So yeah. Not that ‘Zionist’ is a slur

Edit: Really, shitty censorship bot? We’re adulterating URLs now, and selectively only that specific slur? Gross on both counts

While not exactly a bouncer, I like Quassel

Make 'em require an online patch to be playable after first install.

Actually, I should shut the fuck up, they might actually hear me

This is just for him to get a basic feel for the various distros, before choosing one to permanently install; setting up a VM properly is probably going to be too technical

Well I use key-based login for security; obscurity just keeps the network congestion down

So, uh…link?

You can use any port for ssh. When I switched from 22 to 1337, brute force attempts at logging in stopped

maybe we as a society could standardize fridge sizes so we could build fridges that open on the inside but radiate on the outside

That would be more useful for places where houses are generally air conditioned

devices with an x86_64 architecture

Sounds like the opposite of what you want; you would want x86_64 code on devices with an ARM architecture.

But I didn’t actually read the article, so maybe that line is poorly worded

Nice

an entire separate computer system we call a ‘console’

I get it; I even tend to like their consoles. The Switch is fantastic for what it is, when it came out (though admittedly: I am more likely to buy a Steam Deck than a Switch 2, at least as of now, not knowing the Switch 2’s specs).

But either sell an x86 build, or get over emulators. Or develop a taste for my favourite cocktail, if you can’t pick between the other two options

Right?

If they hate emulators so much, why aren’t they selling native x86 versions?

You could, but you wouldn’t

I use NTFS with Linux a lot, and have for years. The only issue I’ve ever had was Linux not being able to recover it properly after unsafely disconnecting it, but Windows fixed it just fine

Fair; that was mostly a general warning, not necessarily directed at you, because many people do copypaste terminal commands without knowing what they are actually doing.

As long as you understand what a command does, absolutely go for it. No point typing that shit out when somebody else already has

Do not copy and paste into Bash if you don’t understand the commands you’re pasting in

This is the biggest thing. I’m very comfortable in Bash, but that is not the norm; the second my wife needs to run sudo apt get, she’s out, fuck that

It’s probably the standard in both POSIX and the Single UNIX Specification, so I guess ask Ken Thompson?

LxQt is nice, it is barebones like Xfce, but built on the Qt framework like KDE. Xfce uses GTK, like GNOME.

I specifically like Xfce or LxQt, because I generally run older hardware; I suppose my biggest question is how easily I could use either (not overly picky about which). I’m not sure which desktop environment LMDE defaults to, but both Gnome and KDE are deal-breakers for me, unless it’s easily changeable.

I don’t have that problem on my actual Debian machines, because they’re headless anyways, there is no desktop environment at all
