Half-life: Alyx, Baldur's Gate 3, Elden Ring, ... you get the idea. It's not so much those apps per se, and I'd prefer them to be FLOSS too, rather it's the amazing content and in such rare cases, I'm happy to financially support the creators.

It's a learning process, even decades later you will still learn about differences so don't worry about it. If you do want to learn efficiently IMHO have notes, and ideally share them with others who might be able to help you dig deeper. Enjoy the journey, it's a worthwhile one IMHO.

thanks for the clarification, so arguably then it's a better interface for user who are not familiar with the CLI

Is it better than Ollama and if so how?

Honestly I feel like if you can't give a proper definition of what an OS or a distribution is in a single sentence, then stick to whatever is BOTH popular and matching your standards, both moral and economical.

Feels good to know that with my dedicated /home partition I can re-install my OS in about an hour. So the very notion of "system" feels strange to me, I mean I feel no attachment to it.

PS: yes I have NixOS install on my slow HD but still didn't take the plunge. I imagine it "feels" even better to have "it" declarative.

I did that for years, using LibreElec with Kodi, but moved instead few months ago to "just" minidlna on the RPi, headless, then VLC on the video projector, streaming straight for the RPi.

PS: I do build some things from scratch, including "big" ones like Firefox. I do it because I can prototype with them by modifying just the bits I need. I do like learning how things are made. That being said I don't think it's valuable as an entire system, only on a need to do basis. The true benefit IMHO is the learning, not the running system, so no, not at as a daily driver.

I did a long LONG time ago. I don't even remember so I'd say 20 years ago. It was very interesting. I do recommend doing it at least once... well maybe only once actually. If possible do it on a real computer, not a VM, so that you don't get distracted and feel just a bit of risk. Obviously do NOT do it on your main computer where you have important data, just in case.

I’ve broken my Nvidia driver 4x this week

Genuinely confused by that statement... been using an NVIDIA for years, both closed (to play and work) and open drivers (to test only) and beside having the "wrong" version for CUDA and some graphical bug in specific situation, e.g ALT-Tab out of game or resuming from a game leading to some minor visual glitches, I've never encountered even a reboot. I also have relatively recent drivers but I don't even know which version I have (checked out of curiosity : Driver Version: 525.147.05 CUDA Version: 12.0).

So... I don't get it, what leads you and others to such situation? Are you reverse engineering the drivers? Are you overclocking? Are you changing some specific parameters that are not stable?

I'm asking because this is so different from my experience that I don't get it.

Ah, thanks for that link! I actually read the first few pages on the latest MIT Tech Review some days ago, thought I'd ready the rest and forgot, now I can.
