To drive up fake usage numbers for justifying the bubble they created to shareholders.

Just like Kim Kardashian

If you come from Windows or Mac and want to keep similar UI familiarity and ease of use then ZorinOS is pretty good. A friend of mine migrated away from Windows and installed Zorin OS core, choosing nvidia drivers during installation. They are very pleased with the experience so far.

1. Copy files to keep to cloud or other machine.
2. Prep usb drive with favorite OS installer (zorin, pop, mint, bazzite, fedora, nix, etc)
3. Boot into usb drive and wipe hard drive to put linux on it.
4. Copy desired files back onto your linux machine

Yeah agreed for most people migrating from Windows should be fine.

I just had a bias since I’m just used to making my own systemd services and udev rules for my work.

Ahh I see. Won’t the immutability impede work? I guess that depends on the type of work. But given OP is switching from Windows for first time it’s unlikely they’ll be wanting to mess that.

yeah Bazzite is also a fine gaming + typical work option

The key is systematic change via fear of the population. First step is removing the surveillance state infringing on free speech. Next #freeluigi

I’m also assuming OP doesn’t want a gaming-only setup / wants to actually have a general purpose use desktop too for work, etc.

Bazzite isn’t well suited as a general purpose work + gaming machine.

From OP’s post it sounded like they want simple / not tweaking their OS so they can focus on gaming.

ZorinOS or PopOS with nvidia drivers

can confirm. this is the way

Probably not cloning like scifi where exact body scars, broken bones, & memories transferred.

But china did try to hide some cloning human project researcher a while back. Not sure what happened there.

I’ve heard ZorinOS is good if you want easy switch over from windows / want to keep similar UI

Given that this person’s boss wants them to dump company data into Claude, I see no functional difference.

Mam, this is a Wendy’s

The trick is to tell them you’ve been using it more than they have and that it’s not as good as chatGPT for task A, but that for task B claude does okay 25% of the time so we’ll need to 4x the timeline in order to get a good claude output based on that expected value.

But not as good as your personal local LLM that you’ve been training on company data. No one else can use it because it’s illegal to clone. (your personal local LLM is your brain)

Managed to get a matrix server up + a web client frontend hosted on same site for friend group .

3 container docker compose: continuwuity, tunnel, premade Cinny image with nginx serving frontend.

Great if you don’t care about voice, but if you do then you’ll need to host a TURN server on a VPS and connect home server to that.
