When you do a dist-upgrade on anything but the stable main repos, you’re on your own.

Is that a question!

They’re still on Xitter, though.

Me too.

That’s how I learned it. My dad got tired, let go and stopped.
I noticed it was suddenly much easier to pedal, so I turned around to see him standing 30ft behind me, then I crashed.

Does Morgan Freeman run on Wine?

In the Battles of Xing and Lin-Kedin

At my job I run what my employer wants me to run. I get paid for it, they get to decide the OS.
But at home I’ve been running Linux since 2006.

Nooo, one day I’ll have the time to build my writing utensil repair business.
And then I’ll need the domain penisbroken.com

Endeavour is great but it’s not simply Arch with an installer. Quite a few things are configured differently under the hood.

Why do I keep reading it as “and I forgot I wasn’t human”?

On a side note, this non-descript general advice at the end of the article “The discovery of these vulnerabilities in the Citrix Workspace app for Windows underscores the importance of maintaining robust cybersecurity measures.” is obvious LLM speech.
And the fact that nowadays, running a CVD through ChatGPT and publishing the results is a thing people do fucking triggers me.

Debian. I run Stable on servers and Unstable on desktops.
Although I do think OpenSUSE Tumbleweed and Arch are actually better in some aspects, I find Tumbleweed too rough around the edges (it’s a derivative of Leap and that shows). And I just can’t be bothered to install and configure Arch anymore. Fedora and Ubuntu are too buggy on average, Mint is too “stable” for a desktop and I don’t use all the helpers that make it newbie-friendly. Slackware suffers from issues that were solved in the Linux world decades ago, and I dislike derivative distros on principle.

I’ve probably tried around 30-40 distros and I always return to Debian.

I’ve used Linux for 20 years now, and yes the experience was similar to back then.
But back then, there wasn’t a better FOSS option. Now there’s modern Linux.
Don’t get me wrong, I think BSD is a great system. It’s just not the right OS for a new-ish convertible laptop.

I tried FreeBSD on a laptop.
It spammed error messages all over the installer’s TUI until I disabled my fingerprint reader in BIOS.
Then I had to patch and recompile the kernel to get it to talk to my laptop’s battery sensor.
Then there were half a dozen other issues I solved one by one, like getting the touchpad and the camera to work, and auto-detecting my networked printer/scanner.
Then I read up on why WiFi is so unbearably slow, and the solution was to pass-through a WiFi driver from inside a Linux VM.

I didn’t actually notice any end-user advantage of having a “fully integrated system” either, so I gave up and went back to Linux.

AI Chat bots copy/paste much of their “training data” verbatim.

Still nearly no one here owns a gun.

If you’re speaking about Germany, leave the city, talk to some older folks.
You’d be surprised

They are virtually banned.

There is about as much regulation around guns as around cars in Germany. The license, tax and insurance costs much less for guns, and no one fails the required test unless they point the gun at an instructor.
No one would claim cars are banned.

Guns aren’t banned in any first world country.
Just more regulated.

Regards, a German gun owner.

How does it handle it when services or the OS need a restart after an upgrade?
