She does enjoy lightly torturing Picard. I imagine she saw his disciplined mind and thought, "challenge accepted".

Probably because they are not actively working to make sure it works properly. So it is better to set low expectations vs having people get upset if they hit problems.

For a secondary drive of game installs that makes perfect sense. It's an ideal use case. If you used it for an OS drive I am very surprised. What hardware was it used in?

They probably looked at how much you spent on games and decided it was worth it to keep you playing. lol

To add on top of other people's comments, SD cards should not be considered reliable. They are made from the cheapest bottom of the barrel NAND flash. For storing contents that you write once then read many times and can easily replace, they are fine. But you don't want it for an OS drive.

I run Truenas scale on home server and on the off-site backup at a friend's house. ZFS Snapshots get synced to backup server nightly. The snapshot system is nice because it only needs to send what has changed since the last synced snapshot.

Now that I have it setup it is mostly no effort on my part. But the initial ramp up to understand Truenas and ZFS was a second job for a few weeks. HexOS may be good choice if you want the power of Truenas but the handholding of setup wizards and such. But HexOS is currently $200 and Truenas is free. Pay in time or dollars.

Linus has literally talked about that multiple times. He learns just enough to cover what is needed for the video, does the video, then forgets most of.

They are more entertainment and light education. They are trying to target a very wide audience, so they can't really do deep on things. For actually learning I like LearnLinuxTV and LawrenceSystems.

I would personally use Debian as my first choice then use Ubuntu if there is a reason to use it over Debian. For example Ubuntu will often integrate drivers for new devices faster than Debian. But if you are dealing with hardware released more 1 year ago, I wouldn't worry about that. Also, some applications will specifically call out Ubuntu as their supported distro.

You just get to learn to be VERY patient.

At first glance I thought this was an ADHD meme not a Star Trek meme.

Chrome Remote Desktop works if she uses the Chrome browser and you only need occasional control when she present to authorize you getting access to her computer.
