  • Been 100% linux for like 6-9 months now, these stories make me thankful for finally making the switch.

    I've tried to make the switch 3-4 times in the past and was stopped by 2 main things:

    • Drivers / Laptops were tough to get set up
    • Gaming

    The experience was so much better this time and I really have no regrets. I don't imagine I'll ever run Windows again outside of a VM

  • Nah. There are some nvidia issues with wayland (that are starting to get cleared up), and nvidia's drivers not being open-source rubs some people the wrong way, but getting nvidia and cuda up and running on linux is pretty easy/reliable in my experience.

    WSL is a bit different but there are steps to get that up and running too.

  • Agree with others, this guide is a bit more work than you probably need. I don't really run windows much anymore but I did have an easier time with WSL like the other poster mentioned.

    And just to check, are you planning on fine-tuning a model? If so then the whole anaconda / miniconda, pytorch, etc... path makes sense.

    But if you're not fine-tuning and you just want to run a model locally, I'd suggest ollama. If you want a UI on top of it, open-webui is great.

  • Tons of remote jobs out there, probably a higher percentage for startup jobs. Most remote places will have people in different time zones and some sort of core hours they expect people to be in, but having some discussion you’ll probably be able to find one that’s accommodating.

    One good site to start looking:

    Good luck

  • Synology nas are nice. I will say there’s definitely a nice UI there and they generally work well. But there is a good bit of lock-in and there are some really reasonable roll-your-own hardware and software options these days.

    If you want something that just works, doesn’t need to be super configurable and is easiest to set up and manage, get a synology. If you don’t mind putting in some work or if you need to really tweak some stuff, roll your own

  • Most steam games just work. Make sure to go to settings and compatibility and let it use compatibility for all games. Look at something like bottles for a front-end to let you set up and use wine / proton for other launchers, etc….

  • What an awful god damn tweet. Are the tariffs to combat Chinese governmental meddling? If so, great. If not then they’re protectionist stupidity that’s sure to draw a response. This tweet sure makes it sound like it’s the latter. sigh
