Functionality-wise, its a promising ‘personality’ training system. Could be my ‘guiding voice’ when my other agents run autonomously for longer time. Could also be used to create Agents imitating the thinking of some Hooman experts we want to influence some agent sub-system we have, or just creating a domain-expert AI.

However, it have the option to connect to a seemingly(?) closed-source ‘AI network’, where people can buy services, create NFT’s on personalities and similar market garbage, so I won’t be using that part - open or not.

Rarely anything. There can be some newer Bios/chip features that are not supported in the kernel yet, and a few older/quirky machines requires setting correct kernel parameters in the boot phase. But overall, you wouldn’t normally do it any different from win, and a laptop from 23 should be supported with all newer kernels.

I’m sure there are Bios settings that could be changed dependent on operating system. Perhaps some internal timing works best with this and that ram clock, or whatever, but it would be a hazzle to figure out, and there may not be any gain - other than the fun of exploring oc…

Damn you :-)

Didn’t know what uBlue was, so here: https://universal-blue.org/

"The Universal Blue project builds a diverse set of continuously delivered operating system images using bootc. That’s nerdspeak for the ultimate Linux client: the reliability of a Chromebook, but with the flexibility and power of a traditional Linux desktop.

These images represent what’s possible when a community focuses on sharing best practices via automation and collaboration. One common language between dev and ops, and it’s finally come to the desktop.

We also provide tools for users to build their own image using our templates and processes, which can be used to ship custom configurations to all of your machines, or finally make the Linux distribution you’ve long wished for, but never had the tools to create.

At long last, we’ve ascended."

I agree. However, I think it is related to Capitalism and all the sociopathic corporations out there. It’s almost impossible to think that anything good will come from the Blue Church controlling even more tech. Capitalism have always used any opportunity to enslave/extort people - that continues with AI under their control.

However, I was also disappointed when I found out how negative ‘my’ crowd were. I wanted to create an open source lowend AGI to secure poor people a descent life without being attacked by Capitalism every day/hour/second, create abundance, communities, production and and in general help build a social sub society in the midst of the insane blue church and their propagandized believers.

It is perfectly doable to fight the Capitalist religion with homegrown AI based on what we know and have today. But nobody can do it alone, and if there’s no-one willing to fight the f*ckers with AI, then it takes time…

I definitely intend to build a revolution-AGI to kill off the Capitalist religion and save exploited poor people. No matter what happens, there will be at least one AGI that are trained on revolution, anti-capitalism and building something much better than this effing blue nightmare. The worlds first aggressive ‘Commie-bot’ ha! 😍

Amazing. I’ve been ‘staring’ at the sys rq key for 20 years with Linux and many years before with Win/Dos, and never really knew how it worked, for what, or if it was still used for anything - even then.

Apparently (from light search) sysreq was mostly used in the old days to halt current job and enter a systems menu.

Anyway, thanks for fixing a long-standing knowledge gap :-)

Over time I’ve seen several groups tinker with p2p protocols for packages. Latest using gnunet/ipfs for Guix packages. But I’ve never seen a working/integrated system. Weird…

I’m not a Gnome expert and are using the ‘dash2dock’ extension, but if I right click on rightmost ‘show apps’ icon, and select 'dash2dock settings, I can change opacity, bg color and such.

Not sure where else to change those settings, so apol’s if this is not applicable in your case.

A few ideas/hints: If you are up for some upgrading/restructuring of storage, you could consider a distributed filesystem: https://wikiless.org/wiki/Comparison_of_distributed_file_systems?lang=en.

Also check fuse filesystems for weird solutions: https://wikiless.org/wiki/Filesystem_in_Userspace?lang=en

Alternatively perhaps share usb drives from ‘desktop’ over ip (https://www.linux.org/threads/usb-over-ip-on-linux-setup-installation-and-usage.47701/), and then use bcachefs with local disk as cache and usb-over-ip as source. https://bcachefs.org/

If you decide to expose your ‘desktop’, then you could also log in remote and just work with the files directly on ‘desktop’. This oc depends on usage pattern of the files.

I believe https://www.pantherx.org/ is both Guix based and, I think, more relaxed on the non-guix issue. Don’t know much else tbh, but peeps interested can check it out.

Ensh*ttification = Capitalism. Every point, every annoyance, every spy attack, all lock-ins, and so on, is a result of that archaic sponsored belief system…

Always sad when Capitalism/monetization creeps in and cripples/pollutes open and free movements/projects :-( There are many many examples of projects dying off, converting to proprietary, etc. Luckily people are forking and creating new FOSS software all the time. I’m going more and more full FOSS, de-google/meta/m$ and so on. I’m tired always spending time changing software/workflow because of monetization creep, I’m tired of closed drivers, telemetry/spying, bitcoin scams and all the other utter garbage the Capitalist religion brings in to my life.

I have chosen Guix as my new home partly for this reason. Here, the default is that if I doesn’t compromise, I know that I won’t suddenly see these yucky things creeping into my system. That gives me a safe space where I can plan/build long term without wasting my time fighting Capitalism and all the shit that automatically follows…

I hope the Nix community finds a solution.

I absolutely love it, and I’m never going back to an ordinary distribution again. I do fine regarding software. I use standard channels, non-free channel, flatpaks and a few appimages. I can’t think of anything i’m missing atmo…
