Linux Mint is definitely a plus, as it is easy to use and more free than Ubuntu and definitely more free than Zorin. It’s also vintage enough to run on older computers just fine, though I recommend MATE or XFCE spin for the RAM poor

Linux is like that spider swatting meme where the spider gets squished, and then it explodes into a million smaller spiders that run every direction.

Linux Mint is good, but it, like Ubuntu and Debian, are “vintage” linuxes that are very behind on software versions. Things are moving very fast right now with a lot of back end linux stuff changing rapidly to support more people and programs coming off Windows. Fedora is the best “middle ground” in that it’s not Arch bleeding edge, but it is also not Debian stable “vintage”.

You do need to install RPM Fusion for Fedora to go from nvidia open source driver to nvidia proprietary driver, though.

KDE is a fully featured desktop that will give you familiarity with Windows-like layouts. Some other desktops, like GNOME, tend to reinvent the wheel and have very different desktop workflows. You’ll have to boot the live discs / sticks and poke around to understand what I mean.

To make a boot disc, use an 8GB+ usb stick and rufus - https://rufus.ie/

Fedora has been implementing an optional ML API. It’s up to you if you install it or not.

This tier list looking quite sus

slap the tailscale ips into your dns entries then. I do that.

Yes, also Tailscale already provides hostname dns for every device on your tailscale net.

Yeah, it technically works, but requires telling ROCm you have a 6800 XT instead

Add YellowDog and Clear Linux to the valley of the lost

RX 7600, comes in 8gb and 16gb variants. GL getting anything that isn’t ancient for under $200

Move TempleOS to a floating sky temple, and make where it is Portable Bay, where various portable linux ships are moored, named Knoppix (a galleon), Puppy Linux (a fishing boat), Slax (a little sailboat), and TinyCore (a rowboat or kayak)

The first Unifi Video NVR. It was a device with an Atom D525, running Debian 6, when Debian 6 was about to EOL. It went on the market for 6 months and then was pulled.

Definitely worth it. Runs exceptional woth GOS

Ah, yes, here come the “just use your old car because EVs are worse for the environment than the Exxon Valdez or something” posts

That is a myth thoroughly debunked by just a little bit of research and data collection into the making and driving of EVs, as that assumption ran off an old study that used guesstimated worst-case scenario numbers and don’t really reflect what the actual numbers are.

If you want to avoid being tracked, you will have to disconnect the data modem somehow - it is part of your radio antenna. If it gets no power, it gets no connection. Either disconnect from the telematics unit, or at the antenna. Also, you can disconnect your telematics unit itself - the “black box” that lives under the dash and records your driving. Some aftermarket makers have “dummy plug” connectors which will trick the car into thinking it is connected. These are often used with aftermarket head units.

Beware that some cars are tracked by your financial lender, and they don’t like it when this happens. Some other cars actually have to be cloud connected once in a while or they stop working - which is the worst thing modern cars can do.

Somebody once told me…

Lower the postgre to 8GB and see what happens? Also, hard drives, ssds, or nvme ssds? Recent info suggests it is possible memcaching is actually slower than direct access to nvme ssd
