But that’s almost never how a system is configured. The entire point is that bash, zsh, fish etc. can make use of those utilities. You don’t need bash trying to reinvent everything. You don’t want that. That’s why changing shells is generally painless and a strength, not a weakness.

Oh yes, my moment! 2002, stage 1 off a DVD with no internet connection on a Pentium 2. Accidentally selected everything including open office, Firefox and done other stuff I don’t remember then hit emerge world. One week of compiling later it was finally ready for the next input 😂

Linux gamers say Delta Force game is ‘not part of our agenda in the future’

Nor do I, and I use both Arch and Debian exclusively.

Yeah, I’m not a fan of flatpak for my usage, but this isn’t a great argument against it.

I’d rather someone “only” release on flatpak if that’s the simplest way they can support Linux compared to no support at all.

Sshfs isn’t the same as smbfs if that’s what you’re thinking. It has nothing to do with how windows does files.

It used to be a (potential) issue with sponging hard drives, though was debated back then even. I can’t think of anything that would be an issue for it nowadays though.

Meh, I used Gentoo in its literal first release off a DVD with only printed instructions for a stage one build on an old Pentium II. No internet or anything to fall back on. Learnt a hell of a lot (like don’t select Firefox and Open Office and do an emerge world as your first package step after the initial boot because it took literally a week to compile with no indication when it would be done). Definitely have a soft spot for Larry the Cow but after running that setup for a couple of years I feel I’ve taken what I needed from Gentoo.

Would recommend it to anyone who wants to dig in and really learn what makes their system tick, but not as a daily driver. I feel for me Arch hits the sweet spot, but was happy with Debian/Ubuntu too (at least until Ubuntu went to shit with snaps).

I think a register for each of the primes should be enough.

As someone starting up a custom t-shirt printing business desperately in need of building a customer base, I condone this message.

That doesn’t look quite right.

Took a look at it and it didn’t grab me. Different preferences for different people. I hope Helix continues to grow but I’ve no interest in it myself.

I prefer paru these days.

Just did a quick search and this video came up. Maybe it will help point you in the right direction?

But his “serious” videos are just like this too, so not sure who he is supposed to be parodying; himself?
