Honestly if you’re not planning on programming, why should you need to know how to use the terminal?
I get that it is incredibly useful, but I don’t think it should be a requirement for anyone just trying to use their PC. I think the prevalence of Linux terminal workflows is just a reflection of the user base: mostly coders.
Oh my god finally. Can’t wait for this to hit nixpkgs.
First time I heard it was in the Disney Channel original movie You Wish!
The song was an instant classic IMO. Did not need Terry Crews’ help, though I am glad he also enjoys it.
I was about to say; how does OP leave out Sutherland Springs. 26 murdered and 22 injured!
Linus needs to chill. Let him Cook.
The Servo project has been revived BTW. It’s still not usable as a main browser, but the devs are active.
What are you talking about? FAFO obviously stands for “fill asshole full of”. Like FAFO dicks. Or FAFO pennies.
I’m only familiar with “spectrum” from linear algebra (spectral theory), but I’m not sure that’s how people intend to use the word “spectrum” in this context haha.
I’m perfectly happy to build my own NAS with NixOS and ZFS on it. I think it’s mostly a matter of getting the right hardware.
My biggest shortcoming at the moment is my NAS is also my gaming PC. It’s pretty inefficient to have that on all the time. But I haven’t had the time to build a dedicated NAS.
More like fiveskin am I right?
If being asked to confirm that you have not committed war crimes makes you uncomfortable, then you might be a war criminal.
I’m pretty sure Japan’s immigration asks if you’ve ever been convicted of a crime, so how is this any different?
I think what many people really need to feel confident switching to linux is an expert who is willing to guide them through it and offer support.
Ben, you should smile more. You look prettier when you smile.
Honestly I have no idea what the main point of this video is.
EDIT: I watched it again. I think they’re basically saying:
Stop worrying about the wrapping paper and bow that Linux comes in, and start worrying more about the actual desktop Linux platform.
I don’t think we have to choose one over the other though. And I don’t think it’s a waste of time to make the experience of managing software packages and customization better. I’m not necessarily talking about “ricing” your desktop. There are legitimate reasons to prefer certain software modules over others, e.g. window managers and compositors.
It’s also pretty annoying to hear them downplay the effort that goes into package management and configuration when it’s one of the main technologies that goes into crafting Linux images for various environments e.g. servers and embedded systems. Desktops are actually a small minority of Linux systems.
So I guess I only agree that it would be nice to have more investment in the desktop software. But there’s far less incentive for companies to invest in desktop software when developers are happy on MacBooks and the products they’re building are mostly web services. There are a handful of companies building desktop Linux software, but it’s slow going.
I would understand the extreme pushback on this if this made a priest go to hell.
I wouldn’t. Religion shouldn’t get a fucking hall pass for arbitrarily bad shit because “we don’t want to go to the scary place we made up.”
You read this in a very specific Italian American voice.

Spy Fox was the best from Humongous IMO. Ms Monkey Penny?!? Hilarious. And I played that space bullet hell game soooo much.
