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.

For 2 million in Vancouver you’re living in a cardboard box

Yeah, if there’s anything that history and economics tells us, is that capitalism leads to less choice, whereas communism leads to many choices tailored to everyone individually

I’m not pretending anything, I had a great pandemic

How they fixed it…

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.

Wow. What an enlightened centrist take. All views are valid, great take

it’s

This is the one that kills me. Why does it correct its to it's? Wtf?

How slow do you type? Also Swype seems to get worse and worse every year. If I start on a character, you can be pretty sure I meant that character. Some of what it decides is fucking absurd

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

Yes it does. It means it’s 72% hot, because most human environmental temperatures that you experience are from 0 to 100

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

Requiring logging in to unsubscribe is absolutely bullshit. I mark all emails as spam that don’t automatically unregister with ONLY clicking a lick. I’m not providing my email, I’m not logging in.

Not just database migrations as others have mentioned, but database state. Databases can result in a lot of dead data, because of how transactions and locks work. Cleaning that up can cause usage of the database to be blocked for a short time. It’s easiest to do this periodically if there’s down time

How is the temperature that water boils (at standard pressure mind you) relevant to you? How is knowing that number important in your day to day life?

100% serious and this is a hill in willing to die on

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

Are you water worried about boiling? When is 100 relevant to you as a human?

Where is freezing in Celsius? Because it’s very unlikely to be 0 where you happen to be at any given time.

Water boiling is totally irrelevant to what we care about as humans living in an environment
