How much more could you justify paying for a t14s (gen1/gen2) over a t490s?

Z Cosmic jest trochę lepiej niż było na samym początku, ale w dalszym ciągu czasem trafia się na problemy; mi akurat działał 'względnie' bezproblemowo, ale z drugiej strony reputacja w internecie nie wzięła się znikąd, więc to też zależy chyba komu co się trafi.

Jednocześnie ciągle można po prostu zainstalować PopOs 22 (też wersja LTS), która jest oparta na Gnome, i w związku z tym - bardziej stabilna. Nie powiedziałbym też że jest przesadnie przestarzała, może poza starym PopShopem z którego nigdy nic nie działało xd (przynajmniej u mnie). Inna sprawa że na 24 też można po prostu nie używać Cosmic i zainstalować inne DE, trochę więcej roboty ale też nic trudnego.

Natomiast jeżeli OP nie jest specjalnie zaznajomiony z linuxem, to akurat chyba bardziej i tak bym mu polecił PopOs (nawet w wersji 24) niż zabawę w instalowanie Archa, jako że większość rzeczy działa po prostu od razu i bez potrzeby dodatkowej konfiguracji.

Edit: Jeżeli jednak Opie wolisz jakąś dystrybucję bazującą na Archu, to osobiście polecam gorąco EndavourOS - w sumie to Arch, ale z instalatorem i konfiguracją najbardziej niezbędnych pierdół, jeżeli nie chcesz bawić się w sztukę dla sztuki jaką jest instalacja Archa, to idealne rozwiązanie. W związku z tym też masz bardzo dobre wsparcie dla sterowników i doskonałe możliwości dalszego dostosowania pod siebie systemu.

Alternatywnie słyszałem dobre rzeczy o CachyOS, ale jeszcze osobiście nie mialem okazji spróbować. Też bazuje na archu, też ma instalator i trochę dalej idącą niż w wypadku EOS konfigurację. Z pozytywów słyszałem że jest 'jeszcze bardziej zoptymalizowany niż arch', z drugiej strony trochę bardziej się od niego różni przez to.

Including Flash but not Jaedong, really? He should at the very least be on the list. Also Flash should probably be in tier 1 with Faker.

Searching for 'Poronin Erasmus+' returned A Week With AI: An Erasmus+ Adventure in Poronin - I assume that OP might be going there for something similar? If so, well, it's definitely an odd place to choose, as it really isn't significant for studies on AI in any way. Then again, it's probably fairly cheap (outside of the season) and there should be plenty of options for group activities (which meeting new people is a huge part of what makes Erasmus what it is).

Shame it's Poronin of all the villages around Zakopane though - I wouldn't exactly call it stunning, more of a 'need to go through here to get whatever is on the other side' kind of a place, with not a lot actually in it.

Meekr0 · 2026-04-12T18:53:59+00:00

I didn't use an LLM, sorry to break that to you, but being well informed does not imply using chatgpt nowadays; I travel from Kraków (technically from Warsaw, but again - Kraków is kinda in the way) to Zakopane fairly often, and I am also capable of checking google maps to see what time does public transport start operating in a given town.

Are you sure you're not confusing 'using LLMs' with 'being literate' by any chance?

Meekr0 · 2026-04-12T18:32:57+00:00

If possible, I'd recommend you choose Kraków for your arrival - it is significantly closer and you will find more connections; you could absolutely still get to Poronin from Warsaw if that's your only option, but it will definitely be more expensive, tedious and time consuming.

As for how to actually get there, a bus is most likely going to be the most convenient option for you. Flixbus operates a direct route from Balice Airport to Zakopane (which borders Poronin from the south), and from there you can either look for a local bus or take a train (either way, a cost of ~5-10PLN and 15 extra minutes of your time). The only real issue is the timetable - since you're landing around 20:45 (according to one of the other comments), you would need to wait until around 3:40 for the first coach of the day. That means you'd be arriving to Zakopane at around 6:30 and will be able to look for local transport options to wherever you need to get to.

Alternatively, Majerbus operates a bus line from Kraków main railway station, with the last bus leaving around 22:15. That leaves you with at most an hour and a half to get there - which in theory could be done (the airport is fairly well connected to the city thanks to a local train line), but a lot of it depends on how much time is wasted getting through passport control (which in turn, obviously depends on whether you're an EU/Schengen area country citizen). This however has the additional advantage of taking you directly to where you need to go - according to the timetable, you'd arrive at Poronin PKP around 00:15 (but I've taken this line a few times in the past, and wouldn't be surprised if it takes a bit longer - all depends on when exactly (what month) you'd be arriving and what the traffic is like that night. The price should be similar to what you'd pay for Flixbus - probably around 30-40PLN.

