.. or config files floating around in your FHS dirs

Mostly true, but unless you're doing an impermanence setup, programs still poop random files all over the place. Especially in home and other various places like /var/lib /var/cache.

local runners

Does this mean you can iterate on it fast on the local dev machine?

Honestly, thought this would be the only thing that people would talk about. I can't bring myself to seriously read a blog post about syntax highlighting when presented with such a horrendous color scheme. I usually just dive right into firefox reader because 99% of the web is shit, and I guess I did only to look for some callout to the irony or trolling.. "Yellow for comments" And I'm still not convinced it's not trolling.

Yes

Sounds like you haven't done it in a while. It has calamares installer now.

I haven't tried it out yet for some reason, but I'd start here https://youtu.be/qlfm3MEbqYA

Going to be interesting to see fox news shift gears into full-time demonization of her.

I don't see this word in the article. I'm guessing OP changed the title or perhaps CNN did after the fact. Nothing surprises me anymore.

I once went for lower CAS timing 2x 128MB ram sticks (256 MB) instead of 2x 256s with slower speeds because I thought 512MB was insane overkill. Realized how wrong I was when trying to play Star Wars galaxies mmorpg when a lot of people were on the screen it started swapping to disk. Look up the specs for an IBM Aptiva, first computer my parents bought, and you'll understand how 512MB can seem like a lot.

Now my current computer has 64 GB (most gaming computers go for 32GB) at the time I built it. My workstation at work has 128GB which really isn't even enough for some workloads we have that use a lot of in-memory cache.. And large servers can have multiple TB of RAM. My mind has been blown multiple times.
