One thing AI has taught me is that it’s not really about the specific move (unless it’s life and death), but about direction. Almost always playing roughly in the correct direction results in +/- 2 point changes at best, whereas wrong direction, even if it’s locally good can easily cost you 5-10 points. It really helped me stop fussing over the “correct sequence”/joseki/fuseki and focus on mistakes that were actually costing me the games.

For training my intuition I find replaying/memorizing pro games is still far more effective, since the moves follow human reasoning and shapes. AI seems to work best as a review tool for finding/exploring mistakes.

The best way to tune the algorithm on Youtube is to aggressively prune your watch/search history.
Even just one “stereotypical” video can cause your recommendations to go to shit.

Is there anything the rest of us can do to cultivate such a mindset?

For cardio it’s basically “go slow”. The main source of discomfort is the exertion.
An easy long run with good music is quite meditative and enjoyable.
When your legs hurt and you’re wheezing your lungs out, not so much.

Running, not so much because my calves tend to seize up and it gets a little painful

This is often a form and/or a shoe type issue.

Doing it yourself is fine as an educational exercise for newbies, but skilled linux users generally have better things to do than to do the setup by hand for the nth time. On the other hand the “vanilla”/bleeding-edge approach of Arch makes it one of the best bases for derivative distros available, so basing your distro on it is a no-brainer for many.

“Manjaro is not stable because it ensures no breaking updates are pushed to users” is such a weird statement to make.

It’s never been customary to adhere to KISS in Linux. This whole explanation reads like it came out of a game of Chinese whispers.

does not comply with the principle of K.I.S.S. One application should solve one task and can be replaced

That’s not KISS, but the UNIX principle. And even that part is wrong, as in traditional UNIXes applications were certainly not replaceable.

Manjaro ended my distro hopping itch +10 years ago. I occasionally test distros in VM, but nothing has made me want to switch so far.

Yes. You use a GM emulator like Mythic. A GM emulator is basically a bunch of random tables you use to help you answer questions you’d normally ask the GM.

The features themselves are very useful for basically any user. Whether they are worth the non-standardness and issues that come with it is another question.

It’s been around for like a decade, but was recently make more approachable by offering a graphical installer.

Oh boy, you’re going to be in for a disappointment
