It makes me start looking for the next thing. Got my jellyfin, got my pi hole, my retro console and just recently home assistant set up. (Just a few more buts to add to that). Next i think i am going to look into self hosting a cloud storage solution. Like google drive/photos etc. Would be nice to make my own backups and have them offline

Will this help lower ram prices?

And i am going to point out that i responded to the part of your comment that i had a problem with.

I don’t know anything about the “point of your post” so i can’t comment.

But i would say that after brief google search, if Tim Sweeney wants to defend AIs making deepfake porn then X is 100% thr best platform to do it on. 🙄

Right wingers? You mean a nazi? A nazi took twitter that was traditionally not a political platform. It was not left wing. Google says a study showed that it was algorithmicly right leaning in terms of content.

Your comment is a load of bollocks.

Sorry to say.

Great points.

But i feel like they apply more to people who are already using linux. For those struggling to make the switch i would argue ease of use and familiarity are key. Mint and ubuntu are a great place to start.

You are right though.

Newbies

https://linuxmint.com/

https://ubuntu.com/

Experienced

http://fedoraproject.org/

http://www.debian.org/

Advanced

https://www.kali.org/

http://www.archlinux.org/

Or just shop around. Its free and its better than windows

Also a raspberry pi with raspian is a great place to start for cheap. https://www.raspberrypi.com/software/operating-systems/

Got any tips on a good model to get? I want one that i can access remotely via my phone. I have to relevant tools to make it remotely accessible but the cameras need to be able to speak to my software. I have a raspberry pi that i can use as a server.

Yeah, i meant the cone, not the case

I thought audio quality was more to do with the source and the destination. If you have a shit needle on a record or a speaker made of wood then its gonna sound like ass.

I never once thought it had anything to do with the cables. Unless they were frayed or damaged in some way.

But i am not an audiophile, i record my own music and mix etc, but never worried about cable quality before.

I was too scared to move to linux at the time. It was always something i had many misconceptions about, that only people with specialist knowledge could use and that if i wanted anything to work i would need to know how to code at an advanced level.

I cant speak for then but now at least i have found that the communities are incredible, loads of work is being done to get everything to work and easy to set up. Github is amazing and i am learning slowly to use and love linux.

So far i have only worked with raspberry pis so raspiOS and linux Mint cinnamon. But i am going to be getting a small PC to test different linux distros on until i find the best one for me. Although Mint has been great so far.

I switched to linux at the end of last year too! I am part of that increase and i like it.

Nice that you have downvotes but no one had anything to say to you.

I dont know personally but if i had to guess i would say it might be harmful to local businesses but thats the only way it can be harmful to the people it needs to be. How do you police which businesses are not corporate owned? Do we rely on good faith? Word of mouth?

Plus i am not sure a business that cant afford to do without a day of business is doing very well.

I guessed you meant “end to end, as well as 3rd end” before reading on.

Lose? He means ‘never regain’ right?

Yeah but people just WINE about linux.

Your individual change is a drop in the ocean but everyone making that change is a tidal wave. I have very recently moved to linux after almost 30 years using windows. It is an incredible set of OSs with brilliant support from a fantastic community and it keeps getting better.

We need to make the change and encourage others too.

Whilst you are probably right, upvotes are not equal to good content. There is a strong correlation between votes and good content but one is not the cause of the other.

Eg. Facists upvoting facist content. Its not good content, but its got lots of upvotes.

We found the biggest moron on the internet.

I guess the AI writing windows 11 code keeps getting the taskbar wrong.

Yeah, cant do any transcoding though, but i dont need 4k for everything. Though as long as my client can play the format of the video then theres no issue. It would be easier with a mini PC but im enjoying learning linux and really liking the rasberry pi in general.

In terms of SSD. I could use a HDD. But it comes with 2 disadvantages. 1 is that media i copy from other devices to the drive takes A LOT longer to transfer. And 2, i have a big clunky HDD on my desk next to my 5 inch Pi… just makes more sense to use an SSD.

But essentially i guess its just not great to assume that there is no use case for them for home users just because you dont have a use case for them personally.
