There is no “dedicated” one for gaming. Ubuntu Mint, Debian are solid ones. I run Mint MATE personally

I feel this. I recently switched jobs and have a work PC (Win11) and work phone (whatever Iphone model) and I feel so dumb using them and I’m really tech savvy

Or you know, 150K

Not sure where you thought I was implying that

I’m saying education doesn’t always equal a degree.

Yes, some fields should have formal education, but what people pay is not for the education, it’s the experience of the instuctors, tools, class material, ect. Those are what we are paying for

Right, which is why you are paying for education. You pay for the instructor’s knowledge and hands on approach. You’re not paying for the information itself, rather the experience someone else is taking time to show you.

You can get books free on how to build a log cabin. Thousands of settlers built their own cabin, but they had the knowledge. If they didn’t they paid for someone to teach them or build it for them. Not too much different now

Not denying that. But there is more knowledge found than at a university. My arguement was that you are paying the teacher whom has first hand experience they can share to their students, not strictly education itself.

Sure. Depends on what exactly. A teacher should have a formal education, backed by a paper while say a tradesperson should have informal hands-on training. (just saying for an employment hiring stand point)

I guess what I’m saying is: if you think that learning is strictly at the institution level, you are missing out on things that aren’t taught.

Oof…not looking good for my case 😂

It’s still free. You’re not paying for the education, you are paying teachers and university buildings/materials. No one is stopping you from going to the library and learning. The internet hosts a large wealth of knowledge.

I’m ready for those downvotes, but it’s just a hardpill to swollow

Really interesting read!

Great. Now “AI” will burn my coffee because it “thinks” I would rather have a hotter temp than I pick.

Good thing I like tea instead lol

I’ll give credit to Patrick, he’s actually on the “frontlines” and has been reporting since 2014 or so? I think he is more creditible than majority of the west “reporters”. I do agree that he has changed views from Ukraine to more Russian leaning views

Could you run Tor and use the discord web browser version?

Right. It blows me away the required training we have to do for physical files more secured than Fort Knox! Tech world? Eh just throw it in the recycle bin

So pretty much Django in the AC lore. I’d play it!

If VPNs get outlawed for some reason in AZ, Tor is another option. Make sure you download it from their site sonce there are fake Tor apps in the playstores

Is it a laptop? For some reason I’ve always had issues on laptop and suspend mode on linux, I think it’s a commom issue. Which version of mint adn kernal version?

“So you want to play this game to it’s full expectations? That’ll be another $19.98 and a subscription to our club.”

Almost $1400 is insane. It’s been a bit since I checked Uberti’s but I thought those were $800ish
