In my experience a stable distribution is a “set and forget”, unless you start tinkering with it.

I have countless of users where I’ve installed something like Linux Mint and it’s been literally running for years without any issues. These users have no idea how to use a computer, except for logging in and opening the browser.

Obviously the more complex a setup, the more shit can go wrong.

Most people who go out and buy a computer doesn't understand what an OS is. If Linux was standard when you bought a PC, it would be the dominating OS. I mean, you could switch the OS to Linux on the computers and I think most people wouldn't realise when they buy it lol

Yes. You can mirror videos from other instances. This also work as a kind of redundancy, if the PeerTube instance with the original video is down.

PeerTube is a video sharing platform, just like YouTube or Vimeo. Videos you watch on PeerTube is hosted on a PeerTube instance.

You are right, but the users also need to be watching the video at the same resolution. A PeerTube instance can also function as a peer.

If multiple people are watching the same video, at the same resolution, it uses WebRTC (HLS P2P) to share data between them, saving bandwidth from the PeerTube instance.

A PeerTube instance can also function as a peer (seed) for another PeerTube instance.

What do you mean? It’s a video made by The Linux Experiment, where he talks about the news.

Lenovo has become utter crap. At work, I’m replacing our Lenovo’s with the Framework 13
