+1 on therapy. Also others are posting about moderation. I would avoid that trap; if we could moderate we wouldn’t be losing control.

Good, there is nothing wrong with the current gen. I want major leaps every few years not marginal improvents every year.

I’m always a little skeptical of anyone who denies conciousness / sentience to animals. We all do stuff based on stimuli.

Also there are layers to conciousness. If you want to make an argument that a fish doesn’t have the same level of higher thought as a human I would agree with you depending on the type of fish, but to assume something operating on a more base level isn’t having their own version of a concious experience is arrogant. Just because we don’t have perfect empirical evidence does not mean it’s not happening; we may need different measuring devices.

Also why are we saying in the moment doesn’t count as conciousness. You can argue that being present in the here and now is one of the most concious experiences we can have.

Don’t changes into proton help both up and downstream? Valve also invests into this project which obviously amplifies the # of people working on it and can only lead to more breakthrus for the side projects associated with this tech.

I started on mint years ago and it was an okay foot in the door, but would not recommend to anyone (including beginners). Fedora is my goto for new users these days. I use arch (btw) and have had much more luck on rolling release.

Not gonna try to convince you off Mint, but it does sound like you’re having issues with it.

Is that a Mint Cinnamon issue primarily?

Sounds like you forgot to instruct it to do a good job.

Yeah, or trim some of the portable apps in medicat since a few are redundant, to make room for a couple more ISOs.

The cool thing with ventoy is you can just drag and drop isos in the folder, no need to reflash.

Ventoy with medicat

Just installed cachy on my partners PC. They just play games, I handle the maintenance.

So far they are impressed at how quick it feels and how fast and unintrusive the system updates are.

I’m not subjecting anyone to anything. I acknowledged that this practice is risky, however these scripts are maintained by a community of other nerds just like every other open source project you enjoy. If you’re going to use these proceed with the same caution you would anything else on the internet, but in my experience they are safe.

Good advice but ime these helper scripts are legit.

People generally want something closer to cutting edge / bleeding edge for games. Can’t be waiting 6 months for graphics drivers that fix an issue in a game you are playing today.

Sounds like you went into it with expectations.

Maybe your warehouse has issues but Costco tire center is top tier

Edit: also forgot to mention their tires come with warranties, free rotations, tps sensors are super cheap compares to the dealership, and they often have other incentives on top of all that.

OP is talking about dreading major kernel updates because shit might break. I’m not talking about tinkering (though I’d argue against that point too, btrfs and timeshift exist).

Arch updates so often I barely even notice a kernel update; I’m certainly not dreading it.

Also side point, super huge updates on arch are normally an indication that you didn’t perform a full system update in a while. If things are going to break it’s when you dont perform regular system maintenance.

No personal experience with Fedora but if that’d been your experience why not shift to Arch (btw) or something similar. Been daily driving for 3~4 years, super stable and always on latest releases.
