Weird, I had not had this name already. Might rename it to yarcp (yet another remote copy). Thanks for the heads up.

Say you are working for a family member (helping your dad with his company or sth.). A colleague once had to go help his parents with their small company and no one questioned it a bit. No “better pay?” or “man you are moving far away!” just “oh, well good luck”.

Dude, you wrote 2 days ago, you will vote in the general election in November in a thread about the American general election…

Who lives in denial?

Btw. as a German, no one outside the US wants Fahrenheit.

Why do people still host their stuff on github if they know its illegal?

How would you play a DRM-free game bought through steam without steam? (Genuine question)

GPL

That’s why I like fish, which shows matching commands you executed, so that you can easily redo them.

sudo usermod -a cdrom

Forgot the -G and wasn’t sudo anymore…

I did recover eventually, but it was not nice.

source is a bash shell built-in command that executes the content of the file passed as argument, in the current shell.

~/.bash_history contains all the commands you ever executed in bash (the default shell in most Linux systems)

Then it’s over. We can tear it all down and start new.

An AI assistant has nothing to do with the kernel and will never be in it.

It’s something for user space and can be done already. This is for the distro maintainers to decide.

A rental car from Sony?

Are you in the wrong thread? (I mean I responded to you but still…)

Yeah, but renting is not purchasing.

(Yes, I am fun at parties.)

Is there something like the banana voicemeeter for pipewire?

I am currently using Helvum, which is kinda lacking a lot of the functionality.

Sorry, but this guide is all over the place.

You mention Arch before other distros and never even explain what a distros is (e.g. ‘a flavor of Linux with a choice of preinstalled software’).

Then you say that it’s a beginners and not an advanced tutorial, but mention advanced distros.

Also your reasons for the beginner distros are not well written:

1. Fedora mentions “rightful backlash against the company”
2. Linux Mint “I haven’t used”
3. Pop OS “shares some issues”

Why take one of them? They all sound difficult or weird. (to a newby reader)

Then the part about Ubuntu and Manjaro which is longer than the 3 distros you recommend. This has major “Linux fanboy bashing other Linux fanboys” vibes.

The rest I really liked, maybe replace “this era” with “its era”.

There are a lot of big ones like Ubuntu, Mint, Debian, Fedora or Arch. Arch is for users with a little more experience. But funnily enough Arch has like child-distributions, that build upon its core. Ubuntu is also a ‘child’ of Debian an Mint builds onto Ubuntu.

It’s kind of like three or four big families, that had lots of children. 😂

(and then there are NixOS, OpenSuse and lots of others, which I forgot)

It has to do with Linux.

Linux itself is not a fully fledged operating system as most people would expect it. Since Linux has to work on servers and microchips as well as on desktop PCs, lots of stuff is not shipped with it.

For example Linux is missing a way to display windows and has no real package manager.

A distro (or distribution) is a predefined set of of software, that makes it easier for a user to use Linux.

This is mostly a window manager or desktop environment like KDE or GNOME, a package manager like apt or pacman and useful software like an office suite, a browser and other stuff.

Distros also exist for servers, the ln they don’t include a way to display images, but still have a package manager and other useful stuff preinstalled.

That’s of course not all, but maybe gives you a little overview.
