Linux is like that spider swatting meme where the spider gets squished, and then it explodes into a million smaller spiders that run every direction.

Linux Mint is good, but it, like Ubuntu and Debian, are “vintage” linuxes that are very behind on software versions. Things are moving very fast right now with a lot of back end linux stuff changing rapidly to support more people and programs coming off Windows. Fedora is the best “middle ground” in that it’s not Arch bleeding edge, but it is also not Debian stable “vintage”.

You do need to install RPM Fusion for Fedora to go from nvidia open source driver to nvidia proprietary driver, though.

KDE is a fully featured desktop that will give you familiarity with Windows-like layouts. Some other desktops, like GNOME, tend to reinvent the wheel and have very different desktop workflows. You’ll have to boot the live discs / sticks and poke around to understand what I mean.

To make a boot disc, use an 8GB+ usb stick and rufus - https://rufus.ie/

Fedora has been implementing an optional ML API. It’s up to you if you install it or not.

Fixed VR controller tracking in Microsoft Flight Simulator.

At least it’s not a rusty Chevrolet…

For a free mod, that’s not a bad thing per se. Consider those voice lines were probably placeholders in the hopes someone could come around and better them. Which looks like that’s happening anyway.

The first Unifi Video NVR. It was a device with an Atom D525, running Debian 6, when Debian 6 was about to EOL. It went on the market for 6 months and then was pulled.

Definitely worth it. Runs exceptional woth GOS

Ah, yes, here come the “just use your old car because EVs are worse for the environment than the Exxon Valdez or something” posts

That is a myth thoroughly debunked by just a little bit of research and data collection into the making and driving of EVs, as that assumption ran off an old study that used guesstimated worst-case scenario numbers and don’t really reflect what the actual numbers are.

If you want to avoid being tracked, you will have to disconnect the data modem somehow - it is part of your radio antenna. If it gets no power, it gets no connection. Either disconnect from the telematics unit, or at the antenna. Also, you can disconnect your telematics unit itself - the “black box” that lives under the dash and records your driving. Some aftermarket makers have “dummy plug” connectors which will trick the car into thinking it is connected. These are often used with aftermarket head units.

Beware that some cars are tracked by your financial lender, and they don’t like it when this happens. Some other cars actually have to be cloud connected once in a while or they stop working - which is the worst thing modern cars can do.

Somebody once told me…

disconnect telematics units and/or radio modems.

The game is still actively developed, with the primary focus on bug-fixing. The price is one-time, and there is no intent to sell another expansion, as the game is pretty much at its technical limits as to what you can add to the game with the current expansion.

Also it has a ridiculously good mod repo and management system built into the game.

Mine doesn’t have that capability… battery lasts 5 years. But the cost difference in charging an EV at home versus buying gas… that’s real.

Lower the postgre to 8GB and see what happens? Also, hard drives, ssds, or nvme ssds? Recent info suggests it is possible memcaching is actually slower than direct access to nvme ssd
