I use Debian and Mint. As others have said, it’s because it just works and I don’t have to screw with it.

Or don’t. Generative AI is good for specific use cases, but not this massive bullshit people keep using it for.

Given that it didn’t exist yet, more like an Undertale rip off

Pretty much the same, although I boot my Linux desktop, Linux laptop, and Steam Deck. My whole house besides my wife’s PC is all Linux now.

No it’s not. It’s sad.

My opinion is Microsoft better watch the fuck out, because Linux is coming for their asses in gaming. If Linux can break even 10% of the gaming market, it’s going to get crazy momentum behind it.

There are a lot of things encroaching on Microsoft these days. Death by a thousand cuts.

While that may be “an option”, 5G sucks compared to coax service.

Both are inferior to fiber by a long shot, but wired will always be better than cellular, which is limited spectrum and inconsistent.

Anker smoke. Don’t breath this.

I second this, although some of the bosses can be quite a challenge.

What are you even talking about? Debian is fine and extremely stable, which is what you want for a work PC when your pay is on the line.

Nuke Manjaro and install SteamOS on it: A decent, if dated hardware, handheld.

I was more saying cheap “when companies moved in”. Now it just has the workforce and supply chain knowledge/infrastructure because of those investments.

Corporate fucktard assholes are running out of cheap labor around the world. They keep moving it around, but eventually there won’t be any place to go.

“Unfounded US propaganda”.

Are you saying China DIDN’T aggressively take over Hong Kong and all of the businesses that operated there?

Xi is the head of the government in a totalitarian, communist regime. Just because he might be “leaving BYD alone” or whatever today does not mean that couldn’t change in an instant.

The United States is its own form of screwed up and is an absolute mess. I’m not sitting over here going 'US good. China bad". I’m making the point they’re both bad in different ways.

Foreign investment was because of cheap labor and companies being subsidized by the communist government…

BYD might make a better car than Tesla, but saying that a Chinese company isn’t “under the control of Xi Jinping”, the guy who crushed Hong Kong for having too much independence and wants to do the same with Taiwan, is laughable.

I think you missed the joke.

…uh…cool…

What a joke. Development for 10 years and you just cancel it like a fart in the wind. I’d be utterly ashamed at that kind of mismanagement.

AI has been a net-negative for society.

Oh…huh…I didn’t even know we had cake days on Lemmy. Haha. Thanks.
