During installation make sure to read up on atomic distros, there are some changes like package handling or the immutable system, but it's not a big hurdle. Have fun!

Am I hearing that I just need to switch to Bazzite and this problem disappears??

Yes, simple as that. I use Bazzite for ~2years now on my main desktop with nvidia and a legion go. It really is "install and forget it's linux". It's almost too good to be true...let's hope the big "enshitification" doesn't follow soon.

I’d expect that Bazzite and Mint would use the same Nvidia proprietary drivers

Expect a big leap in performance, they do a lot of magic with the kernel on Bazzite. It's really fun.

Boluarte faced widespread protests after she assumed power in late 2022, leading to dozens of deaths and a plunge in her popularity levels, which oscillated between 2% and 4% in the days leading up to her ouster. Congress – which was headed by Jerí before he became president – is almost equally unpopular, with a single-digit approval rating.

It's in there, last two paragraphs. The new president is just an updated version of the old one, with his own major corruption accusations:

Jerí, 38, has promised to make crime his top priority but has faced a number of scandals, including corruption allegations and a now-shelved investigation for sexual assault. Jerí has denied wrongdoing in both cases and expressed willingness to cooperate with any corruption investigation.

Can you still install an OSS alternative instead of their locked OS? I am using a F4-420 with TrueNAS for more then 6 years now, as I remember they changed something in their firmware so you are not able to install another OS anymore. But I can be wrong, my Terramaster runs just fine on TrueNAS (community edition). It's an awesome and trouble free NAS.

I am so happy about my MP3 collection from the last ~20 years. And vinyl is back, that's a win as well. Who needs datacollecting-streaming-ad-services?

Yikes, indeed. The entire complex around this monster is a deep and horrifying rabbithole.

What happens when they start a war in space? Will we only realize once we all get hit on the head by space debris? There are already reports on satellites being used to hunt other space stuff.

And will there be journalists in space by 2030, maybe reporting live from Moonstation-3?

e/OS, year 7 or 8. Not the Murena edition, I installed it myself. It works for me since FP3, but I'm not a power user. Little bit of banking, Signal and phone. I'm not interested in having the most secure, uber-mystified computer in my pocket, I'm not a spy. It's de-googled, uses only one app with ChatGPT which you can just deactivate. Enough privacy for me.

When contacted by the Guardian for comment, an automatic response from the US Capitol police public information office was sent that said the office is “closed for routine business” during the funding-related federal government shutdown that began on 1 October. “The office will reopen when the federal government is funded,” the response said.

So...they are NOT investigating at the moment.

Future "leaders"? This room full of Cartmans, with the depth of a random LoL-chat on a drunk saturday night? Good luck.

The articel is more about ASI and AGI. But this part is interesting:

But there's a distinctly human flaw. I once met a former bodyguard of one billionaire with his own "bunker", who told me his security team's first priority, if this really did happen, would be to eliminate said boss and get in the bunker themselves. And he didn't seem to be joking.

I wonder how they prepare for this problem. The human factor IS the biggest flaw in the whole "endtime-bunker" idiocy.
