If you are comfortable using fedora or if you are fine learning about fedora, use fedora.

I personally wouldn’t use Ubuntu with it’s recent controversy in specific the “explicit AI features” planned to be implemented within ubuntu. I’d suggest avoiding it out of privacy concerns even if it runs locally on your system.

the general trend for AI adoption, is to make it accessible for anyone to onboard, and then slowly control the users by (for example) making users connect to their servers to use their chatbot which then they can train, and have a better profile of you.

Canonical never mentioned that, in fact they mentioned quite the inverse. but any implementation of an AI chatbot, Tech companies aren’t doing it because of how revolutionary AI is. The AI is the product and your data is what they want.

I’m not saying canonical is pursuing that initiative, but that’s generally how it goes for most tech companies. Don’t take my word for it, ask yourself, “what service does Ubuntu provide? what financial backing (sponsorships) do they have?” I’ve looked far and wide and the only thing I’ve found is, they offer a free OS install as their consumer grade product, and a subscription service to their enterprise network that is clearly not a sustainable business model (from an engineering perspective) for a multi-thousand employee company.

I’ve been thinking about AI in the workspace recently, these companies are implementing AI into everything despite our comments to remove it. that got me thinking, the US is currently in an economic bubble on an empty promise that AI will someday be relevant. It clearly isn’t benefiting society as of late, so they encourage workspaces to use it and to continue hoisting the stock market by it’s propaganda (that it is relevant).

Because workspaces know the US is in deep shit right now, and so you know what’s worse than delivering shitty software, an economic crash.

don’t put this on yourself, preserve the shitty code reviews while the US goes through an identity crisis. Investors will inevitably come to the realization that it isn’t sustainable.

yea, just because you prompt “noAI” doesn’t mean it won’t be sneaking into your results. I’ve even found shitty AI generated articles like from geekstogeeks sneaking inside marginalia search. which is just a query database of websites, no recommendation algorithm.

Search engines have gone to shit, your only path for reliable information is wikipedia.

i’ve used both void and alpine before switching back to arch. Alpine is great, but it doesn’t support glibc and that compatibility gave me issues installing applications on my laptop. Sure I could setup chroot or a contanarized environment but void offered both options glibc and musl.

I wouldn’t be surprised the next step in the “AI revolution’s global inequality” would be to get people to generate electricity mechanically. Nuclear power plants have nothing compared to human will.

thanks, I’m going to set it as a banner on my linkedin.

insert image of “your Linux installation is fucked”

does he have the video’s research published?

there is no such thing as a gas powered computer. Maybe they meant a gas powered plant that would transmit electricity.

there is no gas powered computer, that’s the equivalent of saying I can make weed out of plutonium.

I can’t even look at the page because these corporate shills have to track me one way or another, it’s probably just coorporate propaganda.

well I could give you a solution, generally with x86_64 architecture they use a lot more wattage than macbooks, m-chip SOC’s (system-on-chip) utilize about 30W of energy whereas just a modern x86_64 CPU utilize 15W. which means you have a 15W overhead for your GPU and memory generally speaking.

So the entire reason your getting less battery life is OS required applications for it to function, and you. So if you minimize the amount of wattage (ideally building a linux system from scratch) you can optimize it to consume less resources.

I did this with my personal laptop, installed arch and mangoWM, didn’t even bother with a display manager or network manager (still use iwctl). on idle it uses about 600 MB, and I’ve beaten the m1. my point is not to compare or benchmark the macbook, but to just show you that you can maximize battery life with a little tinkering. So long as you are comfortable doing it.

I have used pop_os and cosmic DE it should be noted that is a beta version of pop_is, which means there are plenty of bugs, which means there are still a lot of optimizations. the fact you could get 12 hour battery is kinda surprising especially with a nvidia GPU.

yes, and I couldn’t really care what it was intended to be used for. clearly I could still use it as a WiFi utility posts installation.

As per the arch wiki it says “iwd is a wireless dameon for Linux written by Intel.” “The core goal of the project is to optimize resources utilization by not depending on external libraries.”

the point of why I’m using it is for that exact reason. it does the same thing every other WiFi GUI/TUI out there. unless there is a vulnerability/security risk of using iwd, I couldn’t really care less about the other options, even if that means manually configuring enterprise and public networks.

you do know he was an engineering major?

mangoWM. my workload requires a lot of resources like vivado/vitis. the more resources I have available the better. I’ve no where near customized my WM (FFS, I’m still using iwctl to configure WiFi), that said it does run great, using about 560 MB on idle.
