Oh, then yeah, Fedora is closest. But I’d recommend at least trying an immutable distro --, immutable distributions have been excellent to me (and I dig in my systems a lot), so much so that I’m considering moving my server over, and we already use them on our Linux fleet at work.

I have run Fedora for over a decade and switched to Bazzite a couple years ago for my desktop (Fedora still on my server).

In short, yes, but I wouldn’t recommend it. You can learn what you need to directly on Bazzite. If you’re looking for help, Bazzite is most similar to Fedora Silverblue (not regular Fedora) under the covers. The differences between regular Fedora and Bazzite are substantial enough that you’ll run into some things you’d need to research twice, once for Fedora then again for Bazzite. Keep it simple and just use Bazzite.

If you want or need a distribution with a different focus, you should look at the other Universal Blue (ublue) options. Bazzite is built on ublue for gamers, but uBlue also builds for other use cases. Aurora for general desktop, Bluefin for workstation, and uCore for servers.

About a decade ago, Linux switched to proactively swapping out inactive memory pages.

Yup. Some are doing well (like Microsoft with Halo, surprisingly…), others are actively denying doing anti-cheat on Linux. Here’s the website to track them:

Bazzite was the distro that got me to kill the Windows 10 install on my gaming machine. Steam Deck catalyzed the move, but Bazzite was the final piece. Steam comes pre-baked in Bazzite, as does your graphics drives, and some multi-store frontends (I forget which atm), and some other quality of life bits. And Jellyfin Media Player is on Flathub, so installs easily via Flatpak.

Definitely fewer interesting products.

Steve:

• iMac, especially the first couple
• iPod
• PowerMac
• iPhone
• iPad

Tim:

• Apple Watch
• Vision Pro

… and the idea for Watch may have started during Steve’s time, too. And I’m probably forgetting some of the ones during Steve’s time.

The video addresses this. The biological term “fruit” is not accurate for culinary use. Lots of things we eat are biologically fruit, but you’d get weird looks for calling it a “fruit” while eating it. The video gives a lot of examples of botanical-fruit-but-not-culinary-fruit, including cucumbers, peppers, corn, eggplant, peas, pumpkins, and broccoli (specifically the buds).

Fruits vs vegetables is an arbitrary, near-meaningless distinction. See here: https://youtube.com/watch?v=E8mcTIEVKUU

The Archer clip is wrong. Webster literally lists biennial as a definition for biannual, along with twice a year.

Cambridge says the same:

Oxford put their stuff behind a paywall.

Ok, cool. That’s more my speed.

If you want to build a camera platform, a build with Ardupilot software or maybe iNav are your best options. They have very specific hardware requirements, though. Ardupilot has pretty exhaustive documentation, though.

If you want to get into racing or acrobatics, you can get either build an FPV quad from parts, or buy a “bind-n-fly” (BNF) – Joshua Bardwell on Youtube is probably the place to start learning. You can get a tiny quad, called a tiny whoop, to fly around inside the house. If you want to do non-FPV, you basically just build an FPV quad but ignore the video system.

Be warned, DIY drones is a huge hobby.

If you’re looking for “camera” drones (not DIY acrobatic or racing drones), DJI is unfortunately the only real option these days. The Neo is around $300 without the controller. Don’t expect stellar performance in wind, though.

Autel, Parrot, and Skydio have all moved out of consumer segments into professional, industrial, and governmental.

Lithium batteries must have some charge, otherwise they break down chemically. Typically, it’s around 40-50% charge, but varies with the exact chemistry of the battery.

And, yes, higher charge means more violent reaction to fire and being punctured for most lithium battery chemistries.

I’m not sure about other chemistries, like NiMH and sodium, that have been used in EVs. But lithium is the most popular.

Well, I guess I’ll be disabling my Telegram account finally. The only thing left that I was doing on it was automatic notifications from the services on my home NAS. Not sure what I’ll do instead. Maybe Matrix?

Not sure about your situation specifically, but restaurants requiring a credit card during reservation is on the rise to combat reservation scalping and the no-shows that res scalping causes.

Here’s the list: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jus_soli#Unrestricted_jus_soli

If I’m counting correctly, 34 countries with unrestricted birthright citizenship, and 40 with restricted.

I wouldn’t consider a consumer-grade router that doesn’t have OpenWRT support. No arbitrary EOL to worry about. I was very happy with OpenWRT until I moved to OPNsense router and Ubiquiti access points. I still use it on my travel router, too.

Edit: Check if your current router is supported by OpenWRT and get more life out of it.

You can thank to phenylephrine’s placebo effect for your improvements:

Note: Some people do feel better on placebos than on nothing. It’s a quark of the human brain. So, if it’s working for you, don’t switch. Or, maybe try pseudoephedrine and feel even better…
