Does your govt not buy memory, chips, computers? They pay premium for that. In addition, so middle manager in govt will say - I will work only if I have Premium AI Claude subscription. 100s of companies are doing that. They will fire workers - cause unemployment - affects economy- health etc for common citizen.

This bet includes you.

Pretty sure something in your hardware failing

We regularly buy dell latitudes or ThinkPad TPX series NEW ones for a large University. 100% Linux only usage.

Usual sleep/resume problems. No other problems

All problems with gfx you state are often listed in all dell forums - with windows.

Aliexpress style mini HT PC are always with poor drivers - even on Windows. Not just bazzite.

Seems true but even at 2x that price people want some reliability. As someone that has used .gov.in services - it is unreliable. Yes, many gov services can be done online -great kudos (otherwise people will start personally attacking me for being unpatriotic). Portals like license, passport, Aadhar (identity) card sites frequently undergo so much down time.

Just install Ubuntu and remove snap. We are doing this for our University pool etc and encountered no issues.

Make a list of all ppa before proceeding.

What is your use case?

You should try to communicate to managers (that are US citizens or greencard holders) that decide on H1B/outsourcing.

True. But the common man on the street wants things to be cheap. This is not sustainable unless on imports cheap h1b (or other overworked foreigners).

Edit: This is not meant to support h1b.

Ideal case - people that are not on H1B and work in these companies - contact your CEO/managers. People don't do that. Instead are happy to argue (or downvote) here.

In other words... general people don't need it.

Why?

If you go that far then

- senate

- scotus

- violence

- SV

- tech bros

- lies about AI

What is not broken.

The idea of academia is it is an investment. Look at internet, DoE, Genome, vaccines - a lot from academia. Companies barely do that.

Why? What did it do?

This is the problem. Overload. It is not a google problem. If you get 200 emails - even without AI - just by using Thunderbird or k9mail (android) it will be a problem.

Of course, there is nothing wrong about changing the provider. Variety is good.

I know some webhosting provider that used one VM for every user. Now they moved to using this. Firstly low resource usage. If one uses ZFS or btrfs then one can save storage as in common bits are not duplicated across system containers. Note this is a system container - not traditional container. This one can be rebooted to get the previous state. It is not ephemeral.
