Dr460nized - Upgrade - Transfer to Dragonized Gaming

Hi There. I’ve been using Garuda Dragonized for a few years now but in the last 6 months or so I’ve started to install Dragonized Gaming. My No. 1 Daily use PC has Dragonized on it but it has too much stuff I use daily to consider a re-install.
Have we, or do you fancy writing, a script which will update Dragonized to Dragonized Gaming?

OK, I did that, in fact ChatGPT did it for me in about 20 Seconds :grimacing:
Is it just a case of installing the additional apps or am i over-simplifying it?

That should be it.

I’ve started to use ChatGPT for a lot of things. Very impressed.
Not really bothered if the Chinese are looking at it.

The important thing is to use it in the right way.
To speed up, to automate, for productivity, for controls is fine.
But in my opinion we should not get too carried away and stop thinking for ourselves.
Otherwise I don’t want to think what today’s students will be tomorrow.
This of course even with the most privacy-oriented AI.

The Kate compare is actually easier to understand.
I’ll start the install tomorrow and let you know how it goes.
Are there any other Dragonised-Gamer tweaks other than the extra apps?

Btw…

Every time a user inputs a prompt, ChatGPT’s massive language model processes it, using an estimated 2.9 Wh of energy. That’s nearly ten times what it takes for a single Google search. With around 200 million queries daily, this adds up to about 621.4 MWh every day.31.10.2024
