Jensen is the real singularity.

I was recently listening to someone (can’t remember who sorry) talking about the doom porn being intentional - AI companies can’t admit that their software is buggy crap that doesn’t work as advertised and that progress is stagnating (which would tank shares) so instead go on about how AI will kill us all so that they have an easy excuse to ‘slow’ progress so they can white knight save us from the terrible, horrible, murderous, genocidal, dooms day AI (please don’t look behind the curtain).

You know that there ate Eco friendly alternatives right? And we could have had them sooner, more variety and better technology if it hadn’t been for the oil barrons suppressing anything not crude oil based.

Having a public transport/cycling/pedestrian centric society doesn’t mean you get rid of private vehicle ownership in totality. It just means private vehicles are more for people who actually need them (like folks in rural areas) than pointless status symbols and the like. Also I’ve lived rural and known people who’ve had vehicle cooperatives (vehicles are shared) that worked out better for everyone.

Thanks, I hate it

Kiwiland or Aussie?

Have you considered going DEless? Its been a while since I did but back then I was able to get a modern looking system with Openbox (amongst others but thats what I settled on). I dont know what the state of DEless windows managers are these days but I’ve seen some very nice looking setups. Might be something to consider?

MX on a laptop. It just works™. I have Artix (Dinit) on my PC. Also happy as a clam with that. My only regret is not switching sooner.

But those phones are mini computers, some of which people use as an actual desktop.

We have a now many years old Odroid that stills runs our media server, AdGuard Home, XMPP, and several other services.

It runs DietPi.

I used Arch for 10 years and in that time I could literally count on one hand how many times my system broke. Three of those times were user error. I was on CachyOS for about a year and a half and never once had issues. Now on Artix and I’ve once had my system get borked once (due to one package that was an easy downgrade). I’d hardly call 3 system borks in ~13 years “inevitable instability”. Rolling release =/= constant breakage. I wish this myth about Arch and Arch based distros would die.

I agree about Cachy’s improvements being meh. I noticed very little improvement (barely perceptible if at all) going from Arch to Cachy. I mostly stayed with it as long as I did for convenience.

It doesn’t. Yet. Hopefully it never will. But given how in on it Red Hat and the US govt is it could only be a matter of time.

As others have said, any distro with KDE Plasma. If you care about age verification then steer clear of Red Hat associated distros like Fedora. Mint is also straightforward.

My phone does not have expandable memory and storage is expensive in my country anyway.
