to clean,as well as the G610 keycaps kept breaking, but mice? I don't trust myself disassembling them without breaking something. I've tried copper compression gloves but I absolutely hate the feeling of them when worn.

I do. Maybe too much. I wash them any time I touch something slightly filthy, any time before I eat, any time I use the bathroom.

I just had your DESKTOP pop randomly into my mind with the thought that often you have several VMs running and maybe several DESKTOPS and it just hit me that all of those VMs and DESKTOPS are like areas/rooms in a GAME REALM and each one has its own VIBE and FACTORS, ETC. and since our CREATIVE TOOLS are tied deeply into our PSYCHES that's breddy interesting. I don't "do enough stuff" to warrant VMs and multiple DESKTOPS but if I did that's WUT i wud DO.

For AI, nvidia+linux is actually the best and most supported combination, even the most obscure shit you pull off github will work unless it demands too much vram.

It's vaguely like this for AI
>nvidia+linux 10/10
>nvidia+win 8/10 the big stuff works but a little slower, some stuff won't work
>amd+linux 4/10 rocm and hip sucks
>amd+win 0/0 rocm doesn't even exist lmao

For gaming it's flipped, AMD > Nvidia on Linux but Nvidia > AMD on Windows. The differences are a lot smaller than with AI though. If you have the wrong config a lot of AI stuff will just not work at all or run like absolute shit.
