Just pick a distro. It sounds like you want to learn. I suggest arch. It does the least for you, is the least opinionated, but also has by far the best documentation (arch wiki is the de facto linux documentation).

The difference between the distros is otherwise simply what package management tool they use, and what packages are in their repository. Nothing else is different that’s of any importance.

No don’t you understand? No one has ever had a bad experience under communism

a robust charging connector

Wtf? Usb-c charging is the best thing that’s happened to laptops this decade. You’re insane to want to go back to the bad times.

That’s the whole point of an LTS distro. And it’s why non-rolling distros for desktop OSes make no sense

This is a perfectly civil question that is intended to make the author think about what they’re reading in the future, rather than spoon feed pure information

Why would having the build files exist suggest the package exists?

The backslash is escaping the space, and the forward slash is just how tab complete works, because it’s a directory, and you might be wanting to add more to go further down the directory tree

These are mostly terrible. Shells have built in history search

I don’t mean control from the perspective of someone posting data. I mean from the perspective of the server owner.

It depends what you mean by inefficient. It’s very efficient if you’re optimizing for robustness and control of data.

It’s because those are terrible ideas. You’d trust your life to a fingerprint censor or nfc nonsense? I sure as fuck wouldn’t

Are you suggesting this was caused by an accident due to insufficient safety devices?

What does paying for anything have to do with what we’re talking about here. They’re ingesting freely available content, that anyone with a web browser could read

I don’t see how that’s relevant. A company can pay someone to read copyrighted work, learn from it, and then perform a task for the benefit of the company related to the learning.

What’s the basis for this? Why can a human read a thing and base their knowledge on it, but not a machine?