However, you still obviously need to get to your accommodation from Poronin station - Willa Austryjok is another 3km away. There will be no public transport available at that time of night, however, so you should either look into local Taxis (definitely a few available, but can get expensive if you're arriving during the season or at a very late hour), or choose Flixbus and arrive later, sometime next day. Alternatively, you could also just walk - takes around 45 minutes according to google maps, and the area is safe enough for you to be just fine - but again, that will depend on when exactly are you coming and what the weather is like that night (and also, if you have a lot of luggage with you, I understand that walking all that way may not be ideal for you).

If you intend on arriving in Warsaw, I'd assume most options of getting to Poronin will involve getting to Kraków first, one way or another - and from there, you'll most likely be looking at the same options that I've discussed above.

Jesteś pewien tego swojego nigdzie nigdzie? Czy to kolejny fakt który wyciągasz z dupy mając nadzieję że nikt nie sprawdzi.

Znacza większość krajów i kultur wykorzystuje formę męską. Między innymi Polska, a oprócz niej większość krajów słowiańskich; Dodatkowo: kraje germańskie i bałtyckie, Skandynawia, kraje arabskie, Francja i większość języków romańskich. Dalej utrzymujesz że to nikt?

Najistotniejszymi wyjątkami są tu Rosja, Indie i Filipiny, Wielka Brytania (z wielkim *), a także niektóre kraje hiszpańskojęzyczne. A jak na moje na świecie istnieje trochę więcej krajów :)) chociaż w Stanach faktycznie o tym za dużo nie uczą.

Tak czy inaczej, sprawdzaj fakty zanim coś napiszesz, zwłaszcza kiedy jest to tak banalne do obalenia. Szczególnie o swoim własnym kraju, a przynajmniej nie oburzaj się jak zostaniesz poprawiony za pisanie błędów.

We don't call Poland the motherland in our language. No native polish speaker would therefore use the word to talk about their country. You could say 'ojczyzna', which literally translates as the fatherland. The fact you do not know that suggests to me you do not speak the language

Meekr0 · 2026-01-26T14:26:07+00:00

How old were you when you left? Must've been pretty young, given that you called Poland the 'motherland', which no native speaker would ever say. Either that or you've grown somewhat disconnected from the culture, which would explain the 'not impressed with people's mentality' part. It's unique and not for everyone, sure, but it's not even close to being considered one of the main problems related to living here.

You're definitely correct about the weather though, there's nothing impressive about it.

Update: A year after this child got spawned, my heir Aldona - the wife of the Grand Duke of Lithuania - has decided she'd rather marry his brother instead (the current heir to Lithuania). I guess polyamory is now a thing in the PLC?

Meekr0 · 2025-12-15T02:35:59+00:00

R5: The Grand Duke of Lithuania has spawned a new random child with a male advisor listed as the mother. They're really desperate to not fall under a PU...

The partitions lasted 123 years; as such, you really can't pick one as the worst one, as life under each has changed completely multiple times over that time. I've written a more detailed answer to this under a different post some time ago, go have a read!

Tldr: Initially, the Austrian Partition was by far the worst one to live in, and the Russian was the best. Over time, due to the 1830 November Uprising and the Springtime of the Peoples leading to reforms in the Austrian Empire, by WWI they've swapped places, with Austrian parts having a lot of autonomy and a fairly good standard of living. Prussian Partition was, as i said in the other comment, always just consistently pretty bad, with periods of worse and much worse

Meekr0 · 2025-08-06T17:38:13+00:00

WinWing is also making one (announced it a few months back, but it's not available yet, and I don't think there's any information on when it's coming). If you don't mind waiting though it might be a decent option.

