Something that hasn’t been mentioned yet is that open wrt works on cheap devices (check compatibility first) including in all in one router / ap combos. For home use, the most likely used feature will be cake qos which will make a difference even without crazy speeds. Though anything that gives security updates is an upgrade from generic consumer routers

With binary packages it’s actually doable on a laptop. Also newer laptops have tons of low power cores which are great for something highly parallel like compiling.

I wish gentoo was more explored, I felt the same way and then it finally scratched the itch of things working (perhaps even too many options). I actually ended up using gentoo because it was less of a headache to just get things to work in a way that does not feel hacky

May I introduce you to our lord and savior portage?

Just have to wait until cat 9 comes out with gravitational lensing

Yeah, and you need systemd to read the binary logs. Though I think there may be a setting to change to text logs, I am not sure because I avoid systemd when I can

Still boggles my mind that systemd being terrible is still a debate. Like of all things, wouldn’t text logs make sense?

I saw a post a while ago that made the point that wine might end up being the stable Linux abi, we might come full circle

For research studies you are unironically required to write consent forms so a middle schooler can understand them because that’s the average level of comprehension in the USA

Logind is dead, long live elogind

I’ve found kde to be pretty straight forward, it’s also the most similar to windows so you get a general feel for where everything should be. Also for me, plasma just works, but if you are unsure and using fedora you can try a love usb with each desktop before installing

Unironically love gentoo for this as portage will let you know there is news to read and the command to read it. For changes the news is great and tells you step by step what to do

Honestly we should just use 4 bit ip addresses, it’s too hard for me to remember ipv4 addresses anyways. Carrier grade NAT will take care of the rest.
