It’s just bad practice to even post such a thing. Especially with an influx of new users to linux, it appears so often it makes it seem like that’s normal behavior.
It’s like…a gun salesman handing a purchase to a customer barrel first, finger on the trigger. Like yeah, it’s not loaded, nothing is going to happen, but that’s just terrible practice.
All of that was introduced in 2004. When you said “25 years ago” I assumed you meant the original P4 from 2000.
Negative, Pentium 4 was x86 and thus could only address 32 bits.
64bit CPUs started hitting the mainstream in 2003, but 64bit Windows didn’t take off until Win7 in 2009. (XP had it, but no one bothered switching from 32b XP to 64b XP just to use more memory and have early adoption issues. Vista had it, but no one had Vista).
PEBKAC.
But seriously, she needs to understand that, even though she (presumably) taught you how to tie your shoes, you don’t keep having her tie them for you. At some point there is no problem except that she isn’t accepting the solution.
Keeping with the analogy, if a person just refuses to tie shoes, not wearing shoes is always an option…
I think they’re just asking, from a categorical imperative perspective, what is the most effective way for all individuals with a bit of savings to help the climate situation.
And tbh, at this point OP is probably better off spending that $10k on preparing for:
At this point, there’s virtually nothing that can be done to stop the impact of climate change, there is only adapting to survive it. The best we can do is vote and/or hope for our global political situation to finally reach its inevitable crisis point. But I don’t expect that to be a pleasant experience.
I’m not seeing Elden Ring anywhere in the top voted posts, but if you’re looking for something like BotW, you should consider it. Always somewhere new to explore and very non-linear. The lore of the world is insanely rich, but there basically is no story.
Tunic is awesome. Lots of exploration and lots of secrets to find. Don’t look anything up, it’s a very unique experience.
Hollow Knight is the first metroidvania I liked. Great exploration, but it’s not exactly going to test the limits of your rig. Similar to the Souls games, lots of lore, little story.
Rimworld is so non-linear it’s literally a story simulator. It creates unforgettable experiences and has infinite replayability. You can save and quit at any moment, so it’s good if you only have an hour or two (but you could easily put hundreds of hours into it).
And I want to echo others who said Outer Wilds, RDR2, BG3, and CP2077.
Outer Wilds is an unforgettable experience, but has very low replayability. Everything is knowledge based, and playing the game means figuring everything out for the first time (so be sure not to look anything up).
But it’s all exploration, it has an excellent story, and I would recommend it to anyone.
Any specific features made you go fish over others like zsh?
Don’t you mean santorum?
Or 1 step even further and use a btrfs partition with subvolumes for root, home, etc. Then you’re not even stuck with a specific amount of disk space for each. (But you may be limited depending on the specific distro installer support for btrfs. In theory you can always just mount the subvols yourself and point the installer at them, but YMMV).
I recommend keeping a separate boot partition though.
There was a time when there was an annual “Linux Sucks” presentation that I liked because it was a roundup of candid, yet constructive criticism of Linux (and then at some point the person running that went off the deep end and started yelling about woke agendas).
I wouldn’t mind there being a whole community devoted to pointing out shit that is poorly designed or just broken when running linux, and we as a community then try to fix them or find workarounds.
But as others have pointed out, that community isn’t a community, it’s literally just one account hanging out by themselves.
It is not “hurting children” to help them understand their underlying assumptions.
