  • Stable as in rarely crashes, or stable as in rarely changes over the years?

    The LTS versions of Ubuntu are stable in the second sense, they get ten years of support but you're stuck with old versions or (stable) programs in exchange. I also have not seen any of them experience a fatal crash, too. So stability isn't the issue, its more about what you want to do and compatible with most recent versions of software.

  • That's an American idea that there are different races. The term is obsolete in a biological sense. There are different connections of color, but that's not sufficient to constitute different races.

  • I remember the first mission of hotline Miami. You take the phone call and learn that you are supposed to kill some people. You learn how to use your guns. You kill a bunch of baddies, quite badass. Then at the end of the mission, the screen starts swaying more than usually, and the protagonist vomits in an alley. Of course, he just killed for the first time, overwhelming. Makes him quite human, more than many other protagonists, despite the pixel art style.

  • Start with something generic. Maybe not Ubuntu because of their recent hijinks. But something like Debian or Linux Mint. Just because it makes troubleshooting so much easier when because you can Google problems more easily.

  • I don't think I have stopped struggling with it. But removing some distractions has definitely worked. Windows was a big one. So many popups and bullshit. Stopped using social media entirely for some time. Just blocked the websites and the apps. Stopped using YouTube. Always made sure to leave the house and go to a library or cafe in the morning where there are less distractions. It works well.

  • Similar experience here. NVidia is pretending to become more open but their software engineers really cannot handle their hardware. I finally bought a non-NVidia device which happened to become my daily driver. As soon as I go back to ML, my plan is to buy a powerful desktop computer and install stable a stable version of cuda etc there, and then execute everything via ssh from my laptop. Might even use my Linode to forward the port so I can work remotely from anywhere.

  • Ubuntu has some pretty sensible presets for that, I use them by default when I'm on battery. It's called power profile and there is performance, balanced, and power saver. The only application where responsiveness really suffers is gmail 🤡

    Pretty sure those are present in other distros, too. My understanding is that they really just limit per draw.
