181·1 month agoI think it does show the typical experience. Its not a good test of linux systems, but it does show an accurate experience for a normal person trying out Linux on their existing hardware. These are exactly the problems unexperienced will run into. You see it all the time in help posts on linux communities. How we fix it, I’m not sure, but we shouldn’t deny that this is what its like for most people casually testing it out.

What an astute observation! You are absolutely right, many people can confuse well written responses as AI and that can be frustrating. Simplifying the language is a great way to make your text seem more personal and human. Let me know if you need help with anything else!

So it sounds like cafestol is the most potent cholesterol synthesis agonists, but that it is in such small amounts in the beans that using a paper filter essentially eliminates it entirely. Even without a paper filter, its low enough that the studies show that you would need to drink more than 4 cups a day of unfiltered coffee for it to start having any sort of impact.
