Honestly about as deep as some debates between adults

I’d imagine they’re mostly physically disabled people trying to get control of their limbs or access to the freedom this type of tech is promising. As abhorrent as all of the testing behind this tech is, if I were a quadrapalegic or something similar, I would volunteer because wtf else have I got going for me?

As a long time Windows user, my SSD just shat itself last week. MS has been pissing me off with the constant “upgrade to Windows 11” messages that I’ve finally taken steps to change over to Linux. My experience has been as follows:

• Ubuntu has been hot garbage, half the things I’ve tried don’t seem to work, and Gnome is hot garbage for a newcomer (this might just be an Ubuntu issue)
• My current distro, Debian with Cinnamon, is pretty good. I don’t want the cutting edge of OS, I just want something that works and won’t bug me for major updates every other month.
• There is a learning curve. No matter what anyone tells you, you will need to at least be able to google and copy and paste some terminal commands in Linux. Anything more is a bonus.
• Linux can have a really pretty GUI after popping in a few changes to the default setup.
• Gaming has actually been pretty smooth. 0 issues Lutrix running games from GoG and Steam is not bad even those without Linux support 👍🏾

My VPN says I do

And I’m here contemplating upgrading to 32 GB…

I don’t want to say it, but if we ever manage to get to the point of extracting data from this, it might be used as a training base for AI.
