Can you only get hard by trolling? Or are you just really seriously lonely and depressed?

Mint or Fedora. KISS.

Do you live in a high density urban environment?

Because if so, that totally makes sense, and the other benefit of 5GHz/6GHz not traveling too far outside your apartment or condo wall, is pretty nifty as well.

But if you live in a house in the suburbs, man, that is commitment well outside of necessity, or convenience. Not saying it's bad choice per se, just seems unnecessarily burdensome IMO.

TBF I've never configured an Arch system from scratch, so maybe it's me that's missing out.

The thing about Fedora that got me to stop switching, was that it just felt more adult then the various and fashionable Ubuntu based distros, or any other well regarded distro I used over the years. The right mix of stability and new features/support, pretty much out of the box.

Also, after tweaking Gnome a little bit for a more Windows 10 dock/bar style launcher/menu, it's been perfect for me. Think I've been rolling with it since 38 now.

Anyways, best of luck with your new box.

Do whatever works best for you.

I will say that after years and years of regularly switching workstation and laptop distros for a variety of reasons, after finally giving Fedora a shake, I'm done. I've installed it on both my primary laptop and desktops and can't imagine switching again.

But I am still sticking with Debian as my primary server base.

Oh, just FYI I don't game, so if there are some HDR features for gaming you're hoping for, I can't speak to that.

Running Fedora with dual HDR monitors just fine, but it's entirely possible that something is off that I'm not catching. They're also running off my Nvidia GPU.

I'll just add that they look the same as when I used to run Win10 on the same box.

DoD already started this with their Modular Open Systems Approach (MOSA).

And I agree, the government should use its power to force interoperable and open standards wherever possible and relevant.

I think the real question is, what do you want to repurpose it for?

Because the answer to your question is yes, it is usable, but whether or not it's capable of what you want to use it for, we can't say without more information.

Linux installation appears to be possible. This is a wiki to an Arch on ARM distro, but you might want to look for something a bit more user friendly if you're not comfortable with Arch.

Just remember, it's a fairly low spec machine. Think of it like a Raspberry Pi with a keyboard and monitor built in, in terms of what you can hope to run on it.

Mostly horseshit clickbait. They are both in a lower security dormitory style lockup at the same holding facility e.g. large room with a lot of bunk beds.

...Combs began living in the same unit as Bankman-Fried and sleeping in a “dormitory-style” room with a number of other defendants last week after he was arrested...

I'm going to need you to actually quote which part of my comment you're responding to.

As far as I can tell, what you wrote has exactly nothing to do with anything that I said.

[–] circuscritic@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 months ago

At no point did I mention laws, or legal loopholes.

And I certainly never mentioned anything about the United States, or the legal liability of Twitter, except as in response to your comment.

I think you're confusing my acknowledgment of the daily reality of a country that is currently divided between 3 and 5 major and minor factions, all in various states of civil conflict, with being something else entirely.

I wasn't providing any opinion, or analysis, on the legality from Twitter's perspective. I certainly wasn't making any comparisons to laws in the United States and Yemen, or anything else that you've been talking about since your first comment.

I would make the "duh no shit this is clickbait" observation if the BBC ran yet another story about how kids are selling drugs on Snapchat or Instagram.
