Just pick a distro. It sounds like you want to learn. I suggest arch. It does the least for you, is the least opinionated, but also has by far the best documentation (arch wiki is the de facto linux documentation).

The difference between the distros is otherwise simply what package management tool they use, and what packages are in their repository. Nothing else is different that’s of any importance.

For 2 million in Vancouver you’re living in a cardboard box

How they fixed it…

Wtf? Usb-c charging is the best thing that’s happened to laptops this decade. You’re insane to want to go back to the bad times.

That’s the whole point of an LTS distro. And it’s why non-rolling distros for desktop OSes make no sense

This is a perfectly civil question that is intended to make the author think about what they’re reading in the future, rather than spoon feed pure information

Why would having the build files exist suggest the package exists?

The backslash is escaping the space, and the forward slash is just how tab complete works, because it’s a directory, and you might be wanting to add more to go further down the directory tree

I’m guessing you don’t mean commits that actually bring updates from a different branch in?

No, fast-forward merges only

These are mostly terrible. Shells have built in history search

Those don’t necessarily mean they’re storing in plain text.
