  • Hell yeah.

    I am the IT guy in my family, I have a bunch of S7s for the wife and kids with eOS, and everybody is more then happy with them.

    I got a fairphone 5 a awhile ago for myself, and while it did cost €600+, I wanted the modularity and reparability, I just wanted to support that type of company and try it out. Hopefully I will have it for 10 years or so.

    I ran bazzite on a Lenovo flexpad with Intel und 630 graphics and it ran perfectly. I even ran mechwarrior 5 on it, albeit with the graphics details turned down so low that it looked like a mechwarrior game from the 1990s.

    I’d give bazzite a go. Learning about how to install and use distroboxes is also lots of Linux fun.

    Edit: also, you literally cannot break any of the immutable fedora distros. Very newbie friendly.

    The truth of the matter is that we don’t really know.

    Science used to use “heavenly spheres” to calculate the movements of planets back when the earth-centric system was the leading theory. When the observations didn’t match the predictions, more spheres were added to adjust.

    Now we are doing the same thing with dark matter. We can’t explain how galaxies hold together, so we make up some placeholder substance that makes up the majority of mass in the universe, but is undetectable, and call it dark matter. It’s just like adding more heavenly spheres.

    With the Webb telescope we are finding lots of stuff that doesn’t fit our model, which is kind of like Galileo observing the moons of Jupiter for the first time. All of these new observations are showing us that out current model is possibly way off.
