I used zorin when I first switched like 5 years ago, ended up on fedora not too soon after and haven’t left. It was a good stepping stone for me though.

If loser companies would support it I’d say AV1 Image File Format (AVIF) is the best.

I sorta dig Frame™

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ In this case, my personal experience and the dozens of other people who have agreed with me beg to differ.

Fedora, great blend of bleeding edge and stability. Plus Linus uses it, so what better praise could you get.

Perfect, groks context limit is 256,000, and as we all know llm recal only gets better as context fills so you will get perfect slop that works amazingly

Good to hear, I was hoping that wouldn’t get approved by the engineering and steering committee

Its actually a high drama distro, they push new changes before many other distros. For instance they were one of the first to go to Wayland by default and there is an upcoming vote to remove 32bit stuff In the next release, which would make it so steam only works as a flatpak because steam on Linux is 32bit

Fedora is my distro of choice also

I see a few people keep saying that, but how so? What has he done that’s neo Nazis like? Not that I follow the guy or what he does so I may be missing things but the only controversy I can remember that could be considered Nazis like was when he paid some fiver people to make a video saying death to all Jews.

Now I get how that could be considered Nazi like but he said it was a joke and to show that people will do anything for money, and I believe him and thought the joke was funny. So I guess I’m a neo nazi too if that’s it. Obviously it’s a “bad” joke but but it was shocking in a funny way, atleast to me at the time. Given you’re from hexbear I figured you’d find it funny too

Just block his name, I have trump and Elon and varations of their names black listed so posts with them don’t show up on my feed.

I think he was only using it to work on the MacBook, Which, I really don’t think is his daily driver.

“JUST $10.28/YEAR - WOW!!” Laughed out loud at that, and I’ll have to give this a look. Currently I just use nginx and duckdns to expose my home IP for my self hosted stuff.

Local media streaming Is the appeal?

Now if you’re asking why use Plex vs Jellyfin, for me jellyfin has more issues with high bitrate 4K HDR content and subtitles for my situation.

Good ol’ AI

Why, use an open source standard. AV1 for the win

Was your phone $150?

I gotcha, thanks for sharing. It’s cool hearing from people who are so far away!

I wanted to go with a pi for my HTPC but I have a Plex server and all my movies are full bitrate 4k files straight from the UHD blurays and the pi couldn’t handle that bitrate. Ended up building a small ITX PC with my old PC hardware and a new Intel A380 gpu.

I’m so thankful intel is doing their best to enter the discreet GPU market. Such banger cards for so little.

That’s crazy! If you don’t mind me asking what do you typically do on your machine and how much time do you spend on it?

I’m just curious because I spend a lot of time on my PC and can only imagine how horrible all the stuff I do would be on that hardware lol
