This is what happens when you try to run on Azure.

you cant. The best you can do is Qwen 3.6 27b with a 24gig ( or cumaltive gpus ) to get to 24gb vram. ala 3090, mac with 36gb ram, amd cards, halo strix amd, dgx spark etc. Lots of youtube videos out there.

Pretty terrible take if you compare tripping to a bad fever dream.

Great use case for solar shed/offgrid/cabin... I think people underestimate how much you can do with a solar shed , batteries, and the sorta reduced risk aspect of a shed catching fire vs a house. That being said its really easy to follow safety precautions. I cant wait to try this out.

I mean next on list is Escape From Tarkov.. the list goes on. its more than just Battlefield 6, theres tons of games that require a anti cheat solution for linux..

I made the same switch but all linux always feels slightly jank. I think Macos is the best premium decoupling from Winblows, but that comes with its own ecosystem lock in. I use all three equally daily and it just drives me insane. Lots of games on Windows ONLY work on windows due to anti cheat. Ie BattleField 6.... MacOs Gaming is non existent and any attempt with say wine/parallels or whatever brings you back to windows.... Linux / PopOS / Cosmic is so close to being there but the gaming restrictions takes you back to Windows.. I tried the whole WSL2 but lots of apps need so much tuning to work properly.. Ie android studio needs to be specially configured to use the WSL2 paths and it gets broken fast.

Kubernetes is not hard. Taking the time to read the manual seems to be hard for most people.

Do you think most enterprises even care about Big O outside of silicon valley? The answer is no.
