That is a bunch of unnecessary noise just because an AI managed to code a working python code for you. Like that'd make your command "cursed" or some sort.

You >>> everyone else. <3

You could make a cronjob/bash script that opens haxx in a terminal, with the appropriate font size.

Funny of you to say that. I've got a Orange pi 5 MAX (which I'm pretty sure it can fall into the "not a easy machine to install Linux" category) and the experience, for the most part, was straightforward. (You've mentioned an issue regarding mices --I've got a "Ragnok 2 gun mice" and it "just werked" on it. No tweaks or "mental gymnastics" required.). Hell, even enabling hardware acceleration was very straightforward as is -- you just have to know where and what to look for.

I'm not trying to defend Pewdiepie -- just saying that Linux can be "user friendly" just like Windows if you know what you are dong.

You will go back to your "usual" linux setup when you realize that most packages you set up with LFS are now broken and you'll need to redo the whole process again.

t. arch linux minimal installation only master race

Absolutely yes. You'd be better buying a dedicated PC for Linux tho.

t. Got a Orange pi 5 MAX with Linux installed. It's tricky to set up, but worths a lot in the end (low power usage while providing a decent performance -- can be used as a "mini server" to host your own personal file server or anything else you'd like while providing a smooth experience for anything your job may require from it.)

I don't mind a little "change" every now and then, but still -- "Sway" on my "potatoes" (Orange pi zero 3 and Orange pi 5 max) and "Hyprland" on my x86_64 PC.

How to become a hacker

Average Linux user: Hack the white house

Your mom: Install pi-hole

Dietpi user here. I've got a orange pi zero 3 w/ 1GiB of ram serving me nextdns under docker + playing a live stream 24/7 (via yt-dlp/ffplay) and it does its job just nicely.

Nice cherry picking/moving the goalpost, but that is not how refuting works. A PC at NASA has a much higher "threat level" than my Orange pi zero 3, just chilling on the background. Which means, a potential "security hole" may prove harmful for these pcs... but it'll definitely not hurt me in the slightest.

And before you parrot with other links and/or excuses... yes, I'm not negating their existence. I'm just saying they are there... but, well... "who cares"? If anything, its much faster to set up my distro back up "just like never happened before" than performing any "maintenance" whatsoever. Again, "Common sense antivirus" reigns supreme here -- know what you are doing, and none of these things will matter.

Something in the line of https://gitlab.com/ananicy-cpp/ananicy-cpp ?

Well, procbal does not need any configuration whatsoever -- just run it with the command you want, and its working. Just like that. Plus, dynamic adjustment trumps static rules—procbal reacts live to CPU/memory spikes while ananicy does not. Also, a proper, dynamic nice adjustment means more free resources for other commands running on the background. Which can also mean "free" performance depending of how "potato" is your pc.

All you have to do is to install "Common sense antivirus", pretty much.

Comparing a PC maintenance to leaving the keys outside the front door is too dramatic, to not say the least...

...unless you work at NASA and/or your PC is holding something too valuable/sensitive/high-priority for others to want to hack it "that badly" -- which I (highly) doubt it.

You simply don't do any maintenance whatsoever.

t. Got a arch linux install that I (rarely) perform "sudo pacman -Syu --noconfirm" and it works like a champ.

I was about to say that you should learn the "ins and outs" of Linux first before choosing a distro until I've noticed these part(s) of your post.

I’ve been toying with Linux on and off for almost 20 years now.

I’m comfortable in the command line

20 years is more than enough time for a user to use Linux properly. And with that in mind, well... you are overthinking it -- just go with whatever you want, really.

"The saying goes “if you’re not paying for the product, you are the product” —unless open-source, I tend to add if I hear someone say it! Alas, Mozilla’s recent faux-pas suggests that even noble projects aren’t immune to the shiny glint of ick."

...I don't know if we should embrace proprietary like that just because "firefox did it".

If you have lower standards, even a $10 arm pc can be "mainstream".

Just buy a minipc and use it solely for gaming on Windows if you really need to game.

Just updated the code so all new testament books are being fetched properly. (It wasn't the case when I posted this at first glance.)

-EDIT- Updated the code again due to some old testament books not being properly fetched -- should be g2g now.

-EDIT2- Added a way to scroll between chapters. -NOW- it is g2g.

Fixed some minors annoyances and some books -stll- not being properly fetched.

Truth be told, most folks aren't interested in having a conversation with strangers on the internet -- but "use" em as a scapegoat for their personal/irl issues. With that said, the logic behind "downvote-happy" users is simply, "Have this downvote because I'm feeling like shiz and I must downvote you so I can feel a false sense of superiority/intelligence over you and feel less like shiz.".
