Did anyone else read it as "vi bing" at first?

I'm still a noob when it comes to linux, so I'm stuck with this error message. Can anyone help me with this?

Stuck? You didn't even paste the error in a search engine or you would have found the solution in less time than it took you write this sentence.

Inb4 Mozilla dies because the lead of the AI development division is the ex-ceo who followed up massive layoffs with doubling her multi-milion salary every few years.

Or, you know, a marketing company that develops a browser maybe bought an ad

Instead of thinking up new ways for them to make money, maybe think why they've got money issues.

Maybe it's got something to do with the different CEOs doubling their multi-milion salaries every few years.

Or maybe their numerous idiotic acquisitions like the pocket.

Or maybe they're super strapped for cash because they moved their fuckhead of a CEO to AI development.

I love FF, but fuck Mozilla and everything it represents.

Also, fun stats from the moz corp wiki:

• Revenue in 2023: $653 million
• Software development expenses in 2023: $260 million
• Total expenses in 2023: $496 million

I initially tried guix -> switched to nix with home-manager because it's got a lot better repos -> installed all user packages through nix on Debian -> nixos

Before nixos I used flatpaks for some packages because nixgl seems abandoned.

Why are you even running arch at that point, for the DE updates?

Try googling something like "how to make a VPN server"

Human communication 101: sometimes humans ask a question without expecting an answer, it's called a rhetorical question

Most mainstream OSes have GUI for anything you'd need to do as a novice.

And how is Linux any different?

I've literally had a non-technical person who used Linux for less than a week fix an issue through the xfce gui while I was googling a solution.

You just need to choose a correct distro and DE for the job.

More like a restaurant that has Korean BBQ / hot pot on the menu. Most meals are completely prepared, but for some you need to do a small part yourself.

I get that for sure, but you can still use it only for specific tasks like org-mode LaTeX. It was literally made by some astronomer/astrophysicist to make writing LaTeX easier.

Come to the evil side, we have org-mode

vim user

LaTeX user

When you go to the wrong side

Well, I guess I'm off to read the fkin wiki now.

You can always install an arch derivative like endeavour instead and click through the wizard

Multiple accounts, offline backup, better UI, don't need to log in, etc.

I thought emacs was all about ctrl + ?.

It is, but you have gui features

I use Emacs and neovim. Each is better in different scenarios.

Vim and emacs usually run in the terminal and require keyboard commands to complete actions.

It is most certainly not usual to run Emacs in the terminal.

although of course it's possible to use keyboard commands.

And you can use Emacs with a mouse.

I mean, it's an IBM ThinkPad, it is slow. Linux just makes it usable.
