  • “Looking to shit on your day” that’s rich lol

    Instead of being a knob end, you could have approached the conversation differently. You added nothing to the discussion. You lashed out to someone discussing their experiences because you got offended. Grow thicker skin, grow up, go touch grass. No need to take out your frustrations on folks having a civil discussion until your juvenile ass behavior stunk it all up.

    Get a grip bud.

    Stating issues with Teams on Linux isn’t blaming Linux by default.

    Can’t participate in Microsoft Teams calls if the input and output audio devices are the same device or the call disconnects/reconnects every few seconds. Microphone and speaker must be separate devices for optimal experience.

    How is this laying blame on anyone? It wasn’t blaming Linux, or blaming Microsoft, or blaming anyone. It was a statement of what issues they were having.

    You are not taking too kindly based on inferences you have made. Are you sincerely this dense?






  • Avoid any machine with an Nvidia graphics card for Linux. It’s more hassle than it’s worth. Source: my experience.

    However, I have good luck with most laptops that have Intel integrated graphics. Specifically Lenovo machines. I am not exactly sure what budget you have, but you can get a second hand Lenovo machine that would work quite well.

    If you don’t care about it being fully open source/libre, then from my experience you likely won’t have much issue with Wifi either.

    As far as what you are wanting to use it for, you could get away with something fairly low powered. Depending on your preferences, I would suggest a number of distros for that purpose:

    Fedora, it’s been a good distro in my experience. They offer different spins of it with different desktop environments. I personally love KDE, but you could go with Gnome too.

    As far as hardware goes, if you are unsure about a machine being usable with linux, I would check here: https://linux-hardware.org/

    Hope this helps!













  • AI isn’t a magic bullet. Sure it has it’s uses, but you have to weigh it’s usefulness to the ideology behind a project and it’s creators. Just because a software developer or community doesn’t embrace AI doesn’t mean they will be “obsolete.”

    AI is the current trend that is being shoehorned into everything. I mean literally everything. I don’t think we need AI touching everything.

    I don’t want or need AI crammed into my desktop environment. And I surely don’t want it interjecting into my filesystem with my data. It is a privacy concern. And many of other people will feel the same or similarly as I do.

    AI is a tool, and with all tools: use the appropriate tool for the job.
