I’m not talking about starscream

ai is owned and marketed by completely evil people.

When I first looked into linux, I found heaps of recommendations for ubuntu, mint, zorin, pop, and fedora, but none of them seemed right (for various reasons), so I distrohopped until I found something that made sense. It’s easy enough if you use ventoy, and if you have a spare drive, or even enough space on a drive to make some 50GB (ish) ext4 partitions. Even easier if using 2.5" sdd’s since you can very easily disconnect your windows drive to avoid potential weirdness.

I don’t use da vinci resolve, it doesn’t sound linux friendly, aside from on rocky os (which I know nothing about)

The usual option is to look for alternatives to da vinci, such as kdenlive. Alternatives are not always of interest, or considered viable for some users of course.

I distrohopped to end up with it a few years ago, and distrohopped again this year, it’s still the only one that ticks the boxes for me. Never had any issues with it, on 3 systems.

amd zen 6 was mentioned, this is the 1st time I have seen it mentioned for a while, so I did a web search and straight away… ai bollocks, which is also the 1st thing you see when you go to their website.

the pc I am writing this on is all amd, and given the choice out of amd, intel, or nvidia, the choice would still be amd, but I would rather a decent choice existed, one from a different country would be a good start.

“She continued that Munich had switched away from Linux because a new government got Microsoft to agree to make Munich the headquarters for Microsoft Germany.”

just human things…

manjaro, unless you can’t handle the plethora of meme type people telling you it is terrible, and downvoting you as if they have a point. It is the logical entry point if you want an arch base. https://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=manjaro

garuda is also decent, some of their versions are over the top shiny, but mokka, and kde lite are much easier on the eye. https://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=garuda

bluestar might also interest you, I have it installed, but haven’t looked into it much yet. https://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=bluestar

Even when I was back on windows, my data was always stored on a separate physical drive, I do the same now on linux, and will never understand why anyone would choose to store the 2 on the same drive (unless they only have 1 drive).

I didn’t use ‘my documents’ and I don’t use ‘home’ either. No doubt there are some benefits to doing so though.

Agreed, distro hopping is the best way to find what you like, and learn along the way, but if a distro isn’t easy to install, it isn’t for newbies, or for me a few years in.

re: amd

#wankers

Their post here says that they built it sis.

What do you mean “besides the claude coauthor”?

How is it a claim, when it is clearly stated? (although not stated in the post here, because captain slop wants to pretend otherwise).

Recent photo of linus

ai is very much a capitalism problem, it is owned, and pushed by the worst people, while also allowing lazy morons to do things beyond their understanding. The powers that be know all too well how to manipulate the public, and they own the media.

Graphene is often referred to as a hacker os for instance

I’ve always had a bad habit of reading the comments on youtube

With tech channels I started off following linus, and a lot of the other famous/popular youtubers (Jays nonsense, paul, whostheboss, brownlee, unbox, canucks, gamers nexus, der8aur, optimum etc, now my tech subscription list is much smaller than my blocklist, only a couple of those still followed. The tech space isn’t what I believe it should be, but pc’s are built around shiny lights now so…

Aside from turning a lot of it into crap, it will push people away from open source (I already assume that everything posted under open source on lemmy, reddit etc is now ai trash, and a lot of it is immediately called out), it will also be used as a way for open source to be labelled as unsafe, and unregulated, leading to more and more hurdles, and giving the big corporations more, and more control.

It’s a long time ago, I don’t remember the specifics of the video, and probably didn’t like his video (partially) due to it being just another one jumping on the ltt screwdriver bandwagon, that sh*t was everywhere, I tend to block channels that have linus’s munted head in their thumbnails these days.

I do remember jeff having a weird bunch of fans hanging off of his every word, I wondered who this guy was, and why he seemed so famous, but I had never heard of him. I have seen some of his videos since, he seems like a twat, unfortunately common in the pc tech space.

Handy tip, hopefully I remember that one

So he has ungoogled chromium, and floorp as top tier, uses them, but doesn’t see them as the best

Then he has vivaldi, watefox, librewolf, and zen in 2nd tier, but they are the best ones?

It’s like a tier list on reddit, someone just wanting to look at the pretty pictures while not making much sense

Some obvious omissions too: firedragon, mullvad, tor, ddg

ai will be the death of open source.
