Garuda Linux vs Zorin OS

Dec 14

Posted by Etienne Charland in Conscious Ressources

I recently talked about why migrate to Linux. There are many distros out there, and choosing the right one can be difficult. Here are some advice that will help you get started if you choose to go that route.

First, don’t be intimidated by all the distros. Linux as a whole is a set of components plugged together. Linux distros are essentially configuration presets. You can make any distro look like any other distro by changing its components and configuration.

That being said, there are two major branches of Linux distros: Ubuntu-based and Arch-based. The difference is that Ubuntu has a static update cycle, meaning less frequent and more stable updates, whereas Arch has a rolling update cycle, meaning continual daily updates and less stability.

Power-users often preach Arch distros like a religion. What you need to know is that Arch-based systems can break down 4 times per year and require manual intervention to fix. You often can find the solutions with a quick search online and type the commands in the shell. If you’re not comfortable with that, then perhaps Ubuntu-based is best for you. One power-user had installed Garuda (Arch-based) on his wife’s laptop and recommended me NOT to do that.

Here’s a review of Windows 11 from the perspective of a Linux user.

The most popular Ubuntu-based distros are Ubuntu, Pop! OS and Linux Mint, whereas the most popular Arch-based distro is Manjaro. After doing plenty of research, there are newer fast-running contestants in the horizon that have my personal …Read More

Humanitarian Project in Pakistan

Dec 12

Posted by Etienne Charland in Conscious Ressources

Many of you guys greatly helped me last year when we went through a very difficult period. We couldn’t travel internationally but could do what needed to be done around our area in Mexico. I’m now back on my feet, and am passing on the donations to others who really need it. I’ve been supporting this humanitarian project in Pakistan for a while now. I’m personally donating $300 per month to them, to help educate children living in total poverty, and to help widow women get out of slavery. Even small donations make a huge difference for these people.

Here’s a video explaining the project and the situation over there.

If you would like to donate to this mission, send your donations here. I will receive funds in Canada and forward everything to Pakistan.

Single donations will be great to help these children celebrate Christmas that they could never celebrate before. What they really need, however, is recurring donations. $20 per month will be more useful than a single donation of $100, and with 25 donations of $20 per month, plus the $300 per month I’m sending, he will be able to cover his base monthly expenses.

With Open Collective, finances will be transparent. He can list what …Read More

The Future of Windows, and Why Migrate to Linux

Nov 30

Posted by Etienne Charland in Conscious Ressources

Last week, I wrote about the option of migrating to Linux instead of Windows 11. One person already confirmed having made the switch to Korin OS. It’s going to double in popularity very soon, and jump to 15%+ popularity in about 3 years. What is really going to happen then?

Look at how centralized platforms like Facebook and YouTube have radicalized themselves lately, to have better control over the flow of information. Windows has remained pretty neutral in all this; as a data collection engine.

It’s however only a matter of time until Windows joins the party and radicalizes itself. Once they get desperate enough, you’ll see gradual changes in Windows, and you’ll have no control over how it updates itself and how your computer is going to behave.

Here’s what I see. For now, it’s only collecting data. Eventually, it’s going to assist you with your daily tasks using AI. From there, its AI engine is going to interfere into your daily work. For example, if you want to write an article that is not appropriate like this one, the AI will step in to suggest corrections and facts to help you change your mind. That’s where many will draw the line and jump ship.

With a 15%+ Linux market share, what will it look like for my subscribers and followers?

– Now: 2.1% Linux usage
– 1 year: 4.2%
– 2 years: 8.6%
– 3 years: 24.8%
– 4 years: 53.6%
– 5 years: 55.8%
– 10 years: 72.8%

MacOS will grow too but maybe with 50% growth.

My thought: if we’re …Read More

Ethernal Movie May Tell the Truth?

Nov 30

Posted by Etienne Charland in Conscious Ressources

First, the Juggernaut Attunements have been quite a roller-coaster! The curious thing is that the situation of each person is drastically different from one another. I had to skip one for now because he’s in a Matrix-type incubator and I can’t access his energy. Two were in some kind of metal cage. One had is own super dark shadow sabotaging him below ground. One has a crazy amount of portals/timelines fragmentation. One is in a black octopuses’ nest. I’m working on the 12th attunement, then have one last order after, then I’ll go back to the one I had to skip. Plus there’s been major energetic collapses and landslides, had to take a break for a few days. I also drew a lot of attention and 22 physical people(!) in 5 different groups came into my neighbourhood to pay me a visit, plus many energetic entities behind them. They’re gone. I’ll be able to go through more attunements soon so get your Juggernaut Attunement now to reserve your spot.

Now, I just saw the movie Ethernals in cinema, and I’m in shock. I measure… 92.6% accuracy on that movie!? It’s just some crazy far-out science-fiction… I woke up when I saw the volcano that reminded me of La Palma eruption in Spain, and the movie was produced before the volcano came up. “Superman” reminds me of Metatron, and the giant robot reminds me of the AI Gods.

A few days ago, I prayed God to allow me to understand Metatron’s perspective, whom …Read More

Migrating to Windows 11… or Linux?

Nov 21

Posted by Etienne Charland in Conscious Ressources

This is a different topic than usual, but I always want to be on top of what’s coming. Windows 11 is coming out. Who is excited about it?

The Linux community.

Let me muscle-test something. Desktop and laptop usage of Linux over time:
– Now: 1.75% (including dual-boot)
– 1 year: 2.65%
– 2 years: 3.82% or 15.2% (???)
– 3 years: 15.6% or 18.3%
– 4 years: 16.2% or 19.7%
– 5 years: 18.2% or 23.6%

There are still variable timelines, but one thing is clear: Linux will see exponential growth.

I did some initial testing of Linux and am considering switching. I tried Korin OS 16 which looks great for Windows users. Some issues though:

– Steam and Wine display way too small

– For .NET programming, JetBrains Rider can replace Visual Studio and they offer free Open Source license; but their license is a pain to quality for, with no guarantee that you’ll quality for renewal next year. I suggested them to offer a Community edition; let’s see whether they take the feedback.

– Big problem: my own .NET applications don’t work, including the Powerliminals Player and 432hz Player that I use all the time. I’m currently working on porting those to be cross-platform.

As for games, Linux now supports most Windows games using Proton and Lutris, but Fortnite won’t work so I can’t migrate my daughter’s laptop.

Linux is still difficult for non-geeks to use, and I expect rapid evolution over the coming years as their user-base grows from “privacy advocates” to people who want some kind of decisions about their …Read More
