"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

What's the reasons not to try a Linux live boot though (Mint seems popular for first timers), and see if you like the look & feel? No need to install anything, but yes you need to disable secure boot possibly (temporarily to boot from USB)
Oh I've got a mini PC for Linux, and a Legion Go S for gaming, but I need my main one for work.
Much easier to use Windows than convince thousands of customers to swap and rewrite 20 years of code in something else.
Ah, work. Understood. I migrated my work tasks away from stuff needing windows to avoid that dependency :)
I did advocate for Linux at one point, but any issues quickly became my issues for recommending it, so I stopped.
I can see that happening... People somehow refuse to learn, yet at the same time they run to computer-savy family / friends whenever their windows breaks. I put a dead stop to Windows support for my parents ages ago - I told them "if you won't let me teach you how to help yourself, then I can't help you anymore"
Most of my family finally got Android tablets. Most of them never really needed a PC to start with. Email and browsing was about it.
we were too old for that ;)
