  • I always recommend Fedora or Debian these days. Eventually you get anything running with those.

    But yeah, Ubuntu makes it easy for nvidia, but is also has snaps.

    Anyway, I would always go with a main distro instead of something that is based on them. You’re just a bit closer to upstream. That’s at least my opinion. So far, it did not fail me.

    I have noticed, people just leave their chair when I arrive. I sit down, do the thing they did themselves the whole time without getting it to work and it starts to work at first try. Sometimes, idk, what they were doing but they are happy to carry on.

    This happens more often on Windows than on Linux. Linux users seem to have more real problems. ^^ On the other hand, at my place there is a lot more Windows than Linux on desktops.

    the four of us. I have a desk job but 1/3 of my tasks require manual labor.

    I don’t look online in advance what there will be to eat in the cafetaria, but I know what I like and quickly decide on site, sometimes based on the shortest queue. Most of my fellow workers look at the menu in advance and then still need a lot of time at the cafetaria to actually decide for it. Maybe they enjoy the lunch break more? Idk.

    I do this when asked for my ticket in public transport. I’ll wait until they are in front of me. When they walk away before I am ready, I put my ticket back so that they have to come back and wait until I am ready. I think, public transport should be free and financed only by taxes. I may have helped people who just forgot to get a ticket or need to catch the train quickly and still waiting for the app to validate their ticket.

    Only for longer trips accross the country I prepare my ticket in advance. I can’t explain it.

    This is how I get almost 3 days out of an iPhone 13 mini:

    1. data safer on; certain apps blocked to use mobile internet as well.
    2. battery always in low power mode; this also prevent apps from doing stuff in the background
    3. wifi and LTE/5G/4G only on when I actively use my phone or cannot miss a reply I am waiting for
    4. lowest brightness setting as the base in a dark room and adaptive brightness from there
    5. no automatic app updates to safe on data plan and battery. updates only with wifi at home
    6. download favourite music instead of streaming (apple music can do that). hear music offline. do nothing else while listening to it.

    We have a center speaker for that. In the AV receiver we set it to be louder in relation to the other speakers; that helped in a lot of movies and did not hurt the immersion of the movie.

    Now, why do most male actors mumble so much?
