Funny that they managed to spell “don’t” and “couldn’t” correctly.

That’s why I’m sticking to Windows at work even though I hate it. I couldn’t stand the glares of the others when I fail to fix even a noob distro.

can write 260 w/p on his own machine, will not find the escape key on any other

I swear, when I need to touch other people’s computers, I can’t get them to believe me that I program for a living.

Every driver you could possibly need for any hardware in the last 20 years? This is a live CD and is expected to just work no matter what you’re running it on.

Edit: Also, of course, every program you might need to usefully test-drive a distro, like office apps, media players, image viewers, browser, email client, and a myriad more. Now that I’ve said it I find 6GB remarkably small.

Cannot update 600 packages because library-you’ve-never-heard-of conflicts with what-the-fuck-even-is-a-polypterodaclib?

The last printer I got cost 40€. Print shops charge 10ct per copy. That’s 400 prints just to amortize the cheapest garbage printer you could buy 10 years ago. And the ink doesn’t last 400 prints. Owning a printer just doesn’t make sense.

I hope it’s at least in standby mode, and not always on.

Mick Foley is a broken man. He said so himself. Why does WWE have to bring back those half-dead retirees?

If all the bloat means that both the Wifi AND the external screen AND the touchpad work out of the box SIMULTANEOUSLY, go for it.

Honestly, the arch wiki is hit and miss. Sometimes it has the information you need written in a way that you can understand, and sometimes the examples randomly switch graphics cards mid-sentence.

The duality of man. Personally, I’ve only ever experienced the first kind.

It’s actually a technical term in language theory – a term that cannot be produced by the language, but is still considered part of the ‘universe’ (i.e., the set of all terms) is called ‘garbage’ or ‘junk’.

Since I can’t find a source online to verify this claim, this might just have been the case in my courses…

An awesome find. Thank you very much!

I find this a highly interesting problem. How do you measure how much CPU time a program needs? The OS has ceded its control of the CPU to the program. Does it just look at the clock after it’s in charge again to derive a program’s load?

While we’re at it: How does the OS even yank the CPU away from the currently running process?

„There are ways to make it simpler” completely misses the point of something being simple.

I can’t ditch discord. They won’t even let me in via browser because I “failed the captcha”.

(Not that they’d tell me this somewhere in their UI, this is the server response.)

Thanks for the effort.

If he changed his look they’d have to rescan him to update his likeness, and that would earn him more money.

Probably the only time a tattoo could be considered an investment :D

How much?

(No, I’m not going to watch 11 minutes of video for a 3 second answer.)

The jre/jdk issue was pretty painless to deal with as well.

What’s driving me away is that I have to deal with it at all. The command just fails and leaves you to google the solution. That’s annoying and unnecessary.

I know now that Manjaro isn’t the OS for me if I’m not willing to do that.

The issue probably depends heavily on the installed software and might surface for some while others don’t have it.
