In Russia, you abuse substances.

Bazzite was the breakthrough for me. All my stuff just worked. Only 2 things I had to fix was

1.adding 5.1 audio over Spdif, which was a single ostree command to make it permanent.

  1. Installing Proton-GE for one of my games that does not do well under normal proton.

Took about an hour to research and fix both.

I had tried to covert 4 times in the 5 years before. Ubuntu, linux mint and endevourOS would not play well with my hardware in years past.

He is a time poor impatient person. That is something linux will need to address for wider adoption.

I would argue that their example resulted in some very wide ranging changes in approach that was long overdue.

Linux was at risk of becoming an "OS for us" instead of a true replacement for everyone.

I suspect if they repeat the challange today, it would be a night and day difference.

I agree with you, its no longer math at thst point, but the application in the service of other fields.

What I am advocating for is that math at most of secondary school level should be taught on the practical basis. Math theory should be treated as a field of specialization. Much like how language is taught after people get over the basic literacy portion.

Math is mostly taught as theory. It should be taught in practice.

Teaching people how to calculate an inventory, or taxes in a spreadsheet, is much more useful than teaching them differentials and number theory.

Its like teaching people carpentry but never having them make anything with it. You just quiz them on which tool and material they need to use.

How are Electricians needing to do so much math? Its basic calculator and lookup table stuff? I mean a janitor does more complication calculations when they dilute cleaning products and estimate how much they will need for a given room.

Ironic, since Japan is one of the last holdouts requiring the use of floppy drive for use in government processes.

There are some benefits, but its situational and only affects you while your hardware is very new. Eventually the base kernel catches up in most cases.

Its like buying a pre-built PC vs a custom PC.

They do the same things at the end of the day, but the the custom PC converts the extra time investment into a result that gives better performance and is more suited to your needs.

Easing is not removing.

Anything more than a warning and disclaimer popup is too much.

They are called Canadians. The scale works like that for them.

30 hours of uninterrupted time available for sleeping. That sounds like an excellent return.
