systemctl reboot --firmware-setup

That will reboot to UEFI setup instantly.

Isn't it 'octopodes', and 'octopuses' is considered a valid alternative due to heavy use, or am I stupid?

Recommending Yandex? Bit of a "hot take", don't you think?

Okay, but why is the watermark information wonky, as if it were generated by AI?

You can carbonate non-water drinks with anyone of those, regardless of brand - heck, Sodastream even sells you flavoured syrup to mix with your water.

Just, be careful to clean those nozzles more, as sugary drinks are sticky by nature.

Honestly, a better solution would be an open-source IODD-type device, because sometimes I still meet old devices which do boot via USB DVD drives, but not flash drives.

But Ventoy is a second solid choice, especially with newer devices, where such limitations are basically non-existent :)

I personally have tried FreeBSD and some FreeBSD "distros" on the desktop, and have used BSD-based stuff as servers/single-purpose machines.

As a desktop system (user-centric use case), you notice how hardware support is sometimes problematic, especially on laptops. I personally had problems with NVIDIA GPUs, already a problem on Linux, being a big problem here as well, and don't mention WiFi (FreeBSD doesn't support 802.11ac and up currently) or Bluetooth. Software-wise, if your applications do not have a BSD version, well, then you are relying on Linux ports, which for desktop use isn't exactly great.

But, in servers/headless setups, BSDs are shining, with the most important things running rock-solid, stable and resource-friendly.

Wait, they own Hermes? That explains quite a lot...

OPs function is indeed the Weierstrass function, but the "rollercoaster" here isn't a function at all, since there are multiple values per element, isn't it?

Isn't it kinda sad that one has to rely on third-party articles to even understand the package manager/OS one wants to use?

Don't worry, the next "mandatory" cumulative update will take care of that, even if you aren't installing it yourself.

But isn't that behavior actually documented in the Arch wiki? At least when you manually install it, it lists packagekit-qt6 as being "not recommended".

It is, if your priorities are to tinker even more with your computer. (nix configs, etc.) :)

Using non-tech analogy, it is like having a "project car" to tinker with and a "daily driver" to get to and from work, if you are a car enthusiast.

I currently use Plasma 6 on both my laptop and my desktop, but XFCE has a special place in my heart, due to it being right in the middle between being lightweight with resources and still staying usable for a buffoon like me.

sadly not, but GPUs (at least those I used) do not support that over HDMI as well, which is kinda frustrating :/

And the worst part: if you have actual needs for ML stuff - you kinda are stuck with nvidia cards, so you can't even switch when the need for upgrades arise.

sadly, masking yourself when protesting is forbidden here in my country :c

I personally also welcome this change, as I have changed that setting anyway and of those people I know, they also changed that behaviour immediately. But as long as you can change it and it isn't forced on you to only use one method, it's great.

I am still holding on to my 1060 6gb, and honestly, if not for AI stuff, I wouldn't even consider upgrading.

Well, my experience was always on and off: In the past, I always had my phases of trying it out, be it dual-booting, or outright replacing my OS, but always went back to Windows after a couple of months at most due to some software being Windows-only and both VMs and WINE not being sufficient.

But this year, with Windows continuing to get worse (built-in ads, the fact that it eats 60+ GB on a base install, etc.) and me needing Linux for uni anyway: I made the jump and thanks to the work being done with stuff like Proton for games and FOSS software now being good enough for general productivity, I'm happier than ever.

Obsessed? I like customizability and being able to tinker around, but in the end, it's a tool like any other.
