“How can files be real if the filesystem isn’t real?” - Jaden Smith (probably)

Did you miss the “memes” in “linuxmemes”?

Besides, there is nothing misleading about it. I’ve learned more about Linux from breaking and then fixing my system than any course or tutorial could teach me. And that isn’t just knowledge, it’s real experience that I could apply professionally when one of our ancient Ubuntu servers crapped out.

For a beginner who is interested in learning how Linux works, Arch’s inherently higher requirement for technical skills (or the ability and willingness to develop those skills) may be more valuable than just having a stable and reliable system.

Arch Linux is the best* beginner distro.

(* as long as you’re willing to learn how to un-fuck whatever you’ve fucked up.)

Actually they’re only enums if they’re made in the Enümmär region of Germany, otherwise they’re just sparkling integers.

I have this new AI tool. Free and open source, model and all, and extremely CPU-efficient. Basically you feed it the training data (like some New York Times articles, but it can be any text or binary), and it can produce a 1:1 output when prompted. I call it “copi”; can I get my five trillion tax dollars now?

You get closer to true nirvana when you realize that “everything is a file on Linux” is a lie for children.

The average tech bro doesn’t have the skill to maintain a single system long enough for customizations to matter.

Early adopters. I work at a university that owns multiple /24 blocks (and probably an entire /16, but no concrete evidence) because they were assigned during the internet’s infancy.

IIRC, Elite used lookup tables for trigonometric functions on certain target platforms (maybe the NES) because memory wasn’t as much of a constraint as computing performance. It’s a barrel of game compressed into a pint of code.

Based on that detailed description, the answer is: due to facts and circumstances. Change some of the variables and you might see different results.

It’s a GUI wrapper for PowerShell commands to customize a Windows install, and has a section where you can remove AppX packages (Copilot and similar). And a lot more. I strongly recommend it.

If you would prefer to use PowerShell…

It does. I’ve been able to uninstall everything from Copilot to Edge on my second PC.

Laughs in Europe. OneDrive is legally required to be a one-click uninstall.

Unrelated to the meme, but I have to counter that breathing piece of cargo with a better photo.

Is “being constantly miserable online” how younglings define “bullying” these days? I apologize, I didn’t know. Could you at least call me fat or make fun of my name or interests? Then maybe I’d feel something other than slightly sorry for you. I don’t want to leave you hanging.

Says a lot about you that, of all of her achievements and qualifications, and the fact that she not just revolutionized but practically created the field of consumer-grade wireless VR… you get stuck on her being a woman.

God’s menagerie is vast, but the fences are low.
