Drink your verification can to install security updates.

Four statements of fact, but we’ve gotta get our little blurb in there, too…

The good news is that something like this already exists; just goes to show it’s a matter of time before more refined options are developed.

As an aside, there are now plugins for Noctalia Shell, including a pretty good “Keybind Cheatsheet” plugin, which may make it easier to pick up and play with things like niri.

So there’s not a full distro built around it, or even a full desktop environment, but you should check out niri. Keyboard focused, infinite scrolling, Wayland tiling window manager.

There is a nixOS flake or it can be installed over Arch, Ubuntu, or whatever else you want.

The users are giving a recommendation for the image banner at the top of the post. OP says done once it’s been set.

Do you have your wifi password saved in your KDE wallet?

There is an option to not save your wifi password using the wallet, otherwise you will be prompted at startup as soon as it attempts to connect to wifi.

Maybe a positive side effect will be OS and applications beginning to be more conscious of their RAM consumption. I am absolutely certain that due to the era of cheap memory storage, applications (browsers especially) have gotten insanely bloated.

Keep AI models out of your web browser and core operating system, and maybe 4GB can still cut it.

Do we really need more than 640k of RAM?

In short, I want Linux to work for me and other technically-minded enthusiasts […] Is this an elitist view? I don’t think so.

Is it elitist to gatekeep Linux for technically minded enthusiasts? Yes.

Especially when they end the article with “I for one hope it never does”. Definition of gatekeeping and toxic elitism.

If you build a house, but hire a guard for the front gate, do you even own the house?!

Vibe coding is one thing, but I am curious about the state of using of AI tools to reduce the cost of generating 3D assets, animations, and textures. I assume they are introducing this into Ignite and their other build tools, for more rapid prototyping if nothing else.

AMD announced they were released earlier than planned. Even if they were always intended to be released open source eventually, it was still not a planned release.

You can buy extended security updates, if you are using a Microsoft cloud account to sign in.

Made in Abyss is pretty insane.

I noted an experimental rule in uBO to address delays, but have not tried it yet myself.

Yes, but 20 billion parameters is too much for most GPUs, regardless of quantization. You would need at least 14GB, and even that’s unlikely without offloading major parts to the CPU and system RAM (which kills the token rate).

Imagine Tylenol is found to cure a disease.

Tylenol is already approved, with known conditions under which it is safe and not safe.

Therefore, it is easier and safer to test a new use for Tylenol than starting from scratch testing a previously unknown drug.

Your biggest issue is going to be dealing with multiple partitions, unless you can find another boot disk, because your disk is pretty full. I would strongly recommend getting a second disk, unless you are willing to delete a lot of (presumably) game executables.

It is also a good idea to have a relatively smaller Linux partition, and point your Steam library and other documents to a separate data partition. My 1TB nvme has 150MB EFI FAT32 partition, a 100GB ext4 root partition (Linux is installed here), and the remaining ~900GB as my ext4 data partition. This way, if you choose to install a different Linux, or blow away your root partition, you can relink your Steam/Music/Video Libraries and local AI models, and get up and running again very quickly.

Outside of the disk, my top recommendation is to archive your active steam games, so you can restore them into Linux without fully re-downloading later. Additionally, unless your games are in Steam Cloud, you will also have a bit of a time restoring save files to the new OS, as the file paths will be different than you are used to on Windows.

My second recommendation is to ensure secure boot is disabled in your BIOS; there are currently known issues with driver signing with the NVIDIA driver.

Finally, assuming you’re on a Ubuntu-based distro like Mint, ensure you install Steam from the .deb or apt package, not the flatpak. On Mint, “Install Steam” is available right in the start menu.

Somewhat the opposite, but can it run Crysis?
