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.

Dual boot with something linux - i can suggest and recommend mint. Thats what i did, and although i still need to boot into windows for work purposes, there is no software that i need privately that requires windows. So my old laptop and media pc run Mint exclusively, and my main pc is dual boot, using Mint for everything but work. I envy your opportunity as a retired sort, to raise two fingers at microslop and any software provider that wont develop cross platform solutions.
I'll look into Mint. I need something that will work well with games (I've been a gamer my whole life) and OBS for my streams.
And not retired yet. Just old.
Apoligues for misinterpreting. If you're games focussed then by all means try mint, but Bazzite might be a simpler implementation.
This might be useful as a intro reference point for your investigations: https://www.xda-developers.com/bazzite-has-me-reconsidering-windows/
I'm sure you could dual boot that as easily as mint.
