    The best way to learn Linux for ne was to make comparison table to all the distros and to look for what I want to make decision. Whenever I got questions, I asked ChatGPT. Then, the biggest step, was just using it. As my Daily Driver. I tried dual booting / a second “tinkering laptop” and it did just not work for me.

    Now I am happy and keep learning all the small details.

    Feels like when I was young and got my first PC.

    For now. Maybe. But look at Prime Video, that offered services for Amazon Prime Customers. Then put stuff behind paid “channels”. Then started adding Ads to the start of a movie or episode. And it will water it down even further. Or Spotify that had ads every few songs. Then 2 ads. Then 2 very long ads. Then more ad breaks. Then You bought premium because the ads got more and more annoying. Now you are ad free. Except all the banners. Except the paid promoted Releases that get pushed in all the popular Playlists. Except ads during podcasts. Except “AI shuffle” that mixes in promoted songs.

    The same will happen to YT Premium. Bit by bit ads will be smuggled in. I mean… right now they promote “Premium light” after (what I’ve found for European prices) raising prices for premium and family tiers.




  • It was exactly that. The stupid thing is: I usually shut down my Mac at the end of my workday and on the next day and start everything I need via script and always got funny looks from my co-workers because “you can just close it and keep it running” so I tried it a few days and honestly did not think about restarting because it would have been a fresh start before.

    But now I know there’s a tmux server running that I can kill when problems occur and I won’t need to reboot Everytime tmux starts acting funny. So at least I learned from being dumb and not thinking about basic trouble shooting steps…
