My CS security class had a virtual machine set up with vulnerabilities, such that each vulnerability you exploited would let you log in as a different user. It was quite fun!
Bazzite is the most stable and noob friendly distro I’ve tried. I’ve installed both Bazzite and Windows in the past year and the Bazzite install process was far easier.
I’ve had plenty of sleep/wake issues on Linux, including on my current setup which is Bazzite (based on Fedora, which the author uses). Currently on Bazzite, some things don’t restart correctly after a reboot (specifically Gnome tweaks and OpenRGB). Not the worst issue but still annoying.

This is the default behavior on macOS
A desktop operating system needs to come with a solid, serviceable email client. I consider this non-optional.
The only truly useful email client I’ve used is the default macOS one. I am actively taking suggestions for Linux. I tried one called Evolution I think? It was ok but didn’t support all my different email providers. I tried Thunderbird but it baffles me that I can’t view an email and have the list of emails open on the side.
I honestly think the author might have a better time with macOS. Not that they would prefer it over Linux, but a lot of what they complain about is better on Mac.
Whenever I experienced a short stretch of time where I felt “perhaps this isn’t so bad?”, one (or multiple) of the problems and issues described above would snap me out of it.
This was my experience trying to switch to Linux until very recently (until I started using Bazzite). Even now I still regularly have issues I need to debug, but it’s much, much more stable than previous distros I tried.
I strongly recommend paying extra for one of the nicer modern printers with FULL automatic bed leveling. I regret buying a cheaper one that is a pain in the ass to calibrate every time I want to use it.
Like other Chinese companies, Alibaba tapped into Anthropic’s technologies through tens of thousands of unauthorized accounts, according to the letter, which was viewed by The New York Times. Then it used the data it collected to train its own A.I. systems. Anthropic asked the lawmakers, who lead a Senate committee that was about to hold a hearing on A.I., to explore ways of curbing China’s distillation.
Lmfao they are complaining about what’s basically the same thing as what they did to people to create their AI in the first place
I’ve found AI powered autocomplete suggestions is actually quite nice. The time save when it gets it right is sometimes significant, but the time lost when it gets it wrong is usually negligible.
You can still reason about expected value in this situation, just $ is not really what you want to optimize for.
When you view it as “100% chance of being able to afford anything” vs “50% chance of being able to afford anything” it becomes more clear.
