Any idea what should I get for my NAS then? I've been looking at Lexar NM790 as one of the contenders, others being Seagate Firecuda 530 and WD RED SN700. My target is 2TB not too expensive nvme drive.

Yep, I meant U series, which (at least where I live) were covering vast majority of the market. There was occasional HQ here and there, but not that often. AMDs offerings at the time were mediocre and nobody really used them so for me, that era basically overlaps with Intel U series hegemony when speaking about laptop cpus.

I mean mainstream processors of that age. Even regular i7s of 7th gen were just dual cores with HT.

Ah, so there won't be overflow of big bussiness 8th gen laptops... Nevermind, I'd still avoid 7th gen myself.

If I were to buy used laptop, I'd want 8th gen or newer because that's where intel finally made more than dual core for mobile.

"You should definitely try LFS, it's great and you'll have exactly what you want!"

"Arch btw! Customize everything and no bloat, hurr durr!"

"NixOS is the future, go for it!"

Not stupid, she's definitely not stupid. It's that everyone has their own quirks maybe? And different expectations.

I'm a lazy fuck. That's why I use openSUSE Tumbleweed myself that has snapper preconfigured. I roll updates once I have time/will, sometimes twice a week, sometimes multiple months between. It's fucking solid! And even if it breaks, it's couple minutes to get it back to working condition and then I wait a week and next update is fine. This is the best!

I have a colleague. She doesn't like Windows (more like she doesn't like MS spying), has a laptop with Ubuntu, but she also doesn't like change.

This put her in weird situation, when she still has PC with Windows 7, outdated firefox and complains youtube is borked all the time. And once she moves to laptop, there's old Ubuntu (more than couple major releases old) which was never updated, because "she liked it that way". Guess what? Similar problems.

I told her many times that if she wanted carefree linux experience, she should update it once in a while, there's no evil MS behind it, but no. She never updates because reasons. She rather visit some obscure website that presents some terminal commands she doean't understand, but copy them over anyway and voila... the linux is in even worse state than before.

That's why linux is not hotfix for everything.

So it uses both? Interesting.

It used to be, it's Bing nowadays I believe.

//edit: it says it uses google on the site, but I remember there was a bit of shitshow on the internetz ~year ago when they used bing instead. So... I'm confused now.

I got lost in this wordpress thing. Tried to read few (probably low quality informed-as-I-am) articles and now I'm even more lost. Can someone ELI5 what's going on, who's the good guy, who's the bad guy, whether wordpress (product) is to be avoided, etc. Thank you.
