But downloading deb files is how you install things on Ubuntu. Just like app files on Mac and exe on Windows. Like, any user needs to do the absolute bare minimum and understand the os they're using.

If the requirement is that Linux needs to run exe fines just like windows, then that's not reasonable and the user should totally just continue to use windows. They deserve the ads.

But if you read the 1/4 page install instructions for steam and Linux, follow the directions, then your things will run just fine. THAT is what people mean when they say Linux works great for users.

I see you tried particularly hard: did you actually select the proton runtime for the "random" game you selected? I've quite literally have ZERO games in my library that have not played on linux. It's not a fully complete or random sampling, but I've gotten everything to work, but you do have to do the bare f-ing minimum step of turning it on.

I'll second actual budget!

It's like Mint with no ads and data privacy. There are other budgeting tools that can be better, but if you're just after tracking and less about expense planning, this works well. Also compares well to YNAB with similar configuration options there if you go that route.

I lol'd and cried 5.1 because it's so spot on

I thought that I'd listen to 30 seconds and scroll, but I'm really glad I didn't. Really solid argument, but it's got a "last mile" problem, and that's gotta be on us to figure out I think.

The question at the end where he basically ignored and didn't answer was "so how do we do this?". THAT is the question. I'd love to hear that answer.

No, I mean summarizing things. It doesn't need 100k-1m lines in context to give you an accurate picture of what's going on. It certainly doesn't need to invent things to tell you. It could totally give you incorrect assessments based on limited information, but it's bound to be way better than what you could do in a short period off time.

Of all the things AI does well, this is one of them

grep is everywhere, pgrep is not

The thing with killall is I can't see what it's going to do first. With the greps, I can look first, kill second.

I use awk instead of cut cause I can remember the syntax better.

ps aux | grep zoom | grep -v grep | awk '{print $2}' | xargs kill -9

We were very lucky that our usage was on the literal version before the affected version. Dodged a bullet.

This is me. As I write to you from my Graphene Pixel 9. My first non Samsung phone since the S3. The S22 unwanted ads were just too much. (and apparently it's all worse now) You could disable them, but you had to re disable after every update. The second I found a good deal on a pixel I jumped.
