If the performance and price is comparable to rolling your own mini-ITX rig then why not?

Your second paragraph explains exactly why they’re all so horny for AI.

I think the “friendly” distros like Linux Mint with built-in driver detection/management and pretty broad package repositories (surfaced as an “App Store”) are probably to the point where many normal people could use them, without significantly more technical chops than Windows. Particularly as a gaming rig where you basically just need Firefox, LibreOffice and Steam.

That’s enough internet for me today

Windows is becoming so trash that a bunch of my not-that-tech-savvy friends have been hitting me up asking about gaming on various Linux distros. (Just a few years ago it was all “Linux? Haha nerd”.) And the non gamers are switching to Mac at a remarkable rate.

And things have progressed so well that even for the non-technical crew, after installing Mint and showing them how to use ProtonPlus to install and select Proton-GE, they’re pretty much off to the races without much further hand holding.

Lol. Yes, but also, even with the typo it wasn’t that wrong

Hi, I’d like to buy a plane ticket to San Fr-

PENIS OR VAGINA?

The more I see .ml users’ comments, the more I understand why they keep getting degenerated defederated.

Seconding Kagi, it’s worth every penny.

Yes, on the one hand, this is a chilling precedent that can only lead to long term despair and national ruination. But on the other hand, line go up next quarter. I think we all know which one Tim Apple will choose.

Because Milei is also an embattled right wing nut job who frequently says nice things about orange man on TV.

How much time have you got?

The roll of paper is an interesting idea but where would one actually buy those? Are they a standard thing?

It’s unclear if MS is even winning considering they’re trying to hike the price 50%, and considering that Xbox sales are flat.

It’s almost impressive how they manage to be wrong on literally every single issue.

I… what? It’s a view of downtown and Tom McCall Waterfront Park looking across the Willamette from alongside the Hawthorne Bridge. You can’t see either Gresham or Beaverton from this spot, nor within at least 10 miles of where it was taken. (Which was right here: https://maps.app.goo.gl/ccVP2PghV2xPBmvy6)

War ravaged?

What does “86 a guy” mean?

I’m 100% sure we’ll have an election in 2028. The interesting question is whether it will be free and fair. Remember, even China and Russia hold elections; just not ones the incumbent can lose.
