And B must be for Body of course

The water cooling system that only needs to be used once

I just tried and got “about 40,000 billion kilometers”. Also the references are completely different from the ones in the post, so I guess it was a ranking issue

AI is just too unpredictable, hard to know what’s accurate and you end up doing the work yourself anyways

A once in a lifetime experience!

that’s awesome, did not know about that handy operator!

The other command could just be printf '' >> file to not overwrite it. Or even simpler >>file and then interrupt

When your function literally returns the void

I don’t want to think of what the FaceTime integration would be like…

Seems like John was trying to… cut some corners

I generally agree. However, for the MDN Web docs icon, I’m not sure I’ll ever acclimate to that one, even with how often I see it. so bad. Love MDN still though

I second the recommendation of giving Linux Mint a shot. I didn’t use XP extensively but Mint is low hassle and gets out of your way.

I’m not sure it has quite the same feel, but closest I can think of that is also approachable coming from Windows. Obviously a lot of other distros also satisfy the “built by engineers” vibe.

A couple mentions in here of Linux Mint, I also recommend it having tried out a few distros before landing here. Especially if you go with an external GPU laptop, which might be a good choice for gaming needs, then Linux Mint has been really good about solving all of the annoying driver problems that could come up.

I have a Dell G15 Ryzen (AMD with nvidia GPU), it’s been pretty good but there’s always a trade-off between bulkiness and gaming needs. It’s just a little awkward to lug around to coffee shops, but it’s certainly got enough processing power for me.

System76 was a contender too, I think I just went with whichever was on sale!

It’s 2024 and we’re still doing king and queen stuff apparently

My anecdote, granted I’m no Linux master: I recently went into a distro rigamarole, installed openSUSE, Manjaro, etc, before arriving to Mint, because I could not find one that handled my CPU and graphics and drivers setup without significant effort.

Then I installed Mint (avoiding Ubuntu and its Canonicalness), and setup was very simple and everything worked out of the box. I could run Steam with external GPU without going through many workarounds or setup using nvidia prime and launchers and so forth

Stylistically I also like cinnamon, but Mint mainly was just so low hassle and simple I have to give it props for that

Is that Frieza? DBZ is real?!
