Very pretty!

Yah if it was simple as that in Linux. When the page says do chown 775 xyz , the Linux throes error as can’t modify, then I go down rabbit hole…honestly it’s far from simple

To be able to use chown (Change Owner) you need to have the powers to do so. Your default user does not have such powers when the target is not yet owned by that user. Perhaps you did not use sudo, like sudo chown 775 xyz So I guess the documentation of that software installation howto is lacking specifics for Ubuntu (Ubuntu uses sudo, but e.g. Debian does not do so and defaults to su).

I'd much prefer FreeDOS in that case! :)

Maybe https://bonfirenetworks.org ?

OpenSUSE was actually released long before Arch even existed.

You're basically right but just some historic facts added :

Judd Vinet started the Arch Linux project in March 2002. OpenSUSE : Its development was opened up to the community in 2005, which marked the creation of openSUSE. Before that it was called SUSE Linux, first released in 1994.

Bold :-) openSUSE is based on zypper and rpm. Arch Linux uses its own package system.

p.s. Please replace that Change my mind guy with a Calvin and Hobbes one.

Dunno. Anecdotal, a few years ago pacman appeared to be much faster than apt-get for me. Currently I don't see that very much difference but then again I haven't paid much attention to it.

• Pacman can do parallel downloads (which I haven't tried) : https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/pacman#Enabling_parallel_downloads

😀

Looking forward to see someone creating a TempleOS fork with a Linux Libre kernel in their spare time.

It's still there (apparently archived at Ibiblio) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Groklaw -> http://groklaw.net

I like that comparison a lot. Thanks for sharing.

Cloudron is kind of a freemium product. They offer a few apps (two ?) for free to use. For more apps you need to pay. Their back-end does have a view-source-but-no-edit "open source" license last time I checked. Bu if you want to keep things easy, go for it.

Exactly. And IRC allows one to very quickly ask a tech question via web IRC chat or IRC client without having to sign up somewhere (Discord, Matrix, Mattermost and so on).

Yes.

Thanks for the https://social.bund.de/about link.

I like Vanilla Gnome nowadays and when I want to see a new distro, I just check it out in a VM.

I liked GNOME 3, and first disliked GNOME 4 but with the gnome-tweaks tool (to get the two extra window buttons back) and the easy to enable Night Light feature, I got used to it and appreciate it more and more.

I think Chrunchbang (R.I.P.) was my favorite distro when I was all-in on distro hopping and customizing everything.

btw, there's a new life : https://www.crunchbangplusplus.org/

But at some point for a developer, your OS becomes more of a tool for opening an IDE and/or terminal and you value stability over customization or having the very latest software. In the Flatpak era, that’s even more true since you can run the newest versions regardless of the system.

Agreed.

FYI : The embedded OS in the elevator infrastructure was the [NOT DISCLOSED] OS.

👍 Yeah, I missed that 😐

@InternetIsScary@mstdn.social Yes, they are right. Check your Mastodon settings ?
