Gun Zip - you literally shoot the gz file and it explodes like a piñata of files all over the dir you gun zipped it in.

This just means you’re future proofed

Even today, some people are still looking for the Any key

I prefer to make MATE look more like Windows, with the taskbar on the bottom… otherwise, I leave the Applications Launcher Menu as is.

Have fun with TWM I guess

A unifi power strip on a unifi network so you can control the power switch, and setting the motherboard to auto turn on after power failure. Though this is the nuclear option for restarting the system. Maybe while you’re at it, diagnose why it keeps hanging up on you.

but to get [other tool] working with my system, I need an exact version of [library] which breaks about a dozen other tools and libs, and symlinking the [library].so file in the hopes it will work breaks [this one particularly important tool] and then I’m now spending the weekend trying to hunt down a way to compile a custom fix for that to make all the others work…

Every time I boot to linux to test something

Pokemon Arch Edition is the third release in the series

I would like MS Office to run in Linux… and not have to vomit even more money to Crossover to get it to work.

And when you play the “LibreOffice” card, I play the “Word doc with custom layout tables” trap card!

And if you’re allergic to buying used, there’s always the mini computers.

It does affect LAN speed, too. Unless you have your high-bandwidth devices running on a gigabit switch to LAN to eachother at good speeds.

It being a 100 Mbps (“Fast” Ethernet) switched router, it’s really only useful for devices that don’t need or use more than 100 Mbps network speed, so like PoE IoT devices perhaps.

What’s actually happening here is Windows is setting its bootloader first in your EFI when it gets updated. Linux isn’t gone, you just have to press the “boot another drive” button and boot to it, or go into your EFI setup and switch the bootloader back to the Linux one.

Linuxes do the same thing when updating their bootloader.

Note for the Ackshually crowd: If you’re still booting MBR (which comes with the partition eating risk on dual boots) you have a system that is older than Windows 8 - 11+ years old, so eating the MBR is something you’ll have to deal with unconventionally, as all modern systems, OS, and hardware expect you to be using EFI.
