Same. It doesn’t do crazy fancy things, and just works. But then I’ve long since given up on my phone doing any fancy things. I’m fine with it being boring. The only thing I want is folders on the main screen and a couple widgets.

All roll models have to be in the wheel group.

Lord of the Trackers!

Well people diss Hetzner too, but I haven’t really had any issues with them either. So maybe reputations aren’t always something to go by.

What’s this warning thing? (for those of us far outside of the Apple ecosphere)

Cool, I’ve always wanted to get back into Perl.

Ionos used to be 1&1 which had a fairly poor reputation. Not sure what it’s become nowadays. Apparently they haven’t gotten much better.

We’ll just train an AI from his mailing list posts and continue as usual.

I still have a cool laptop (with Mandrake and kde) with 192 megs of memory somewhere.

But why?

You don’t, it’s just more convenient. And according to the windows people, it’s the same thing there (except fewer people know how to use the terminal because it’s so arcane).

The problem is that apart from a handful of geeks (a lot of which tend to gather on sites like this one), nobody is interested in computers. Which admittedly has consequences since computers are definitely interested in them. But then getting people interested in anything nowadays isn’t very easy.

They also did that stuff with DR-DOS, they’ve been pulling dirty tricks with all their competition since the beginning with little or no consequences.

And people whine because their laptops sometimes don’t work with Linux when it’s actually a fucking miracle that almost all machines currently work flawlessly despite all the hardware having been specifically designed to be hostile to anything that isn’t Windows.

Yes, that’s the point of the shell. It’s the glue for all the little tools.

Heretic!

I thought Borderlands was lots of fun, but not four games (for now) and a movie (for now) worth of fun. Even two games was pushing it a bit. You can only stretch things out so much.

It might be possible, but you can be sure that Apple made it as inconvenient as they technically could. They try their best to lock everyone in. You’re probably better off getting some kind of Apple box to manage those machines.

vi is so outdated, we use viii now. You’re two versions behind!

Op: I run Definite Linux btw!
Well, it probably still runs, although some recent hardware will be unsupported.

Tumbleweed absolutely is an all purpose distribution. Most distributions are. Very few are specialised enough to make a difference.

And they really mostly all install the same thing in the end. It doesn’t matter which one you choose. Just pick something that’s not obscure and that has a release cycle that works for you.

For kde, I’d say that the best maintained ones are suse, fedora and kubuntu, in that order (although with the latter you still get Ubuntu, so ymmv).
