I'm just not sure how comfortable I am with no gui yet.
I need a PC that runs with no monitor and gets interfaced with through remote desktop only. I just installed Linux on that machine. It currently must have a keyboard and monitor because if it gets rebooted, it comes to the login screen. The login screen cannot be brought up via remote desktop (RDP through Remmina). I also have so far been unable to find a way to force it to automatically sign in "passwordless" like it used to do with Windows.
This box runs Plex as well as whatever game server I want to run for friends and I at the moment. (Currently Minecraft, which is having trouble since th switchover with server lag, but that is far less important than being able to reboot the screenless server box and have it work with no further input )
Don't forget to polarize the sensors.
Ah, the old Lemmy dish-a-roo.
I pay for YouTube. It is without a doubt the best subscription I pay for, that I get major use out of. I know people are hardcore anti-ad and Google is like Ad Satan, but if you can afford it, YouTube is unironically worth it.
My Logitech G503 Lightspeed wireless mouse works instantly on my computer. Plug and play. Running Pop!_OS.
Gaming works great in Steam and Lutris.
Can't speak for battery and power management, but I do have a laptop with Pop installed on it as well. Haven't had any troubles, but it's out of commission right now due to an unrelated hard drive cable issue.
Spot on about Excel, I suppose. I've never much liked libreoffice or Google sheets for tables.
I think you'll find, if your look deep, that the average customer IS DUMB AS FUCKING BRICKS AND DOESN'T KNOW WHAT FROM WHAT, BIG NUMBER GOOD
You are conflating Internet service speed and mobile generations. I work for an ISP. I hear this all the time. Especially since there's also "5G WiFi" which is 5 GHz band. People confuse it all, and it's understandable but still annoying.
My company offers 1 Gbps service. No one is getting confused by that yet, but our modems have 2.5 Gbps Ethernet ports now, and I had a customer that was outraged the other day because "Your modem is only 2.5 G and all my devices use 5G! You need to send me a 5G modem!!" FFS
I worked for 12 years in a fraud control department.
This guy's a fraudster. Your mom is being scammed.
I would say it's the size of the universe and the fact that it is still expanding at an accelerated rate.
If the speed of light is really the "top speed" of the universe, it is inadequate for interstellar travel. It is barely good enough for timely communication, and not really even that.
Life can be as likely as it wants to be, but it seems to me that we're all quite divided, to the point of not being able to communicate at all with other potential intelligent species.
