Most companies try to gain and retain customers. You’re suggesting that at Chipotle, they sat down and decided to actively not help theirs?

Buddy, we are talking about planes. But no, that isn’t the issue.

Agreed. I highly recommend a bidet. Feels so gross without one. But this works in a… Pinch

Am I the only one around here that just wads up an adequate amount, based on thickness? Even the cheapest of toilet paper is never an issue with this method.

Ash is the only one I’m aware of, but that’s primarily going to be found and used on stuff like routers or other embedded devices. Any modern shell can support history. That said, many users will disable it or wipe it on logout for security reasons.

Well, yes. I wasn’t really intending to make a comparison. I was just explaining the meme. There was a time when getting your wifi/network card going in Linux was somewhat of a hassle for many.

This is true today. Had you tried that back in 2005, you’d very likely be fiddling with drivers. I specifically remember making a disk that contained all the drivers I’d need if I had to reinstall for any reason. Without it and without a network, you’d have to have another computer available to grab drivers from the internet.

This is excellent and a very helpful addition.Thanks for adding this.

I just spent a little bit checking out suckless.org. I had heard of st before, but never really gave it any serious thought. I’ve been using terminator for a very long time. I’ve liked it because of how easy it is to split and add more terminals. That makes it easy to monitor a lot simultaneously. terminator is mainly why I’ve never taken the time to memorize or use the panes and windows shortcuts with tmux. However, I think I’m a new fan of st now that I’m looking at it and just tried it out. Just a stupid simple terminal that works. Love it. The ability to split terminals with terminator is a little redundant when I end up attaching to tmux anyway. Plus, I’d save time just keeping my views persistent with tmux instead of pulling each one up independently. That does get annoying. Not to mention all the other features of terminator are way too much bloat for me. st + tmux combo looks perfect and I think I am going to give it a fair shot as my primary daily driver.

Thanks for sharing. Gaining insightful info like this is the whole reason I’m taking the time to write such posts. Now I might be sucked (hehe) into trying out their windows manager, too.

I’ll be editing the formatting of this a bit to see what works best for a few items. Sync on mobile and Firefox don’t seem to be agreeing on how to render it.

I’ve been a long time user of Debian + Gnome, but I’ve recently been using Fedora KDE spin as my daily driver just to mix things up a bit. I’d say Fedora is on par with Ubuntu with not having to tinker too much. The only thing I think I’ve had to really intervene with is getting the Nvidia driver going. Everything else I use just works, and there are plenty of packages available in the repo(s) for anything I’m not building myself.

I think when people say it is a smaller target for virii, they are talking about an actual virus such as ransomware, crypto miner, adware, trojans, etc. I have zero doubt these types of virii are more targeted on Windows platforms. Linux servers on the other hand are indeed going to be the largest target for exploits. The primary mechanism by which a Linux server is compromised is going to be via an exploit, not an actual virus. That’s not to say they don’t exist. I administer hundreds of Linux servers in several data centers. I don’t believe I’ve ever come across an actual virus in the last decade or so, but do deal with exploit and brute force attempts nonstop. Perhaps this is a matter of semantics. I don’t consider the tools and methods used to exploit systems as a virus.

It can’t run literally everything, but it’s pretty damn good, in my opinion. Not that I find myself needing to run a whole lot with it, though.

Pretty sure that is what they are saying. They are the one who initially said that in this thread. I read them saying lower user base as meaning a lower desktop user base, which you acknowledge. Or maybe you’re responding to the wrong person.

Which part are you saying isn’t true?

One of his videos about task manager is one of those YouTube videos that just won’t go away from being suggested for me.

That domain was registered in 2020.

If just sharing one window isn’t feasible for these reasons, my go-to is to use OBS.
