Yes, you are probably better off trying to replicate it without reinstalling, I guess this is trying to cater to AI techbros, or people that miss windows copilot (somehow?).

It's also a weird choice for that distro to base off Debian... Debian is famous for being stable, but AI stuff is usually considered "too old" after just a few months.

One tip though, if you try to replicate it using openclaw or any similar tool, run it in a VM without it having access your personal files. It has almost no safeguards, so you are putting your entire pc (and email mailbox / online accounts) at the mercy of AI hallucinations... One wrong command and it's all gone.

You can run llama.cpp on your real PC and have the VM connect to it.

Thumbs up for this comment

Depends if you want to see through your own walls, or someone else's walls!

Yes, such a shame. I really wanted them to succeed.

I played splitgate 1 and 2 since the beginning (and I am still checking it out sometimes).

My feeling is that they launched too early and they wasted too much time on their battle royale mode, probably trying to attract compulsive spenders kids.

Linux got added shortly after launch, before BR got added if I remember right, which is fair for a beta/early access. But IMHO it went out of beta way too quickly, before they fixed many of the complaints. When they realized they fucked up, they went back into beta and tried to relaunch later (weird move, and probably turned off many of the remaining players).

IMHO the game problem is that they made it revolve a lot around BR, with not enough map variety for normal arena modes. They clearly wanted BR to be the mode everyone plays most. The arena maps had a distinct lack of portal surfaces, and BR was also weird with a limited amount of portals available, which defeats the game's selling point. The fans of the game also wanted an arena shooter, not another fortnite.

Nowadays arena is much better with more maps (they brought back some of the splitgate 1 maps), progression is no longer locked in strange ways and more modes are there.

It's a shame they failed so badly that they had to lay off people.

The linked video at the end of the article shows the trail, and it's for sure an expert level trail, full of dangerous sections. The video says the full trail is only 30km long, but they reccommend 2-3 days, it's full of steep sections, cliffs at the side, false trails leading nowhere, unstable terrain, bears... They were lucky they actually didn't get seriously injured.

GTNH suffers from this a lot, especially at the beginning 😅

Thousands of items, you always need to carry around at least 5 different tools because you constantly use them.

Even going mining fills up your inventory with so many types of the same ore (raw copper ore, crushed copper, impure copper dust, copper dust, ... ), not to mention if you decide to go loot a dungeon.

Also you unlock AE2 200h into the game, so good luck with your chests until then!

It's a fun modpack though, I still reccommend to try the 2.9 beta and laugh at the ridiculous crafting trees and how painful everything feels (try to craft a door, good luck!)

This "promotion as next obvious thing you want" needs to die. I don't want to go manage people and have told my manager that I'm happy in my current role and I don't want a promotion. He was quite happy to know he did not have to worry about that.

I think we need much more accessibility in websites, but we also need local, helpful AI to help people with disabilities. The world is not only websites and computers, and I guess the AI tools help immensely in interacting with the physical world.

It would be cool if somebody with disabilities would provide their perspective on this!

It's a fedora atomic distro. I like the isolation of apps and it being "almost impossible to break", and I want to give a serious try to what looks like the future of OSs.

I tend to fiddle with the OS a lot, and this isolation limits me to flatpak and distrobox. It is a big limitation, but is perfect if you want to have a reproducible, isolated environments to develop code, but installing a system package is just too easy. Basically you need to spend time and know what you are doing to workaround this isolation, which makes sense to me.

Bazzite tweaks everything to be gaming-focused (it also ships with steam preinstalled, for example). The other fedora atomics (silverblue/kinoite) are just more "generic" and not gaming-focused compared to bazzite, but they have a similar setup. I think bazzite just customizes them.

You can also switch your entire system between them, with just a CLI command, with the ability to rollback too. So once you are in an atomic distro, you can switch without too much pain (in theory, at least).

I really want to make it or fedora kinoite my main distro at some point

As a men, I love your answer. I would upvote it 100 times if I could.

The society is always pushing the ideal of men that is bold, strong, independent, commandeering, never showing weakness. It creates a culture of toxic masculinity and deep insecurities that must be kept hidden, otherwise you are admitting to being weak and thus a lesser man. IMHO it' also a big contributor to the loneliness epidemic and incels existing.

As you said, it's similar to the problem of the completely unrealistic woman bodies shown in advertisement. It's unreachable by definition.

If you are a man, be kind, be open to others and be vulnerable. You are enough as you are, you'll live more happily if you stop chasing whatever others call "perfection", and start living your life as yourself. You are the strong one for fighting against those deeply unhealthy ideals, instead of succumbing to it.

I really support femnism too: the right of being treated as a valid person, equal to everyone else, should apply to all. Men and women alike.
