Not very easily: Linux quite deliberately does not have any stable internal driver interface, so any such compatibility layer would have a very fast moving target to keep up with.
This book has been a godsend for my chronic pain problems, including, somewhat surprisingly, neurological stuff: https://www.amazon.com/Trigger-Point-Therapy-Workbook-Self-T... (I suggest looking up "whiplash" in the index.) As weird as it sounds, when I massage the muscles around my head and neck, I get noticeable cognitive changes in the minutes and days that follow.
>Debian has been an extremely reliable distro that i've used in a number of scenarios and has largely avoided the problems that Ubuntu or even CentOS (RIP) have run into.
I actually try to write down some of the more annoying instances of software breaking on me (or not being nice to use) in another part of my blog: https://blog.kronis.dev/everything%20is%20broken
I'm afraid that i don't have an article about those distros in particular, but some of the issues that i've run into over the years:
- Ubuntu introduced snaps as an alternate way of packaging software, however in practice this sometimes means that certain packages migrate over to snaps only
- not only is this challenging from the perspective of wanting to pin specific versions of packages to be used, but also sometimes presents problems in regards to how the software runs and how it uses the file system
- in regards to server software that shouldn't matter too much, but when you're trying to install a browser for something like automation (say, Selenium), i've found that the count of moving parts is directly proportional to the chances of things breaking (e.g. Java --> Selenium library --> Gecko webdriver --> local browser and how it's installed --> the actual site that you want to test)
- Debian is also known for including slightly older (and sometimes better tested) software in its releases, so even though they will usually be behind Ubuntu, they can be good for when you want things to "just work" (e.g. how many pick CentOS over Fedora for particular setups)
- as for CentOS, i rather enjoyed its longer life cycle, however towards the end of its life, i found some packages breaking without clear reasons
- for example, a regular update once ruined my install of xrdp, so i could no longer graphically connect to the server (needed it for a niche use case)
- now, this is perhaps more of a nitpick rather than an outright problem, but there's a divide between DEB and RPM distros and how they do things, for example, how Apache2/httpd has both different names and different configurations on those distros, for seemingly no good reason
- also, depending on what you're doing, SELinux can have missing policies and cause issues with the software you're trying to run (there was this kerfuffle a few years ago about Docker (maybe Swarm) not playing nicely with the firewall on CentOS; i still remember that because someone actually suggested turning it off!)
That's not to say that Debian is blameless either, i've had some things go wrong with it as well, for example:
- the worst problem by far was GRUB breaking and preventing startup after an unattended update: https://blog.kronis.dev/everything%20is%20broken/debian-and-grub-are-broken
- Debian's older software also meant that for a while Ubuntu was a better choice for using WireGuard: https://blog.kronis.dev/tutorials/how-to-publicly-access-your-homelab-behind-nat
Of course, normally you'll want to pick whatever you're the most comfortable with, i'd say that apart from the snaps, Ubuntu LTS seems superior to Debian in some ways, since Debian's LTS offering isn't entirely official: https://wiki.debian.org/LTS
- Keep your Beta as high as possible, you want to be as diversified as possible heading into a difficult environment
- Cash is trash
- Value will accrue to real assets and hard money. Real estate, equities with consistent cash flows and strong books, commodities, crypto, land, natural resources. These kinds of things
There are plenty of videos of him on youtube going deeper on all of these topics
On average countries has a trade balance of 0, it means that a country buys as much goods and services as it sells. USA is buying more and more goods and services without selling more, as you can see in that graph, and that has been going on for 50 years now. The correction would be that USA no longer can import goods without paying anything back, stopping all the shipment problems you have now since people no longer want to ship goods to USA. That would be a trillion worth less of raw imports per year according to the current deficit.
Ray Dalio, billionaire founder of Bridgewater, has recently written a book "Principles for Dealing with the Changing World Order" where he advocates systemic change, including effective government action to address inequality.
Ray Dalio is one of the exceptions that prove the rule, and even then, he's deeply committed to the fundamental "bestness" of capitalism even if he thinks it needs some government tweaking around the edges.
Heavily lopsided upside risk means they are never in danger of personal financial calamity. Nicholas M. Maounis looks like he is doing just fine even though he seems to have lost enough money for a hundred lifetimes.
All the incentives are aligned to go big on a theory and talk it up, and then if you are wrong just dust yourself off and try again- all the while cashing your paycheques.
