Exactly what i’ve been saying for a while now. The analogy goes even further: Windows is often used to carry out day-to-day office work, while Linux is used on servers, research/development machines, and anytime you need something non-standard/flexibility.

If you do see an animal like that, bring it to a vet. Don’t try to treat it yourself unless you know what you are doing /have some experience doing that.

not mounted

I agree with you, the EFI variables shouldn’t be mounted by default. Unfortunately, on some systems, they are.

There was even a huge fight about that. I’m too lazy to look it up now, though.

you can add sudo permissions for individual users for certain commands only; and i recommend you would do that; i.e. give her sudo permission for installing/uninstalling applications, but nothing else.

It’s a good thing that new and unexperienced users who want to learn 😃 on the internet get recommendations such as “use rm -fr / to remove the french language pack and fix your localization issues” and then ending up with an expensive, broken hardware (/s)

You can also remove the fr*nch language pack via rm -fr /

But in all seriosity, i tried to install Linux dual-boot with Windows on my dad’s computer last weekend, and it broke the windows install because it doesn’t support bitlocker (apparently). Maybe i could have gotten it to work, but i abandoned the project after the first failed attempt. Still a bit salty about that. Especially since it was meant to be a demonstration how “quick and easy” installing Linux nowadays supposedly is.

you are a wizard, harry

It’s good that you know better what’s good for the people than the people themselves.

Here’s a picture of the linux distro family tree:

There’s Debian, the distro.

There’s Redhat/Fedora, which is commercial,

there’s gentoo, where on installation, everything is compiled from source.

There is slackware, mostly for historical purposes (it was the first distro),

there’s arch for people who want to feel they’re better than others tinkerers,

there is openSUSE, which is like redhat but german.

A lot of people really have difficulty with maths and programming.

The way i imagine it, programming is something non-real, something metaphysical, or how you want to call it. And a lot of people even plainly reject that such a thing meaningfully exists. Think about how many people reject the existence of “spirits”, “demons”, or “god”, based on nothing else but the argument that it is not tangible. Something similar is going on with maths and programming.

at one point, microsoft will put all of their software into a VM and ship that on a linux platform. that will do.

look what they have to do to mimic a fraction of our power

don’t they eat scraps?

anything but metric

and anuses are vaginas, as long as you treat them as one.
