I use jan-beta GUI, you can use locally any model that supports tool calling like qwen3-30B or jan-nano. You can download and install MCP servers (from, say, mcp.so) that serve different tools for the model to use, like web search, deep research, web scrapping, download or summarize videos, etc there are hundreds of MCP servers for different use cases.

Both make and cmake are ignoring the j option and some of the software compiled with them also run in a single thread when they shouldn’t, it seems a system problem, could it be an env variable?

HW are an unnecesary third party risk in my opinion and a waste of money. Just grab an old phone and use this guide to turn it into a cold storage. Tldr: install a software wallet and never connect the phone to the internet again and use QR codes to sign transactions using the camera. Super practical, cheap, truly air gapped and doesn’t call attention like a hardware wallet.

I’ve been using Debian with KDE Plasma for over a decade and I can count the crashes with the fingers of one hand.

yeah, both have same the option, -j N lets you execute the compiling with N parallel jobs. In the case of make using -j without arguments it compiles without setting a limit for parallel jobs.

Here you can find hardware for linux that requires no proprietary driver or firmware, in your case is ASUS BT400. I was in the same situation as yours so I bought it and it works.
