Not sure if this is just playing with the fact that a photon could be considered its own antiparticle in quantum field theory or if I missed the joke. Please, enlighten me.

Daily reminder that the World Wide Web was invented at CERN, so somewhere around the LHC highlighted in the picture. Who knows what the next big random innovation will be.

There's this (true) anecdote that precision measurements at CERN/LHC need to take into account the schedule of high-speed trains in the area because they cause tiny, yet measurable disturbances in the power grid.

After some major fuckups by Manjaro, consider EndeavourOS over Manjaro. They are pretty similar otherwise.

Arch is alright if you aren't new to Linux.

To be fair, Mint does a good job of fixing the annoyances that Ubuntu introduces. It comes with Snap disabled by default, for example.

It's not like you can't use Linux on a laptop with Nvidia GPU. It's just that AMD works better (and isn't as much of a PITA in how they treat regular Linux customers).

I've been roaming Linux (meme) communities for years, but never heard of this, even though it originates from the Bell Labs. Thanks for providing me with a new rabbit hole!

Easy. Every year is the Year of the Linux Desktop™.

The future as in this will dominate some day or as in this will be the best some day? Cause only one seems reasonable to me.
