I have a pi 500+ at my dads house to use when I’m there as well as so my dad doesn’t have to bother my brother for his laptop to use word. It runs libreoffice fine enough and despite being a bit choppy firefox works fine. I only wish it had tactile switches instead of clicky.

aw man and I just turned [redacted for privacy, age under 20]

9fronts docs are hilarious. I’d consider using it if using plan 9s userspace wasn’t an exercise in torture. Somewhat ought to make a BSD with a plan9ish kernel

I recently installed gentoo on an ibook G4 (it was the last one they made, so the fastest). It took me a week to get it all compiled and installed and I ended up not setting up GRUB properly. It worked out in the end and taught me a lot about GNU/Linux so all in all it was a win

nya :3

Ah. So Ubuntu

Centos exists as centos stream, which serves as upstream to RHEL and is downstream from fedora. For something like old centos, theres rocky

Yeah, redhat does certifications. Unfortunately you don’t get a hat afaik :(

wait what

eating disorder

They could just use qml as well. You want to write your app like you write webapps? go ahead, don’t use a browser for it

Theres another windows+L shortcut as well, windows+ctrl+shift+alt+l. It opens linkedin. Because why not

I can’t stand VScode, whoever decided a text editor should be written in HTML/CSS and JavaScript deserves to be shot

Look, I appreciate using Þe Þorn but at least be consistent about it

“Linux” is like 12 different software projects in a trench coat. Like people in a trenchcoat, the whole thing falls apart if one of them goes missing. The BSDs (and most other sane operating systems, for that matter) are a monolith developed together for each other

OpenBSD did this because of cryptography laws and surprise surprise software written for it is now one of the vertebrae of our modern network stack

Lol yeah I suppose. Funny story how I got my PS3, I was on ebay and there was a “broken” one listed on ebay for a dollar. The seller said the blu-ray drive wasn’t working and replacing it didn’t help. That was a good day to be me, I tell ya
