Good. Fuckem. They make shitty, oversized trucks that are a danger to pedestrians and people who drive reasonably sized cars anyway.

To be honest, following instructions from scammers couldn’t be much worse than doing what the real Marco Rubio says.

Because many people cannot distinguish between word salads and insight.

There’s no way that would work, would it? I can’t imagine installing linux to an NTFS volume and it actually functioning.

Oh yeah. I’ve done it just for fun before reimaging a machine. It will mostly complete (some stuff isn’t a real file so rm just fails), and your desktop environment will remain up and running while it happen. Then errors start popping up, icons stop working, nothing loads anymore, you can’t reboot or shutdown because those were actually commands, and they’re missing now…

The key to customization is not going out of bounds. If you customize, do it the way it was intended to be customized, not by finding weird, hacky shit that works like some kind of digital Rube Goldberg machine. If you find yourself writing convoluted bash scripts, and dredging up plugins on GitHub with the last commit from 2012, you’re on a crash course with destiny.

That’s categorically untrue. As long as you stick with well supported, mainstream distributions, most things just work. Given the vast diversity of window managers, init systems, boot loaders, desktop environments, package managers, graphical interface systems, audio systems, and so on… it’s surprising how well things do just generally work in most cases.

As others have mentioned, this is super old. Also, catalyst is not nearly as reckless and dangerous as it should be. It was more like letting a drunk child drive a school bus.

Correction: much more useful info full stop. Windows be like “an error happened, good luck shithead”. Linux be like: “error 37: here’s the full stack trace, we put it in a file so you can read in and copy/paste if need be, check the man page for details on how to solve”

Funny, that’s how ling I’ve been using Linux too. It turned into a very lucrative career too, so there’s that I guess.

My main desktop at work was used back in 2012 when I first had it assigned to me (officially we get laptops, desktops are by special request). It’s still kicking to this day and still my preferred system for work. All I’ve upgraded was adding an SSD and some RAM. Asset management has lost track of it by now, lol. It might just end up at my house. Honestly, this is one of the most compelling reasons to use Linux.

Until you get carpal tunnel in your feet.

Funny, that’s exactly what I want in a car.

What app is this? Never seen it before. Whoever created it must be a real dumbass though.

This may be too obscure a reference, but I’ll try anyway: What’s the Doug score?

My fav is when shit doesn’t work and Windows is like “would you like me to help you?”. Sure, go ahead, I’ve got nothing better to do. Maybe I’ll buy a lottery ticket. Chances are better I’ll win the jackpot.

I ask interviewees what they use as a text editor. If they answer emacs, job interview over.

So what’s Gentoo doing in all this? Murdering you in your sleep?
