        Reminds me, back in like, 2007, Nine Inch Nails did a promotion for their new album where they left “mystery” USB drives with media from the “future”, themed from album, in public areas at their shows. People couldn’t wait to find them and jam them into their computers to piece the story all together.

          The next album is gonna be about, trojans, viruses, worms, RATS (not the one with the rubber room)

          And a 40minute PSA from your IT admin telling you DONT PLUG RANDOM STUFF INTO YOUR COMPUTER!!

            Once some guy on the street gave me a dvd. I stuck it into my computer and it was a documentary about how nfc payment microchips in the hand are the mark of the beast. Freaked me out.

        I found that Pop!_OS (another Ubuntu fork) worked better with Nvidia crap out of the box. They both seem pretty good.

          Would that be better for my system with a 4090 than Ubuntu? I’ve got Nvidia drivers installed now, but perhaps switching would be more of a pain.

            I’ve never used Ubuntu and I don’t have a 4090, so I am wholly unqualified to answer that question. My comparison was between Mint and Pop. That being said, Canonical has had its more than fair share of controversies in the past, so you’d probably want to avoid them if it’s convenient to do so, all else being equal.

    How come with bsd it’s more of a dig your own hole sort of adventure?

        Bish, I use NixOS. I have defeated dependency hell by sacrificing storage space to just say “fudge it, give me ALL THE DEPENDENCIES!!! Rip off their ELF heads!!”.

        We are not the same.
