I'm not sure why you're being downvoted. I don't think the current technology is going to replace programmers or artists any time soon (speaking as someone who works as an artist and programmer in a field that monitors ai and its uses) but I also acknowledge that my guess is as good as yours.
I don't think it's going to replace artists because as impressive as the demos we all see are, inevitably, whenever I've done any thorough testing, every AI model fails at coming up with something new. It's so held back by what it's trained on, that to contemplate it replacing an artist - who are very capable of imagining new things - seems absurd to me.
Same with programming - ask for something it doesn't know about and it'll lie and make something up and confidently proclaim it as truth. It can't fact check itself and so I can only see it as a time saving tool for professionals and a really cool way for hobbyists to get results that were otherwise off the table.
I remember doing an IT course over a decade ago and learning about IPv6 taking over, honestly surprised it hasn't yet. I just looked it up and apparently they came up with it in 1998. How is it taking so long? Is there some technical reason it's harder or something? Does the extra address size mean a not so great trade off in traffic or something?
note: I did study a bit of networking and IT but have forgotten everything mostly and work in a different field, thus my ignorance.
And if you need to use Microsoft Teams for work it will ignore your preferences and open links in edge by default, so you'll have to find and disable that, too.
Yeah, it's become the new sports teams. Everyone loves blaming their problems on whatever generation they least identify with, when realistically there's no fair way to judge an entire generation and no fair way to compare groups with such large age gaps and wildly different experiences growing up.
I know this chain specified mainstream channels at the start, but I notice these kind of sentiments about modern music in general and I can't help but disagree. There's lots of really interesting modern music out there if you're not just looking in wide appeal places. I also think it's weird to use shock as a metric. Any internet generation is going to have a much higher threshold for being shocked. And even then it still does happen to some extent think Lil Nas X's Montero or WAP.
With the billions of people on the earth, it occasionally happens that more than one thing happens at a time. And sometimes there's no agenda behind it.
I'm mostly just speaking to the process. I can right click and mount the drive without a problem, but there's no way to auto mount it on startup without editing the fstab file and finding the uuid of the drive through the terminal (at least as far as I could tell) all of the functionality is there, which is rather laudable, but the process is unapproachable for a lot of people.
O and yea, I did have to disable some fast startup setting in windows to get the write access, I forgot about that. But yeah, that one's on Windows.
edit: sorry, this was actually pretty irrelevant to what I actually said, which was just about the write access which you pointed out was a windows issue. I got mixed up with my replies.
o, that's weird, this one might actually just be user error then, haha. I'll have to try again as I'm also using plasma.
I actually think it might be better for less tech literate people in some cases. Supposing it's pre installed or they have someone to set things up for them. If you're just using it to browse the web or write some documents the general experience is pretty good. It's only when you start trying to do a bit more with it that things get complicated.
O no, tinkering with the ui is a delight, especially when compared to windows! I love the amount of customisation you get.
And yeah, dual booting can be a pain, I had to learn a lot more than I thought I did to get everything setup reasonably, unfortunately it's also kind of a requirement for a lot of people who are thinking of swapping but need to give it a test drive first. I would have had a lot less issues without a dual boot, but I also need my computer for work so can't really go all in until I'm sure I can do everything I need first.
Also yes I agree, I am really excited for the future of Linux, even just having been using it and reading and watching Linux content for a short time I can already sense it's moving in a good direction. Very excited for wayland, not having different resolution scaling on different screens is another nitpick.
No, just a secondary hard drive. I use it for Windows and Linux so it's ntfs. I was just trying to save a file to it but it said I didn't have access, turns out I needed to specify ntfs-3g in the fstab file before I could write to it.
I feel you, I'm sure a lot of it comes down to familiarity. I just very recently did a fresh reinstall of windows and endeavour in a dual boot. And honestly the Calamares installer is a lot nicer than the windows one. But doing simple things like just writing to a secondary hard drive is a non-issue in windows whereas in Linux it was a whole learning adventure.
I have tried quite a few now. Fedora, Mint, Debian - none could detect my wifi card so I had to go do a bunch of googling to try and get them working, found what driver I needed but was never able to actually find out how to install it, other than some terminal commands in forums that didn't end up working. I stuck with Endeavour OS because it detected it without any problems.
I have a keyboard that I configure with an online tool called via that requires something called hid. On windows it just works but on Endeavour I have to enable something through the terminal.
I have a shared data drive and in order to make it mount when I start the computer I had to go and edit some fstab file?
I couldn't even figure out how to install a dual boot with with fedora and mint because it asked me about the root and home and swap and boot partitions and didn't explain how to set any of them up or what they did.
I needed a program for work that wasn't on a repository and I had to google howw to launch an .sh file because clicking doesn't work haha. Also through the terminal.
I'm not saying these are crazy insurmountable problems, and windows definitely has some similar things, getting my tablet working was so much smoother on Linux for example. But I've had to learn so much more about how my computer works to actually use Linux and I'm just not sure the majority of people will have that patience.
