I had Gentoo as primary for 6 months. 6 months of an unusable computer always compiling.

Indiana bit of LFS and while I didn't get to a full desktop, it helped a lot.

Well, Slackware was a main distro two or three decades ago. I give you that. Il pretty sure that's what I installed when I installed my first Linux mid/early 99's.

Gentoo has always been niche.

I'm very choosy with AUR. I know people hail it as the holy grail but the lack of vetting makes it "delicate".

This is, in the best of cases, what's being packaged hasn't been properly tested. In the worst, you really need to read the package file and understand it enough to confirm you can trust the sources or risk being surprised.

In that thought experiment there are more scenarios. Remembering that stepping on a butterfly can change... This is, small input changes can have big repercussions down the line.

You cannot assume what Linux would be in that scenario.

Who knows if it would have been colored by a main corporation.

Capitalism would have found a way to leverage it and new computers would be sold.

So, it's the worst for you and still the best for others, right?

Arch is the worst because... And the best because...

Same with every other.

In fact I'd argue that every single distro is the best for at least one person.

More, if you read between the lines.

So, you really think that a new CEO will act any differently? No lives were saved. The problem is the system. Not an individual CEO.

You don't understand that criticizing hypocrisy is not the hypocritical part?

The criticism is not that they go on grinder. It is that they go in grinder while being publicly homophobic.

To be fair the idiots are the followers. They are very smart scammers.

Skipped the gym? Not the Christ depicted in so many churches where he looks like an Olympic gymnast, 6 pack and all.

I don't like unmatching cutlery. Every fork needs to be the same style and bent at the same angle so they can "spoon" neatly in the drawer. (Yes, incorrect the bend when I see one who deviates) What kind of monster do you think I am.

In fact, that's why my wife and I live in different apartments. Her drawer loons like the thrift shop cutlery box. 😱

Edit: I'm just reading that people consider forks "bad" when the times are unaligned. It's quite easy to align them. I check them after each wash. Using a knife to slightly bend them in place does the trick.

I always wonder what happened to forks in other houses where they are all bent. Do people chew on them?

What did you think I asked about Windows?

 

I see so many people claiming that windows is crap and that's why they moved to Linux.

That got me thinking: I can no longer have an opinion in the matter. I haven't used Windows at home since 2004. I used it at work until the beginning of 2019 but someone else maintained it, since then, I haven't had the need to touch windows.

Whether good or bad, I feel I'm not as knowledgeable as I was.

Well, actually, two years ago I cleaned up and "revived" my dad's desktop which was taking two minutes to boot and about the same time to open the first app. After installing an SSD and a couple of hours of clean-up, it was as fast as new. I guess with proper maintenance it can be good enough. However, isn't it the main criticism about Linux? That you "need to know" to use it?

People complain about Linux drivers, but as far as I remember, it was quite common that new versions of Windows dropped old drivers and your perfectly good printer/scanner/video card/etc. became a paperweight. Is that still the case?

 

It seems that CK message got to me. Somehow, I don't feel empathy.

Have you reflected on that? The less empathy you feel, the more you are honouring his memory.

And the more you celebrate the way he died, the more his message stays true.

Weird. This started as a shitpost and then got serious.

I chose to try to feel empathy for his children and still denounce gun violence and lack of action to stop it.
