Haha yeah that was the counter example I was thinking of. I agree completely
you could make a Gentoo from source beginner distro, and I think you could make it reasonably "idiot proof," but it would still be a bad user experience most likely (too much time spent compiling).
If your distro can't be forked into a "beginner distro" then it's fundamentally flawed IMHO.
To be clear, I've used Arch as my daily drivers for a while, and while it's not the best fit for my needs (I use Debian mostly), there's nothing that I experienced that was incompatible with a "beginner" distro.
Oh absolutely; the folks who sat at home, are outraged that a fascist is in power, and are too dumb to understand how voting works to realize that they enabled it
they are infuriating.
It's kinda a weird take? Like if I'm in a discussion about some scary things AfD are doing and a left-of-center German joins the conversation, I'd like to think I'd have the ability to...you know...hear what they have to say about things.
There are a bunch of Americans who asked for this; there are a bunch who stood by and did nothing to stop it; and there are a bunch who tried to stop it, did not, and are devastated.
I guess at the end of the day it's just a meme.
You can also drop cache for debugging by running something like echo 3 | sudo tee /proc/sys/vm/drop-caches
But remember that the kernel knows best
this RAM will automatically be freed up when needed and you should never run this except for debugging (or maybe benchmarking).
I switched from raspberry pi and orange pi to a cheap Intel NUC, and I think it's just a much nicer experience.
The pi is great fun, but the HW transcoding on a NUC "just works," and the SSD and 16GB RAM opens a lot of doors. My N100 NUC was less than $150, and it included everything (case, power supply, 500GB SSD).
My pi found new life as an off-site backup: attach a big HDD, set up WireGuard, and have a cronjob do daily rsync and snapshots. I have it set up at in-laws, and it works great.
I have one SSID with pihole (which I use), and one without. Works pretty well, if you're ok with a VLAN-aware network.
Dell XPS 13 Snapdragon seems like it's trying to compete with the Air.
man rot13 ;)
Oh I wasn't complaining, I was making a bad joke (the cartoon is a stalemate).
I think
mplayerhas an ASCII output mode (VLC, too?), and I believeyoutube-dlcan output to stdout.The rest is, as they say, left as an exercise to the reader.
