because you haven’t tried the alternatives

tbf it is hard to try new things, especially initially

but they don’t know the alternatives
like a child who only eats one type of food but never even touched others

that was a pretty valid response in 2004
last few years tho …

oh okay if you can get a 4tb ssd for 130€ that’s a good deal, if it’s not a scam

why sdd for storage? 4 tb hd costs less than half of an ssd. even for the system it’s enough, if you can stomach a 20 sec boot instead of 5

also, it’s just stating the obvious, but it’s not on a company’s server that will sell all your info to the highest bidder

nah older laptops flourish with linux. get ventoy and you can already try out distros without getting committed

oh well we will use windows for everything i guess, because not enough people use linux, no need to even try before there is a 100% solution

so while not the same, it’s a fairly similar field, it is a safe to assume that similar tools can be used. not yet though, the tool is not ready.
why is there a study for this? other than hype - for “ai”, which this arguably isn’t

is this what the article talks about?

it’s useless hype, “ai could do x one day” is speculation at best

mint, pop os works with my rtx 2060, I’ve played through half life alyx on mint
but just dual boot, have a fallback windows install

but pop still uses x11, isn’t it? even the 24 beta, it’s a mix of wayland and x11, as far as i can tell

why switch distro? i too am planning to switch to amd, but i can only see pop getting better from it

one could say, op is a master baiter

i haven’t used it, only read some available documentation, but it seems like a subscription service to access a server with stuff of dubious legality on it, but please correct me if i’m wrong. i kinda want to get into it but, as i was saying, i fail to see how it is better than torrenting

tape

i get how usenet is better than streaming from a popup filled website, but i fail to see how it is better than torrenting
qbittorrent has built-in search as well

just buy an extra ssd (i’d recommend 200 gigs at least, but if you’re gaming, obvs more space is needed), and install linux mint or pop os on it. imo pop is easier, but mint is more windows-like
set your bios to boot from the new ssd, and make sure you install everything on the same drive
and just keep the windows install, so if you need it or linux is too hard, you can go back easily
i think you have physical space for several more sata drives, so if you need even more space you can get a larger regular hdd, for linux stuff

fyi, while most games will happily run on linux, but you can’t use the same steam library folder, i’ve tried lol, so take that into consideration (however other loaders, like heroic launcher and lutris can run stuff installed on a windows partition, as long as the prefix is on a linux one. technically i guess you could use drm free steam installs too, but i’m already getting into the weeds, for simplicity’s sake, just use a separate drive)

you can use ntfs (windows) partitions, for example i use two for downloads, movies, music and other platform agnostic stuff

i’d be happy to help if you need it
