Linux Mint devrait faire, si tu veux un peu plus de légèreté je prendrais l'édition XFCE. Facile à installer, et facile à utiliser. Sinon Ubuntu est aussi très facile à installer, comme tu as aimée l'interface d'Ubuntu.
Mint est basé sur Ubuntu alors la majorité de la documentation pour Ubuntu s'applique aussi, ainsi que sa base Debian. Les deux sont très bien documentés en français.
Surtout si tu ne veux plus Windows et pas de dual-boot, c'est pratiquement sélectionner le français, cliquer sur installer, répondre à quelques questions, suivant suivant terminé.
Linux n'est pas si difficile que ça, c'est surtout différent et pas vraiment familier. Imagine t'as jamais touché un Mac et tu obtiens un Mac, faut réapprendre comment faire certaines choses. Là où Linux devient compliqué c'est quand on commence à faire tourner les logiciels fait pour Windows dessus. Linux ne dis jamais non, y'a toujours moyen, mais ce moyen peut devenir très très compliqué.
I had more in mind like an AM3 platform with an FX CPU, or equivalent old Intel platform.
Really starts depending on what you run on that GPU, like it'll render Furmark just fine at full tilt but a modern open world game will probably struggle with asset pop-in and stutters because of both bandwidth and the CPU not issuing draw calls fast enough to keep up with the GPU.
If it's PCI Express (as opposed to regular PCI), then it pretty much should work.
What may happen however is that the slot will run at a slower speed, so if you put a 5090 with a Core 2 Duo you will struggle to keep the GPU fed with enough data to fully load up the GPU while your CPU is pegged at 100%.
It'll run though.
EDIT: You can also have issues with the legacy BIOS and your newer card not shipping a BIOS ROM to initialize it on boot, but once it gets into the OS it should activate. If you have an iGPU it should output there until the OS starts.
The performance is a good point. You can do the striped mirror with ZFS too and still get the advantages of ZFS.
I think you can do all of that through the Proxmox UI, but it shouldn't be too hard to do on the CLI either. You just make two mirror sets and you're good to go. ZFS should automatically distribute the load across the two mirrors.
I'd probably do RAID-Z with ZFS rather than RAID10, better space utilization and better error correction. Should be able to easily set that up in the Proxmox web UI.
Everything else sounds good. Don't worry too much about it, you will find things you wish you did differently regardless, that's part of the learning experience.
Scarcity and being poor are two different things: when you're poor, the grocery store is fully stocked, you just can't afford it. When resources are scarce, the store is empty or almost empty. We've seen it artificially with COVID when people panicked about toilet paper. People bought all the toilet paper, some even to resell at higher prices. People do crazy things when you don't know when you'll get more, especially food and essential supplies.
Being kind when you're poor is advantageous because other poor people will help you too when you need something. It's community, and you basically end up somewhat pooling and managing resources together. But it kind of only works at small scale, because humans build relationships. At large scale it breaks into groups, and groups form even bigger groups, and you have factions and big fights.
For capitalism, maybe it's not the best fitting word. I mean specifically people will barter and trade, someone will find a way to generate profits, hiring other people for profit and eventually slowly start hoarding all the resources just like regular corporate modern day. Even the concept of taxes is pretty old: you give me some extra grain and I'll protect your farm. Someone will find a way to position themselves as important and justify taking more than others. Get favors, bribes, make more kids to help maintain the family's power.
Ideally, socialism isn't just "the government provides for your needs", it goes the other way around too. The point is to come together, pool resources and combine our strenghts. There's no free handouts, you give and you receive.
You shouldn't have to enforce a birth rate cap if the population understand that they need to match society's capacity to expand and build the infrastructure. You'd announce the recommended number and danger number, and people would organically organize to on average make it, knowing their large family could lead to famine.
The main problem here is
If all basic needs were met (food, shelter, and medical)
That part does a lot of heavylifting there. People only play nice all together when society is working for them, people need to respect the society they live in. When scarcity happens, people become selfish, it's survival of the strongest, and everything falls off the rails and naturally goes to capitalism and hoarding resources. The population cannot lose faith in the system.
Maybe, just maybe, most of the big questions have been asked and answered already.
These days when I look something up it's been answered like 8 years ago, and the answer is still valid. And they aggressively mark questions as dupes, so people aren't opening too many repeat questions.
Isn't autoupdating software by definition an authorized backdoor by virtue of enabling it? The whole premise of CrowdStrike is continuous updates for attacks they see in the wild on other companies' systems.
Also if anything CrowdStrike did the opposite of a backdoor since everyone needed to find their BitLocker keys to get back in and clean this mess. It locked out the front and back door.
If you don't want to be monogamous, don't, just be polyamorous and date other polyamorous people. It's a really bad excuse for cheating when there's plenty of relationship arrangements where this isn't a problem. There's no need to deceive unwilling people and cheat on them when you can find partners who think the same as you and you don't need to cheat on in the first place. You're still dealing with other people with feelings on the end.
I'd have to really go out of my way to cheat on my wife when the only rule is to have safe sex (or be safe in general).
It wouldn't surprise me if it's interpreted similarly as "Microsoft Word proficiency" in recruiter speak, which really means, are you able to type a letter in it and hit the print button.
The most I would expect is maybe finding your way in a shell, to run a render on a beefy server over SSH or something like that. Some familiarity and the will to learn is probably good enough.
Tesseract and other clients kinda do:
