Arch is absolutely divine with its documentation. There is a bit of a “you must be this tall to ride” with them though. Like the tiny [AUR] link. That’s not really well explained, and is even more opaque if you follow the link.

Because Fedora is open source only to the point of it being pathological. If there isn’t am open source driver most time you’re just boned. Someone new is going to have a tough time with it, and the community is on average a very “lol rtfm” bunch. Not as bad as Arch, but that’s not saying much.

Meanwhile, despite the problems around Ubuntu, Debian communities are much more understanding and helpful. Mint even with old packages is going to be an easier time for a newbie. Certainly a newbie unfamiliar with the way entirely too much of the FOSS community is.

Sorry, that will forever be Did Not Finish for me. 😣

Something something don’t cite the old magics something something I was there when it was written…

Right, but you have no way of telling what version of tar that bomb is running

Joke’s on you, .tar isn’t compression

That’s still kinda new. It didn’t always do that.

You may not, but I need it. Data anxiety is real.

Free for now. If they wanted to let you keep using it for free they would have said so in the notices.

If you keep using it they’ll keep thinking you’re a possible income source.

Right?

That guy better watch out, Steve Harvey is in the woods with him!

For “did not finish”, I guess

Spoiler: it was greed.

I mean, this isn’t any different for Windows or macos. The difference is the culture around the kernel.

With Linux there are easily orders of magnitude more eyeballs on it than the others combined. And fixes are something anyone with a desire to do so can apply. You don’t have to wait for a fix to be packaged and delivered.

Nah, neo would absolutely have been a slackware user.

For limited values of decent…

There are some, probably. But any exodus will be slow. Xz isn’t useless because it was dangerous once.

This sounds just like something Jia Tan might say…

Mostly in construction. Robertson was a Canadian, and you see them a lot in Canada. In the US largely they use Phillips or something that looks like Phillips and a six-lobed star shape.

I like Robertson because the bits are much less fragile, and very inexpensive. They’re also much less likely to strip out a screw with a square hole than something that needs little pieces of metal sticking into the bit hole.

I came here to show love for Robertson, but it looks like I didn’t need to. You guys are the best. 😁
