@Wild_Heather_860 in 2017 I was last checking this timeline and tooted about just that: switching to Mastodon and Linux. Then I switched to a Mac and somehow couldn't give up my Twitter habits and forgot about Mastodon πŸ₯²
@gcluley put into my profile to, and discovered that I'm now an official Social Media Influencer πŸ₯Έ

@HufflepuffBR tnx! I added my user to the group as described in neon1ks answer on this page: http://bit.ly/2psoi7k

I did the other things written there, but instead of nvidia-361, I added nvidia-381 everywhere, as that is the version I have installed.

Still, this happens:
$ optirun gedit
[ 61.006030] [WARN]Could not open configuration file: /etc/bumblebee/bumblebee.conf
[ 61.006050] [WARN]Using default configuration

If you know what to do please let me know.

@HufflepuffBR yeah well it's a bit more complicated than that. I have two video cards (one efficient, one for 3D) and apparently I need Bumblebee to switch between the two. And to switch the NVIDIA one off when I'm not using it. I installed bumblebee but it does not recognize something. Nevermind, I'm just testing and don't really need the NVIDIA card.
I should mention though that installing Ubuntu was fast and without problems. The most difficult part was shrinking my Windows partition. And of course I have unsolved video driver issues. Otherwise: wow!

My Linux security paradox:

Linux tutorials: do not enter a sudo command you do not understand.
Answer to any Linux question: enter this sudo command you do not understand.

@mcphail hehe alright, thanks!

@Tezcatlipoca thanks for checking! Be careful though: "This is an observational study, so no firm conclusions can be drawn about cause and effect[...]"

Also: "results of previous studies looking at this issue have been inconsistent"

I'm particularly sceptical regarding the relatively small size of the study. Out of not even 2k people, how many drink nearly a liter coffee per day?!

The study I found only had old Italians in it.

@Tezcatlipoca does drinking coffee once a week or so count as moderate & regular? That would give all the benefits and none of the drawbacks!
