I was using Ubuntu and Linux Mint more than a decade ago, then I switched to Debian, so I guess I skipped most of this curve, lol.

For me it’s like:

• PulseAudio - Bluetooth Audio doesn’t work
• PipeWire - Audio sometimes work, sometimes not. Reboot and figure it out.

Literally me. One time I was asked “What is happiness” or some other similar shit. It’s not like I think about stuff like that at regular basis, lol.

Kolorpaint is decent if you don’t care about layers.

How do you do any kind of work without having layers?

It is, but most modern software doesn’t work at all in Wine. I have 2 apps (Paint.net, and SketchUp Make 2017) which don’t have any real alternatives (or they suck) for Linux and they don’t work in Wine.

It’s Windows. You don’t need a license to run it. I mean you should have it, but it won’t suddenly stop working like in old days.

Ah, the zoomer distributions /s

Whatever works for other people I guess. A good Linux administrator is a person who can work with the default configuration on their OS, and I am trying to be that person and eventually learning inside-outs of systemd.

Me: kill -9 $$

It’s only a joke btw.

Imagine going back in time thinking you will be able to get the same partner but earlier, but after like few minutes of conversation it turns out that the other person thinks you are a fucking creep and doesn’t want to have anything to do with you ever. It would be a fucking nightmare.

I wouldn’t spend so much fucking time on a fucking computer… maybe.

I don’t think they do anymore with trixie, which is a bit surprising.

Although to be honest it makes sense, given how cheap you can buy relatively new computer nowadays.

I don’t think there’s any reason to use rmdir unless you write (Ba)sh scripts, and you want to make sure that the directory is indeed empty. Just use rm -r.

Also note that you can use rmdir -p this/is/some/path to remove all nested directories including the parent (this here). But this will only work if there’s exactly one directory per parent directory, and the last directory doesn’t have any files (including directories). This might be helpful for some scripts.

rmdir -r isn’t a thing, because that would invalidate the reason this command exists.

That works, unless you mistype the file name, and delete some unrelated directory by mistake.

alias emacs='fail; vim'

Linux is great for two kinds of people:

• Ones who only use web browser, and maybe listen to music/watch movies on their computer (so probably majority of people);

• Ones who have time and energy to tinker with their computer, because doing anything that’s beyond the before-mentioned tasks will eventually make user do CLI stuff, to fix shit.

I mean, there are only two three realistic options (four if you are that one BSD user):

• Either you use Windows and let Microsoft spy on you (or rely on unbloating scripts which might eventually break your OS and not even block all Microsoft spyware in the first place);

• You buy overpriced Mac computer, that might also spy on you, who knows;

• You use Linux.

I completely forget that this should be a feature.

You mean Certified UNIX 03 operating system, and only when you modify the system so much, that it becomes unusable.

Non-corporate users use Ubuntu? Last time I tried it, I have encountered bugs on day one, and I nearly instantly switched to random distro with KDE (openSUSE, which also I dislike btw).

Also I have very ‘fond’ memories of using it in about 2011-2013 where the program crashing message is burnt into my mind, because how often it appeared, and sometimes even the error reporting tool was crashing for some reason.
