Pros of Linux: does exactly what you ask it to do.
Cons of Linux: does exactly what you ask it to do.
Reminds me of my first day of a computer programming class. My teacher told us to write down instructions on how to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Then he would follow the instructions.
“Put the peanut butter inside two slices of bread.” He’d grab the jar of peanut butter and put the whole jar inside two slices of bread
“Grab a knife and scoop out the peanut butter.” He’d start stabbing the lid.
Beautiful analogy of what it’s like to deal with technology
that’s good, but real computer programming is more like
Error: file “PeanutButter.h” not found
Exit status code 1
That’s because you’re a noob and forgot to add this at the end:
If work == false: fix(yourself)What language is this capital I If acceptable and how do I purge it from my brain.
English and you purge it by invading Britain and forcing them to speak a cool language like Italian or Spanish
Pssst if the company’s realise it’s that easy then they wont need anyone to fix it

“Yes. Of course I have one exit status code. How do I look at it?”
I remember seeing a video where somebody did that with their kids! https://youtu.be/cDA3_5982h8
I thought it was hilarious. But you’re totally right, in the comments everyone’s talking about how they’re programming class had that same thing :)
Here is an alternative Piped link(s): https://piped.video/cDA3_5982h8
Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I’m open-source, check me out at GitHub.

Problem is:
I have no idea what I asked it to do!
For example I was creating systemd services and stuff because it is actually fun in comparison to init.d back in the days. Now I usually just copy paste tutorials and adjust it until my stuff works.
But my boot time somehow got longer O didn’t noticed it at first, but when I finally digged to the problem it seems that for timed Services you don’t want the Service to be installed(or even able to be instlled) and only enable the timer.
No tutorial told me that.
To be fair I didn’t read the documentation on systemd. But who does?
See also, the video where linus tech tips tries linux and totally borks his install after ignoring all warnings that what he’s doing is probably not what he wants to do
It does exactly what the people on the internet are telling me to make it do. There’s a big difference.
I know it’s hard to accept, but Linux (no matter the distro) requires external help a lot more than Windows or OSX, even for people who are tech literate.

Okay but have you been on the arch fourms? Sometimes people are nice and sometimes it’s “bro just read the wiki” when the user obviously already had.
The arch community is certainly an exception, not the rule.
bro just google it
Because it is specifically tailored for hobbyist users who would want to build their OS bottom up, stack-by-stack. In Arch world, they claim they strive for simplicity and that simplicity is achieved through forcing you to familiarize with every part of your system so that it is simple and easy for you to pin-point the root when an issue occurs. They put a lot of effort in writing a great documentation that the Arch wiki. Usually the BBS community don’t expect you to know everything but want to see that you did your own part before seeking community help. Please don’t read it as an excuse for the cockiness of some community members but plenty of times the users are at the fault. Answer to many questions on BBS are simply direct citations from the wiki. There is nothing wrong if someone is not willing to read that much just to get an OS working, but then they should just acknowledge that they don’t fall into the targeted user-base and stick to something else that suits their need better.
Preach. I love Linux. I run PopOS and have tried several distros. I ran Linux only from 2008-2013. It’s gotten so much better than it used to. But there is still so much to do if we ever want to reach mass desktop adoption.
I just want to play modded games but at the same time not have Microsoft spy on me
A good goal to have. I’m super happy with the work Steam has done to make more games compatible. 5 years ago I’d say less than 5% of my library would have worked in Linux and now it’s closer to 60-70%!

Pls?
user is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported. bash: Pls?: command not foundAh, good ol 838. I was thinking it would be https://xkcd.com/149/

Haven’t you ever done exactly what a client asked and they hated it?
“I can actually control and issue commands by myself instead of relying on shady installers and other type of automated-related stuff?”
“Whoooooa, whoa now buddy… that is too much.”
I got a new pc so I started messing around with linux on the old machine after 10 years or so from last using linux. The pc has an i7 from 2009 16g ram and gtx1060 and a ssd for os. Running popos. Going in and playing some steam games natively made me very happy with experience on that machine.
I have been tinkering with NixOS and my god is that true.
Does exactly what you want it to do*
*Until you encounter a broken or buggy package, then you have to fix it lol
“Yes, do as i say!”
