My PC is only like, 5 years old and Windows 11 doesn’t support it. Windows 10 ran smoothly, it does RTX, modern games run fine on it, the most graphically intensive AAA games run a little poorly but still run nonetheless, and I can always lower the graphics settings to get better performance. It’s certainly more powerful and higher spec than a lot of the office PCs that do run Windows 11. Buuuut the motherboard doesn’t have a TPM 2.0 chip so it’s archaic e-waste as far as Microsoft is concerned. It’s been running Linux just fine for the last year and a half or so, and not once have I ever felt that my PC is too old and needs to be upgraded or replaced.

Why do AI bros get so defensive when any single aspect of AI or its implementation is criticized, as though criticism of noise polluting, resource leeching, hardware hoarding datacenters owned by tech oligarchs whose only prerogative is making the most money possible and obtaining the largest amount of power over people they possibly can is necessarily a statement that AI should never exist or be used in any capacity for any reason ever?

Then you’ve unwittingly installed Windows 11

It’s in the AUR as klitoris-gtk-git. Or is it klitoris-qt-git? There might have been a klitoris-qt-bin but the maintainer stopped updating that one like a year ago and nobody’s picked it up. Actually now that I think about it none of the AUR versions are up to date, you gotta get it straght from github. Ah, no wait that one’s a fork, the OG is on sourceforge. Or was it gitlab? No no no actually I remember now, it used to be up on gitlab but they moved over to GNU Savannah, so the gitlab version is out of date. Oh by the way it relies on old versions of libraries and other dependencies that no distros actually have in their repos anymore. It won’t compile with the newer versions of those dependencies and they don’t provide a binary. People are complaining about that on the Issues page but it’s only developed by like one guy and he doesn’t even know why the newer versions won’t work he just knows it works on his system. Still refuses to provide a binary though. Oh right there’s that fork I mentioned, that might work. Ah wait nevermind that was an attempt of making a gtk version of klitoris but the developer abandoned that project unfinished and hasn’t been seen since 2022.

It’s a little crazy to me how the most popular tech youtuber struggles so much with Linux, meanwhile fucking PewDiePie, who’s not known for being particularly bright, has been making videos about Linux and selfhosting and how fun it is to configure his system lol.

There are really people out there who support this shit who think they deserve to be regarded as good people just because they’re friendly on an interpersonal level.
