If they named it X12 this would have been so much smoother
Why not recommend Manjaro then? The benefits of Arch without all the drawbacks.
For beginners it’s probably best to give them an OS they can actually use and then have them find out stuff. Starting off with a troubleshooting experience before being able to use the OS is rather demotivating.
I see I was picturing a 25 pile stack of PC’s this makes a lot more sense thanks for the explanation.
I’m not sure if running multiple single SSD machines would provide much redundancy over a server with multiple PSU’s and drives. Sure the CPU or mobo could fail but the downtime would be less hassle than 25 old PC’s.
Of course there is a learning experience in more hardware but 25 PC’s does seem slightly overkill. I can imagine 3-5 max.
I’m probably looking at this from a homelab point of view who just wants to run stuff though, not really as the hobby being “setting up the PC’s themselves”.
Of course, but installing everything on multiple bare metal machines which take IP addresses, against just running it in VM’s which have IP addresses… It just takes a lot of extra power and doesn’t achieve much. Of course that can be said about any hobby, but I just want OP to know that there is no real reason to do this and I don’t understand so many people hyping it up.
I don’t understand why people want to use so many PC’s rather than just run multiple VM’s on a single server that has more cores.
In my experience they’re very solid. They also have thicker PD charging cables.
Linux developers are famous for how civil they handle their arguments. Especially that Linus Torvalds guy.
Having a custom distro that installs some extra frequently used software by default is no problem for me.
You need those metal ones with braided cable
They have some of the best USB cables (strongest, least breakable). Used to be cheap too until they started spending big bucks on marketing.
Sounds like a Linux problem to me
Least condescending Linux user
Maybe make it so it installs when you click it in the store?
The only reason he opened it in the terminal is because the store didn’t work in the first place and it didn’t give him any good explanation why.
It was hidden in a massive wall of text. Ain’t nobody got time for that
Man was installing Steam why does it even want to remove his desktop environment to begin with.
His fairphone review was super based. Refusing to pander to deluded fanboys that are willing to pay $500 for a buggy pile of junk where the touchscreen software is broken.
OP never watched the LTT Linux video
Edit: for people that also haven’t watched it: Linus tried to use Pop-OS for gaming. When he tried to install Steam it uninstalled his desktop-environment leaving him with only a terminal.
Take off the training wheels 😎
I can see the schematics!
