Based on my understanding, Fedora will be unaffected but Rocky & Alma are in some hot water along with Scientific Linux. RHEL is based on Fedora while the others are based on RHEL.
Just because I’m interested in the hole NixOS thing, I was wondering how much difference there is between NixOS and Guix, I know I’ve spun both up in a VM and while they are similar, Guix is different enough that I can’t find the main config file. So can someone give me a quick description of the difference?
I wish there was a better way to judge the lightness of full desktop environements than just ram consumption, because speed and smoothness can vary greatly regardless of ram, so we know whether of not it runs well on shitty laptop, lxqt being no faster than xfce in my experience is pretty telling of that
Maybe you should search for some rolling release distribution. I’m using Arch since many years and am quite happy with it. You rarely have to build anything yourself. Only if you have to use the AUR.
In my opinion: Yay for people not tech savy, so they can’t bork their system, and it prevent most malware to do damages. Or for special devices, like the Steam Deck!
Nay for thinkerer like me, if I want to uninstall the boot loader, I need the option!!
Mostly aesthetically, but also since Linux Mint is a very stable distro updates are usually slow and the packages it uses are often a little outdated. If you're the type of person to want to update to the newest thing as soon as it's out, then it's probably not for you.
The crash started apparently out-of-the-blue, hitting thousands of Argentinian users on a Debian-based distro called Huayra, and specifically on version 5 which was based on Debian 10.
Everybody seemed to crash while searching for images on Google.
Google’s code was allocating 20000 variables in a single frame.
Dedicate a set amount of time when you only use the cli to accomplish things. Pick simple, low risk things like cleaning up unneeded downloads in your downloads directory. Start with one file then try wildcards, brace expansion and regex.
View logs and grep to find specific events. Investigate (read only) what type of data is provided under different directories under /.
Use online resources to learn a scripting language, bash is convenient to start with, as it’s a common default shell and can be used for scripting. Learning bash can translate to one liners and eventually scripts.
This is a good resource, but I would recommend to not read it like a book, but maybe investigate sections of interest after you get a feel for some of the early topics: tldp.org/LDP/Bash-Beginners-Guide/html/