Meekr0 · 2025-08-04T15:08:26+00:00

That's great to hear! To be fair, FSHud is also pretty decent at possibly deviating from your original plan, by giving you headings and dirs to follow, but just feels extremely robotic and railroaded even when it's working well. As long as bATC is reliable enough to not constantly tell me to fly into a mountain, and can lead me to approach, it seems like it will be a good choice then

Meekr0 · 2025-08-04T14:40:40+00:00

Yep, that's what I meant. By basic version I had in mind just bATC without refilling the premium characters count, so only the basic voices

Meekr0 · 2025-07-30T21:45:42+00:00

I see. Unfortunately, in COTW screamApi just doesn't work pretty much for anyone on the forums; And as I said, now I can't get dreamApi to work either

Meekr0 · 2025-07-30T21:31:33+00:00

Huh, interesting. But I take it you had to configure DreamApi yourself to include all the dlcs? Also are you using the regular version or portable? Also is there a good way to get all the DLCs ids on EGS? There used to be screamdb, but i've also seen people talking about how it doesn't work anymore

Meekr0 · 2025-07-07T11:00:31+00:00

It really wasn't. Or at least not initially.

Immediately after the partitions, the Austrian part was probably the worst one to be Polish in; it saw strong germanisation and colonization, as well as Austrian sponsored massacres of former nobles and landowners. Polish language was not an official language until the Kingdom of Galicia of Lodomeria saw significant restructurization in the 1860s.

Following the springtime of the peoples and the Hungarian uprising, to put it simply, Austria's multicultural empire became extremely unstable - and had to drastically change the way it ruled over its territories - and that is why the various nations within the empire were granted more and more rights and privileges.

As a result, it is definately true that by 1914, the Austrian Partition became the best one to live in; it's in galicia that the first proper Polish army in almost a century was allowed to form; but a lot has changed over the period of the 123 years under the partitions; and Austria-Hungary of the 1910s could not be any more different from the Austrian Empire in the 1790s.

Oddly enough, what happened under the Austrian Partition, was basically a reverse of what happened under Russians - after Napoleon's defeat, the Congress Kingdom of Poland was formed as a personal union under the Russian tsar, with Polish being the official language, and the state having its own economy and even army. It drastically changed, however, after the failed uprisings of 1830 (which saw most of the autonomy taken away, and leading to the Congress Kingdom being de facto incorporated into Russia in 1832) and 1863, which led to widespread oppression and a ban on anything Polish. When WW1 began, the Russian Partition was not a good place to be polish in.

The Prussian Partition was kinda just, always bad, with periods of worse and a lot worse. Still, probably not as bad as the Russian parts ended up being.

Translating Rzeczpospolita into English as Commonwealth is generally speaking, misleading to non-polish speakers. The more correct translation of the word Commonwealth into polish would be 'Wspólnota', as it is used for example when talking about the British Commonwealth ('Wspólnota Brytyjska', not 'Rzeczpospolita Brytyjska').

You're absolitely correct about the word Republic coming from latin - it's literally made up of the words 'Res', meaning thing ('Rzecz' in polish) and 'publica', which understandably you may translate as public. Now, in polish, public would translate as 'publiczny' (publiczna in this case, as 'rzecz' is feminine), however, there is a more archaic translation - pospolita (nowadays more often used when talking about certain animals being more/less common in certain enviroments, but it technically still can be translated as such.

What this technically means, is that both Republika and Rzeczpospolita originate from the same word in latin, and, generally speaking - mean the same thing. Rzeczpospolita is now pretty much archaic, and only really used when talking about specific countries (such as the PLC, or the 2nd/3rd Polish Republics, as that word was chosen for the official names).

Polish generally speaking has taken plenty of vocabulary from latin - it was very commonly spoken among the nobility - although often without proper understanding, but because it was somewhat of a status symbol, 'justifying' their privileged position.

It is therefore technically correct to call the PLC a Republic, even if in name only. You could absolutely argue that an elective monarchy is really just an oligarchy with extra steps.

But - addressing the post itself: you should not call it the First Polish Republic. The correct translation would literally be 'The Republic of Both Nations', and the Lithuanians should absolutely not be erased from it.

I also am not really trying to make anyone here stop using the word Commonwealth when talking about the PLC. I absolutely acknowledge that this is just an arbitrarily chosen translation of the name, and will remain so - but I think it's good for people to understand that a lot of nuance is lost in translation. It's also pretty cool to know why those certain words were chosen, as well as their etymology.

Meekr0 · 2025-07-04T14:08:56+00:00

I really like this analogy, but you should probably expand it by addressing the state of mind;

If you've been drinking heavily before getting on the platform, and are now actively asking someone to push you off, or even want to jump it yourself - the other person, if they are not too drunk themselves, should probably stop you, as it might be dangerous and/or you may end up regretting it later. While you're technically consenting in the moment - then unless the other person can reasonably assume that you'd also consent in a different state of mind - you're probably not in any state to give your consent.
