Nice! Sound like you’re on the right track, though might want to keep a live cd image on hand in case Windows decides to take over your boot options until you can finally squash it. xP

Try out some live boot disks then. Several flavors of linux will just boot up, and give you the option to install from within the booted OS. I forget which ones lwt you change things and basically treat them like normal, but some will even carry over any made changes right through the install (if you tell it to, anyways).

Then, you’ll just have to identify any critical applications you need and see if they run on linux, or have any viable alternatives that do, or worst case try to run the windows flavor through Wine or proton or so.

If you need stability above all, I’d recommend avoiding the bleeding edge distros or the young ones that are changing a lot. It sounds odd, but I’ve been digging MX Linux a lot, and I’ve tried a good few flavors over the years. It’s based on Debian Stable, so it’s repos won’t be the bleeding edge, but it has that classic Debian “Just Works” going for it. The only bugs I’ve had have been issues from Wayland that also affect other distros.

I dunno’ what the problem is. You cannot get syphilis if it’s just your piss hitting the toilet and surrounding area.

lol as if it was ever your money after you handed it over to corporations under capitalism… nono you absolute fool… that’s THEIR money now, regardless of whether it was a critical thing you needed to live.

rofl tell me you do not understand how FB got started without telling me…

That shit’s been a privacy nightmare from the beginning.

Zuck has been selling personal info from basically day 1. He’s been abusing people since day 1.

The day people realize convenience does not equal good is the day humanity grows up from a petulant child to a moronic teenager… Too bad it’s looking more and more like we’ll never make it past, “petulant child”.

Yea, I mostly said it as that was the context of the convo from, “go back to reddit”. Really, “telling someone off” politely and with info is hardly telling them off at all.

It’s the HOA Karens that run politics, so you do the math on how well that’d work out.

Which is exactly why it shouldn’t be condoned or supported.

When your motivation doesn’t extend past stupid ape brain, you’re doing it wrong.

Nah, this was a bit nebulous of a discussion since the original comment wasn’t exactly spelling out their intent.

After a few more replies, it looks like they weren’t trying to say bad ideologies should be tolerated in any form, more of just saying the, “go back to reddit” stuff is indeed stooping to a low that only the too intolerant use.

In the off-chance that someone is merely parroting bigotry/ideology that they were awash in and don’t truly believe, it is always better to tell them off in ways that don’t tokenize and reduce them to a charicature of the ideology. Especially don’t dismiss them in ways that allow them to dismiss you just as easily. “Go back to reddit” is tokenizing your own response, which just fuels division and enlightens noone.

Yes, though as the person you’re responding to is trying to point out, using the Paradox of Tolerance to tolerate the intolerable because of some appeal to hypocrisy is exactly not how to use the paradox of tolerance.

While hypocrisy is an important part of the lessons to take from it, the hypocrisy parts are supposed to be about not stooping to their level in the process of not tolerating them as opposed to having to tolerate them.

But that is unironically reddit behavior to use such insulting and dismissive language rather than saying… “such talk is not welcome here”.

Immaturity shouldn’t be acceptable, even from the “correct” opinion holder.

Nahh, this seems exactly like something that would happen from advanced text predictors, which is exactly what ALL of these LLM “AI” are. The instructions are in English, no doubt. Of course there is a strong association with English words despite, “in Mexican” surely being somewhere in the “instructions”.

This is just more ELIZA effect in action… Fucking braindead execs/etc failing to understand that it is literally just advanced text prediction that’s fed through a TTS “AI” driven system, that’s surely given just as tenuouse of a connection to Spanish as the text predictor…

(I know your comment seems aware of that fact given the AGI slamming, I just had to vent in a way that describes why it’s such bullshit)

Nahhhhh, that bitch would have you as a milk maid and/or breeding sow before he’d make your life anything worth enjoying.

You can really tell the people that still operate on that mindset. “Number must go up” is apparently pretty stupid motivation in most contexts!

Also clean the filter in the bottom. Do not forget proper maintenance or you’ll just be cursing him for not listening to advice he does give.

It doesn’t comprehend anything. That’s the damn point.

Though it WILL “understand” what you did by the algorithms that break down code turning the variable into another token. So all you’re really doing is costing yourself more time and money in the slop machine.

No, that’s schwifty five. XQc is just a clown.

Not that I’ve noticed. It’s a 1060 vs an old Intel integrated, so I’d hope I’d immediately notice a game running like sludge, although I’ve been staying away from truly demanding ones on it.

Only thing that’s annoying is the USB4 dock crashes the laptop if I unplug it, but my limited research on that is pointing at a Wayland bug, something about a display’s frame buffer disappearing.

Stockholm would require the situation to be bad in some way. It is not.

Use a distro that has automated install of the drivers. MX Linux was just running a provided program (that ran in a terminal but eh) and rebooting, and off I went gaming. I think some of the other gaming-specific distros can also install them for you.
