    I’ve been using Linux since it was a diskette install (Slackware). I’ve used all main Linux flavors over the years, and for the last few years I’ve lived in Mint, because lazy. I’m now on CachyOS. It fucking rocks. Like wow level.

      I started with Ubuntu version 10.10 and currently my computer runs Linux Mint Debian 7.

      Though I am seriously considering giving NixOS another spin. I gave it a try once, and it didn’t quite work for me, but I think I might try it again. I am getting pretty convinced that immutability is the future because then the operating system developer can work on the operating system and the user space can focus on the user space. And user space applications can’t do things to the operating system that would screw it up and bork it. I’m primarily thinking of when an application gets uninstalled and then uninstalls some shared library that’s needed by another application and fucks it up.

      I know immutable systems and self-contained applications require more disk space, but that’s a worthy sacrifice in my opinion. Disk space is pretty damn cheap.

          For now, yes. But it’s a supply and demand curve, so either the demand from AI is going to crash as the AI boom crashes, or the amount of supply will increase to satisfy the demand. I am suspecting the AI bubble will crash before the supply side catches up.
