For gaming, Ubuntu’s got the strongest support.

Why do I know that?

Because I tried running Steam on … perhaps openSUSE or Void, & was told by Steam that they only support Ubuntu.

Since then I’ve read that they support others, but it was only a few years ago where they told me they only backed that one.

Linux Torvalds has spoken on how you simply can’t make an app that will work on all distros: it isn’t possible.

Gentoo would except for that kind of compatibility probably be your highest-performance OS, since you can intentionally include ALL of the CPU-optimizations which test to work best for you.

Twist the question:

Do you really care if your partner lives-in instagram “reality” or in what you experience as reality?!

Appearance-based “league” costs: it costs attention, focus, dedication, & resources.

Some care about experience-induced-value, others about appearance-based-value, & it shows.

Had a friend tell me once they lost a friend to modeling: it ate her brain.

Now all she could discuss were makeup & hair.

Was Einstein at the bottom, or the top, of “league”, once he’d become a philosopher?

See?

One’s values is the basis of “league”.

Want to know what possibility for harvesting a particular element is, from the ocean?

click on it in https://www.mbari.org/know-your-ocean/periodic-table-of-elements-in-the-ocean/

( scroll down a bit )

& see a new page open up, identifying how abundant/not it is, & the top-to-bottom-gradient of it…

Rare-earths may be sufficiently harvestable from the ocean using Metal-Organic-Frameworks, for coastal de-salination plants, or tidal-power-plants, if done at scale…

( which would break national-monopolies, wouldn’t it? )

just don’t bother trying to mine iridium through that method: you’ll never get enough to make it worthwhile.

All the apps using QT, so therefore QT.

Lighter than KDE ( which I used back 'round the turn of the millenium ), & sane.

PS: part of the problem is the ideological-position, that conforming-with-opinion is the only valid option, & the alternative is being-against…

whereas in Science, diversity-of-perpsective is how we outsmart ignorance, & how we win.

That objectivity, that taking-multiple-perspectives, has to be IN our culture, for us to win.

Otherwise, it’s only this-conforming against that-conforming, ideology vs ideology, & that’s just herdbeast-herds-butting-heads-with-extra-steps.

Externalizing issues, de-politicizing them, so that people can SEE that losing-food-security-produces-migrations-and-wars, & it has nothing whatsoever to do with being “woke” or not: it’s a SYSTMS question…

that kind of thing’s required, too, but no discussion-forum is coded to provide the required-means, so … that potential dies, the way we’re doing things.

Too bad, it’d have been nice to be more-viable, but if it “can’t be afforded”, then Status Quo will have to be our epitaph, right?

< shruggeth >

Sociopolitical-strongarming prefers emotionally-loaded “debate”, whereas issues are things that just are, even when we’re ignoring them, & that requires a totally-different method-for-mitigating-the-problems-living-in-them.

Without sociopolitical-strongarming. & making that the proper place for issues to be seen/discussed, so that there’d be none of the “just keep in your head the context & the principles, & fight over whatever it is that you’re currently-remembering” … instead it’s all caused to be more rational.

That is a whole-society problem, though: countries which could have been saved by such a change, die, groups too, regions too…

It’s the same principle that Stephen R. Covey identified, decades ago, when he pointed it out that the lowest-3%-in-effectiveness didn’t externalize their goals, but the top-1% all of them did.

Countries need to externalize the issues, in issue-diagrams, instances need to do the same, industries, projects, communities, regions, etc, as a standard method for de-toxifying things & making the problem and not the politics be what people are concentrating into correcting.

Whatever…

You can manage, or control, whichever, your-own territory: you can’t control other people’s/factions’ territories.

Fact of life.

It isn’t that anybody “can” make the internet safe, or healthy, rather, it is that we have to make good internet successfully compete in the ecology, & therefore remain viable when the DarkTetrad motivations { narcissism, machiavellianism, sociopathy-psychopathy, sadism } are trying to gut/murder good from the world.

Natural Selection! Successfully compete, & remain in the ecology!

Simple as that.

( PS: reading Logan, King, & Dr. Fischer-Wright’s book “Tribal Leadership” would be competence-growing, as it’s on the 5 culture/process levels, from gang/mass-shooter’s competitive-nihilism CultureLevel1 to “LIVING IS SELF-INHERENTLY AWESOME!!” CultureLevel5. They incorrectly call them “stages”, but caterpillar->moth is stages, these usually revert to CultureLevel2, subject-to-narcissism culture…

Here’s the book itself: https://www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/tribal-leadership-revised-edition

& here’s the TED Talk with the oversimplified intro to that work: https://www.ted.com/talks/david_logan_tribal_leadership

IF the people managing or leading communities were all competent in those levels, & their natures & functions, THEN it’d be easier to de-toxify our portion of the world. )
