That’s awesome, I never knew that! And someone made a similar tool for Linux as well

I watched Jurassic Park again the other day.

“It’s a Unix system, I know this!”

Nedry had a very custom window manager.

I have an older nvidia card (1070) and had more of an issue than that getting the correct version of the driver installed for my card, and getting it to use the correct driver instead of the open source one that didn’t work well. It’s also possible I was doing something wrong. But yeah, it’s definitely doable, and it’s not too bad, but it’s fiddly compared to the ubuntu driver gui or something like bazzite that works out of the box with it.

Yeah, I probably wouldn’t buy a new laptop for a server, but it’s a great way to re-use what would otherwise be e-waste. I have a 20 year old laptop running as a server, currently just for FoundryVTT, but it works great. 4GB of DDR2 ram, Intel celeron dual core cpu. I stuck a new ssd in it (old hdd died) and it works great, as long as I don’t run any graphical interfaces while I have the server running. One ram stick was bad, but DDR2 cost me about $11. Total hardware cost was around $50 USD.

Thinking about just removing the lid entirely, since I don’t use it graphically (I can hook up a monitor if absolutely needed).

I have used gnome, plasma, and xfce and they are all fine. I prefer KDE personally but they’re all going to do what you need to do. It’s all down to personal aesthetic preference, and picking one won’t hinder you in any real way. KDE to me just looks super nice out of the box for my taste, and I like the customization.

I love Debian. Been using it on my laptop for over a year. Some specific drivers are a little fiddly if you have nvidia graphics but it’s not too bad, lots of good info on the debian wiki.

Also the fact that a lot of the big firms really seem to be just interested in it as a way to get more user data. People will share some pretty sensitive info with an LLM that they wouldn’t otherwise provide.

Running locally is definitely the way to go, if you’re going to use them.

This is amazing! I will definitely be making use of this

Expeditions are amazing, but I’ve only finished one because I’m usually out of the loop and start them way late. It would be amazing if they brought old ones back into rotation so people who are new or just missed them could earn the rewards eventually. I feel like they have enough now to make a pretty good rotation without feeling repetitive
