a robust charging connector
Wtf? Usb-c charging is the best thing that’s happened to laptops this decade. You’re insane to want to go back to the bad times.
Wow. What an enlightened centrist take. All views are valid, great take
That’s the whole point of an LTS distro. And it’s why non-rolling distros for desktop OSes make no sense
This is a perfectly civil question that is intended to make the author think about what they’re reading in the future, rather than spoon feed pure information
Why would having the build files exist suggest the package exists?
The backslash is escaping the space, and the forward slash is just how tab complete works, because it’s a directory, and you might be wanting to add more to go further down the directory tree
I don’t understand anything in this image
These are mostly terrible. Shells have built in history search
Because you’re arbitrarily restricting yourself to old versions of tools and software. The idea is you don’t want unexpected conflicts to bring down your system. But, what that means is when you do go to upgrade on something like a server, you would test the whole thing on the new version, and then migrate. That’s not how people use desktops. You just feel like one day upgrading from 20.04 to 20.10, and then get a massive burst of differences. It’s really hard to pin down what specifically goes wrong when something does.
So unless you have a staging environment for your desktop where you test the new version before migrating, then what is the purpose of running old versions of stuff?
Non rolling release distros for your desktop makes no sense.
I was arguing with one earlier about how you can’t criticize desantis for attacking Disney because Disney is a corporation
Sure. There’s a story around somewhere of someone deleting basically all of /bin and was able to recover the live system
This is almost worse than using sudo. Because now you essentially have full sudo access without having the protections of sudo, like asking for your password
Do people actually prefer this mac style desktop? You can’t even tell what windows are open, how many of them, etc, when they’re all grouped together like this.
There’s really no reason it shouldn’t work
I live in the terminal all day every day. And I still copy paste. It’s generally way easier and less typo prone than typing everything
I wouldn’t really can arch diy. I run arch. I have way fewer problems with it than any other distro
Go clutch your pearls on threads.
Just pick a distro. It sounds like you want to learn. I suggest arch. It does the least for you, is the least opinionated, but also has by far the best documentation (arch wiki is the de facto linux documentation).
The difference between the distros is otherwise simply what package management tool they use, and what packages are in their repository. Nothing else is different that’s of any importance.
