Hybrid is best.

I use the GUI quite a lot.

But some things are just easier in CLI, especially if you have to do that thing often.

The other reason to use the command line is automation, it is very easy to write a bash script and run it as often as needed, if every day at midday you want to update something CLI is much easier.

e.g everyday at 2am, my rsync script runs to backup my important files.
e.g 2, I have a small script to combine all the pdf's in the current directory into a single file using pdftk. It is so much faster than any graphical way.

They are the admins of their devices, not you. And as admins they should have full control over the security policy, not you.

I can't agree with you there, a few years ago I installed Mint on my mum's old desktop. It was either that or pay for a new Windows license to "upgrade" to Win10. She doesn't have admin, doesn't even know what admin is and would be unwilling to learn if she did know.

Not all users need to be admins, in fact most don't want it.

Me, however, I get pissy if the machine stops me doing what I want to do.

Around 5 hrs to fully metabolise caffeine. Physically you would be fine in a day.

The habit, however would take longer to get over. That depends on your psychology, I know I can't just replace my morning coffee with tea, because it doesn't feel right.

I usually have my last coffee at around 2pm, so by the time I get up in the morning, there is no caffeine in my system. The feeling of drinking coffee and tea is different for me, it's not just about the taste.

It depends on the situation.

If I know I'm correct (I'm a subject matter expert in the field I work in), I generally don't preface my comments.

But in related fields, where my knowledge is less sure, I do.

It can really get difficult, when someone else is talking out their arse, but sounding confident. There are situations where it is unprofessional, to not correct the course of the conversation.

I had a similar issue, running Mint.

It took me a while, but I tracked it to a buggy firmware on the nvme SSD (WD black 4000). Once I updated the firmware, all the stability issues disappeared.

If your system in under heavy disk load when the issue appears, take a look at your SSD firmware.

I'm currently playing a tabaxi rogue based off Slinky Malinki, but I also want to play a tabaxi barbarian based off Scarface Claw.

My kids really love those books, and it turns out kids books make great scaffolds for RP characters.

I could see the usefulness of saying, "hey I saw this on my phone a few days ago, which site was it?"

To answer my own pondering. We could feed your browsing history to a local LLM, it could fetch a synopsis of the site and be able to answer that question very easily.

This wouldn't require a really powerful AI model, combine this with desktop search and you have close to what MS is offering.

Ok, so my next question would be, is this a problem that needs solving?

At a long time Linux user, I'm wondering if it is useful enough to look into an open and trustworthy solution to give this a go.

It is only "really good" at 40hr/week. It's only around $52/hr....if he was working more hours it gets worse.
