I’ve used Debian, Ubuntu, Mint, and Manjaro. All viable options. I’m currently using Mint on my daily driver, Ubuntu on my HTPCs, and Debian on my servers.

I liked the rolling release aspect of Manjaro, but I missed having a system that works with DEB files. I’m not a fan of flatpak/snap/appimage due to the size (I’ve often had to use slower internet connections). I settled on Mint for my daily driver because it has great and easy compatibility for my hardware (specifically an Nvidia GPU). It worked okay on Manjaro as well, but I’ve found it easier to select and switch between GPU drivers on Mint. And Cinnamon is my favorite DE, and that’s sort of “native” to Mint.

I’m using vanilla Ubuntu on my HTPCs because I have Proton VPN on them, and it’s the only setup I’ve found that doesn’t have issues with the stupid keyring thing. And Proton VPN’s app only really natively supports Ubuntu. The computers only ever use a web browser, so the distro otherwise doesn’t matter that much.

I’m using Debian on my servers because it’s the distro I’m most familiar with, especially without a GUI. Plus it’ll run until the hardware fails, maybe a little longer.

I believe it was a concept of a plan

Henceforth I shall refer to the list of the 10 wealthiest people as the “Luigi List.”

Are you sure it’s not because the cybertruck is awful? Because I think it might be partly because the cybertruck is awful.

Coding is totally obselete, bro. AI can totally write all the code, trust me bro. You just gotta know how to tell it what code to write, like learn some keywords and stuff, bro. Like, as long as you check how it produces looping mechanisms and tell it when it should use polymorphism and stuff, it’ll totally do all the work bro. You don’t need to know how to code, just the right sequence of keywords and commands so the AI can write all the code.

It would depend on how technologically advanced their society is.

In a lower-tech world, I imagine something like a feuadlistic society where predators are the ruling class. A large family of predators would look out for and protect a large number of prey along with the land. The more altruistic predators might live primarily on fish and non-meats (assuming fish are not sentient), while others may utilize religious propaganda to identify “criminals” and “heretics” that they would take away to “reform” (and totally not eat, no there’s definitely not a bunch of predators that secretly gorge themselves on prey). The ruling predator class would be in a constant state of flux as they compete over the best grazing lands and water supplies, and other natural resources. There may also be groups of nomadic prey that have no predator leaders, who live in rougher or otherwise more desolate areas. Some of the feudal predators may have positive relationships with these groups, while others may see them as a feast threat.

In a more advanced society, predators would likely sustain themselves on non-sentient meat sources, or barring that, artificial protein sources. And there totally wouldn’t be a secret cult of predators that still hunt and eat prey in the darkest corners of society, those are just baseless rumors.

That’s the problem though–any “AI” health bot is trained on existing data, and that’s created from a long history of biased, religious, prejudiced health professionals. And assuming the bots are trained on as much data as possible, they might even be worse, because older data will be that much more biased and prejudiced.

Also, in this case, Bill Gates is full of shit. AI will be nowhere near sophisticated enough in 10 years to do most jobs.

Ubuntu minus snaps plus a better DE? Mint.

They’re very reputable. Sometimes biased to one side, but most are to one direction or another, at least a bit. Works just fine though.

I gotta go with 8. For reasons.

Bold of you to assume I’m not into that

I generally blame the instructors when that happens. I’ve taken classes on the most menial subjects that were great because the instructor was great. Almost anything can be enjoyable to learn if you have the right teacher.
