Work isn’t the only value to society - they can be a part of their community, do art, or anything else. Everyone wants to engage with the world to some extent, and thay is the value they add.

The question in my mind is how long can a universal income be put off as more gets automated? How many will fall through the cracks before something is done?

CachyOS

I’m moving at the moment. Linux Mint is a good stable Windows alternative, but I wanted to separate gaming from other things so I am dual booting. I have had luck with Pop_OS! before but recently had issues with a laptop WiFi adapter, had some issues getting Bazzite working, so ended up with CachyOS, which has been really slick and easy so far.

A nice thing with Linux is how easy it is to cycle through a few distros if you have your main files on a different drive or partition, since you don’t lose anything important when switching that way.

I have two and they have had endless connection issues. Also, the DAC in splitters is terrible, so this requires a USB-C splitter followed by an external DAC. It’s pretty unwieldy.

Also, on my previous phone without a jack the USB-C port started having charging issues after a couple of years due to wear. I’d be less annoyed about it if they had multiple USB-C ports, but a single port device is a bad idea in general.

Literally daily

I’ll note that I use LibreELEC as that handles HDR (I couldn’t get other Kodi installs working with HDR)

There are a few things about Kodi that might help:

1. There are themes thay completely change the UI, so it doesn’t have to be outdated. I use Arctic: Zephyr – Reloaded and it is much better, though I did change the noises to something else.
2. The Jellyfin plugin works pretty seamlessly if you set up the UI correctly. I only use Kodi for Jellyfin and it acts as if it’s all local files, other than the occasional syncing notice.

However, I feel you on Netflix, YouTube, etc. - it is not ideal. I ended up either logging into a separate partition or moving to a Chromecast for those things. I’d love an all-in-one solution but I haven’t managed to find one that I’d be happy with.
