It’s frustrating enough to make you lay colored eggs 🤔

I learned how to make a dual boot machine first.

My friend wanted to get me to install it, but he had a 2nd machine to run Windows on. So we figured out how to dual boot.

And then we learned how to fix windows boot issues 😮‍💨

We mostly did it for the challenge. Those Linux Magazine CDs with new distros and software were a monthly challenge of “How can I install this and also not destroy my ability to play Diablo?”

I definitely have lost at least one install to getting stuck in vim, flailing the keyboard and writing garbage data into a critical config file before rebooting.

Modern Linux is amazing in comparison, you can use it for essentially any task and it still has a capacity for customization that is astonishing.

The early days were interesting if you like getting lost in the terminal and figuring things out without a search engine. Lots of trial and error, finding documentation, reading documentation, etc.

It was interesting, but be glad you have access to modern Linux. There’s more to explore, better documentation, and the capabilities that you can pull in are still astonishing.

OP is a newbie and is externalizing his lack of knowledge.

A 747 would seem like a death trap if a toddler were given control but there, as here, it isn’t the plane that’s the problem.

Coming from Windows, Linux (especially when only talking about GUI environments) seems to not tell you anything about your problems. Eventually you learn how to find the relevant logs and the problems seem less arbitrary.

The most annoying thing about the Linux community is dealing with non-Linux users who learned everything they know about Linux from social media memes.

He tweeted once and is therefore canceled because social media doesn’t understand nuance or context

It’s literally a nothing situation that social media, in its drive to find outrage in every single thing, has blown completely out of proportion.

New Nichole just dropped

Social media users love to clutch their pearls.

Treating it like it’s exploitative let’s them get their little dose of outrage, it doesn’t matter if it matches reality or not.

Despite the fact that, as you pointed out, to do so often requires that they assume some pretty offensive things (like, “a 19-20 year old is only good for sex and housework”).

It’s like being a kid again 🤩

Uh, no thanks we’ve all already got one

A magnet that was strong enough to keep the hamster in place would be applying enough pressure to the flesh between the magnet and cage to destroy the tissue, due to lack of circulation, over 3 days.

If this was even remotely true the hamster would be seriously injured and severely dehydrated, not walking around normally. This isn’t even considering the damage that it would do to itself while trying to escape.

It’s a fake story

And now we move on to the second item on the agenda: Advanced Protection against Shrubbery and Why We Need It

to prevent exactly this scenario

I’d love to be in the group that brainstormed this exact scenario

Por que no los dos

Their contributions are welcome and appreciated.

But, given Microsoft’s history, any suggestions from them should be treated with skepticism.

Not according to my, completely malware free, waybar-git-real!

Gotta get on your grind, as the kids say these days

Arch and Mint are the two most-used distros (Arch with double the Mint users) behind SteamOS(Steamdeck).

Installing Arch from the install medium is daunting for people so I’d recommend EndeavourOS. It’s Arch but using a graphical installer and sane defaults for a desktop PC.

It seems intimidating because there’s a lot of new terms and workflows seem to always involve the terminal. Learn to love the power of the terminal, don’t be one of those “I use Linux but am scared of terminal commands” people.

If you’ve figured how to use wine then you’re capable of searching your way to any solution I’m Arch (it’s probably on the Wiki).

It’s 2024, if you’re not exploiting CI systems to inject your malware into the dependency chain for large open source projects, what even are you doing with your life?
