I’d imagine you could run a VNC server, and then just login from the same PC. This kinda what you’re looking for?
There are some limitations, like I don’t think hardware acceleration would work, for example.
Edit: I did a little searching for “nested x-session” and found out that there is a specific x11 program to do exactly what you want called xephyr. There’s also a brief guide on the arch wiki.
I’ve got to agree with this. I love Linux and have run it on my servers for years. That said, I’ve got Mint on my laptop and tried to print an image over wifi at a friend’s place and could not for the life of me get it to print properly.
For the most part things do just work, but there are a lot more “obscure” scenarios that are handled correctly in windows but not Linux.
I also find that when things go wrong on Linux, they are harder to fix. I’ve had several times I’ve had to deal with circular dependency hell to get something to install properly. I did eventually get those problems resolved, but it was often a single person having a tangential problem that hinted me to how to solve it.
Edit: I think if your usage patterns are straight forward enough, it is by far and away the better choice. If you do the same stuff all the time, it’ll pretty much never break, which is not something I could say about windows. So for OP, it sounds like it would be a good fit.
It looks to me like the back of his chair. Ghost arm is much more entertaining, though.
Carrots help you hear better.
It’s true, but only in the dark.
Backblaze regularly releases failure rate statistics of their drives, and it’s often a big enough dataset to be quite meaningful. I haven’t been keeping up with it lately, but there certainly was a period of time where there were substantial differences in the failure rates of different manufacturers.
So while you do still need to have drive failure mitigation strategies, buying more reliable devices can definitely save you time and headache in the future by having to deal with failures less frequently.
I hope I get internet after I die too…

It took me up until reading your comment to get this one. “Is it that the scaling transformation only scaled the y-axis?? Oh…”
Oh no, Dholes play League.
One minor caveat where CPU could matter is AVX support. I couldn’t get ollama to run well on my system, despite having a decent GPU, because I’m using an ancient processor.
There are a ton of different variations of the golden rule that mostly have slightly different implications. Pretty much every religion has some flavour of it, and there’s a good reason for that.
Cooperation has for a long time been a necessary part of human life if one wishes to accomplish much of anything, and the golden rule has long been a building block of cooperation. Of course, it’s not particularly scientific and it’s precise implementations, as you’ve noticed, are either vague or not fully correct.
Enter game theory. The prisoner’s dilemma problem is a model cooperative game that explores various behaviour patterns between two parties. As it turns out, some of the best strategies to maximize personal gain given other opponents with unknown strategies are called: “forgiving tit-for-tat” strategies.
Basically, cooperate until you’re betrayed, punish betrayal, but then return to cooperation. I think if you squint a bit, you can kinda see how there’s similarity to the golden rule.
Veritasium has a pretty informative video on the subject: https://youtube.com/watch?v=mScpHTIi-kM
In short, yeah, it’s pretty good.
I didn’t even realize where we were until I read your comment.
This is the most efficient (known) packing of 17 unit squares inside a square. If you’re asking why it’s like that, that’s above my math proficiency level.

Want a hint? Think about a circle bound by an n-sided polygon. What happens to the space between the bounding polygon and the circle as n increases? And when n is infinite?
So of three possible regular tilings, which will be most and least efficient?
(Btw, strictly speaking, I shouldn’t have said tri/hex before, as it’s really just hex tiling.)
You could also use some fancy trig to calculate the efficiency %, but that’s way too much work for me. :)
I think you skipped a row.
Also, 6*6+7=???
Because it’s a smaller area than 7x7.
If you consider the regular packing in an infinite plane, tri/hex packing is the most space efficient (least wasted space), so I’d assume larger packings would tend towards that. But in smaller packings, the efficiency loss from the extra size needed to offset the circles outweighs the efficiency gained by hex packing.
7x7 is the boundary where those efficiency tradeoffs switch.
Sometimes you gotta bring up the classics, maybe someone still hasn’t seen it and will be one of today’s lucky 10,000. (:
