They should abstain from the hammer this time round. Zombie pope is the 2025 twist no-one would see coming.

Sure, they’re not designed solely for gaming. But they’re focused on graphical performance which is what makes them suited for gamers.

Pop! Os has a focus on graphical performance, with versions containing preconfigured AMD/nvidia drivers depending on the users build. To claim that gaming hasn’t factored into the decision to focus on graphics would just be silly.

Doesn’t really feel as though that pedantry has added anything to the conversation if I’m honest, as the question was what would be suitable for gaming, and you yourself also recommend 76?

System76 laptops are built for gaming.

They also created their own Linux distro called Pop! Os, which is designed around gaming, and fairly popular within the community. All their laptops come with Pop! os preinstalled

It seems cheese just missed the mark for ultra status according to this specification I found on webMD.

a quick summarisation is that there are 4 groups:

1. Unprocessed or minimally processed foods (berries, nuts etc).
2. Processed culinary ingredients (oils, butter, sugars etc).
3. Processed foods (cheese, bread. Stuff with 2+ ingredients).
4. Ultra-processed food and drink products (preservatives, additives, all the bad -ives).

So I’m guessing a hot dog would be ultra processed due to preservatives and additives often found in the ‘meat’.

That was an interesting rabbit hole to go down. Feels as though what is considered ultra-processed by the experts, is what us laymen tend to refer to as processed foods. I suppose technically their terminology is correct (the best kind of correct ofc), but it just feels like an exaggeration due to everyday usage of the term being what it is.

Edit: formatting.

‘Hey, you, You’re finally awake’

Excreting sand sounds… Uncomfortable to say the least.

Chicken: “woah, too soon bro”.

I recommend people start off on either elementary or mint depending on the walled garden they’re used too. It seems to make the transition easier; especially for those who are less interested in tech and see the OS as a means to an end.

Some people just don’t want to learn new ways of working, regardless of how much it benefits them in the long run. My 78 year old grandad being my most recent convert to elementary (after a lifetime of mac OS).

He hasn’t had any issues with the transition thus far. Everything is where he expects it to be, I don’t think he’s even realised libre office is a different application to Microsoft office. Whilst I’m sure he’d have the capability of working out Ubuntu; I also think the effort would be enough to push him back towards Mac.

But yeah, a near 80 year old can use Linux without any training or problems, which I feel really emphasises your original point around Linux stability.

Does that make extinction a form of obfuscation?

Haha that’s cool, I wonder if there are any languages where the sloth isn’t named after their slow nature?

Acting like they can’t do anything without the US?

The continent is prepping for a US & Russian led invasion if anything (none of which are to be purchased from the US either)

EU to tax US digital services in response to trump’s tariffs

EU push for an alternative to US operating systems

Whilst it was true that the EU relied on the US for many things, (the primary being digital services), they’ve proven themselves to be a dangerous partner who has shown active disdain for us, the movement to exile American tech has begun, and will likely end in a similar vein to how Chinese tech is viewed here.

What part of the UK are they called doughballs? ive never heard them called that.

Only reference I can think of is Pizza express’ dough balls, but they’re a savoury dough ball rather than sweet like a doughnut.

One without a hole is a doughnut. One with is a doughnut ring.

Oh I understand that. I was just being facetious; my point was more to do with the definition of a hole, and how it’s used here to describe something that definitely is not a hole.

If we’re pedantic, then the doughnut hole is the middle bit of the original doughnut, now that this part has been punched out.

In the UK these are called doughnuts.

The presence of a hole isnt a pre-requisite to being deemed a doughnut here.

Calling something that has zero holes a ‘donut hole’, will absolutely have a local refer to you as a doughnut tho…

Most of the kit that is made in US uses parts distributed by other countries… So even domestic sales of US created products are likely to be impacted. Gotta give it to Krasnov, he’s doing a bloody good job at the task he’s been set.

Id like to think that me pointing out this entire scenario was caused by the UK & US due to their support of Israel made it obvious where I stand on this debate. But apparently not.

As for the pedantry; the language used was not a personal opinion; but rather utilising their own language to draw the subsequent metaphor.

The irony being that Houthi were attacking predominantly US & UK ships due to their ongoing support of Israel. The US created this problem, and then moan when they have to clean it up. At this point, the US is the world stage equivalent of a petulant child spilling milk on their shirt and then throwing a tantrum.
