If you actually need a car, this one is the most important cost saving measure:

  • Drive a reasonably sized car which isn't optimized to exploit laws made for trucks.

It's Microslop. The people who had any resemblance of work ethics left a long time ago. No one still working there gives any shits about QA - especially not the management.

Actually:

The on-board video ports are for emergencies when your actual GPU isn't working. One of each type is plenty.
That 2.5 Gb Ethernet isn't giving me any actual benefits in practice as no other component in the network supports it anyway. If you need more speed, go all the way to 10 Gb.
No one really has toslink equipment anymore and the optical standard on that connector is shit anyway. You literally get better audio from the analog ports.
Get rid of the fancy special USB ports as well as the legacy low-speed ports. Just give only the normal super-speed ports which always work well without odd hardware quirks or driver issues. And 4 are actually plenty. I connect at least one hub anyway.
Also don't waste precious PCIe lanes for useless bling like six SATA ports, multiple NICs, or Wireless. Just route the unused PCIe lanes to the PCIe slots. Maybe I want to add an AI accelerator later.

Yeah, Gentoo isn't exactly an out-of-the-box gaming distro. But having all the gaming stuff (including GE Proton and Steam) managed by Portage is pretty neat.
And don't worry: When you are done hopping, Gentoo will always be there to accept you back without any judgment. It's all about choice after all...

Trump already won that war 20 times. So it's probably all fine.

It's called entry-level for a reason. Back in my days, you could start such a position without any formal education as long as you were willing to acquire the required skills and knowledge without needing a nanny. We had to go to the library or actually buy the books for knowledge. Now they can just use the internet.
The actual requirement for doing the job never changed. And it's not knowledge.

Nah, AI isn't that good. When you don't properly review every single line twice, you get the most absurd bullshit you've ever seen.
I use Claude Code Opus daily btw.

Distros basically are OSes. You get some choices of kernel with some choices of userland and some choices of desktop environment. Additionally, you get some update mechanism and optionally some customized looks, tools, and/or sets of settings. That's all what an OS really is.

To be fair, I did recommend Window 3.11, Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows XP, and Windows 7 to random people. It somehow stopped.
I play on Gentoo, btw.

Did unjust defederation actually happen?
