As others have suggested, I'll probably just throw LTSC on it and call it a day. That's what I did for my DJ laptop (the mixing hardware isn't compatible with Linux), and it works phenomenally. It's the perfect Windows OS for a single-use PC.

Tried it again a few months ago when HDR support first dropped in KDE. It didn't work at all. Everything was desaturated and dim. Literally the opposite of what HDR is supposed to do.

I'm giving it another year before I try Linux again. Hopefully the bugs are sorted by then.

GTA Online is even worse. Edited my comment.

Of course. You wouldn't want to drive for them. The stupid AI cameras are always watching. In the warehouse nobody pays attention to you.

You misunderstood. What I meant is that for every hour you work, you get an hour of paid time off. So if you work 40 hours one week, you could go the entire next week without showing up to work at all if you wanted to, and still get paid for it.

As someone who worked there for a year, the nice thing about Amazon is that managers don't harass you—even if you come in late every single day—and the 40 hours of paid personal time granted every week is great too. It's the kind of job where you can just put on your headphones and zone out, and never have to come in on days when you don't feel like it. Just call off in the app.

Still wouldn't recommend that anyone works there. Everything else about the job sucks.

How do you know for sure that they're criminals, just because they're not American? None of them have even been charged with anything. Innocent until proven guilty.

You should be more concerned about the convicted rapist with 34 felonies who is currently in the oval office. Also quit being a racist piece of shit.

Agreed; when you have a modern machine with a fast CPU and a PCIe 5.0 NVME, loading screens no longer exist in ~~any~~ most games that are at least a couple of years old.

I'm trying but the girlfriend refuses. She watches YouTube on the TV and does everything else on her phone; literally only uses the laptop to play The Sims 4 (which her 1080ti can handle just fine), yet she's convinced that she will need a brand new gaming machine with a 4090/5090 as soon as Microsoft dumps WIn10. She's afraid that she'll completely break the OS if she switches to Linux. (Which is plausible, though unlikely.

I'm hoping she'll change her mind as soon as she realizes just how much more GPUs cost these days, especially mobile ones.

It's okay, nobody knows how to properly link posts from other instances. As far as I'm aware, a proper linking system is only implemented for user profiles and communities.

For an uncensored LLM that cites sources, use Perplexity.

For images, go directly to a website for an image generator, rather than having an LLM be the middleman for you.
