Never have I ever piped curl to bash.

This is a question for someone who has played both. What does kitten bring to this type of game that ksp missed?

I guess I just never paid attention to it. My usage of debian goes back thirty years. Like other utterly unimportant facts I am no wiser for having heard it. I pay attention to things that matter.

Not in quite a while. Why would I? I need the ISO every five years or so.

I’ve been using Linux since Slackware. Debian for decades and this is the first time I’ve heard Debian referred to as ‘the universal operating system’.

We are not confused but you are. Quit smelling your own farts long enough to see we don’t want and we are not gonna buy it.

I only own one Samsung TV. Its a really smart TV. Its magnificent. It never switches input which is a good thing since I never need to. This is because it has no built in services of the so called 'smart tv’s"

You always wonder how much support they will have?

My work environment is windows 10. I have KVM installed with a windows 10 VM. I fire it up when I’m working and shut it down the rest of the time.

Paid users?

IBM. The answer is IBM.

Nah. That hasn’t happened and you recommend fedora. If you were really worried about a distro going full microsoft you wouldn’t have mentioned them.

Fedora is IBM. Opensuse is okay but nothing special. Bazzite, I don’t know what that is. I guess everybody has a fringe favorite. Mine is slackware. Debian is okay if you have a bit more experience.

Ubuntu is a simple install with a slick interface and simply works. They get a lot of grief from the distro snobs but for a beginner I can think of no distro better suited.

The most unpopular here is Ubuntu. It is however very stable and has flatpak like things called snaps that everyone hates because its not called flatpak.

Just let me know so I can change my crontabs.

Its some combination of plasma and wayland. I run wayland on a few machines here and there and they are okay. The last bug I encountered with wayland was getting a game emulator working for someone in window mode. No one who responded wanted to do anything other than blame the program for not working with wayland. None of that helps solve a problem. So I solved it by switching to X11 and the program worked okay in window mode.

I looked it up and its fairly common enough but no solution. None that worked anyway. Machine is stable on ubuntu/debian with gnome. I keep having trouble with wayland working right on a some applications as well. Of course all the discussion on these bugs get washed out by the ‘its not waylands fault’ crowd. None of that fanaticism solves problems for me. They can’t even prove their point of view but wont let you discuss the problem.

I tried kde again since it had been five or six years since I tried it. All in all it works but so does gnome. I keep seeing everyone talking about how much trouble it causes but I dont see it in my personal use of it.

In other words if you have a nvidia card you wont be using kde plasma. I installed kde neon at the house and plasma shell would core five or six times a day. I had to switch back to X11 just to get a stable machine. I really need to ditch it and go back to a more stable distro.

I have a old box running armbian and octoprint. Works just fine to allow me to monitor my prints.
