    From the same site:

    The Link between Cannabis and Psychosis in Teens Is Real

    Sam started high school as a fairly good student with several friends. Over time he began using cannabis daily. He took it a variety of ways, first with friends at parties and then, more and more often, alone. His parents noticed increasingly odd behavior: He blocked the camera on his laptop and placed cardboard over the windows in his room. He stopped showering. He began refusing to go to school. Against Sam’s will, his parents took him to a rehab facility for teens. During the three-week program he was fully abstinent from cannabis, but, disturbingly, his psychotic symptoms got worse rather than better; simply stopping wasn’t enough for Sam to recover.

    By the time his family came to my clinic, he had had persistent delusions for more than six months. Sam was fully convinced that the government was following him and constantly surveilling him.

    Yeah, but you can’t layer packages over MicroOS as easily. This is why Ublue has been gaining a lot of traction.

    One example: the same day that Fedora 42 was released, the whole set of Ublue distros automatically shipped their updated versions, Bazzite 42 was on my PC the same day as upstream was released.

    Insanely Fast.

    Something you should know… Ublue distros don’t include a live boot mode. I used 2 USB drives:

    I downloaded the image and flashed it using the Fedora Media Writer to USB 1, reset and booted into it, the installer loads up, and I installed it to USB 2.

    After that, I got into my BIOS settings and set it to boot to USB 2 as default.

    It worked perfectly. Plus, having it on separate drives makes it immune to issues related to dual booting.

    Hey, normal user here too. I game a lot, and do graphic design, so I need the latest drivers but not too bleeding edge as Arch.

    Every Universal Blue distro is freaking awesome. I run Bazzite on my main rig and Aurora on my work laptop, I wasn’t allowed to install Aurora on the laptop’s main drive because that would erase the Windows 11 kicense which the company owns, so I bought an M2 caddy and installed Aurora there. It runs better than Windows which is installed in the internal drive. It’s easier to work than on Windows because you are able to not care about ANYTHING. There’s no maintenance at all. Everytime you reboot it boots in the standard few seconds but it updates in the background, you don’t notice. The system is unbreakable. I freaking love it. I have owned Windows PC’s, Apple Macs, and this is by far the best experience I ever had with a PC.

    My wife (who’s more tech illiterate than average) and my 2 kids (4 and 6) both use my Aurora and Bazzite PCs, it’s that easy.

    Absolutely recommended.

    Just be warned, these are not standard fedora distros, they are atomic and immutable, you can’t mess with the system. You can only modify your user’s home dir. So:

    • GUI apps = Flatpak apps from the Discover app store
    • CLI apps = Brew install packagename
    • Portable apps = download any appimage drop it in Gear lever (included) and it gets added to the start menu

    If all of this is not enough, you can use Boxbuddy (included) to create in two clicks a container with any distro you want in it, and afterwards you can install a truckload of packages inside of it. You can use a Ubuntu container to use a .Deb installer or access the Arch AUR, and it’s gazillion of packages. They will feel like they were installed in your system but technically they are not. They can’t fuck up your system. They are jailed inside the container.

    So, if you fuck it up, you’ll fuck up the container, not your PC.

    Using boxbuddy I created a standard fedora container and installed an RPM to remove DRM from audiobooks so that I can listen to them on any app I want. It’s called Libation, and for some reason it’s the only app I wanted and not available on the Discover app store. All of this was like 8 clicks and no thinking, just brute clicking what looked like the right thing.

    If that’s still not enough, you can use a command that’s something like rpm-ostree something something to layer a package on top of your base image. Almost altering your PC but not really. I haven’t done this, as it’s not recommended / best practice and it’s supposedly the last resort.

    I have been running Bazzite for like 2 years or so and Aurora for like half a year or more. I tried Bluefin too, it’s great if you like GNOME, but KDE felt more performant on my laptop so I went with that. Ublue is just great.

    I hope this can answer some of your questions, if you want to know something more, just ask.

    The opportunity is ripe for a big EU company to partner with GrapheneOS to make the definitive phone for everyone and just flood the market. Bundle rebranded apps of DavX, Droidify, K9 Mail, and a few more and contribute back to their main projects both in code and monetarily.

    Add an easy onboarding process to let users chose an e-sim, email & cloud from EU service providers, and boom. You’ve got an awesome EU phone.
