Agreed, always amazes me what the open source community can do. It’s also very humbling, I generally like to think of myself as a competent developer but then I see crazy shit like this being done and I’m like damn still got a lot to learn, I wouldn’t even know where to start with reverse engineering a GPU.
How’s the build quality compared to other brands, particularly macbooks? I haven’t found a brand with even remotely the same build quality as a macbook.
Alternatively, you can just decide not to give that much of a fuck about losing hair.
The situation isn’t that dire yet IMO, it’s not amazing but things aren’t falling apart yet. I think the libs know on some level they won’t survive unless they keep the treats flowing, which inevitably means easing up on the policy against China and probably even Russia to a degree.
What’s the play here anyway? The population of Greenland is like 60k people. Is it really just Trump’s brainworms acting up real bad or is there some benefit if you do imperialism to Greenland? Do they want to slap a military base there or something?
How’s Asahi Linux going nowadays tho? I know it’s probably not perfect but is it usable day to day?
Eh I’ve seen colleagues that use Vim heavily do their work and they’re like at best 10-20% faster than me when it comes to pure text input/editing, honestly not worth the effort to switch to Vim for me.
Just switch to VSCode or something similar, it has enough features and shortcuts that will quickly make you like at least 80% as productive as you were in Vim. It even has a Vim mode so you can wean yourself off of it more easily.
Honestly never got the appeal of Vim, you need to spend so much time learning and configuring it only to squeeze out a little bit of extra productivity out of it when compared to a “normal” editor/IDE. I don’t see why it’s so important to be able to edit and write code as quickly as possible since most of the time you’re going to be debugging or looking at the code or reading docs.
EDIT: Just noticed you said you don’t code a lot. I think most of what I said still applies, I imagine you don’t spend 99% of the time in the editor typing away.
Would that have even worked? I can’t imagine you’d be able to get anything better than PS2 graphics with just an extra CPU.

For what I see as a helpdesk guy, most problems that are encountered origin from Windows being Windows, not tech knowleadge of some person.
Yeah but things just work by default more often on Windows than on Linux. “Linux being Linux” is also the most common cause of Linux problems.
Linux usually does give you the tools to fix problems more easily than Windows but that’s where the tech savviness comes in.
Just bail out, it wasn’t meant to be. I tried a similar thing with family a few times and they always went back to Windows.
Linux is unfortunately not for people that aren’t at least a bit tech savvy. If you insist on them using Linux you’re gonna be on call to fix their shit all the time.
Not sure what you mean exactly. The Windows workstation machine could be accessed remotely from anywhere. I mean sure you’re gonna have to hook it up to a monitor to set it up but after that you shouldn’t have to access it directly, at least not often.
I don’t like VMs because I need to allocate memory upfront for it, and considering it’s a Windows VM and depending on the dev work you’re doing on it you might need to give it 10Gb+.
If it’s at all possible for OP I’d recommend getting a separate physical workstation and then just remoting into it with your Linux machine, if you use VSCode the process is pretty much seamless, you use VSCode from your Linux machine normally while all the work is being done on the remote machine.
I use sonicare too it’s great but you don’t really need the top end models, the tech inside is the same as the lower-mid end models it’s just some marketing bullshit.
Yeah tbh if you paid for the cat toy more than $5 you’ve almost certainly wasted money. Mine gets bored of most toys after a few days except for a few banger toys he still uses, but those also cost like $5.
Not sure if that’s true for table tennis. Like yeah if you’re just barely starting out sure get the $10 paddle but pretty soon (maybe even within a month or two) you’re gonna want a better paddle if you want to be at all serious about it.
Electric toothbrushes. Don’t get the cheapest one either, get a mid range one from a good brand but the top end models of the good brands are just scams, they just look a bit nicer and have some shitty “AI powered” app you’ll never use.
Idk Guiness tastes like shit and Monster is mid at best, maybe the combination somehow magically tastes good but I kinda doubt it.
Regular lager beer and Sprite fucking slaps tho, one of the rare good things that came out of Germany.
