Op isn't answering shit
Just like Linux
- sh.itjust.works was having issues.
  
  The irony
  
  I actually left that instance just because it was always having issues...
  
  Shit.just.wont.works.most.of.the.time.but.not.every.time
- Return code 0 is good.
The community told me that using Arch would turn me into a cute femboy. It's been a decade and I'm still as large and hairy as I was back then.
My question is who should I sue for this false advertisement?
- Linus. He is responsible for making Linux, in general, so Arch had to use that kernel. If Linux never existed, you might've naturally become a femboy.
  
  Linus, as in tech tips right?
- I installed arch last night and woke up with nail polish on.
- Oh fk now thinking about it, me starting to use an Arch based distro and starting going to laser epilation pretty much happened at the same time period. Save me..
  
  Can I interest you in showing you the ways of our lord and saviour, Jesus Christ?
- Sorry, this is a kerning issue. Cute FERNboy.
Why is it that ever since upgrading Fedora I need to restart the pipewire daemon every time I plug/unplug headphones or else media freezes?
- Because the sound goes through pipes and you need to let them rest, otherwise they might burst from the sound pressure.
  
  Hmm.. well that makes actually a lot of sense. Thanks!
- Because you also need to install Trenchcoat for it to work
  
  You forgot the Katana plugin.
- Have you checked the logs?
- One thing that works for me on Pop OS is to switch audio device in the settings, it's like the buffer gets filled up and switching device flushes it.
Should I dual boot?
- Of course... what sane person doesn't wear both boots 🤨.
  
  People missing a leg
  
  The ones that wear one boot inside another. Only a single boot on each foot suffices.
- I don't recommend it, the more boots you use the heavier your computer will be. I've got mine down to half a boot and I'm working on getting it down to a quarter.
  
  some clearly hasnt heard of a bootless system
  
  lol 🤣🤣🤣, this one is better than my answer 🤣.
Was linux created by linus tech tips?
- Yes... most probably.
  
  Linux sex tips
- No it was created by his good twin Linux tech tips
  
  this weeks episode is why you should compile everything from source
What's the cp command?
- It does creepy pedo things on your files.
  
  Except for PDF files, they're kindred spirits.
- it sends your files directly to the communist party of china
What does the GNU stands for in Linux?
- Going to Nut in Unix
  
  Correct
- Chaos
Who is Linus and why does he Torvalds
- Ah, that's a interesting story actually.
  See, when he was a little kid, he fell a lot on his head and had quite a few concussions. The Swedish word for concussion is "torva", so they decided to change his sirname in order to scare the concussion daemons away. And that's why Linus can Toldvalds and why he's the only one that can Torvalds.
  
  As a Swedish person i just learned a new word.
  
  Wait, isn't he Finnish?
Which one is it?
“Ask me anything about it and I’ll try to answer”
OR
“Ask me anything about IT and I’ll try to answer”
- Take your pick, I'm feeling generous today.
  
  What does IT stands for?
- The clown
  
  Touché! I was thinking Information Technology, but you win with Pennywise twist.
Can Linux be used as a sex toy?
- well... it sure is a possibility
  
  Good thing it's written in rust. Memory leaks and race conditions are my two biggest fears while buttplug shopping.
  
  Jfc!
- Yes.
Can you explain network sockets to me?
- They're just regular sockets that do most of the work... the net thing is just added to complicate things.
How do I change the language to EN-US on redstar os?
- You don't. It's designed to be unchagable. Only the supreme leader can change that.
  
  sudo = supreme leader do
- In the locale picker it's called YEE-HAW not EN-US 👍
- Follow up: how to change to french on templeOS?
  
  You have to recode the kernel in french.
Wanna fsck?
- Yes. If you're a guy, you'll have to wear makeup.
  
  what if we just finger and mount?
how is the x org x server related to x formerly known as twitter?
- It's his second cousin from his aunt's sister in law side.
- wayland.social
- They're distant cousins, but they avoid each other at family reunions
I'd like you to guess which one of these is fake:
How do I install Hyprland on NixOS using Flakes?
How do I install systemd-dispatcher on Void Linux RC?
Edit:
- Whichever one is fake could be real tomorrow.
  
  do you have any idea the shitstorm that would go down in the Void Linux forums
  
  There is always an alternate reality
- They are both fake. Neither of them show up any results on google searches.
- You’re good. I know one of these is definitely real, but the other one is plausible enough to make me think both are real
- Not OP but I know which one is fake because I remember actually doing the other one haha
- ...Neither?
- If you didn't tell me one of these were fake I would never have questioned it.
What's openSUSE? Is closedSUSE its cousin?
- Closed suse is the "gay, but still can't admit to his parrents" version of opensuse.
What are programmer socks?
- They're socks that programmers usually wear when they're out, not programming, because everyone needs socks when they go out. But, programmers felt underappreciated if their socks are called just like everyone elses socks, so they changed their name by adding programmer in front.
- They are soft material artifacts that protect and warm up the programmer’s feet.
If you cat a log, what would tail report?
- First, you don't "cat a log", you "cut a log". Second, tail will report that you're not in the sudoers group.
- Hey! I just saw the end of that!
- You have to disassemble it, clean the rust, assemble it back and put some extra oil in it so it doesn't get rusty again.
- The code is less readable
What is ":(){ :|:& };:"
- That is what happens when none of your alphabet keys on your keyboard are working, but you still wanna communicate online.
- A funny command that gives you free chocolate
- Try it in your terminal and come back here to tell us the results
- A text based Rorschach test. That one is clearly a mouse chasing a cat.
- An emoticon with a weird hat
  
