  • I’ve been wearing glasses since I was 12, and I’ve had a car and drivers license for decades.
    Why do you keep trusting your own mistaken logic over actual statistics based on real life? Why don’t you look it up for yourself?
    You are the one that sounds like you are not wearing glasses, I’ve never heard anyone using glasses having similar fears you have.
    Your fear is paranoid and delusional. Let’s hear it, which eyeball was taken out by the glasses on who?
    My guess is it never happened, because glasses are designed in a way that makes it practically impossible to happen.
    I’ve been in numerous accidents wearing glasses, on bicycle, kayaking and even a pretty serious one in a car once, where my entire body hurt for weeks, so it was a pain to lie down even on a super soft mattress. I’ve never been hurt by my glasses, I’ve only had to replace them sometimes, which is of course annoying and expensive. And I’ve also never heard about either friends or family or statistics that say there’s an actual problem wearing glasses in accidents.











  • Nvidia drivers do not always play nice with the kernel, and can disrupt high end audio use. If you use Linux you should use an AMD or Intel GPU.
    My wife used to use Nvidia, because it worked better for some games, but she finally ended up getting pissed with the proprietary Nvidia drivers, and switched to AMD about a year ago. And now all her games that used to work with Nvidia drivers also work with AMD.
    AFAIK Debian support Nvidia proprietary drivers reasonably well today, but for older Nvidia cards you may be out of luck, they can be a real shitshow to get to work if you want to use the proprietary driver.
    Best option is to just stop using Nvidia on Linux!





  • My wife uses Debian and is very happy with it.
    She uses it both for gaming and studio recordings with Ardour.

    Debian has for decades been among the most respected distros in the Linux world, and it still is.
    If you want something solid, Debian should be your first choice.

    Edit PS:
    She also uses it for programming occasionally. Debian is an excellent platform for “coding” with its huge repositories.
    But most Linux distros are very good for programming, and will have all the common necessary tools readily available.
