I found this video helpful but it’s a few months old already:

Depending on your goals, you could try to find used components that are incompatible with windows 11 but still perhaps powerful enough as this guy explains:

Hard to say without more context. I’d check the existing distributions and pick one that suits you. Their websites usually have lists with compatible devices.

PostmarketOS is interesting for tinkering, grapheneOS just works reliably. Everything else in between

Regular gym bro here, tried home gym for a while, didn’t work for me. Main issues are:

• progression, you have to increase difficulty over time which is difficult with no equipment
• equipment is fucking expensive, although it may pay off after a year or 2. Resistance bands may be an alternative but restrict you in other ways
• no pull exercises in my case, my house is fragile and I’d break things. Literally no place to attach anything to
• I ended up not training regularly anymore because it’s harder for me to maintain a routine like that. It’s helpful to have a separate space for that

Overall, if you spend several hours per week with exercising, I’d recommend you use proper equipment. It’s just so much nicer. Home gym can work if you have the space and routine, but not in my tiny ass apartment. Fortunately gyms are not as extractive where I live.

Also, exercise is great for you, don’t listen to the haters. Gym weirdly does it for me, although it’s the most boring shit. Other exercise like bouldering often even comes with other people so you can socialise.

Same issue elsewhere, eg Germany

I’ve been married for 17 years. I don’t want to wash my hands after peeing, my wife wants me to wash my hands after peeing. I’ve washed my hands for 17 years.

Ensmoothification is real

Yes, nobody in Korea or Thailand cares and they just enjoy the software, that’s the point

English speaking country problems

Okay, but why not create more work for yourself by rebuilding everything from scratch?

Same here, never looked back. Enjoy it as long as it lasts

Can’t believe nobody here mentioned nixOS so far? How about moving all of your configs in a flake and manage all of your systems with it?

Couple it to your smart watch, backup every 10 seconds, and make it vibrate when successful

Recently took the leap to try it out and it’s surprisingly nice. Especially thanks to the automatic rollbacks, in case something breaks. Only took me a few years of getting nagged and learning about it, and multiple attempts at reading through the documentation.

But for a beginner? No way. NixOS has a serious documentation issue. Also the community structure is a big plus in Debian.

No clue where that is from and if it’s already in effect, but what’s marked here only talks about developers, not users. Still, what a world to live in