  which part is the face and which part is the hat?
- Shut up, we don't need no Cthulhu here.
- An alias for "sudo shutdown now"
So someone suggested to me that Linux is amazing for gaming.
I decided to split boot and installed Mint and attempted to play Forza Horizon 5. It literally runs like a potato. Also my Logitech steering wheel doesn't work and has major input lag.
Since you know so little about Linux, my question is what are you having for dinner?
- Have no idea, still haven't had breakfast...
What's the penguins name?
How many boot loaders do I need to boot the loader?
- To boot the load, you only need one bootloader, and that is your prostate. Have no idea how women boot the load.
- 42
- Don't install it if you want to keep your sanity. The opposite if you don't.
- DONT waste your time with quirks mode
  DO find a new job
  Speaking from personal experience
Is red hat a good or a bad influence on the ecosystem?
- Well, red is darker than white, so if everyone wears red hats, then global warming will most definitely rise.
What does sudo rm -rf / --no-preserve-root do? I found it on some sketchy article.
- It removes the root from the apple tree in Eden and saves Eve from making the first sin, humanity being banished from heaven and all that.
Why do some specific Nvidia grafic cards require that you use legacy BIOS to start up your linux, while it works flawlessly on macOS using EFI??
- Because Apple has money and revenue, and Linux doesn't.
  
  😮 I did not expect such accurate answers, lol
- Which cards?
Which Linux distribution should I run on my Arduino Uno for maximum performance?
No questions on how to exit vim 🤔 🤨?
- Because the people are stuck in VIM
- the only way to exit vim is to unplug your pc
  
  Correct!
- You press the X button.
- From another terminal:
  ps ax | grep vim | awk '{print $1}' | xargs -- kill -9
- I haven't used vim since collage (I'm currently a aarp member) isn't it "cntrl-x" ?
  
  that is nano
What does L.I.N.U.X stand for
- Linux Is Not Uni X
- Linus Is Nuts, Use X
What are the advantages of pacman?
- Well, you have only 4 controls for him, up, down, left, right, whereas, let's say Mario, also has fire and jump, so that's 2 controls more, which makes pacman simpler, thus faster.
- He eats all the pellets i dropped on the ground and can get rid of ghosts
  
  Also makes cute sounds and blinks on special occasions
- It's free and open source, unlike Microsoft's proprietary Ms. Pacman
- None
Why do people use Ubuntu with snaps?
- Because it'll snap if you don't.
  
  Many of these answers are so on spot, I wonder if OP have reached enlightenment without realizing.
- Because its the default
Nano or vim?
- Nano because Vim is a cleaning aid.
Is it pronounced 'Sue-Due" or "Pseudo"?
- It's pronounced "su-mo”.
What kernel parameters should I use?
- All of them, just to be sure
- The parameters that suite your needs.
- The clang-find-cpp-headers-in-vscode-dev package.
What is the best init system?
- The system that lets you in it.
  
  Are you sure you don't know anything? 🤨
  
  Ngl this is a good one for real
  
  Absolutely true!
Why did I have to burn multiple install CDs before finally getting one to work back in 2013?
- Because not all distros work with their respective boot floppies. I gather you finally realized that in 2013.
- For the same reason I had to buy a stack of floppies to install it in the 90's
  
  Good thing floppes were dirt cheap back then.
  
  Weren't floppy's relatively rewritable? Why did you have to buy multiple instead of simply trying multiple times?
What is a Distro?
- A distro is a set of applications preinstalled on a Linux kernel that don't seem to work as expected. Debugging tools usually don't come preinstalled with the distro.
- I don't recommend them, they just cause arguments online
- it is a tribe, they have conflicting ideas and ideologies apart from that Linux and FOSS is great, everything else is contestable. There is a hierarchy in the tribes with strong links to there initiation ritual. You are free to change tribe as much as you want or even be in multiple tribes but when war breaks out you must defend your tribe.
  I am in the Arch, Debian and Alpine tribes.
  
  They allowed you in all of them 😱? You sneaky devil, I bet you hide you're in the other tribes 😏.
What do I do if I accidentally remove grub
- You go hungry
what is cinnamon forked from?
- Cinnamon trees
What does the X stand for?
- X is short for X-Rated. No person under the age of 18 is supposed to use X. Of course, this doesn't mean that there are no documented cases of minors using X, which has seriously affected their mental health.
  
