  • Not at all my experience, I started using Linux in 2005, and Ubuntu was part of an explosion in available help for new users,
    but also many smaller distros had it, like for instance PC Linux which I think back on fondly.
    Beginner friendly distros was as much a thing back then as it is today.
    The biggest difference is more that Linux has become better, and some things are a lot easier today.
    Even Arch has an easy installer now!




  • As a European I can’t help smirking a bit, we have 2300 W on a single 10 amp connection.
    Usually kitchen has its own even in small apartments.
    Most have 400V 16A available in the kitchen, allowing for instance our stove to use up to 6400 W! With induction stove, we can give so much power that a ceramic frying pan cracks around the edge!! And not the cheap ones.
    It’s absolutely insane how fast you can boil water, way way faster than anything gas. It’s also way more energy efficient as a gas stove waste approximately 55% on average, and even more on high settings, as the heat simply escapes around pots and pans.

    OK I guess i went a bit besides the topic, I just find it amazing how powerful a modern stove is. 😋
