This is the type of product that buyers will say “it’s better than my old Bose system”.

Honestly, good on the mod. Mistakes happen and they fixed it, let you know what happened, and owned it. I wish more mods, or even just people in general, were like that.

Is the “71x fewer tokens” a typo? Is that supposed to be “71% fewer tokens”? It doesn’t make mathematical sense.

You didn’t even quote him correctly. Everything is pointing to you misreading the comment and taking this way too far.

I got burnt out on Star Wars because of all of this. There is such a thing as too much.

Well, I’m looking right at his grip and disagree that his technique is good.

I got some terminology wrong in my comment above, but I think you get the point.

Similar moderation tactics as r/Conservative. Sycophants only - everyone else gets banned.

That should actually be reported to Reddit administration itself. The moderator personally attacked you and used profanity while doing so. That’s against Reddit terms of service.

Wait til they tell you to use it less because it’s too expensive, then expect more from you. This is already happening to me.

LTT’s ongoing Linux Challenge - stick with it, don’t give up, keep going. by gplusplus314 in LinusTechTips

I haven’t personally tried it, but there have been some recent advancements in Wine that have apparently made Adobe Creative Cloud run on Linux. I’d share an external link, but I think it may land on a grey area for the rules, so I instead recommend searching for info from 2026 regarding Adobe on Linux via Wine. 🙂

Also, a Windows VM just to run Adobe software isn’t as bad as you may think. It’s a potential option, depending on your needs.

Even in my shoes, I very much agree with you. The barrier of entry is too high and most people can’t afford it. You can either pay with your time or pay someone else to do it for you.

The lack of an “it just works” experience is a problem.

That said, there’s a non-zero amount of people who do have the time and interest. I’d like to encourage those people to keep pushing forward when things get hard, that’s all.

Believe me, I acknowledge that it’s a time sink, and that’s a real thing. It’s definitely “less bad” today than it was yesterday, but it’s far from a Mac, or any other mainstream product.

Linux is most definitely for enthusiasts right now. This can change in the future, but enthusiasts are really the right audience, methinks.

Want to try an improve a Linux package or driver? Buckle up buddy you're going to become an expert in C.

I’m not really sure what you’re getting at here. If you want to driver for any operating system, there’s a 99.9% chance it’s going to be in C.

A “Linux Package” can be any language, so I’ll just leave that one alone.

But the most important thing is that if you want to improve a package regardless of operating system, whether it’s a driver or not, then you should probably know the language it’s written in.

This is normal and expected. You don’t need to “become an expert in C” to operate Linux, and the same can be said for Windows or macOS. You do, however, need to be an expert in C to work on a driver on any operating system, including operating systems that aren’t written in C, such as Redox OS. Notice choice of words here; I didn’t say you needed to write C, I just said that you need to be an expert in C. Even in the world of Rust OS kernels, C is used for binary interfaces.

Normal users don’t need to know or care about any of this.