  And what about the X in Linux?
  Come to think of it, what does Linux stand for?
What should I do to use shared-memory communication from user-space on an immutable system?
- You should try and download some RAM from the user-space. Regarding the system, you should really switch to a muted one, I was extatic when my system stopped bitching all the time.
- It should be fine
What are the important, distinguishing differences between RHEL8 and REHL9 one should probably know.
- One is divisible by 3 and not 2, and the other is divisible by 2 and not 3
  This is very important when checking if your software packages are compatible
  
  Correct!
  
  Explain this
Hum... Ok.
Why does systemd have a directory of active scripts if it needs to activate the scripts on its internal configuration too?
- Why do birds fly? Only god knows...
- Because that's how it was designed
How do I set up a VNC server from my Manjaro machine? If anyone wants to give a real answer I'd appreciate that too!
- The real asnwer is, you don't. Manjaro is an Italian based distro, and we all know how much Italians work in real life, so this distro doesn't really work either. Your best choice is to ditch Manjaro and use TempleOS for your VNC server.
- I can only see ssh sharing there, no remote desktop option. And I am using GNOME.
  
  Nice instance
Why not systemd?
- The name says it all, systemd is short for system dumpster-on-fire.
  
  oooo conroversial
- You should be asking why systemd
  
  mah systemd is fine
xfce: what should it stand for?
- Xtra Feral Computing Elements
- X Fucks Custom Enhancements
- x-face. because using it makes u go X(
How do you reverse the bit-stream scalar using the systemd fractional scaling initializer?
- You remove the scalar with pliers, then do some welding work on the initilalizer to get it to the proper shape (systemd is known to have unstandard sizes of shape and size plugs). Then, you chop the bit-stream into single bits and insert them one by one into the initializer, hold them there, then plug the initializer in systemd and let the bits fall in it. EZ
Last time I installed Kubuntu I was stopped by an seemingly undealable-with overscan issue, like 20% of the view was outside the screen and NVIDIA control panel sucked. So I had to go back to Windows after like half a week of googling and no dice, it was unacceptable. Thoughts?
- You should try ball busting
- You need to set the image in the monitor to the left or right (depending which side was being cut off).
This post and your replies are amazing.
How can I Linux?
- You can Linux with your frineds, with your coworkers, with your gf/wife/mistress... just about anyone that knows what a gagball and a buttplug is, but would like to take that experience to another level.
  
  Perfect response as always. Thank you. Hearing about my friend's job having some difficulties where there was some update on a Linux based device at stores and it's causing all sorts of issues at the stores. I'm sure he would agree with your statement right now.
What does chmod do?
- It changes the mood. One o is missing from it because the main dev was Russian and really bad at spelling in English.
_{how do i use cp}
_{how do i kill all children of a parent}
_{how do i remove orphans}
- The creepy pedo command can be used on any file, except PDF.
  Regarding the rest, I think I have to call 911.
Actually it’s GNU/Linux. Just kidding. I am not that guy.
- Aktually it's GNU+Linux
- Actually you are not that gnu
Why do Linux users hate Nvidia?
- Because Nvidia hates Linux users. They're just returning the favor.
  
  That is surprisingly accurate
  
  That's literally just correct. Are you sure you don't know your Linux lore?
How do you exit vim, and more importantly why would you even want to exit vim?
- You click on the X button. You're done doing whatever it is you people do in this so called "vim", and you close it, simple.
- No, because Linux can work even without GNU. You just have to recompile everything against musl.
What's a fork?
- It's an eating utensil.
  
  How is Android a "fork" of Linux then?
What does man touch do?
- It does the opposite of a woman touch.
Why is Windows playing nice with Linux nowadays?
- What do you mean by nice, it doesn't play nice at all, check all the "😭😭😭 Windows update broke GRUB" threads.
What does L.I.N.U.X. stand for?
- Linux
  Is
  Not
  Unix
  Xylophone
- Linus Is Nuts, Use Xtreme caution.
What does rm -rf /
- It cleans your PC.
Zast ruley?
- I have no idea who that is...
Are you bored?
- Somewhat...
Why is Hyprland the only good Wayland compositor?
- Because it's hyper 🤷.
- It isn't
  crowd goes wild
- Because GNOME keeps sabotaging Wayland.
  Serious answer: because Vaxry (Hyprland owner) didn't want to wait for Wayland protocols to be approved by the big players (but more likely vetoed by GNOME and Weston), and made his own implementations with blackjack and hookers. He even made his own xdg-desktop-portal implementation to get screen recording to work.
Why do so many nerds say my sister Vi is their favorite?
Is this the year of linux?
- No. It's the the year of the Dinux Lesktop.
What is a bootloader and why would anyone want to load boots?
- Cuz... where else are you gonna put your load 🤨...

- Right next to the reset button usually.
Wtf is this shit
- I know nothing about Linux. Ask me anything about it and I'll try and answer your question to the best of my abilities.
  
  Good answer.
What is a "distro"?
- Similar to a "bistro", except it's not a small restaurant, but it's quite large. The prices are still moderate though.
  
  I heard they are free tho
What is GNOME?
What is the best distro and why is it Debian?
- Because Debbie is a woman, and we all know why Ian made it the best distro, happy wife happy life.
