What is this? (so I can avoid it forever)
It’s entirely possible it’s user error on my part but I have not had the same issue with other distros. Only distros running KDE/Plasma seem to have the issue.
Any KDE super users could probably take one look at my setup and be like “oh, you just need to toggle the dooble-gonger and set flops to 9600” but I am far too dumb
i5 4690k (I think, can verify later)
EVGA GTX 1060 6GB
32GB RAM DDR3
I run most things fine but I always have problems with distros that use the KDE/Plasma desktop enviroment. I believe this is likely an issue with my configuration where it isn’t utilizing my video card or something and a smarter person would probably not have the same problem
I really love Ubuntu Studio but Plasma/KDE doesn’t seem to run well on my machine. Its the result of having old hardware and not having the expertise to figure out why it doesn’t run properly. If it weren’t for that I would use it.


We’re already there
The “AI” that is being currently being worked is not any sort of real intelligence, It’s instead a simulacra of intelligence.
Also Eliezer Yudkowsky is a crackpot dipshit who should be laughed out of any room he enters


“It can’t be that stupid, you must be prompting it wrong” 😂


I’ve definitely farted at a Haim concert
I find KDE looks nicer but it always runs like shit on my machine. Skill issue probably
I am always a little curious, but its just to see how bad the AI does with it.
Its amazing to me to see how the AI gets it “right” but comes up with something so souless and wholly worse than the original.


Honestly the self-critique the LRM said was spot on. Very funny


What I am saying is the investments are at a scale that it could cause a resession when these companies fail. Meaning its likely to effect everyone in the economy we all work in. You wont need to be working on AI to feel the impact


The problem is it will hurt everyone when they fail


Amazon isn’t a good comparison. People need to buy things. Having a better way to do that was and is worth billions.
There is no revolutionary product that people need on the horizon for AI. The products released using it are mostly just fun toys, because it can’t be trusted with anything serious. There’s no indication this will change in the near to distant future


I use FOSS stuff and it ain’t perfect. I just personally can not longer tolerate all the ads and tracking


There are street legal autogyros that are a lot cheaper and make more sense as a crossover vehicle


I have never gotten KDE to work well… but I’m a shitty user running on shitty hardware so grain of salt and all…
WinSCP is a Windows tool I use at work to send files between machines and I wish there was linux version. Programs like Dolphin are similar but I always manage to find something I can do in WinSCP that I can’t do in the linux alternatives
Edit: commenters just pointed out a bunch of potential solutions I wasn’t even aware of, so I’m probably just dumb please carry on
