fedora atomic desktops (silverblue, kinoite, and derivatives like bluefin etc) are really great. They are as up-to-date as fedora, with an additional layer of stability provided by its atomic and image based nature.

my money is on vi or vi derivates.

There are support table on asahi wiki. For example, here is the support page of M2: https://github.com/AsahiLinux/docs/wiki/M2-Series-Feature-Support

It is missing thunderbolt, touch id, video decoder, video encoder, DP alt mode, pro res, PCIE etc.

Then if you care about the artists being compensated fairly, you can CD+rip; if not, streamrip/torrent will produce a lot less waste and much more convenient.

TBH most big names are millionaires anyway, I probably would care much more about my convenience than them getting paid 5 bucks for all my troubles.

If you can download music, you can either host your own using navidrome, or just use a local player like auxio.

The only downside to this approach is that the artists you like might not get compensated fairly, as most streaming service pay by stream times. This is also why I prefer buying music than streaming.

bandcamp is great! you can just pay and download music in whatever format (flac, wav, mp3), no questions asked.

They don’t have the Taylor Swifts of the world, but most indy bands and artists are on there, which is good enough for me.

For classical music, there is presto music, but their download experience is not as straight forward as bandcamp IMO.

I think there is no rule, but I like to mount them on /mnt.

A good discussion can be found here: https://www.reddit.com/r/linuxquestions/comments/u0ri07/where_do_you_usually_mount_your_internal_drives/

/run is a temporary fs, so if the mount, filesystem or even the entire system crashed, all the mounted data will be cleaned up after a reboot.

On the contrary, if the mount crashed, it might leave a folder or data on /media, making subsequent mount problematic.

Here is a well-written comment about the rationale behind this mount point: https://www.reddit.com/r/linuxquestions/comments/tzo984/comment/i40e2za/

except nowadays many distro mounts removable media under /run/media instead of /media (for good reason).

From my read, this is not even for marketing, but mainly for feedback to improve framework products. Framework will also have merch packages for the ambassador.

These ambassadors would attend linux conferences anyways, framework just want them to communicate to frameworks when anyone have any feedback.

I am okay with this.

divest has all the graphene hardening and have unprivileged microg, it also runs on a much wider range of devices.

Last time I tried ChatGPT it cannot even do a trie in Haskell, so I don’t see any way it is useful for me, unfortunately. IIRC, I was testing with some trivial modification of a trie, but I do not remember at this point.

Maybe it is useful for college homework, but I have yet to find any problem it can solve beyond college. But I would love to learn more, since you have more experience with it. :)

Edit: I tried a problem I encountered couple month ago on https://perplexity.ai. I want to implement a parser in Haskell that do not halt on error, but record the error and keeps going.

It should take 2 lines with mtl, and the AI gives me a more verbose answer that is also completely wrong.

So… I don’t see how they are helpful, honestly. Sorry.

I don’t get the hype around LLM, it is a terrible way to search. It has never give me anything useful on any of my search, ever.

Most of the time asking chatgpt anything non-trivial, it will just spit out gibberish that doesn’t mean anything.

Who in their right mind would look at these terribly stupid thing and think: Yeah! This garbage is going to advance humanity.

Hum, on retrospect, my ISO might be just corrupted. I have never tried to redownload it.

I never know gnome has a image writer tool, and would you please let me know what “dd” stands for?

recently I have encountered a problem with this, it is indeed not so straightforward to create a bootable windows 10 USB instillation media under linux.

The media created by fedora media writer is not bootable and the media created by ventoy lacks drivers. I was then able to create a media quite easily with the last windows machine in my household. I don’t know if it is a temporary bug or fundamental incompatibility.

So I would suggest you to keep a windows installation media at hand in case you need to switch back, or make sure at least one of your friend has a windows machine you can borrow.

And this is the real game of monopoly, of course.

Sorry, sir, I like shit.

I imagine it wouldn’t hurt as much as a whip, but probably equally intimidating.

Dare I ask which country speaks words that cannot be truer.

Edit: saw your instance…
