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.
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
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
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.
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
Because you’re arbitrarily restricting yourself to old versions of tools and software. The idea is you don’t want unexpected conflicts to bring down your system. But, what that means is when you do go to upgrade on something like a server, you would test the whole thing on the new version, and then migrate. That’s not how people use desktops. You just feel like one day upgrading from 20.04 to 20.10, and then get a massive burst of differences. It’s really hard to pin down what specifically goes wrong when something does.
So unless you have a staging environment for your desktop where you test the new version before migrating, then what is the purpose of running old versions of stuff?
