It is if you have a groovy linux admin wizard guiding you

I got a decent laptop for work. But its fans are always cranked trying to run the full spyware stack of W11+copilot+365copilot, Crowdstrike, lansweeper, screenconnect, fortigate.

it takes less than 5seconds to “reinstall” them. I swear distros cant win with whatever software they include/dont.

I think you dont. You just run it

Ai is becoming a very good tool in the.software industry. I think people are going to have to really consider their AI stance and really hone in on what they actually find to be the unethical parts because it will be so widespread and you need to fight against its parts instead of it as a whole.

For me the copyright asymmetry and hostile integration with existing life. I dont want to live in a world where openAI can train a model off all works but i can’t do the same. I dont want openAI to scrape every website relentlessly while I get blocked from scraping any large website.

For power usage I dont care. Thats a local government issue. They choose to let an ai data center drive up costs and water usage then they suck and I’ll hate them for approving that. Theres plenty of places to put a data center where power isnt an issue.

For art Its awful because its trained unconsensually off artists works and two because it has no intention behind its creation. Ive come to believe that the reason we appreciate art is because of the human intention that goes into its creation. Thats why there is objectively bad art that we resonante with more than a perfect still life because the artist has a story alongside the piece and gives it unique value that ai could never truely replicate.

This is why I can accept AI usage in software development and still hate AI. If its built off an open source model its fine but i dont want to support development using these closed source models and end up in a world where american megacorps control the tools to create software.

Project managers. Not racist I just dont like them. Never met one that wasnt a useless overpaid Muppet.

Yes we must think of the children of course.

Money isnt the bad thing. Money isnt why companies like Microsoft and google are bad. Its control. In linux everyone has their hand in the pie such that no one can control it. The person at the helm linus torvalds has proven to be a good leader and not bias towards any corporation in particular.

Its only age verification if you set it up.

Yes, it saves others from wasting their time. I really disagree with the people that think its fine to sit through 2 or 3 bad seasons because the show gets good later. Either I can skip to later or dont watch.

Happens on fedora as well

It spends money on advertising so people are convinced its good at something

Windows has a thing similar to cups to detect and use these.

Hardware support is either non existent>generic driver>manufacturer driver that never gets updates

This sucks because on windows you’d be getting manufacturer driver support with updates and software tool support for additional configuration.

All the other “problems” are double edged because yes they are a problem for some but for others its a huge positive. For instance having all the files like .bashrc .compose .desktop as a way of configuring things is cool when you know an arcane when you dont. It should be in the settings gui.

crowdstrike

I like power shell so much more than bash. Yes yes power shell can be used on linux I know.

Which distro are you using? Did this happen after an update? What audio output device are you using and how is it connected? Run pactl info to see if you’re using pulseaudio or pipewire. If you’re using pipewire you should see this line Server Name: PulseAudio (on PipeWire 1.4.10)

When is this issue happening? Sometimes audio crackles when the cpu us under heavy load

I know how he could of fixed things thats not the point. The point is these are linux issues that I dont fault a new user for running into.

He didnt need to do more research the video shows 3 different approaches, searching/ai, searching reddit, having basic experience from immersion.

If he had gone and picked something no user would ever pick maybe I’d have an issue but popOS is still commonly picked and recommended and its fine for him to bring to attention how shit it is for new users.

Overall I think the video was linux positive and I’m expecting the whole series to show linux favourably. I’m hoping the community reaction to ep1 doesnt change that. Theyve been insufferable.

I agree and wouldnt recommended it either but ultimately the devs shouldn’t be putting cosmic up just yet especially in the LTS. People will always recommend the most random shit when it comes to distros combine that with those dogshit listsites and AI new users should be encouraged to try multiple just to not have them getting stuck on one thinking its representative.

Yeah I was pretty shocked they were shipping it LTS with no warning or disclaimer
