Nice! Thanks for the tips.
I've seen mint but never tried it. Might have to experiment in my free time.
Desktop. I believe minimal is basically CLI-only.
Built my new PC with an AMD 8600G and 48GB RAM. Man! The thing is so much faster than my laptop! 😂 sporting Xubuntu, for now. What's your favorite distro?
Also, video editor for Linux? I thought I saw capcut had a version for Linux, but apparently not. Looking into shotcut.

Sometimes an explanation is not only simply not necessary, like in the case of daily chores, but may be detrimental to the child, such as in the case of emergencies or topics for which the child is not ready. Obedience without question is a virtue when applied to legitimate authority, that is those who are trustworthy, responsible, and proximal.
In the case of adults, imagine if an employer had to justify his direction at each step in a process. Eventually, the employee may benefit from an explanation for each step, but it would be better for both to get him familiar with the process first.
So, too, with law and governance.
Now, I would say much of our modern governance is not trustworthy, responsible, nor proximal, but great caution need be had in resisting. Take stances carefully.
At the same time ... I've found we have definitely erred on the side of too much explanation, and now our eldest basically needs us to tell him our reasoning before he complies. Authority exists and is not just one will overpowering another.
Got my new PC up and running. Currently sporting Xubuntu. What's your favorite linux distro?
Sorta? The terminal itself is a GUI (more like TUI), but the program itself doesn't handle any GUI elements and only interfaces with the terminal.

About to build a machine that can actually edit video and give my poor 7y/o laptop a break.
This was *literally* my next idea! You have a few more things thought out, but the idea is to pipe data from machine to machine, so as to treat lower end devices as thin clients of the more powerful device by piping in data, so the compiler runs on the faster machine, and the editor itself runs on your portable laptop.
I really like the idea of baking in cluster management. Hot-swappable compute management could allow an office to scale compute without needing a server room. Your desks *are* the server room! Flippin' sweet.
The main paradigm shift is exposing interfaces to the user other than keyboard and mouse actions in-app, and anything more would be near exclusively a per application-pair basis. With this, the user can plug anything into any other thing with a similar data structure!
Whoa... I just thought of a paradigm shifting development for computing.
One-time, periodical, on-demand, and real-time data sharing between applications using user-definable data pipes, achieving a secure, memory safe, and more streamlined alternative to repeat clipboard operations. This would pair with a window manager so that very simple applications could be written and plugged into one another in wrappers to compose new applications.
Imagine ...
1. Two-way piping a Nostr app window into a signer app so the Nostr app needs no signature method, just a signature request/receive pipe fitting.
2. Maybe pipe in a Bitcoin signer with the invoice and CRM app to send payment requests to customers without needing to trust the CRM dev with your key, and that's plugged into an email app from a completely different developer.
3. A game app could have a renderer, but some raw data could be piped through another app and streamed via the internet as non-video data. The viewers would open the same renderer app and pipe in the streamer's data, maybe have their own setting and characters, rendered at far higher framerates and resolutions without increasing network load.
4. Do you like one app's interface but another's processing performance? Pipe between the two! Maybe pause one app to save resources, isolating performance on the one you're more interested in, and restart the processing app when you're ready.
5. Automated, custom data processing flow: Email app → filter app → CRM → Invoicer → Signer app → Invoicer → CRM → email app
6. Plumb a pipe to an AI processor and back to automate your workflow. Like a 3D modeler, to an image AI, to your image manipulator, and only then go to disk or email, not having to save-upload-download-open in-between.
Automate rather than copy-pasting, saving from one and opening in another, and do it in real time!
Yes, some of these can be automated using other services like zapier, so maybe it won't catch on immediately, but the power users might, and their higher performance due to it.
Gotcha. A step above needing to code your own font engine. That's pretty low level. It's probably great for data visualization or building a game engine, or at least something that changes frequently.
I don’t in Rustland. Both nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s and nostr:npub1acg6thl5psv62405rljzkj8spesceyfz2c32udakc2ak0dmvfeyse9p35c would be opinions I would trust and endorse sight unseen on it though, and they’re both working on guis in rust right now, so both current and actually have PoW.
Imgui is the only one I’ve heard people I actually knew using. I’ve also checked out AreWeGuiYet? ( https://areweguiyet.com/ ) to see if Rust was viable for my job, and if you haven’t already, it might be a good resource.
In C++, the choice is Qt if your project is of any size and cross platform. There is no other choice that comes close. That being said, I hate it with a passion as powerful as 10,000 suns. And I still use it.
I just realized that Gossip is written entirely in Rust! It's the only real client on Windows (never got nostrmo to work).
I might have to dabble and contribute!
I believe you mean existentialism, not nihilism.
Nihilism despairs of any meaning to existence, whereas existentialism decides meaning.
Another idea: true sub-accounts, that is, npubs, just like new addresses under Bitcoin. Allows for one to interact more anonymously without creating an alternate key and maintain interoperability, etc.
Additionally, multiple personae with one key would allow others to follow one persona under a key but not all, just as a personal and professional side to an npub. More basic* than tagging.
This may prove difficult, but I don't know, since I'm not a cryptographer.
*basic to mean low-level or foundational, not simple.
