Also people seem to completely ignore the amount of re-learning I'd need to do to switch. I'm not really a power user of Windows, but part of the reason it runs pretty smoothly for me is that I have a decade plus of knowledge of common failure points. You sort of get an intuition about things after awhile that I don't have on a different OS. Little issues the might result in a couple of days of troubleshooting are just solved immediately because I have hunches on what the issue is.

Meanwhile I'm struggling on my steamdeck to deal with minor problems because I'm very unfamiliar with the setup. It's not insurmountable, but it's a barrier to entry that I'm not willing to undertake just yet.

Hallucinations aside, if you use it with skepticism, ChatGPT can be great at walking you through stuff and helping you understand why things work the way they do. I'm using it like a teacher to get better at Python and it's great.

Does ChatGPT still require giving your phone number to sign up? Because I noped out when it asked me for that shit.

I just use Google one click sign in, no phone number required.
