GM -- ask people what the best Linux is and you get a million answers lol
For my part, I'm thinking of Fedora with stock GNOME. Not doing anything too intense, daily driver stuff, some light (scientific) simulations, HomeAssistant, maybe run a personal relay, etc.

Just had my daily driver laptop (Chromebook Plus) crap out on me. Pretty disappointed, less than 2 years on it... Sooo now taking the plunge to Desktop Linux! Wish me luck, I hope I can still use my printer ๐๐ซจ
Not mentioned in this article is, considering that companies are still legal entities and therefore have to have human beings registered as part of their existence, who's the lucky guy who gets to be the "accountability sink" for when / if this thing blows up?

GM... The most important problems in the world right now have solutions that can't be verified with computer code.
Weekend with old friends I haven't seen in years... Sleep-deprived but soul-replenished ๐
I'm starting to notice just how much the pace of public intellectual life seems to slow down in the summer... My RSS and podcast feeds dry up, OSS projects don't get updates, Substacks go fallow, etc...
Everyone seems to be kicking it at the beach, which is nice, but I'm still stuck here hustling through major life changes. I guess, maybe next summer? ๐คท
Just a reminder, heavily armed, poorly trained masked agents of the State are still out in force on US streets killing with impunity.

Nostr's tiny, but it's one of the few spaces that feels genuinely innovative. I've never found myself excited for new software releases since... IDK, the 00's?
In a world where everything's a grift, this feels real, even if it's just us ~40 weirdos.
