I ran it as my primary distro on my main machine for a while way back when. I don’t recommend that.

What I do recommend is going though the entire process even if it’s just in a VM. It’s incredibly educational and will teach you a ton about Linux and OS construction in general. I used to recommend it to everyone I was teaching linux/ Unix too and all the students who actually went through it and completed it now have successful IT careers. 100% an incredibly valuable teaching resource, you will look at all OS’s with new eyes after you’ve built one bit by bit from source by hand.

I prefer FreeLager myself.

Well there’s your problem right there.

LLMs don’t make decisions or understand things at all, they just regurgitate text in a human like manner.

I say this as someone who sees a lot of potential in the technology, though, but like this, or like most people are claiming we can use them.

Thank you very much for your thoughtful and detailed replies, it is much appreciated. This headset finally makes some kind of sense for what it is.

Ok cool, if I may take a swing at summarizing what you said?

What you are really talking about are the potential applications of AR (Augmented Reality), which I will totally agree with, that is a future state that is coming, unfortunately those apps mostly don’t exist for the consumer space yet, but they will.

The apple headset being the first commercially available headset that does AR well.

What would you use it for? Honest question.

I can’t see using it for work. Writing a long email with an onscreen keyboard is not realistic.

It doesn’t really play games.

So it’s for watching YouTube on your face? I have a TV and couch that do that, and a phone in my pocket 24/7 that will do that. I honestly can’t figure out the use case.

Hell yes, see you at K sky.

Wow! That’s amazing, let me try ************* Did that show up for you?

I use awk all the time, nothing too fancy, but when you need to pull out elements of text it’s usually way easier than using cut.

awk {’ print $3 '} will pull the third element based on your IFS variable (internal field separater, default is whitespace)

awk {’ print $NF ‘} gets you the last element, and awk {’ print $(NF-1) '} gets you one element from the last, and so on.

Basic usage but so fast and easy for so many everyday command line things.

Soon.

I really like AppImage, but so far my experiences with flatpak have all been pretty terrible.

You mean Twitter.
