Orion does it now too.

They live mostly on gels and polymers I think.

Hasn’t been my experience

Hopefully Debian or LMDE. Canonical is becoming a mini-Microsoft.

…and head to bed for me.

Kotor, Montenegro is the most beautiful place I’d ever been to that I’d never heard of. The whole Aegean Sea is incredible.

Edit: Meant “Adriatic” Sea.

Old Man Yells At Cloud

Sounds like such a nice lady.

Have you seen a highway in Los Angeles during rush hour?

Only if you pay money to use their product yourself.

Wealth tax. 0.1%. The rich will see it as adding a .1 onto all of their investment expense ratios, and I don’t give a shit.

I know Ubuntu has had that for a while, which means that others probably have as well.

Wasn’t the German government running SuSE?

I don’t know… Debian 12 or latest Fedora (ugh) are pretty darn idiot proof. CLI doesn’t really enter into the picture on those if you don’t want it to. And, your computer won’t have to be tossed out for another 10 years.

I’m personally just getting back into Linux after a 20-year hiatus, and configuring/compiling Gentoo from the ground up has definitely given me a different perspective on computers.

In general, almost all Linux distros stem from 3 primary distributions: Debian, Arch and Fedora. (The outliers would be things like Void, Gentoo and Slackware.) All of these other distros that “just work” are, for the most part, skins of those primary 3 with different apps pre-installed.

Kali? It’s Debian. Ubuntu? It’s Debian. Mint? It’s either Ubuntu (which itself is Debian) or now Linux Mint Debian Edition. The “look and feel” of a distro has nothing inherently to do with that distro.

What they all have in common is that the eye-candy Desktop Environment is there to provide a “friendlier” interface than a CLI - but there is nothing a DE can do that the native terminal can’t.

I’ve also found it’s just faster/easier to install things via terminal than browse through an artificial “app store.”

Maybe I’m moving away from the idea of a desktop environment in general, in favor of a Window Manager that just handles putting programs in floating windows in a black space.

Add PS2 to that https://youtu.be/DjGG-5343AY

Gentoo: yeah I’ll run on a potato if you tell me how to do it.

The OS I direct the technologically-illiterate to when I don’t plan on supporting it myself is invariably iOS. Boomers don’t need anything more anyway.

No kill like overkill.

Please don’t feed that to your dog.
