No seriously, there's plenty of arch elitism in this thread alone, And other distros too. You really don't need to be preemptively defensive about it though.
idk man I've been using linux since before we began recording the passage of time and automated installers are, you know... fine? There can be issues, sure, but its pretty damn rare on modern hardware that they aren't the result of a config issue which can be sorted out in the bios (or similar). This is the Arch elitism that everyone complains about; just because something is easy doesn't mean that it's somehow bad.
Anker was bought a while back, and now most of their products are the same generic internals to everything else on the market. Sadly it's just e-commerce roulette to see if you get the dud chipset or if you're the lucky winner of a mostly functional product.
(the biggest offender here are USB hubs. Literally every single on on amazon (that isn't for a server rack) has exactly the same components just with a slightly different pcb layout)
Is it really that excellent? Big "how do you do fellow kids" energy with this one. They all look like they could be the star of a cult classic gritty animated film noir feature about anthropomorphic animals set in wartime 1940s brooklyn. Call it "The primal inside me" or something, get that triple entendre going for it.
Yeeeep. The biggest adjustment I/my peers have had to make to address the ubiquity of students cheating using LLMs is to make them do stuff, by hand, in class. I'd be lying if I said I didn't get a guilty sort of pleasure from the expressions on certain students when I tell them to put away their laptops before the first thirty-percent-of-your-grade in-class quiz. And honestly, nearly all of them shape up after that first quiz. It's why so many profs are adopting the "you can drop your lowest-scoring quiz" policy.
Yes, it's true that once they get to a career they will be free to use LLMs as much as they want - but much like with TI-86, you can't understand any of the concepts your calculator can't solve if you don't have an understanding of the concepts it can.
Windows security is... fine? It could be better, but it's pretty much on par with linux security. Both have their vulns, but they're both also able to be secured enough that most (if not all) major data breaches are via phishing or other social engineering attacks, not solely software exploits. There's lots of fodder for the Linux vs. M$ debate, but this one is maybe a bit out of date.
This guy uses arch btw.No seriously, there's plenty of arch elitism in this thread alone, And other distros too. You really don't need to be preemptively defensive about it though.
