I’m very confused. How are your pronouns both he and she? I’m not even sure what that would mean.

God damn. I was just about to invite you to the fuck cars community. In doing so, I needed the like with the !.

In trying to find it on the sidebar, I see you’ve found that community. As a mod.

Which means the whole basis for my comment is void before I even typed it!

On a similiar note…can you put the ! link in the sidebar?

Yeah…wait until you hear of the horrors russian soldiers did in the early days of the war.

I won’t elaborate, because it’s too disturbing. I wish I didn’t know, and won’t subject you to that same knowledge.

I’m not going to, but my immediate instinct is to make a new post titled “Mars” and the body would say “It’s red”

I hope linked it right.

Welp…

Back in 1997 there was a storyline in WWF with a professional wrestler named Bret Hart.

Bret is a Canadian. And the storyline was that he was a bad guy in the USA, because he bad mouthed USAs healthcare, and treatment of veterans.

He was a good guy everywhere in the world EXCEPT the USA.

He said things like “Back home in Canada, we still act like decent people. Where we take care of the sick, and the elderly. We honor our veterans who served our country. Not like here where you dump them in the streets and spit on them as they suffer. I can’t wait to get back to Canada. A real country to be proud of. Not this fascade of an image that your country tries to project. All men are created equal, huh? Kind of hard to take that seriously, when the quotes author was a slave holder.”

Yeah. Professional wrestling was WILD in the late 90s. But I bet you thought it was just muscle roided beefy boys beating their chests and shaking the ropes, huh?

My point is, we’ve NEVER taken care of our own people. Even a professional wrestler 30 years ago could see that.

Hell, why is sleep so hard for most humans?

…

Part of me is convinced this a joke for one guy, switching between two accounts, just laughing to himself. Like it’s some kind of inside joke. And by “inside” I mean “inside his own head”.

kicks you in the balls

Yes.

Want to be friends, but then never talk? Like ever?

My first computer was 33htz. Ran Windows 3.1. And Warcraft 2.

So yeah. The perfect computer.

Man. I have no use for this. I know where I go. I go to work. And then the gym. Almost every day. Because I work a lot.

It’s like my boss always says…“BACK TO WORK, DICKHEAD!”

All I get is an error when clicking those links.

Yikes. I’m over here still struggling to remember “sudo apt-do get install (program)(version)”.

Flatpak, I love you. You click the thing, and you get the thing, and the thing just works.

I hate you, terminal.

I’m so confused by this noncomment.

You commented, and deleted the comment within 13 minutes, and removed your own self-upvote.

What could you have POSSIBLY said that didn’t age well 13 minutes later to make you say “I don’t stand by that comment anymore…”

Go buy like 5 USB sticks. You can turn 4 of them into distros that retain information. That is to say if you boot from that usb stick, and install a program that program would still be there if you reboot the PC. Normally it all reverts to default if you power down, but theres a way to make changes permanent. But you need 2 sticks. Which is why only 4 of your usb sticks will become distros, instead of all 5.

Now you can try out 4 different distros. I reccomend ZorinOS, but I can’t say anything bad about Mint.

Me personally, I hate Ubuntu. But thats the thing about Linux. My taste may not be your taste, and you can tell me to go fuck myself.

Zorin just seems like they at least TRY to make your life Terminal free. I recommend ArcMenu, and Dash to Panel.

I wish I could make a copy of all my tweaks, except as a “fresh install”, and give it to you. I have mine set up as basically “windows XP but modern”.

I love flatpak. The problem is how fractured Linux’s installation system is. As the end user, I don’t give a fuck where it came from and where it is installed. I just want it to work, and be available.

That’s part of the problem. Everything is all over the place.

I’m sure this is a witty remark, but I’m just out of the loop here. I know Arch is a distro, but I don’t know the culture enough to “get” the joke.

I love this comment. I love it because even though I don’t know what wayland is, I gather by context it’s popular, and has something to do with output of your display.

And it’s popular, but it doesn’t work FOR YOU.

And you have to point out that just because something works for others, doesn’t mean it works for everybody.

I’m pretty unskilled when it comes to linux, but I’ve noticed linux users fall into one of two groups.

First, the group who genuinely want to help you. They may not KNOW the exact answer, because they don’t know your exact hardware, but they try to help with common problems.

The other group takes it as a personal insult if you’re having problems in linux that you don’t know how to solve. Like linux is part of their personality, and they think linux is perfect without the ability to have problems. Therefore the guy asking for help is just trying to insult linux, and therefore themselves. They then respond with hostility and personal insults about how it’s your problem.

Yeah. It IS my problem. Can ya figure out what I’m doing wrong?

But they don’t see it that way. In their eyes, linux is perfect, and you’re an asshole for saying you have an issue.

So what I’m saying is, I love how you already know you need to state upfront you KNOW it works for others, but not for you.

you can almost use it entirely without the CLI

The word “almost” is doing some heavy lifting there. Linux is still a “terminal culture”.

I spent 6 hours last night trying to figure out how to make a usb boot drive from ZorinOS.

Step 1 ‐ install BalenaEtcher.

I never figured out step 1. It’s not in the software store.

I downloaded the zip, and then had no idea what to do with it.

I watched a youtube video on what to do with the zip, and in his video he had one file in the zip. I had about 20 files, and a couple folders. And I didn’t have the file he used.

Eventually I found an APPimg file, and it installed Balena Etcher. But it wouldn’t launch after being installed.

Then I heard of some other way, starting with a Z. You can put multiple ISOs on it, and choose at boot.

So I downloaded ReactOS, 3 different versions of Mint, pop_os, and zaphrite os. The only one that booted was pop_os. Which I didn’t much care for, but at least it booted.

Spent 5 hours on that, and still have no idea how to use ZorinOS to make a usb boot disk that actually works.

In windows, you download an exe file for balena etcher, click it, probably go through 12 different screens of install, but then it works.
