Fair enough. LLMs and even Google have nuanced drawbacks, I personally try to give the creator of software some say into its usage simply because the intended usage is better tested than any changes I may need in the future.

At the and of the day learning is key.

Don't worry, its made for you to pick it up as you go. Make sure you familiarize yourself with the 3-2-1 backup principles first. The idea that your data survives regardless of anything that may happen is important. You (and I trust me) will bork things and accidentally erase precious data. Be prepared to recover from that. Simple solutions you understand and test > complex info secondhand.

You ddint ask but I will mention you shouldn't encrypt anything yet that you dont have to. Also use as little software as possible I.e. stay away from github repos.

I haven't had that experience. More often than not I've found properly made software breaks in ways that tell you why. I seem to get stuck going in a circle of doom with llms.

I believe putting in the effort to understand the man format is a great start. Man was made to be helpful and nearly universal.

I second the idea of breaking down the commands mentally and understanding how CLI really works. You don't need to go super deep but some stuff like $PATH and general bash or zsh will 100% make everything a breeze. These are tools like swinging a hammer you have to learn the motion.

Fair enough.

Its a lot more rewarding than choking on a small carrot.

You're not wrong, If it best suits needs AGLPv3 is swallowable.

I like to see this.

This is not my experience out of the box (in debian so not truly a comparison) on legacy hardware. (Which shouldn't be running win 11 anyways).

We are definitely most of the way there with proton but game devs/publishers have a lot of room of improvement.

GPL3

Lol sire about that?

UN security concil vetos are really interesting because it is like saying "I have nukes, and I disagree and could nuke you or we can stop this motion".

At least it can be proposed.

Oh I'm sure it will, Africa is renowned for wealth building and good stewardship of foreign investment. Nothing like a dictatorship, warlords, military juntas would pilfer funds from it first chance they got.

Windows is great if you don't care about privacy, performance, stability, longevity, freedom, ownership, community, etc.

There's Microsoft windows and there's Linux. No single person owns Linux so there are so many different options to use (called distros) the big ones Debian, Fedora, Arch, OpenSUSE, Etc package open source software on top of Linux that enable you to use it as easily as possible.

To a 25yo I would say, a computer has many separate devices like USB controllers, sound devices, so many independent systems that need software to work. Such software is copyrighted, it turns out the community does not like that so they made their own that is owned by the community. Sometimes its not perfect but it also can do things you couldn't before.

Never seen a more beautiful shiner.

In this economy? I'm sure its worth it but $70 is $70.

Neat! Punishing conspiracy and engineered lying is a good thing!

Cloud based solutions in selfhosted are a hilarious suggestion.

I would suggest avoiding anything that is a "community" or "personal use only". If its not fully open its not worth it.
