Literally everything but Garuda is just a slightly cleaner version of what Windows does. Props to Garuda for being the only interesting one (and the best looking one).

More specific AI data centers will consume 70% of memory in 2026. I think it’s only fair that since when they were doing the bot farm raids and destroying the GPU’s used in them instead of reselling them that we get to start melting down AL supercomputers.

I’m so glad I moved from 8GB to 16GB in Jan of 2024 after stalling and stalling since 2019 when I first build my system. I still got the old memory though, never thought it would turn into literal gold bars.

I could be wrong but I believe neither Snapper not Timeshift support Limine.

Therefore, using Timeshift may be unnecessary for system snapshots.

Garuda did not use Timeshift anymore :wink: since years (?).

The discussion was in regards to CachyOS using Limine as their default boot loader.

This is going to sound a bit weird, but it might be a good idea to purchase a shortwave radio if you haven’t got one already. They’re quite cheap and small, you can buy one and store it long term just in case.

Shortwave is the only way to receive news and information internationally without relying on the internet or satellite. It might be a useful fallback to receive news from the outside world if your country’s media and internet are ever restricted or closed down.

If you’ve never used one, it’s like a normal radio, but the frequencies reach around the world. Every country used to have its own station.

Mine has AM/FM/SW, a flashlight, solar panel, USB and a hand crank. All it has done so far is making people call me a “Prepper”. :roll_eyes:
