You made me chuckle.

Thank you for that.

I don’t know if Bing’s search results are better than Google’s.

They all suck.

I stopped using Whoogle (Privacy engine using Google search) because of the bad search results. Google’s fault of course.

Trying SearxNG now.

The way you write tells me you are young.

The older you get (and having a family of your own) the more you enjoy the quiet moments, just like the ones when you sit in an airport, waiting for the plane.

It’s really feels like a weight has been lifted from your shoulders.

Yeah, fucking sheep!

I also thought about those scenes in Wally when I was walking the dog the other day.

Soon all of us will float around in armchairs and never step outside.

Welcome to the new world.

PS: I am old too.

Yes the real money is in corporations, of course. And large companies won’t change anytime soon.

But let’s face it, as i was refering on a individual level, is any of your non tech savy family and friends install an other OS other over Windows?

I find that rather hard to believe.

People are creatures of habit.

No, not me.

I didn’t even mentioned Linux, did I? Can be MacOS or FreeBSD.

I guess you assumed I did since its the default answer to suggest Linux as Windows is a shitshow. However, I realize that ordinary people won’t change a thing. They will just use the OS that came installed with the computer. That’s (windows) 99 % of all computers sold.

And yes, I do use Linux but I’m tech savy and a realist about the Windows situation.

Yeah. People just don’t make the effort to “learn a new OS”.

They get crazy if the icons are in some other place than they are used to on Windows.

Let’s see the facts here ppl.

Yeah, Tumbleweed has a good track record with NVIDIA drivers in my experience. As with updates in general.

Although I still use X11 as Wayland still has graphical issues in some apps for me. Usually Flatpaks. That makes it unusable for me for the time being.

Edit: I have an older card (1050ti), so maybe I don’t get the latests drivers anymore?? On version 550.

Yes, Docker apps are more appropriate for servers and most apps are “made” to run 24/7 to serv the home or workplace.

They are very much worth the “work to setup” as they can be transfered/replicated to any system.

Flatpak and the alike are for running apps on a desktop/laptop.

That’s funny since Nextcloud is a bloated mess.

“Unreliable Backup” is probably the worse.

Wait, I have a better name. Duplicati!

Shit!

I came here to say AI, which I’m not allowed to.

I’m in the same boat.

Have the 3600 with a 1050ti (!), and its does a good job when I play the 2-3 games I like to play. 32gb for my apps and docker containers. Plenty.

I see no reason to upgrade.

It has always been like this for me. Sticked to a platform until it died and never upgraded (OK ram maybe) until I was forced to.

Nice!

Thanks for the info.

Been eying one for quite a while. I have read that the build quality is good too. Along with a good cooling solution.

I’m actually thinking of using it as a replacement for my desktop/gaming machine. I only play 1 or 2 games anyway. Nothing the 780m can’t handle with ease. Also planning on 24/7 operation due to the much lower wattage.

I bought a minisforum um890 recently.

How do you like it? I’m planning of buying one and putting Proxmox on it.
