quoting me and saying “don’t you see?” is not exactly demonstrating reading comprehension.

if you want to go on a crusade against CLIs, feel free, but leave me out. i think they’re great.

the comparison i replied to was whether it was easier to migrate to Linux vs setting up a local account, and any user is going to spend much more time migrating than running a single command.

I am well aware. avoiding all that bullshit is exactly why I continue to use Windows and would never advocate Linux blindly for desktop use.

sure, because the comment i was replying to talked about local accounts, and that’s how you do that on some editions of Windows 11.

oh, so when the Linux fanboys come out and say “you should switch to Linux, it’s easy!” they actually mean learn the decades long history of countless distributions, fork infighting, and an untold amount of software and hardware compatibility baggage, THEN switching will be easy! silly of me to make such a mistake!

you seem to have misinterpreted or misread this comment thread, sorry.

of course the most popular graphics card manufacturer wouldn’t work out of the box on Linux! i would expect nothing less!

yes, Nvidia, and who knows for the rest. i think it was Debian-based, maybe Mint. they went back to Win11 after barely a month because it was so rough, despite years of experience with Linux.

this exact situation happened about 3 months ago to my partner on a modern distro

yep, I have used many linux distros for 20 years or so, and they are certainly much harder to migrate to than checks notes pressing two keys and running a command to get a local account.

good luck getting more than a few hours into a fresh linux install without needing to use a CLI, lol

get excited for a random system update to boot you to a GRUB rescue console soon!

not really

the air stands up to absurdly high bend forces in tests and there was certainly no “bend gate 2.0”

check if they’re expired

twitter is long gone, sorry

wrong place for whatever this bad post is

thanks for bringing some kindness to this thread. i’ve been meaning to go to the bank to get a bunch of fivers to hand out.

they are not, in fact, legal to use. washington doesn’t have DMVs anyways.

aren’t the communities on Lemmy basically topics? why would that be overwhelming, you can easily select what you want?

The real power consumption cost is from the model training. The marginal cost of running a query is small. Unless you use LLMs heavily, you probably use more power in many other ways, like if you forget to put your computer to sleep.

More training means better models, generally. If you want to minimize that, look for smaller models on HuggingFace that are more tightly focused on whatever task you have at hand.

Or, you could just do most of your queries when your local electricity mix has more renewables.

social news site seems to fit pretty well
