Chatgpt is not one model! Unless you manually specify to use a particular model your question can be routed to different models depending on what it guesses would be most appropriate for your question.

Tsoding has been live streaming the development of a software renderer as of late: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=maSIQg8IFRI

OpenGL is still be the best for compatibility in my opinion. I have been able to get my software using OpenGL to run on Linux, Windows, old/new phones, Intel integrated graphics and Nvidia. Unless you have very specific requirements it does everything you need and with a little care, plenty fast.

Does anyone have any experience with Keet as an alternative?

The secret for a reasonable linux distro for most people is LTS Kernel + Latest packages. Most people want the latest versions of whatever software they use that will often include new features and lots bugfixes. The only time you really need a new kernel is for to support cutting edge hardware.

Many of the Arch or Fedora derivatives fit this paradigm well.

Not only has Nvidia Linux support been first rate for decades now, but their FreeBSD support is also great. The secret has been that they run the same driver on all platforms with just a shim to interface with the different kernels.

There are excellent tutorials on youtube. Spending a couple of hours doing these will allow you to hit the ground running.

FreeCad is rapidly evolving and quite a few tutorials are already using the v1.1 dev builds. Pay attention to the version used in tutorials as you can run into trouble following them if you are on an older release.

Its funny how little US citizens know about this, meanwhile in the rest of the world we have been paying import duties our entire lives. When an item is posted abroad forms have to be filled detailing the sender, the nature of the goods and the value. Some sellers willl bend the law for you and decalre the value of the goods to be lower than what you actually paid if you ask nicely. The main danger being that if the parcel is lost the sender will lose out on any insurance claim.

The other option is to prepay tarrifs during the purchase of an item. Fedex and DHL usually offer this service which includes epedited customs clearance.

Ran these through gpt5 and 4o. 4o > gpt5

Not quite like Blender, but Openbrush is worth trying.

Not ever having to deal with partitions and instead using data sets each of which can have their own properties such as compression, size quota, encryption etc is another benefit. Also using zfsbootmenu instead of grub enables booting from different datasets or snapshots as well as mounting and fixing data sets all from the bootloader!

Nvidia had best in class support for linux and freebsd as a result of essentialy using the same driver across all three operaating systems. If you wanted good opengl support they were the only choice 20 years ago! Valve not supporting nvidia gpus at the moment has more to do with SteamOS on ly shipping on the steam deck which uses AMD hardware.

Nvidia has had support for linux since 1999!

What sources do suggest as superior?

I find the disdain for LLM's somewhat troubling when they they are easily in the top 1% of commenters on most subjects.

One of the reasons I still frequent this forum is to countertrade the espoused opinions. Meta@100 was such an easy buy, Everyone was talking as if they were going out of business because they did not like the idea of the metaverse. A quick look at their earnings said that was utter nonsesnse. So bizarre to see all jounalists and many users here to attribute the turn around to them pivoting to AI when that was not at all what the CEO was saying during that time. Always look for primary sources, opinions are funny.

At least 95% of accounts I follow are premium subscribers. The price is very reasonable if you consider the access to their Grok AI as useful.

Most people are on X.

"Our gyrotron-powered drilling platform vaporizes boreholes through rock and provides access to deep geothermal heat without complex downhole equipment.

Based on breakthrough fusion research and well-established drilling practices, we are developing a radical new approach to ultra-deep drilling."

This company looks promising in the geothermal space. They are looking to be able to create 10km boreholes in 100 days. This would make geothermal viable anywhere in the world. Bonus points if you create the borehole next to an existing coal plant to use the existing turbine and infrastructure.

I find this thinking difficult to reconcile. When I setup up my workstation it does usually take me half a day to sort out an encrypted rootfs mirrored volume with zfsbootmenu + linux, but after that its all set for the next decade. A small price for the peace of mind it affords.

Best option to date: https://github.com/zbm-dev/zfsbootmenu

A shame most distro's installers don't support it natively, but an encrypted rootfs on ZFS is great once you get it setup.
