I mean I know how to choose a distro and there’s no way in hell I’d ever use that chart to choose one. In addition I don’t really need to ask my wife because I can guarantee she wouldn’t read a single line of it.

It’s not a hypothesis that the reason people don’t switch to Linux is because it’s too difficult for the layperson. If you give them a flowchart that’s larger than any flowchart they’ve ever seen before, before they even touch the operating system, there’s no way in hell they’re gonna use Linux.

Huh? A new user is going to have trouble understanding the base difference between gnome and kde. Flooding them with information about the history of all these operating systems will do nothing except to scare them off even more.

For a new person it’s useless. For anyone distro surfing why wouldn’t you just use distro Watch?

Six months ago??? People were saying to use mint back then too, like every thread. I understand it’s completely based on your hardware but you can understand how it’s hard to trust anyone saying mint right? On the other hand CachyOS and Garuda both work really hard to make sure every hardware config works properly.

Idk. I was making a joke though. A history of Linux chart is functionally useless for actually choosing a distro.

It was 6 months ago when I finally switched to Linux. I tested several distros. Zorin and Mint both had numerous, numerous problems.

Nvidia 3080. No clue what kernel version, just installed the default from the website (full install, not a live image).

I just have to assume you’re a troll at this point. That graphic is not helpful at all to anyone except those that care about the history of Linux. For everyone else it’s useless. I was making a joke about how one of the distros I use isn’t on there. I don’t know the history of my distro and honestly do not care. Any noob also would not care.

lol no. Completely failed to run 90% of my games and had audio popping no matter what I did with pulsewire or whatever. If a noob encounters that they’re never using Linux again.

You’ve completely missed the point. If you’re new to Linux you have no clue what those are and shouldn’t care.

Doesn’t even have CachyOS. Smh

So now imagine that penetrating an entire company now just involves sending the right email to the new AI CEO.

lol get wrecked felon

For anyone coming later, I’d actually add a section between where you explain commands for the first time and where you explain their flags or at minimum directly after the flag section. The section should explain how commands are found, how the PATH works and where the majority of binaries on a Linux system are located. Knowing that will allow a reader to immediately understand how simple a shell is and how people are always able to write their own scripts for stuff.

~/dev

~/dev/oss

~/dev/work

~/dev/personal

Awww. It’s so cute. Fantastic photos!

You can run it all locally if you want…. They’re just docker containers. Set up a docker compose and docker compose up

You don’t even need a single app, just run it with docker compose

Holy shit. That is terrible.

But it doesn’t really matter how bad it is, if you asked them to do something and they ignored it that’s inexcusable unless it’s illegal or breaking code. Doesn’t matter if you asked them to use a fucking 30” old growth log.

I don’t know what common practice is regarding that adjustable support. We have one similar that’s holding up our entire basement ceiling lol, but it looks like it was built that way with the house. Doesn’t look good but I’m guessing it’s fine.

Any reason not to use https://github.com/VERT-sh/VERT?

No… because more people would be working on it.
