My tip for anyone struggling with getting started with linux, set up a log function so you can easily log any relevant changes you make, and have it accessible from somewhere else (like a shared partition or external drive for example). This way you know what you have done and can use that to fix whatever you fuck up. Also, make a knowledge base with the sources you find useful. I have a small kb in UpNote now so I can look up how some things were done instead of having to search and find the right guides over and over.

This is the best advice for anyone who wants to learn how to utilize the command line. I used to write tremendous documentation for myself, as though I was writing a blog post. Now, I just throw a one line description of the change and hope I remember enough about it for it to make sense. But writing the longer info was really important for me internalizing things in the very beginning.

Glad you’re having fun!

Edit: Oh, and I suggest you look for guides on setting up rsync to work like Time Machine.

After he withdrew from the last one and while acting even crazier than the first time. I’m sure Iran will be tripping over themselves to agree.

The Rust war is a travesty for OSS.

We have to protest Tesla even harder.

I love how there’s that one weirdo downvoting all these replies against the multitude of people who find this distasteful. You know who you are, you twisted little wretch.

Well, I guess it’s a good thing that the buildout of shitcar chargers got delayed and didn’t happen.

To the floor!

Best answer. We can sell it!

The right-wing party Alternative for Sweden, for which Lundström ran in the 2021 elections, confirmed his death in a Facebook post on Tuesday.

Oh well.

Those are rookie numbers. Let’s go further.

I love projects like this. It’s way harder to do in Bash, but that’s what makes it interesting. The unnecessary effort to do it right shows real skill.

Smart. Trying to save costs on IT gets bad results every time. It’s a necessary part of the business.

Very interesting. Cheers!

I keep space heaters in every room (except kitchen and bathrooms). Why heat the whole place when I’m just one person in one spot? (She bundles under blankets because the space heaters dry her skin, but similar end result.)

He’s a real nerd’s nerd.

The Woz has spoken. Ditch Tesla cars and buy something that isn’t owned by a nazi gremlin.

Sell it.

I will check this out!

The system seems quite a bit quicker than it was in Windows - though in all honesty this will also be because I’m still on a fairly fresh install.

I don’t think your Linux install is likely to slow down the way Win does.

The little icon jumping next to your cursor when opening a program (I know, I’m easily amused).

I consider Win unique as an OS that doesn’t provide feedback when something is happening in the background. It’s infuriating.

The lingering feeling of instability.

You’ve spent decades on the other system and when you started, you were too young to feel anxiety about it. You’ll get used to it.

The capslock works differently, apparently. I’m used to writing every capital letter using the capslock key, meaning if I write a capital at the beginning of a word, I press capslock, then type the first letter, then quickly press capslock again and type the rest.

I don’t understand why you don’t use the Shift key. I’m not trying to be an ass; why not use Shift?

I say all of this as a Mac guy who uses Linux for servers and such. I don’t daily-drive Linux as a desktop platform. But I greatly respect Linux and pay to support the Asahi Linux project (they are building Linux for Apple Silicon). I wish you all the best finding your way in a Windows-free world.

Good.
