Are you saying we need to start mining the rivers and oceans for nutrients? Or poop directly on the crops?

I'm a Linux software engineer and my in-laws always want me to fix their emails, troubleshoot their Windows driver problems, or work out why their printer is no longer working. Often all three on the same day. Its so difficult to explain to them I'm not "that kind" of computer guy.

What I'm saying is.. can you come to my in-laws house and do expectation management for me? I'm bad at that.

You're thinking of carnivore. Keto is a different thing that focuses on restricting carbs to less than 5g per day and getting most of your calories from good fats, in order to switch your body's primary energy source from carbs to fats, that keeps you fuller and satisfied for longer, encourages the body to burn body fat, stabilises energy spikes and dips throughout the day, stabilises healthy insulin production.

That's why generally they'll use the term "street value" for these kinds of descriptions. That means it's worth that amount because that's what people are willing to pay for it.

I use a whole bunch of Linux distros at work (CentOS, alpine, ubuntu, debian, opensuse) and a bunch on my devices at home (mint, fedora, nobara, and manjaro), and so far the only distro I've seen ship decoupled shared electron libs like you described is Manjaro (and presumably Arch).

You've been autist-baited!

Trillium is a full featured configurable and programmable self-hosted note-taking app that can be easily configured to suit the use case you're describing, it does categories, tags, links to other topics etc.

Someone suggested I try Supermaven yesterday, it's got some good benefits over competitors. It has a 300,000 token context length so it can send a very large amount of context for your completions, and it has an extremely fast API response time (usually less than 200ms) so completions appear near-instantly as you're typing.

It's the first "copilot-like" tool I've used, and I've only been using it for a day, but so far I'm liking it. And I've already signed up for the $10/month pro plan.

We use NoMachine at work too, for WFH users' remote access to internal servers and virtual desktops. It's a nice tidy solution, it was forked from NX library from the X2GO project about 10 years ago and went commercial, they used the commercial money to continue to develop the technology.

Given it was forked from NX/X2GO it definitely works better on Xorg than Wayland, it seems like Wayland support was added as an afterthought bolted on.

No, I thought it was just me!

Sounds like your friend is absolutely not the target audience for a linux-based operating system. If he wants to play Windows games and use software designed for Windows, then he should be using a Windows OS. Anything else would be providing a suboptimal experience for him.

Personally, I've been using various Linux-based systems since 2004, as a software developer I use a lot of command-line utilities, and many tools and applications designed for Linux. If I were using predominantly tools and applications designed for Windows, then I would be using Windows. No need to make life more difficult for yourself and others.
