At scale though…

Not for everyone, but they are aiming at increasing hardware ownership costs so more people can’t afford local AI

OpenAI/Anthropic is incentivized to prevent this.

They are also big enough and unregulated enough that they could use their power & political/industry relationships to drive up the price of local AI ownership (RAM, GPUs, etc)

May go the Gentoo route. majority of my friends use that as their primary os. peer pressure + compiling your OS is fun

Sounds like a scare tactic. This will only embolden the community.

The company behind os level age verification is Meta: https://github.com/upper-up/meta-lobbying-and-other-findings

You mean they’re complying with the meta age verification at OS level lobbying?

I thought the 50% stat didn’t filter out repeat offenders.

They’re also profit-incentivized to keep people single and on their platform for as long as possible.

I believe a woman should have the right to abort the child as long as its under 18*12 months.

What if you use it to hack the pentagon, end the war, and put out coordinated social media campaigns to enable people younger than 60 to be elected into in congress?

If switching from Windows or Mac and you want to keep similar UI for easy transition, check out ZorinOS. A friend of mine recently installed Zorin OS Core w/ nvidia drivers and is enjoying it so far.

Yeah agreed for most people migrating from Windows should be fine.

I just had a bias since I’m just used to making my own systemd services and udev rules for my work.

Ahh I see. Won’t the immutability impede work? I guess that depends on the type of work. But given OP is switching from Windows for first time it’s unlikely they’ll be wanting to mess that.

yeah Bazzite is also a fine gaming + typical work option

I’m also assuming OP doesn’t want a gaming-only setup / wants to actually have a general purpose use desktop too for work, etc.

Bazzite isn’t well suited as a general purpose work + gaming machine.

From OP’s post it sounded like they want simple / not tweaking their OS so they can focus on gaming.

ZorinOS or PopOS with nvidia drivers

Probably not cloning like scifi where exact body scars, broken bones, & memories transferred.

But china did try to hide some cloning human project researcher a while back. Not sure what happened there.

Managed to get a matrix server up + a web client frontend hosted on same site for friend group .

3 container docker compose: continuwuity, tunnel, premade Cinny image with nginx serving frontend.

Great if you don’t care about voice, but if you do then you’ll need to host a TURN server on a VPS and connect home server to that.
