Why is it ideology when it’s community focused code, and bigger picture when it’s corporate friendly code?

Not really. Imagine they replace the ssh binary with a back doored version. Home directory encryption protects your data but not your system.

Out of curiosity how is life without systemd better? What does it taste like?

The reason I wouldn’t give advice if you didn’t want it because unwanted unsolicited advice tends to be useless and annoying for most people. If you didn’t want the advice I wouldn’t waste my time.

My advice is to focus on being able to organize your thoughts and write them out in a cohesive structured way.

This helps you:

1. Express yourself in a clear, understandable, and perhaps persuasive way.
2. Organize your own personal wants, needs, and desires introspectively.

Both of these are important life skills that are extremely beneficial. Using a LLM to organize and clarify positions is like using a crutch when you should be in physical therapy. On top of this using a LLM completely erases any personality in your writing and replaces it with corpo style speak.

Practicing organizing and expressing your ideas (like physical therapy) can be hard and sometimes painful. But you get better.

Using a LLM is like refusing to go to physical therapy and using crutches for the rest of your life by choice. Easier in the short term but bad for your own quality of life long term.

Places like lemmy are great for writing practice. Rambling nonsense is pretty universally downloaded. Lemmy forces you to organize and classify what you are thinking and why.

If you want to get started I would recommend the basic “5 Paragraph Essay” structure. In the case of a basic lemmy comment take those principles and make it a 5 sentence structure.

I hope this helps.

Would you want a piece of good faith, sincere advice? If not I can drop things.

Do you always have ideas in the middle of the night and want to post them only to have an RSI flare up and no laptop nearby and decide to use ChatGPT to write your posts?

It’s not just this response. All of your posts read the same way.

Like using AI as a writing assistant is fine and all. But the posts you copy paste over are mostly LLM structured arguments.

Why are you using ChapGPT to make comments on lemmy? What’s the point?

Small note. Opensuse Leap is EXTREMELY stable. Just as stable as RHEL and more stable than non-LTS Ubuntu. It’s just less well marketed in the English speaking world.

This article is from 2024. Hopefully it worked out. 😆

It’s a matter of ideology.

This being said I think for you installing “official” apps via flatpak might be the best compromise. You gets apps that don’t need tinkering with and “just work” while those apps are isolated from the rest of your system via flatpak isolation.

If you are going into a period low fiddle time this might be your best bet ^
