Lefty here. For the most part I've taken to right when it comes to things like computer mice for example. I've tried playing guitar right handed and for the life of me I have zero coordination with it. In my personal experience there's just certain things I that I do better with my right and vice versa. Tldr Chose left cause I never got good enough to play right even though I really tried to.

For the life of me can't remember the scores I was getting on gpt4all. But given that you tried it I'm guessing you'll most likely take a liking to LM studio or perhaps jan.ai. both GUI tools. If the lack open source bothers you go for Jan.ai, if not then go LM studio. LM studio in particular allows for full and partial GPU offloading. So if you have a semi capable but not quite enough vram on it you can load part of the model on the GPU to speed up inference. As a side note pure CPU on my old ryzen 1600 I was looking at 6/it. Which isn't all that much but glass half full its still faster than the average typing speed and takes the load off of having to think about how to creatively word things

The issue here isn't so much Google. Just people being stupid and not taking the time to learn how to secure something

Ironically there is in fact a link. The Ubuntu distro name is based on one of Africa's many languages. It translates to "humanity to others" . The Ubuntu distros founder "Mark shuttleworth is from South Africa and so is Desmond Tutu " (Person mentioned on the book cover). I do however regret to inform you that Desmond Tutu does not actually Arch btw

Asks a question and absorbs none of the information given. No point in further discussion

There's a lot of things it affects. But lets stick with the self serving perspective of your question "How does this affect* me buying discounted games". You personally? Not much, the impact is relatively tame... for now. An aspect that you failing to consider is that devs could raise price of games to offset the cost of the Unity price model change. Sure you could wait for a discount. Safe to say we all appreciate a good discount every now and again. But I encourage you think about that "one" game on your wishlist "If it was just 20% less then I would buy it" But that 20% doesn't end up happening because of the fact that even during this hypothetical sale the devs are still trying to offset the Unity cost. Additionally you failing to consider is that Unity is an incredibly popular starting point for many new devs because of the tooling it has available, many popular titles were started by these indie devs. Games that wouldn't ever have been created because those people wouldn't have ever gotten started if they didn't use Unity.

Newsflash the Unity drama as a whole still affects the PC market

Worth mentioning to those unfamiliar with e/os is it comes with a built in app store "app lounge" that also has access to play store apps so you don't even need to go to the effort of installing aurora. One less thing you have to do

I can't personally speak on the banking side. e/os has micro g implemented now, and on my device it passes the safety checks associated with it. To be fair though I can't give a full endorsement for how well micro g works as a whole (I'm not logged in) In general I've shifted to FOSS apps so my sample size for google play services reliant apps is limited but the one's I have used, open fine without annoying pop up errors.

As someone that happens to using e/os on a phone with an unofficial device. You are technically correct. They offer custom Roms for a variety of devices that you can install however they also have their own range of devices which admittedly is lack luster in terms of price to performance. From what I gather those devices try to follow in the footsteps of the Fairphone but with all the growing pains of a startup... I like the os. they offer cloud services as an addon that you can pay for which is based on nextcloud. The integration with the cloud services in surprisingly deep. Coming back to the fact that its based on nextcloud you also have the option to self host (which I recommend) and still benefit from the tight integration and that aspect alone is a major reason why I'm still using it. Gallery, notes,backups,cloud storage. All the Google like service's built in but without the Google
