I don't care because chatgpt writes my config until it generates a working configuration

Why do people performatively reply to comments to self-righteously nitpick about the terminology someone used?

Other people have already answered, but here is where things can get very weird. You can stream the raw video file out of your remote server and pipe it straight into local mpv to decode it at the same time.

ssh user@example.org cat ~/movie.mp4 | mpv -

You can also add compression if you want by extending this technique.

ssh user@example.org "gzip -c ~/movie.mp4" | gunzip | mpv -

Behuman gives some good differences that I took into account. I really like Plasma and Debian package support so TuxedoOS will give me a modern feeling system the way I like it.

This works but it potentially needs tuning to work well, including setting ssh options for keep alives and reconnection. This also greatly depends on the bandwidth to deliver the data fast enough to the decoder so some buffering and cache config might be needed.

I forgot you can simply convert them. 🤦‍♂️

i don't sorry. i only have iptables

OK bud. lol

Well, I guess everyone had their abusive relationships in their lives at least once. Those abused (used Windows, in this instance) are tend to fall into another abusive relationships, unfortunately. Until they work through their problems.

That said, I’m happy you’re better (and not on Windows, yay!) Now, I sincerely wish you to find a loving and caring partner—

Ok, on a serious note, I can believe you that Kubuntu can be fine too, but I don’t understand why, if you can use a system that respects you. Say, even Debian. Or any other one. On the other hand, if it works, why break it. But I won’t sincerely recommend that to anyone new these days. Go with CachyOS or Fedora or Pop_OS! instead.

As a beginner Ubuntu was more frustrating, I prefer one config file to hundreds of bread crumbs left all over the system.

Anyone remember putting 90-mouse.conf in xorg.conf.d to turn off mouse acceleration? Each time you went to do something it would be some change in some file on your system. No way to remember what you did when your in place upgrade fails and you need to restart fresh

Listen, I'm not trying to do crazy things. When I asked it to compile a package with AVX2 it gave me the right command. I asked it to verify and it fed the file into readelf and found the vextracti128， vpand, vpxor instructions, verifying it was compiled with AVX2

Encryption is complex stuff; if you had a problem, it was with that. It sounds to me like you're very ready to use Kubuntu, but maybe need some mentoring for encryption, if that is important to you. Very easy to mess that up if the complex fixes are too much at the moment. Note: at the moment. You learn as you go.

Edit: I don't use ChatGPT, but I have found the google AI that shows up on search, tends to be pretty good at this sort of Linux system problem. Still might overwhelm you with acronyms and such.

ai is not going to kill, the bourgeoisie is.

So how many of the 900 are they vulnerable to?

A bargain!

While I dislike LLMs as much as the next guy, I actually find the use of the term "clankers" to be the opposite of dehumanizing. Admittedly, I think I may be on the more empathetic side, but when I see/hear it used it feels like you are trying to be discriminatory to a race or group of people. I have never considered LLMs or AI to be sentient but that recognition of a pattern triggers an empathy within me that is missing without its use.

i do not understand

My apologies if I have insulted your deep professional knowledge in this matter...

The first number is usually a letter. Typically E, L, T or X. E series are often not very sturdy. The other three are fine. L generally has slightly lower specs and lacks some features. T are thick with a bunch of ports and good specs. X are thinner and lighter. Z are high-end machines with AMD CPUs.

After that you have either a three digit number (e.g. 480) or something like '14 Gen 2'. The numbered ones usually have an extra memory card slot, while the Gen ones usually don't. Touchscreen is an option on most models, so you can't say that from the model number.

Personally I like the T490 a lot. Mine has an IPS screen, usbc, a really comfy keyboard and it's not too heavy. I got it for 280€ish before the RAMapocalypse.

A thing you may want to be aware of is that thinkpad models might have different configurations. That is, the screen or RAM amount, or internal components might differ between instances of the same model, so it's good to keep an eye on the specifics of each offer.

As a general rule I would look at the different thinkpad series (the letter before the model number) and then at the different models (newer is usually better, but some changes like the keyboard have been controversial).

At work I usually feed Copilot the relevant documentation, f.e. a 700 page pdf with the commands for a L3 Network Switch and then ask it to help me find the relevant commands and tell me which pages to read. It digests those 700 pages a lot faster than me and usually point me to the correct commands.

What helped me on laptop searching was that I went on cpubenchmark.net and used a CPU I've known and used, as a benchmark and then compared the CPUs of some laptops within my budget to know what is and isnt worth it. As you said, the RAM and SSD can be upgraded later so its really mainly the CPU you should be concerned with in terms of core specs. Dont forget to look at charging and battery life too! And remember to check repairability especially with more modern thinkpads as some models come with soldered RAM. I learned that the hard way with my current thinkpad that Im writing this on.

As a hobbyist, I'd say that LLMs are usually good at the basics. Once you get into unusual and very specific situations (or the context gets too big), they can get weird, but they're often surprisingly good sparring partners in those cases as well.

Then again, what I might consider unusual, might not be so unusual to an expert.

I'm on Kubuntu, it's fine
