There is something different on that plane but no, it’s not death. Search ‘astral body’ and go from there. Or read the Tibetan Book of the Dead for a general breakdown of dying.

While I disagree with identifying the working class with ‘chav’, the origin of the word did start very much in classism and stereotyping (hence my deep disagreement with the term). A pretty good analysis in this article: https://eathealthy365.com/the-rise-and-fall-of-the-chav-in-british-culture/

The commenter said ‘soaking up benefits’, I don’t think the working class people would be looking like ‘chavs’ because many of them are going to and from work in uniform. Plus, you’re essentially equating all working class people with chavs? So walking into a Tescos, every member of staff is a chav?

As expected, ThinkPad. I have a Yoga X1, the stylus and touch works fine. But if you’re installing Linux take great care of to have copious amounts of swap or swapfile because ram is low.

Reminds me of an alias error in building a package on AUR. By 1am I was done looking for solutions. In the morning, lo and behold, an AUR update revealed a new package released at 3am prior to fix the alias error.

Isn’t that how public shared companies supposed to work? /s

‘Humans are inherently evil’ - chimp in laboratory.

Shame. Pale blue marble doesn’t roll off the tongue.

Reading that article as a layman, I got the impression there were a lot of falling dominoes.

Bazzite is KDE plasma based, it’s a desktop with some additional tweaks and up to date functionality to run steam and games out of the box. It’s still virtually the same as Fedora. Good pick in my opinion.

First boot may create problems (especially with legacy nVidia) so dual boot makes the blame not fall on Linux.

Social and peer pressure is a big reason why people start for sure. Especially when you get to go outside and have a quick chat during work.

I’m using it on my laptop as a teacher. My gaming PC with steam is linux. I see improvements in performance every half year.

Had a student want to use it. I told him he needs to dual boot. Keep his options open. Then time will tell whether he will make the great leap.

Smoking usually starts socially. Then it becomes a coping mechanism. You’re not wrong, some people go straight to it to cope but your post is straight up saying all smokers are plagued by problems and anxiety.

I didn’t watch the video, but this is a classic lab experiment we do for high school students. A variable resistor to adjust to threshold voltage (just before the led lights up), a multimeter to find said voltage, and knowing the wavelength of the led, voila, you get quite a surprisingly accurate Planck constant within the same order of magnitude, and even within the first digit ‘6’. It surprises our students immensely.

Mint or Fedora Plasma edition. Your friend might like Plasma as that looks polished. Anything gnome related could have a few problems getting used to the UI (though I personally like it).

I had 3 files installed and one was proton when I downloaded my first game.

Started my EndeavoursOS gaming PC. Oh no, my new-Steam lists the game as windows only?

Proceeds to install proton and related software and bam, I can game.

I know it’s not Bazzite but there is sure as hell little reason not to use Linux any more except for enterprise computers and laptops.

“beginner level”

That sounds like a very specific user case, I’m using a laptop for teaching with a smallish screen so gnome actually improves my workflow and the visibility of the OS. I don’t need theming either. Gnome is really aimed at productivity imo.
