"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Bazzite is great as well! Though I will admit I have had trouble installing it on old hardware. A few ddr3 systems with 2.5" ssds, mostly. It works wonderfully on anything from the past 5 to 10 years though.
And you wouldn't think there were that many ddr3 systems around anymore. But there are surprisingly quite a few. Intels 4790k is still pretty useful even today, and you can get 16 - 32gb of ram in these old systems. For those who just want to play decent games from 10 - 15 years ago, or lightweight indie titles like stardew valley or factorio, a cheap ddr3 build is perfectly fine. Especially given the prices of modern hardware. For those systems, CachyOS has always worked.
However. Mint installs on just about anything. I've even installed it on a Dell Optiplex 780 from 2011! It's so little fuss to install and use so I always recommend it to new users.
