Well, I’m sold. We should definitely turn everything off and wait for the hypothetical reactor to materialise.

So what are you saying, that we should give up on other technologies? Two years before your microreactor is demonstrated?

I agree with the reporter - he needs to port Doom to that mofo.

I built my current PC using one of those PCPartPicker guides, and I’m very happy with it.

The only issue I had was the video driver. I use the Linux Mint Long Term Support version, and the kernel didn’t have a recent enough driver for my card. I just needed to switch to the latest kernel and it was good to go. I actually had no idea how to troubleshoot it, and went to the LM forum to ask for help. I was reading through the guide on what info to supply with help requests and realised that the example fault and solution were the exact ones I was facing!

However, since I almost know nothing , I’m afraid to do things wrong and get a malware, spyware or break security measures of OS.

That right there is the traditional way to learn linux.

My advice is to make a disk image of Mint installed and configured the way you like it, then just reimage the laptop every time you break it.

That’s great! What’s Cosmic Alpha 2?

You’re doing god’s work, son.

Very useful article.

Fatdog is Debian by way of Ubuntu designed to run from a USB drive. There’s documentation on the website.

If you pick a new user-friendly distro, nine times out of ten it’ll run like a dream out of the box.

If you want to change something minor like a desktop background, you might need to search through menus for the settings or ask for advice.

If you want to install new hardware, like swapping in a new video card, you’ll definitely need some assistance.

Account-walled article.

Can’t help but feel there are going to be Unanticipated Consequences for making ‘magic’ a term in an actual science.

Remember when Bill Gates said that open source software was fascist?

Same reason that dude installed Doom on a pregnancy test!

I just finished Quern on the weekend. Beautiful and fun game, but the puzzles really challenged my little brain.

I’m a perma-noob and I was able to do it. Had to re-do a couple of steps because I interpreted instructions that were meant to be literal, but the wiki pages are very comprehensive. I just had to pay attention to the details.

I’m also not a programmer but here’s why Linux is my daily driver:

I like it.

Why not the other way round? Delete your channel and if you can go a month without using Windows, recreate it.

That thumbnail makes it look like you’re about to lean forward and take a bite out of your microphone.

I’m sure it’s great but I’ve had no issue on Mint.
