I think honestly it is the incentives of streaming and how the media works.

> The installer is a plain *sh script. You simply ctrl+c to break out and return to the shell, then run "install" to start the script again I ended up in situation where that wasn'…

Similar thing with the disk layout happened to me in a VM. I just did auto layout and one of the partitions were so small I couldn't install any other software. I ended up remaking…

I don't believe you (you put the winky face after what you said) and I suspect you are just being contrarian for the sake of it.

False. There is some config required (these are in the READMEs that are in each package that specified what options need setting) and BTW some of it doesn't work on supported hardw…

> Super happy for you, you found your OS and that's fine, That isn't what I said. I said that Linux is easier than BSD for a desktop and there is no real reason why that should be …

> With that level of nit picking everything is off and there is no OS / DE with zero inconsistencies. It isn't nitpicking. Those are like quite noticeable and actually quite bad. B…

> It's really a YOU problem, i have working X on all my machines, have a good day. Not at all. I can read the man pages and docs fine. Stuff like this should work out of the box by…

Yes it was really annoying. I was using one of the Chromium forks and Chrome used to sneak onto the machine unless you vigilante. It felt like the bad old days of shareware and bon…

I had totally forgotten about a Chrome download being sneaked into applications. It used a number of dark patterns like having the "install chrome" tickbox being light grey on top …

I like using perplexity itself. However them forcing their browser everywhere is annoying. Also Gleen Greenwald will shill absolute any old nonsense. I used to watch his occasional…

> And that's perfectly fine, i would also never criticize people who just buy a Mac, some people are just interested in different stuff. I used to be an operating system enthusiast…

> Like what places, and how are they pretty easy to screw up on? I'm genuinely curious, as to me it's the cleanest and most straight-forward console installer I've ever experienced…

I haven't touched Gentoo in 20 years. If you use archinstall as I said you can be up and running in 20 minutes on a fast connection. You literally just state what you want setup th…

The main limitation of the engine is you couldn't have room over room. There is definitely three dimensions when playing the game.

No problem.

I did the LFS build with SysV init scripts. I think there is a systemd version of LFS. LFS was a good learning exercise to see generally how everything was put together. I wouldn't…

> Hard disagree, the Openbsd installer is the gold standard to which all other installers compare poorly. No not really. I recently took my friend through it and there is several p…

I used to use it at University after one of the guys I was in labs with was using it for his daily driver. The first release I tried was 3.8. It was quite a shock coming from SuSE …

I am not too bothered about it. I only use it every other day for about 3 minutes to heat up some porridge. I keep on meaning to buy a new Microwave, I bought it in ASDA 15 years a…

Yeh. I'm used to using old version of RHEL at work so I ended up learning how to deal with slow moving distros. I use the OS as a base system and most of the stuff that needs to be…

If I turn my kettle or microwave on in my kitchen it will kill any bleutooth or wifi signal. My microwave is getting on for 15 years old, maybe newer ones are better, but the kettl…

Yes. I agree. Gnome is kinda weird OOTB. I ended up installing Dash To Dock and Ubuntu App Indicator Icons when I was using it and I ended up with something decent. I also usually …

> I agree with your assessment of KDE lacking "taste". Imo, it looks like a system designed by engineers, not designers. TBF, I was linked their more up to date screenshots in a si…
