I think it’s more like small bugs in the kernel portion will be fixed faster. There are a lot of small patches needed to build the dkms module against the kernel as mainline and stable evolve - they’re often carried in various distro packages until upstream (Nvidia) picks them up for a future release. The open driver should speed that cycle along.

A lot of that was infomercial TV grifting too. There were so many companies selling “emergency tools” to cut seatbelts and shatter windows a few years ago.

Honestly anything shipping a MATE desktop edition would be good too. MATE is similar enough to windows that most people get it pretty quickly.

Gnomes workflow is a big departure from windows, but with its gesture navigation on a trackpad, I think it’s a highly superior way to use a laptop. My desktop gets KDE Plasma, but if I had a laptop it would use gnome

+1, GNOME dumps the whole desktop and taskbar thing in favor of gestures and the overview. Once you get a feel for it I think it’s honestly a lot more usable than traditional taskbar and desktop icon GUIs.

I mean, Canonical is a for profit company so I’m not sure what anyone was expecting. Ubuntu had its moment in the sun where it was considered the newbie friendly Linux distro for free users but now they’re going pretty hard for corporate customers and enterprise features. Which is fine, they need money to stay afloat and some enterprises are into them so more power to them - they contribute a lot of time and money to various Linux projects. They’re the Debian derived redhat equivalent these days and that’s okay, if they pivot too far in their own interest people will just stop using their distro.

Don’t store ground coffee? Buy an inexpensive hand grinder from someone who’s moved up to a more expensive model and keep your beans whole until you’re ready to brew.

Coffee stales amazingly quickly and there’s really no good way to prevent it, the longest I’d store ground coffee for is like half a day (if I’m taking some ground coffee to work to make a cup mid day.)

If you absolutely must store ground coffee an airtight container should work but it won’t be terribly fresh after a day or two.

I’m out of the loop here, you’re better off making a new post and asking everyone. I ascended to a $200+ 1zpresso last year and I’m never going back. Someone on Reddit bought it and had buyers remorse so when I saw it listed for half price I couldn’t resist.

I can tell you not to buy the Hario Skerton or Skerton Pro though; both were incredibly inconsistent and I had a terrible time brewing using them. Even with stabilizer ring mods they both made a ton of fines and boulders, they weren’t good for anything except very coarse grind cold brew.

I see a lot of people recommending the Timemore C2 as a cheap first grinder. Look for one on AliExpress and it’ll be cheaper than scAmazon. <$50 that sounds like the best option. I dug around a bit earlier and it looks like you can get one for ~$40 when they’re on sale.

Yeah, I have a 1zpresso k ultra and it’s a phenomenal grinder. I haven’t fired up my electric grinder since I bought it.

I’m actually in favor of this one, it solves a bunch of the problems that have been leading mfgrs to solder memory directly to mainboards.

Edit: the removable CAMM connector is awesome too, the biggest problem with the v1 spec was the fragility of the pins. Anecdotally you could wreck a v1 connector with canned air so a replaceable connector is great news.

This is v2 of the CAMM spec and it’s awesome. They’ve solved all of the major issues that were causing laptop mfgrs to solder ram directly to the motherboard and they’ve nailed the biggest problem with v1 which was the ease of damaging the CAMM connector pins. Apparently you could wreck the v1 connector with compressed air if you weren’t paying attention, which makes tool-free connector replacement in v2 a great addition.

Does edge still provide the best streaming experience on Linux? I haven’t streamed anything from my Linux machines in a while but that used to work well for most streaming providers. It coaxed 1080p out of a couple that would only serve 720p to Chrome IIRC.

Check out You.com too, their search is far better than Google on a lot of the technical topics I’ve searched for.

Edit: ugh, it was good. Now they’re shovelling LLM interaction front and center and the original search functionality is completely buried. If you can find their original search interface it might still be worth a look.

I’m hopeful this is further developed and licensed out. I’d love to have one of these setup at home as part of a VR rig
