  • A: complete non-issue.

    B: entirely separate fight from ev vs ice vehicles. xai running methane generators doesn’t fuel evs anyway, why bring that up like it’s relevant? you choosing ice over ev isn’t helping the problem, either. and even if the only way we had to make electricity at all was fossil fuels, evs would still be more effiicient because power plants run huge generators at stable rates for peak efficiencies for far more power per unit of fossil fuel even accounting for power conversion loss. you also save on transporting tanker trucks of gas vs electricity over power lines.

    C: good, but also yikes.

    D: okay, this one is valid. it just made no sense as you first wrote it. still a minor inconvenience especially considering how fewer moving parts means far less often maintenance in the first place. and it’s another area like charging stations that has rapidly become more and more of a non-issue as adoption of the tech spreads.

    i’ll give a pass on the insulting, as i regrettably went there first.







  • installing on bare metal means like the way windows 10 is installed right now; the main operating system installed on the hard drive directly in control of the hardware.

    backup any files you want to save from win10 to an external drive, usb, or cloud storage. download rufus or ventoy and follow either tool’s instructions on making a bootable usb with the mx linux iso on it.

    reboot and hit whatever key the bios screen gives you for boot menu, you may have to go to bios settings and set boot order there to let you boot from usb first before the hard drive if there is no boot menu or boot order key listed.

    now you’re in a liveusb mx linux environment. it won’t overwrite anything on the hard drive until you get to the step formatting the disk in the installer, so you can ignore the installer and poke around and try it out before commiting to erasing windows. shutting down and taking out the usb or changing the boot order back will let you boot back into windows.

    good luck!
