oH, I got my hands on a nice little dell laptop recently. It had Windows 10 on it. It was older hardware but ran nice. It is so different from Windows 11. I had forgotten how nice Windoze 10 was compared to Wndoze 11. It was a breeze compared to my Windoze 11 gaming system. (note, I went in and turned off updates for the next 5 weeks. Because they can't even keep their updates working right)

Oh while on the subject of memory https://www.ibuypower.com/blog/general/ddr6-ram-next-gen-memory

I have seen many older hardware on the various sites. However, that is ddr3 or ddr4 not ddr5. I believe looking at some of the laptops that he was unloading they are possibly ddr5 computers. That combined with the statement that he wanted to give people computers that they can use 5 or more years would IMO be more modern. With the release of DDR 5 It is likely those computers that just was released from lease and business upgrades. I personally tend to stick with the DDr4 type computers. New enough to be good if it was a powerful computer to begin with and old enough that it should be very cheap and still give me some use. Before DDR5 went crazy I did pick up some hardware that was much newer as it was a great price. But now, it is almost impossible.

Yes, this is true. However, they claim that they have limited success currently. It also won't be a Flatpak for those that prefer the clean option for software use. AT least I can't see it being able to do that as it requires too much low level access. Snap maybe, not Flatpak Regardless, it is a good solution for those non GPU programs that people need that might be holding them back from converting. Office, for example. Sure, there is some success with Wine and other options, but this is much more solid and reliable as it uses the actual windows programming. DLL etc. There is one more issues that you didn't mention, but I want to point out. It is WINDOWS in Linux. This can mean that there is a very real possibility of security issues. Not as serious as a traditional Windows install, but still those components can allow access. That combined with access to your files etc. can be a security issue IMO. Another issue is man-hours are being taken away from developing the programs that translate the Windows in real time. Tools like Proton and Wine to wedge a full Windows OS into Linux. This option bloats your install, where translation programs are more effective and provide less bloat. (not to mention more secure) Still it is an interesting option. A option I believe people did years ago by taking various components of Windows in an attempt to make it more compatible. Before Wine and other tools were developed to replace those DLLs etc.

hey, make all the data centers you want. So long as you also create the power plants to power them. Build them bigger than you need so you can have coverage to expand. You can then sell the excess off at market rates for what you don't use.

funny, the playback and access to the above video is a problem. Will try later. . Youtube was being an ass

I haven't done this yet but his other videos are pretty solid.

Interesting. Normally, I like Debian as it is more stable and has more easily available support. What most people would atomically give you in commands. Arch isn't as common commands found when looking for general support. I would advise a Debian based Linux to start however, once you are more comfortable with Linux and willing to and know how to find more support and importantly understand if you are looking at a Debian command vs, Fedora vs Arch in general and you want more bleeding edge and "rolling updates" and most of all more control, this might be something you would want to look at.

The sad thing is people that voted for the blue politics are now complaining AND MOVING to red states while still hating Trump and the Republicans. Not able to recognize that the republican policies are making the red state and red areas better. They should be banned from moving from the craptastic areas that they helped create unless they can publically announce that the republicans policies are better. That and convert to Republican Party. Denounce the Democratic Party and their failing policies. People in red states and areas don't need you to come here and pervert and destroy what has been developed there. You haven't learned your lessons yet.

I currently have a higher end machine for gaming. That has Windows 11 and it has an account since I wanted shit to work and not have to screw around with it. It only gets mygaming information and the occasional email look up for work which it has already through that spyware being installed as my work computer operating system. This computer, isn't windows. It is older than tpm 2.0 and doesn't have the survalance options that are available now as well as it is running Linux mint. (or whatever flavor I want to play with at the time lol) NO problems and few vectors for it to spy on me. Some spying from Firefox etc. I am also using vpn so that anyone seeing IP will see what I am wanting them to see (most of the time. there are ways to get past that from my understanding but they have to do the work for anything worthy from me ) I've recently gotten a yubi key for some added security for selected accounts I have. Even harder for them to grab information (other than the service I am using at the time of course. they have the information. That is expected of course. If I didn't want them to have it... why am I using their services?

That is a great idea! Wait. There isn't a Linux distribution that takes snapshots of the desktops and sends personal data to Microsoft servers ro any servers for that fact Also, correct me if I am wrong. These aren't games optimized for Linux. I'd be curious to see games that have optimized versions for Linux besides the windows ones.

Too much of a challenge? NOt flexibile enough?

Make sure all mods are updated.

Modding in LInux has gotten better from what I heard but if you are new and starting out, you won't know if it is a mod program conflict or issue or your fingers on the keyboard that is the issue.

Please, people remove the drives from your machine if you are trying to duel boot. Just easier and safer.

Question. If they stayed true to the original script, wouldn't that mean that they wouldn't have the DEI? The characters were changed to make it DEI right? I keep coming back to the fact that they need to create their own content. Fresh new content, not try to change everything that is popular to their ideas. They were popular because of what they were. They will never be as good if it is changed for DEI. It is forced and fake. There are movies that are good with good female characters, strong female characters. There are shows that have good homosexual / Bisexual characters. Of my top of my mind, Torchwood. Very popular. Wasn't forced. Witcher has lesbians Sourcers one of which is a man hater. There is a cross-dressing elf in it for Christ sakes and it won so many awards. Start making good fresh content with skill and purpose. Leave the 007s and such alone.
