This is the correct answer.

What do I think of Stephen A. Smith?

I don’t.

I hate this hacker crap.

But they are…

Once again, here’s one at $750.

Not pre-installed.

Here’s some great laptops with GNU/Linux pre-installed.

Here’s another company!

There are vendors supplying workforce laptops and miniPC’s running MintOS for less than $350 per unit, in bulk!

None of those links prove me wrong.

All of them prove your silly, bogus assertions wrong.

Try again.

Nah. Don’t have to.

That MacBook will have 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, which is completely useless, not to mention fucking highway robbery when you can buy a Windows laptop for half of that with better specs.

You said thousands of dollars. They’re not thousands. And yeah, you can get a cheaper machine. And put some flavor of GNU/Linux on that too!

LOL I’d love to see you prove me wrong. Go on ahead. It’s easy!

Highest market share ever, these days!

I don’t think you need a CS degree to run through this guide.

Here’s all the “techy people you know that might want to help you don’t know anything about Linux” coming together as a community to share what they know about the distro I linked to.

Stop being hyperbolic.

Pay thousands for a Mac computer that may not have the features you want, and never be able to upgrade or repair it, or

M1 Air costs USD $750 where I live.

Get a software engineering degree so you can figure out how to install, use and regularly debug Linux. Because even techy people you know that might want to help you don’t know anything about Linux.

Hyperbole to sell an easily disprovable false narrative. For what?

Calm down and eat your lunch, Helen.

I’ve been running Kubuntu for years now; it’s convenient to use for me for professional reasons, but I’ve never used to snap to get new software. I’ve never disabled the the service. Are there flavors of 'Buntu that are “unsnapped”, if you will? I know I should just search for it, but I thought I’d just ask.

Safety words are ignored as a matter of policy.

I will die on this hill. Their down votes mean nothing to me. I’ve seen what makes them cheer.

There’s vermin furries here?

Gross.

“Lib” isn’t the hardest-hitting pejorative I’ve been called, so go ahead and cringe your cute little butt-cheeks, comrade. I’ve read and seen what makes you and your ilk cheer.

Throw your molotov-sippy-cup nice and hard, and good luck with the revolution, you extra-nice-and-totally-not-a-sociopathic-bully “HeRo Of LaBoR”.

Point out tankies’ abundant similarities to the pigs in Animal Farm.

Raspbian (Buster) for my first; Kubuntu for my longest, and still happily enjoying it!

Call me a normie if you must, I need shit to work and I like it lookin’ pretty.

If you’re talking about “running”, that’s inference. I’m talking about elapsed training time.

Earlier in my career, I compiled tensorflow with CUDA/cuDNN (NVIDIA) in one container and then in another machine and container compiled with ROCm (AMD) for cancerous tissue detection in computer vision tasks. GPU acceleration in training the model was significantly more performant with NVIDIA libraries.

It’s not like you can’t train deep neural networks without NVIDIA, but their deep learning libraries combined with tensor cores in Turing-era GPUs and later make things much faster.
