Eh, it's the work laptop. It's an Ubuntu machine, so it feels kinda wonky and bad right after install anyway.
Tried the PowerPoint clone. Opened our corporate template and hit present. Presentation mode runs sluggish as hell. OnlyOffice is way smoother by comparison.
Uninstalled it right away.
Had the pleasure of installing some HPE proprietary crap on RHEL the other day.
After the cli installer ran it printed: rebooting now.
It then killed PID 1 to force the reboot ...
We were flabbergasted. Why would the first and only method of asking the system to reboot be to shoot the system in the head?
While the technology likely won't go away, some of the companies behind the AI push take huge losses and may collapse. OpenAI, Oracle, Microsoft and the bunch are spending insane amounts of money on datacenter buildout that may never return a profit.
Most AI subscriptions for instance are priced under cost to lock users in. However, unlike traditional services, it's trivial for a user to migrate to a competitor or (eventually) run a local model. Currently that market doesn't return a profit and it's questionable if it ever will
Increasingly, this looks like a death spiral of tech giants where nobody can admit to the sunk cost fallacy. Unfortunately these companies are in everybody's investment or retirement funds, so when they crash the economy will crash with it. I think that would be the "AI failing". Not the technical aspect, but rather the economical aspect.
Fedora is so, so nice. I have it on all my personal computers.
At my work they only tolerate Ubuntu. My God, it can be so frustrating. Snap gets in the way constantly. Somehow Ubuntu LTS seems to have a knack for precisely choosing the worst package versions for a workstation.
Fedora on the other hand just gets out of my way and lets me get shit done.
Solaar is the one I use
