Yeah, I know the definition. I knew someone would quote it verbatim, someone always does. I quoted it because it’s not the word I would use. I like scheduled or versioned releases better but someone always disagrees with me. As far as I’ve seen it’s a major/minor version release cycle anyway.

That’s how I feel about arch, it’s not “stable” but the few issues I’ve had they typically have it fixed with an update within hours.

I do have to clarify when I switched to arch from windows my entire computer was brand new and practically no other distro booted or if it installed it dumped me to a black screen.

After running my server on archlinux with the stable kernel for 7 years I did install Debian on my new server. Zfs just required an older lts kernel than I could get on arch without a ton of hassle. I didn’t need it on my Mac mini with an external hard drive plugged in. From my experience it’s not very different to maintain compared to arch but it’s nice having built in automation instead of writing my own.

Man it’s weird using a system of what I can guess is a bunch of bash scripts on Debian to set things up compared to just using the tools built into and written for systemd.

Man Nvidia users are going to be stoked when the get explicit sync in they’re desktop environments in two years. 😂 They’re have been so many small improvements in the Nvidia drivers up until that point I hope they actually update Nvidia drivers on Debian. I understand some of those improvements are not going to work because of the kernel version and the desktop versions.

Calm down children, they both suck. Now put the rulers away.

Just passing the tourch I guess. A random post on the archlinux forum saved me and I’m glad sharing my experience helps someone else.

My favorite part is how it broke the Intel wifi card during my Linux install until I booted back into windows just to turn fast boot off. Maybe some hackery to skip initializing wifi hardware or something?

Yeah, you catch more flies with honey than vinegar. These individuals annoying people over stuff like this is like trying to criticize a smoker until they quit.

They know open source or free software is supposed to be better for you but there are legitimate reasons to keep using the propertary software.

Also I have no issue with proprietary software so long as they provide a quality service and respect my privacy/rights as a customer. Given an opportunity to pay for good software I always try to, even if the only option is to donate.

Also if you have a fairly big community having a professional team to handle any issues you have in a timely and professional manner is pretty important. I can’t tell you how many times I tried to report a bug that makes the software unusable and the maintainer says “huh, what are you talking about.” and ghosts me.

Been learning to program and I’m refusing to use an lsp for the time being. I’m bad about using abbreviated names when I have to type over and over again(no auto complete). I’m at least using descriptive names for functions I use less than four times.

Thank you for this, now I know I have 26+ registers to store stuff in as well as the system clipboard! Honestly been so busy I haven’t touched my computer in over a week.

Engineer, most girls probably wouldn’t think twice about software* but engineer has a ring to it. Like doctor.

I’ll probably get back to you in a few years, still mastering the motions and actions.

Start small, make silly things. Html is probably the easiest thing to pick up and see what your changes are doing almost immediately. Play with formatting and styling, add pictures, learn how to create buttons and radials.

After that I’d start learning how to make stuff happen with JavaScript maybe create a pop-up when you hit a button, figure out how to change the color of elements with input boxes or sliders, etc.

When you feel comfortable enough with the language make what you want even if it already exists. Tic tac toe, a rudimentary blog, Conways game of life. Don’t be afraid to take a break if it gets frustrating and don’t be too hard on yourself if it’s not amazing.

Just remember it takes time, I hear most developers say it takes at least a year of carving a few ours a week just making stuff to really start grasping a language. So just make stuff and don’t be afraid to look it up. The more pointed your questions the easier it gets to find answers.

I jumped head first into c++ my apps are incredibly buggy and run slower than most web apps. They’re only terminal apps but I’m improving and so can you.

Only because I have figured out how to copy from vim to other apps without the mouse yet.

It’s for navigating web documentation when arrow keys are too fine but page up/down keys are too coarse.

I guess you could hit tab 9000 times to get to the right hyperlink. I’ve done that when setting up Hyperland on an Nvidia GPU and my cursor was there but invisible.

That’s nothing new, my mother’s 2014 charger slows down to a complete stop if there’s a crisp shadow of a bridge in the right place on the road.

Text formatting would go a long way.

They probably would have blacklisted the topic if they remembered. At least in America a portion of the population has forgotten about the conflict in the Ukraine because of Gaza and Gemini literally just got released to the general public.

Me making my first calculator in c.

I don’t watch LTT anymore thanks to Gamers Nexus. I was shopping for a new graphics card for my mother’s desktop and I did see the confusing inconsistencies they were talking about in at least one video.

It just seemed like an improvement to switch to AMD from Nvidia ever since she switched to Linux. I’ll watch this later!
