The other post reply here came close enough. With the suggestion to use: tree --fromfile -a with grep. I’m still not fast enough with emacs to do stuff like this efficiently. I get lost in the documentation and do not use emacs daily.

17·21 days agoSendex is like the goto guy for lots of older AI stuff.
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCfzlCWGWYyIQ0aLC5w48gBQHe quit posting regularly around a year ago, but wrote the book on building models from scratch. He has one of the Chinese humanoid robots… The level of software needed to make that thing do anything useful is a giant ask. We’re a long way away from Daneel and Dors, or Herbie for that matter. I only mention it because this is a no nonsense guy messing around on his own and making no attempts to market or up sell. IIRC he spent around $60k for his and it was like the minimum working option someone could buy from the USA. Still I never thought I would see someone like this with a humanoid robot. While obviously he has money and all, he seems like a down to earth normal dude.
Submissive and Breed Lol, good for you.
All distros have niche purposes, but most components are compatible.
As an abstract concept, Linux From Scratch is like ultimate god mode. That walks you through everything in extraordinarily overwhelming fashion to build a operating system from scratch.
Gentoo is like LFS on easy mode with a package manager to help you stay on top of a working system. It is still like maybe demigod mode. The main thing with Gentoo is that you have access to compiling everything from source, so you can integrate any changes you would like to make to packages within the package manager.
If you understand a UNIX operating system on a LFS/Gentoo level, Arch is like both of these, but with binary packages.
Debian is primarily for a more complete base system with stability where they make long term support kernels. Debian is primarily for creating custom tools on servers and for reverse engineering hardware. Most hardware drivers come from Debian.
Red Hat is the goto for commercial server stuff. Many Kernel maintainers and developers work for Red Hat. Fedora is up stream of Red Hat and has most of the tools from Red Hat. The book The Linux Bible is the goto book for learning IT and networking and is written around Fedora/Red Hat.
So the reason for the bla bla bla is because understanding the purposes of each of the distros will guide you to essential documentation. This is the key to intermediate level Linux; when you understand where to look for information across all distros.
- LFS will walk you through any components in tutorial detail if you can find the entry point and ground your understanding.
- Gentoo is likely to have similar tutorial guides and information that has easier entry points.
- Arch is like the giant warehouse of components. Arch has the wiki which is the principal documentation on the components themselves. What Arch is not, is tutorial. The wiki is an encyclopedia. Use it as such.
- Debian has the bootstrapping stuff and documentation to port onto new hardware or explore.
- Red Hat/Fedora have the information and tools for the kernel and networking. If you want to mess with something like the CPU scheduler or configuring numa architectures, these are the places to look for documentation.
These are general loose guidelines. For your monitor resolution issue, I would start with Gentoo and Arch. I had a similar issue when I tried Arch back around 8-9 years ago, but I do not recall the details and it has probably changed considerably since the X11 to Wayland transition.
Would like to see, but imgur is stalkerware bordering on malware. Sorry this comes across as negative digital neighbor friend. If at all possible, use your instance’s pic rs host, a federated alternative, or other honest and straightforward host.
I know it is hard to care when doing electronics and all of the stalkerware nonsense in that space. I’ve got my own bedroom lab.
