Is it? I wouldn’t know, never checked it out. Then I gave the wrong example. I’m still reading quite regularly that some platforms have general profanity filters - maybe even Reddit nowadays?

That’s what I don’t get about what they said above. If the Windows desktop freezes up, Task Manager won’t open either (happened to me quite some times over the years - less so since they moved to the NT kernel though). What you mentioned always works short of kernel panic.

Probably due to cross-posting to censoring shit-platforms like TikTok.

Oh no, like 80% of the internet and embedded/mobile devices are criminal!

Thanks, that’s good to know. I wasn’t up-to-date since I currently don’t run a Debian machine.

Maybe they meant of the box. You have to add additional repos to get non-free drivers installed on Debian or install them manually.

I’ve been using Linux as my main driver for a couple of years now but I didn’t know the list of reserved file name characters is so short.

I didn’t believe ‘*’ is allowed. That alone is so error-prone, it’s insane. Backslash is allowed too - how do you escape that? Sometimes I think they giggled while writing the specs.

Well, it’s a life, I guess…

It’s actually quite similar. Non-fungible since only OP has the private key but easy to steal by just downloading the image (and cropping the key if you want).

Pendatry. Very widespread in tech.

Debian 2.x (don’t remember exactly) was my first attempt. But I don’t actually count that because after annoying driver troubles (networking and mouse) and having to recompile the kernel multiple times I unfortunately lost interest.

Tried again with Debian 8 on my laptop and stuck with it until I moved 100% Linux just a couple of years ago thanks to Valve/Proton.

I sometimes update out of habit almost immediately after I updated. That’s always a little disappointing.

To make it even more convenient, register to their mailing list and you get a heads up.

use sudo wisely, or not at all.

You also just work as root all the time, right?

He said X, not Wayland.

Oh, it can get worse. If Windows market share should really plummet, it won’t be replaced by a heterogenous distro utopia but some company like Canonical or Red Hat or a new one will get their distribution to fill the gap. And call me a cynic but I doubt this will be immune to enshittification.

But even that scenario is better than what we have with Microsoft and Apple. The FOSS world would still benefit like it does from the Steam Deck developments.

On released they didn’t know yet how far they can push that telemetry shit down their users’ throats. I bet, 11 is better optimized for that. And eventually, it’ll be Win365 OSaaS anyway…

Even excluding X.org: KDE worse than GNOME… pff, speak for yourself.

Websites offer that but you can usually find those in your favorite package manager Downloading software from shady websites is the Windows way of doing things.

Now, to be clear: this discussion is about having to use the terminal and that’s what people answered. You still find so many resources referring to the terminal because it’s often just the most convenient and effective way to do something.

I certainly prefer it over clicking through settings or running dedicated tools to do something that could be solved by a single line. And I was an exclusive Windows user like 5 years ago.
