Wouldn’t that wipe my current data? Like, sure I can install Bazzite, but there’s more setup to be done once again, and if I dislike it then I’m going through the setup once more. I understand it’s not that hard all things considered, but it’s not necessarily easy to just go mucking around with it with limited free time.

I started with mint, but the more I see about Bazzite the more I wish I had started there. It just seems slightly more aligned to my needs.

I honestly feel like the “you’re trying to hard to pronounce the country/city/food name” vibe is silly anyways. If they pronounce it “Bærthélōnã” in Barcelona, then why shouldn’t I try to pronounce it that way? Especially these days in our hyper-connected world, I don’t really have an excuse of “well I never knew they said it that way”.

Or it’s brewing up excuses for declining sales.

I’m so confused. Couldn’t you always pick what track you wanted to play?

Which ones are you running?

I mean, it’s not in the news anymore, but it’s definitely talked about. Businesses need to decide if they’re hosting on-prem or in the cloud, and if it’s cloud they’ll want to decide which provider, etc etc. It’s just become part of the system.

I can think of a few ways to do that too

Hell yeah! Make sure to download it for preservation reasons as well.

I love the idea, but until stuff simplifies significantly that’s simply not happening. I’m a moderately technical person and all the self hosting options are such a chore. Even simply looking up info about them can sometimes be harder than installing and starting the centralized option.

it’s like every Tesla accident I hear about is FSD related.

I mean, that just kinda makes sense. Regular accidents aren’t really newsworthy. Even if they are, it tends not to be worth mentioning what manufacturer the car is.

Creating something that damages nearby electronics? Yeah, that’s probably not going to fly. It really doesn’t matter if it only damages things that actively film/photograph you. Like, it’d be illegal if I walked up and hammered every camera that photographed me too.

Thank you for being rational here. It drives me bonkers how many people try to act like Linux is “just as easy” as windows. Like, yeah, to some degree it’s getting used to the differences, but there are definitely considerations and complexities that you simply don’t have to worry about with a windows machine.

As a relatively recent convert, I can say it was easier than I was expecting, but it was not “just as easy” as installing windows. It took more time to set up all the extra bits I needed/wanted, and I’m still not fully set up the way I’d like to be.

Not just UI, but simplicity of operation. The closer to “it just works” a system/program is, the more palatable it is to adopt.

Honestly solar panels and electric cars. I know those existed over 15 years ago, but they weren’t serious market options until like 5 or so years ago.

Nope. Never figured it out

Because instead they just outright deny the claim and pay nothing. It also works against them if people start to realize they can get cheaper care elsewhere.

It’s a red flag to those who think you’re going to share internal info.

It feels like there could/should be a good modern chat protocol and voice protocol and you just pick which interface you want to use, much like email currently does, except for chatrooms.

Yup. Infuriating. I can’t remember how many times I saw a thread of someone asking my version of a question that was then closed as duplicate linking to an older one that wasn’t the right version and therefore the fix was irrelevant or at least not best practice anymore.
