It also bans the public display of foreign flags

Singapore currently doesn't recognise Palestine. One could argue that the flag isnt a foreign flag according to the government of Singapore.

    Your English is fine, but you are confusing a bunch of different things.

    Linux as a kernel is very lightweight, its used heavily in IoT and embedded. Raspberry Pi's and phones happily run linux. Your kernel isnt using much system resources at all.

    Your Linux distro on the other hand is usually where the "bloat" lives, but there is plenty of choices there. You can choose from any of the lightweight Linux (MX Linux, antiX Linux etc) which require less than 1GB of ram, and run on old 32bit CPUs.

    Linux isnt putting AI into the system, I don't know what you mean by that, but they are accepting code written by AI, as long as a human is accepting responsibility. Redux is much more hardline about AI, so if that matters to you then sure.

    If you are finding Linux buggy, it would be wise to look into exactly what is wrong, because its likely not the kernel, and also likely solved by someone already. I haven't seen a kernel crash in decades.

    You are assuming that the company cares about training, and not just a source of cheap labour. Apprentices are paid barely above minimum wage in Aus, and there are kickbacks to the companies to encourage employing them.

    If it worked as you described (which is how it should work), I would absolutely agree with you, but the system in Aus happily churns out some absolute duds. Just like the uni system.

    Also, for what its worth, many uni degrees include a year of paid internship, but there are similar issues that allow duds to sail through there as well.

    At the time, it wasn't clear that VRAM beyond 8GB was beneficial. Most cards at the time had basically capped at 8 for ages, and I wanted performance for ray tracing. In hindsight it was a bad call, but for gaming it made sense.

    Not 24/7, I'd just start my PC when I need it, but its still more power than I'd like.

    Keeping data local does make sense, which is why I have been toying with it. I can run relatively stepped on gemma4 models in 8GB, so for now, I'm happy, but im definitely looking at a Nvidia P40 as a second card.
