I heard some investors were happy for this to happen as too much money was getting spent on datacenters, so a slowdown could be good for them in the long term, like a breather to pile up some more cash to go at it again

AI is just so big of a thing to ever stop, you might get small bumps here and there but you would need to stop it WORLDWIDE for something like this to work, no country will want to be in a permanent disadvantage by not using AI, and even if AI is “banned” how do you actually enforce it? Such a powerful technology would still be used even after the ban, they would just hide it better

What do you get out of a rolling release? I get that you get newer stuff faster, but what does that do for your day to day use?

anecdotal experience tells me people who use arch break their system way more than people who use mint, not exactly sure why that happens

Well if you are familiar with servers I’d can’t stop myself from shilling the setup i use, you install mint, then you set up i3 as the window manager, 500mb of ram on idle, I set it up in a 4gb ram laptop and runs beautifully, stable and never breaks too.

I was setting up mint for my mom the other day, and put kernel 7 on it, i thing it has been enabled recently as an option.

damn really? I’d never would have guessed that

yea I don’t wanna change just to be hip, I literally don’t know the differences between distros, I’m just wondering if I’m missing out on something, not in like the way gui and animations works, but the other stuff
