The issue is that Star Trek happened to appeal to all, not just American Repulsicans.

I’d probably go for a mini PC, like one from System76. It does have Linux on it (Pop_OS!), but I think you could manage with that in particular.

bluGill already noted that OP is a noob. He literally said:

as a noob you have a lot to learn the hard way.

I’d probably just save a little for them, and once you invest enough for a powerful enough machine, then I’d purchase it with a little bit of money left. That’s how I’d do it, though your mileage may vary.

I’d take a look at something like System76 with their stuff, or potentially something like Tuxedo. If you want Linux pre-installed on a laptop, look for stuff that already has is supported OOTB.

Of course, there are people refurbishing laptops and slapping Linux on them, as many ThinkPads and similar devices from Lenovo are getting Linux slapped on there. I’d stick with Mint, Pop_OS!, CachyOS, or Nobara Project, unless you want X11/XLibre by default. If XLibre by default, there are many distros that are implementing it instead of XOrg’s implementation of X11.

That could be very easy to do potentially with SD 1.5, especially with Mistoon (my PFP was actually made using Mistoon Diamond with 1Shot and Almonds LoRA). I’ll look into this later, especially since Vtubers are rigged using things like Live2D, NijiGenerate (Inochi2D fork), and Inochi2D. I wonder if that could work for Vtuber shenanigans, given what I’ve said, though…

In terms of the mobile side, these OS’s aren’t very well polished, and the Linux phone is quite new. However, there are Linux phones being made, but this is more of a niche kinda deal, as people tend to use GrapheneOS or an iPhone (Stock Googled Android is a no-go anymore due to the malware that both Google and other malicious devs add to the Play Store). That’s just how I see it, though.

While Neigsendoig Cocules (whom I edited videos for) and I had used generative AI for album covers in the past (mostly Neigsendoig, though), we always disclose that for ethics reasons. That said, why we would want to use AI to make music is beyond us. I’d rather us be challenged to actually make something using our own brains and knowledge of music theory than let AI do it. It’s good if you’re stuck and need some ideas as a tool, but that’s the extent of it.

That, and you have to be in the EU for it to happen. Americans can’t have that, and are forced to upgrade regardless. Unless they switch to Linux, they get clobbered regardless.

I never forgot about the Boeing “suicides”. Those are Boeing whistleblowers who were murdered because they spoke too much, and broke a sort of NDA that basically requires game-ending if, and when, the NDA is violated.

That latter part is for those that don’t know about how this works.

If they game-end a whistleblower because of what he’s said against them, it’s not out of their purview to do something like this. They don’t do stuff like that once…
