I’ve only felt the need to change distros once, from Linux Mint to EndeavourOS, because I wanted Wayland support. I realize there were ways to get Wayland working on Mint in the past, but I’ve already made the switch and have already gotten used to my current setup. I personally don’t feel like I’m missing out by sticking to one distro, tbh. If you’re enjoying Mint, I’d suggest to stick with it, unless another distro fulfills a specific need you can’t get on Mint.

Came here with this show in mind. Would recommend.

I haven’t, but I’ll keep this in mind for the future – thanks.

I believe I was when I tried it before, but it’s possible I may have misconfigured things

I’ll give it a shot later today, thanks

edit: Tried out mistral-7b-instruct-v0.1.Q4_K_M.ggufvia the LM Studio app. it runs smoother than I expected – I get about 7-8 tokens/sec. I’ll definitely be playing around with this some more later.

That’s good to know. I do have 8GB VRAM, so maybe I’ll look into it eventually.

I’m looking forward to the day where these tools will be more accessible, too. I’ve tried playing with some of these models in the past, but my setup can’t handle them yet.

Yeah I wanted to use it for work until I read that. Instead I’m just using Vimwiki since I really only need markdown and linking.

kbin and mastodon

Hehe yeah, I’d have to agree. Studio Ghibli films are really nice. I should probably give it a rewatch some time soon.

Kiki’s Delivery Service

On /kbin, there is a feature called Collections – you can group similar communities akin to multireddits. These collections can be public or private, and don’t need to have an overarching theme. Public collections are pretty handy for discoverability too.

It sounds like you’ve taken the appropriate precautions. I’m sure others will have better suggestions, but perhaps you can try running a VM for a week or so as if you’ve made the switch and take note of anything you feel you may be lacking.

Couldn’t agree more.

EndeavourOS. I like having a relatively bloat-free setup. It’s also been nice because it’s been easy to manage so far.
