I use it every day. On my MacBook running MacOS 😬

Seriously though, I tried putting FreeBSD on my Linux laptop a few years ago and it was not a fun time. Reminded me a lot of running Linux on desktop in the 2000s when I first discovered Linux.

I’m rooting for them though. I like the idea of keeping development and documentation so tightly integrated and maintained by a single dedicated company.

I just picked up the latest version of “Copying and Pasting”. This edition discusses copying and pasting from various AIs. Looking forward to digging in

I love watching all the people who cheered for Ted Cruz when he talked about bombing the middle east so much that the “sand might glow” who are now telling us that defending the sovereignty of our allies against a power aggressive to both of us is “inappropriate”.

The best investments Russia ever made has been propping up the Republican party since at least the 90s. None of the “peaceful freedom loving traditional conservatives” of today can bring themselves to criticize this aggressive violent authoritarian power that is against everything they claim to believe in. How strange.

The excuses are funny though keep em coming! Laughing at morons who think they’re clever enough to fool anyone is always good fun.

So Linux doesn’t work for your use case or you’re not interested in the benefits vs the extra time and effort. So what? Us “old fogies” are enjoying it fine.

Ctrl+a - go to beginning of line (alpha? I dunno)

ctrl+e - go to (e)nd of the line

alt+f - (f)orward one word

alt+b - (b)ack one word

You might already know these but no one else has posted them on this thread yet. I work in both Linux and Mac a lot and this works for them. No idea about Windows I’m no longer forced to use it at work 🙂

“Never thought I’d find myself fighting alongside fucking Oracle”

“How about fighting alongside a friend?”

…n-no “Fucking Oracle” is fine let’s not get ahead of ourselves

Tl;dr it’s likely that some of your hardware isn’t well supported in Linux or have vendors downright hostile to open source (fuck you, Broadcom and Nvidia) and causes you weird issues that almost always get fixed by the community but may not always work “out of the box”

I’ve been in Linux since 2008 and have asked this question in many ways over the years. To get a real answer I’d dig more into the errors you’re encountering. I think that a lot of the “simple fixes” you mention are simply options that some hardware configurations need and some don’t.

Flatpak and Linux in general deal with the same huge task as Windows, which is “support any hardware configuration with one universal solution”. While Windows is given every advantages by cooperative hardware vendors releasing official drivers, Linux is mostly supported by open source reverse engineered drivers.

This means that no “universal” system is likely to work all the time in every case, but that’s ok because it’s all open source and the community finds a way.

You mentioned themes and some graphical packages, do you have an Nvidia GPU? I never had anything but trouble on Linux with them.

Can’t get hacked if all your services are down because you can’t get those cocksuckingmothershitbitchingassbastard routing tables right 🤯

I laughed but I dunno about you guys but I don’t publicly self host anything. If you can’t auth via ssh or VPN then you’re not accessing a damn thing from my home network. I’ve got multiple routers that I could set up some isolation with but it’s just too close to home.

That Apache (restaurant) server can be pretty dangerous if you make him mad.
