What the heck is it? Looks like a guinea pig but that'd be good work on the piggie's part to get up there

Using an LLM for finance is insane, not only for the usual reasons AI is disliked here on Lemmy, but because the proper way to do this (putting aside whether you should) would be to tune a machine learning model, probably a supervised regression model, to do these predictions.

I've worked in business IT before, so I have a (very small) bit of background I can probably share from your bosses side.

If you're not recommending a distro that has a support contract (e.g. Red Hat), what you're creating is a bus situation - if you get hit by a bus, who is going to maintain the Linux terminals when they go down? Would that contract cover supporting LibreOffice? How will normal staff be able to figure out how to use Linux, and will there be a measurable increase in productivity from them, or will they be slow to adjust?

Regarding OneDrive (or more realistically, SharePoint and Microsoft 365), Microsoft has a service level agreement for this. I can't read it on my phone because it's in docx format, but I dare say that it does have some coverage for if data is leaked, otherwise most enterprises wouldn't even touch it.

Your boss likely doesn't have concern in that aspect because of the SLA assurance, and thus it makes more financial sense to move completely over to M365 and away from on premise servers that require constant maintenance, upkeep and power costs.

I'm not sure of the business size you're in, but I'd hazard a guess that its a small business if your boss is in a position to potentially change out the existing IT infrastructure. You're facing an uphill battle in convincing your boss to move to Linux because the desktop support for it is limited and likely expensive, and the alternative is to keep you and probably hire other Linux technicians to maintain those Linux systems when they go down.

It's just the vibe of the.. thing

...and they want to compete with the Steam Deck?

I get this a little bit too, like "oh god, did I just kick a hornet's nest?" but at the end of the day it's just people on a forum giving their takes while having a dump, if I say the wrong shit I'll stand corrected and otherwise if it's trolls, fuck em.

OP, I've been here before and walked this path - it's not one I advise anyone to take.

Minecraft and other video games are fun, especially with friends, but you have to have your priorities sorted first before indulgence. Do you want your degree, or do you want your degree? If you imagine yourself successful in 5 years time in the profession you're studying for, how bad do you want it?

Minecraft in class won't get you there, and will in fact hamper you. Unlike school, no one will stop you because the lecturers aren't paid to give a fuck about your success - they just lecture and it's on you to take notice.

My intention isn't to shame you, I just see myself 5 years ago in this image and while I bounced back, it was years of hard work on myself.

If you're finding yourself zoned out in lectures, you need to find study habits that work for you, and you have to be in the right headspace. You're very capable of completing this degree, you just have to do it.

Take your mental health seriously if you don't already, and work with student counsellors on study habits. They are paid to answer questions like "I feel zoned out in lectures, how do I keep engaged and not fall asleep to this guy?" and "How can I have a healthy balance of games and study?"

You're probably best making this a post, and also mention what you want out of your phone and why you're currently unhappy with your S24+

You know how there's those large burials that happen sometimes? What would you call a place where lots of deceased humans are buried?
