I got my kid a used dell that was $90 on eBay and it’s running linux just fine with the 8th Gen i5. If you need more you can likely just spend 100 more. I have a hard time justification for new unless you have a need for specific hardware

It always comes right after I migrate my family members. Same thing with lastpass and I’m still trying to get people off that.

I didn’t game, but use Bazzite. It has worked on every system I’ve installed it on, even an old AMD A6. I just feel safe in there, but it’s not perfect. And the distro is large.

I have been playing with Incus recently.

You can run Windows in vms on Linux if you don’t need screaming performance. I think you can directly install from iso with Incus as well. I haven’t find this yet, i used Qemu instead.

You could spin up a vm with mx and see how it works.

Will do. I think Asus stopped sending fw updates so I’m hoping to get a few more years out of this unit.

I’m running an older Asus router they is listed on the OpenWrt site. Would it be the most affordable option to just install open wrt on this device and manually bring over my current configs?

Same, i have 64GB, but only to play with lmstudio.

On the pc and c64 it was pretty easy. Are we also talking about how everyone ran the WinZip eval?

They were expensive as hell thats why.

I only pick up the new LTS when the next non-LTS is released

I’ve been using Feeder https://f-droid.org/packages/com.nononsenseapps.feeder/ Works for my needs, but I haven’t explored much.

I’m pretty sure if code is AI generated it’s likely considered original, but I’m not a lawyer by any stretch.

I use AI for researching what existing software or projects exist to help my build up my system that I then suffer through making.

What they mean is rewrite something that has a LICENSE my company can’t use.

I run llms using a 780m you’ll be fine. I get pretty close to 10 tokens a second for larger 20B+ models.

What does this mean for the ISP supplied units?

The work culture is bad in China, I would not want to work 997.

I picked up a pixel 8 pro to replace my 6 pro.
