The software I need doesn't yet work. Tried to run Affinity under Wine and it was a buggy mess sadly, opened a document and half the canvas wouldn't render at all which made it unusable. Apparently Canva is considering porting it to Linux natively so I'll likely wait for it to either work in Wine or the native port, whichever one comes first.

combination of hardware issues and not knowing enough is what prevented me at first

I switched to Linux a little over 20 years ago in late 2005.

I switched because i became fascinated with Linux after reading about it on forums and trying some live CDs. I installed Ubuntu 5.04 and switched away from windows 2000.

It became a fun hobby to tinker with it. I missed windows vista, 7, 8, i never installed or used any of those. I only briefly used windows 10 on a family computer.
Nowadays windows is totally shit, i don't know why you would use it. I have a work laptop with windows 11, whenever im using it it's installing updates and scanning for malware all the time, the fan is blasting like a hairdryer, and when i wake it from suspend the WiFi doesn't reconnect. Wtf happened?

I always dual booted for desktop and used Linux for laptops. With Proton I moved fully to Linux even with Nvidia. Ideally I wanted a 5090 as a VM and a 9090XT or whatever to run my Linux system.
AMD had to shit the bed so I'm waiting for AMD to make a big boy card next gen and have true bliss. I'm not buying a fucking 80 class card with no vram when I have a gpu

>>107542928
can't agree with you more with linux being a fun hobby and whatever the fuck happened with windows nowadays, desu. Also, I've had those wifi problems since w10 actually

>>107535552
You are a fucking snob.

>>107533626
In agree, they were also too stupid to do GPU passthrough which made the seethe more delicious

>>107533626
And they were right. The only difference now is that Linux is far along enough you can isolate your games so it isn't as big of a deal. Back then, outside of VM and dealing with hardware pass through, you had no good and safe way to run games.

Apparently, there is or was a Linux distro named "Einstein OS". See this 2011 video titled "Einstein Linux":

The Jew Albert Einstein didn't invent General Relativity. That honor goes to David Hilbert:
>General Relativity
>Invented by Albert Einstein in 1915? – No!
>David Hilbert completed the general theory of relativity at least five days before Einstein. Despite the fact that he should have been well aware of Einstein's repeated thievery of others' ideas, Hilbert sent a copy of his work to Einstein, who had been stuck and going in circles, and Einstein immediately copied the equations and submitted them for publication as original work. See Winterberg's article, "On ‘Belated Decision in the Hilbert-Einstein Priority Dispute,' published by L. Corry, J. Renn, and J. Stachel" in Zeitschrift für Naturforschung, 59a, 2004, pp. 715-719. --https://archive.is/bjxbO

i am having the shittiest time just trying to back up files from an ntfs drive to an ext ssd while booted to mint on a usb because my os drive failed and i need to make space to my m2 to install an os.
it seems it'll read/write at high speeds for a couple of minutes, then slow down and eventually hang forever. what gives
i've tried zipping up folders before transferring, using rsync instead of cp, changing the mount option to use the old ntsf-3g interface

Recently set up another drive with the latest Fedora KDE Plasma, since Mint wasn't working too well with my Nvidia GPU. My primary usage for Linux is gaming, figured Fedora will do the trick under Wayland and that has been working (mostly).

I've been trying to look into modding on Linux and the mod managers don't work as well as I was hoping with Wine (I'm also retarded and can't reliably use Wine) so I've stopped trying to use a mod manager. Is drag and dropping mods into the game folder still practical?

It works fine enough for web and yt, but when taking into consideration the modern comforts of the X13g4 i bought a short while ago and a few X1's i tested at work, i prefer the modern comforts. Also, the keyboards on the X series are more than fine for modern laptops.

At max brightness?
So does a Macbook.

At this one job interview the boss tells me he's been using Linux ever since version 0.7 or something, very old. I asked if he's ever contributed to the kernel, to which he says "uh no, every time I've wanted to do that, I had something else to take care of".
What are your thoughts on that?

>>107542484
idk if it was important enough to him he would make time for it, assuming he's a busy guy.
Otherwise he either doubts his skills to add something of value or is worried he'll get torn to shreds by Linus if he submits something stupid.
Depends on the guy I guess. If he's a perfectionist and wants to really dig deep into something to understand it and contribute to it, then that's going to take time. If he cares enough to be a contributor he would do that. He maybe is just a Linux user...like most people.

Because there isn't a "hallucenate shit" function.

>, they just look at the transcript of the conversation to see what the AI was 'thinking'.
Yes. Because as you previously identified, examining the trillions of independant calculation that built that "thinking" isn't going to be anywhere near as productive as looking at the output, minimally to reduce the amount of calculation you'll need to sift through, looking at what component the divergence began etc...

>seriously, they are not in control
Seriously. Provision evidence for where I said they are.

>the AI is doing its own learning by itself, its not being taught by humans
It's definitely being taught by humans. For purpose, it scraping human content from the intelliwebs counts.
As for "learning by itself". Well. If it can't think, can it learn? I can prove it doesn't think.

As for "by itself".... You learned to talk. By yourself. Sure, maybe an adult spoke to you like an idiot for a while, breaking down syllables, but *you* did all the learning. They just gave you the pieces, you figured out what to do with them.

>it will be just a helmet type apparatus
They've had that for *some* time now. Actually distinguishing "thoughts", not so much, but they can get individual nerons as they fire, and cause them to fire.

>Basically tapping into the noise and then AI can pull any relevant things out
This is a massive issue, it's just noise.
It makes sense to your particular setup, 'cause your setup is built for it. From it. But when I think of an orange, and you think of an orange, it may light up similar areas of memory cluster, but precise pathing and end destination are unique.

>Think it like a polygraph, but much more accurate
Nowhere that takes judicial procedure seriously would entertain such a device as evidence. There are many documented and historical flaws.

>And yes, the brainchips are the final form
Um. That's how they exist, now. Sure, current tech isn't much more than neural shunt, but there's also interdiction into the digital domain...

I don't even give a fuck about the product anymore. I've found some tools that have limited range of utility, and a whole lot of tools that don't. MCP servers are by and large a joke even after months of hype and concerted effort. Even the "AI elite" companies are keeping their cards close because they know the modest productivity gains have a clearly visible strike point against the cost of the product.

And you know what? That price is about to do a fucking backflip. The notion that inference is cheaper than training has proven disastrously long; the lifecycle inference cost of an average model is 15x higher than its training cost, which is why investors are starting to panic. There is no coasting on this train, it always must power uphill on burned cash.

I am happy to say that in the last few months, I dumped all my long term stock holdings and now I'm basically sitting on a small tranche of RSUs from the last 2 years and my 401k. Otherwise, I'm detached from the market, and that is the right place to be with the day that's about to dawn.
