Guess i'm autistic lol. I did install Linux on my laptop when i was 12, but it didn't last very long. The only reason i installed it is because i felt bored with the Windows UI, and distros like Ubuntu and Mint looked really interesting at the time. After i realized that i couldn't get my EXEs to work i just went back to Windows lol.

It wasn't until LTT made their video about using PopOS instead of Windows 11 back in 2021 that i remembered Linux even existed. I decided to give it a shot since Windows 10 had already started to freak me out for a while with their weird questions like asking if they can use my handwriting data. The rest is history. I know LTT gets a lot of flack for how they've handled their Linux content, and some of it is deserved, but if it wasn't for me seeing that video i wouldn't have given it a try.

Gave you another downvote, since it seems to upset you so much

I don't use one at all. I was kinda the opposite of you. I started out thinking AI seemed pretty cool, and i tried using a local model for a little bit, but aside from asking it some simple questions i couldn't get into the habit of using it. To me it still seems faster to just search the internet myself, plus you already have to factcheck what an AI tells you anyway, so may as well look it up myself. Over the years seeing the mess that it is causing i've grown to hate the technology, and i hope people are right about this "bubble" existing, cause i can't wait for it to pop.

We aren't idolizing mediocre programming, that's why we dislike AI

Not very helpful but for what it's worth i had issues with bottles lately too. Don't know if it's the same issue, but when i tried to do pretty much anything with it it would fail. When i ran it in the terminal it seemed to be caused by bottles trying to download some dependencies in the background, but they all failed to download. I couldn't find recent issues about it and couldn't find a fix, so i ended up using heroic instead. This was on the latest flatpak at the time.

It's for this reason that i'm starting to eye openbsd. Apart from wifi for my laptop not working it seems surprisingly compatible in terms of hardware, but the bigger issue would be that i would be more limited when it comes to gaming. As a Guix/Nix enjoyer i would also kinda miss declaring my OS through code. I'm probably sticking with linux for the time being but i'm gonna try getting more familiar with openbsd as well

Bruh is that real? Seems really embarrassing to me lmao

They just seem to love AI in general. It's also a great tool to generate fake videos and spread misinformation

Damn man, like if it bothers you THAT much, either log off or stop using AI.

Well good for you, i don't care if you want to use it, but it's to be expected you're gonna rub people the wrong way when you become so combative out of the gate.

Thanks! Yeah i'm sure there has to be another way to get into that overlay with my tv. Kinda weird that they made the remote so minimal in terms of buttons on this newer model

Ah, that's a problem, i have a C5 and my remote doesn't have a green button lol
