Honestly this part of the XKCD meme never sat right with me. No self respecting emacs person would ever bind a command to C-x M-c

Meta after Ctrl rubs me the same way languages that use Subject Object Verb order do.

Like, you can do it, but it feels icky.

Also, you’ve gone to the trouble of creating a ‘butterfly’ key. Just use that.

Yeah the “tech tips” distro feels vaguely abusive and toxic

The implication, of course, is that the only way someone stops using Debian is if they die

Ah yes, python is psuedocode

Arch breaking grub has happened to me twice. Second time I couldn’t even recover the install.

You learn a lot of good practices by using arch, eg a separate home partitjon, git repositories for your config files, maintaining a clean package tree etc. Installing Arch is also really useful for noobs like me to learn some Linux basics.

I use Fedora, btw.

Sounds like a skill issue. Some people just don’t know how to use Arch.

Someone who has spent more days reinstalling Arch than using it.

I’m Indian. I’m willing to bet a bunch of kids who just built their first pc didn’t realize windows was paid just googled free OS and installed Linux lol

(This is a sarcastic whit at the frugality of my people. Truth is a lot of Indians my age are extremely tech savvy and care about privacy)

The right answer is to use bat

Then, we’d have to shift the jokes to which editors can run in emacs.

If you’re in South Asia, we can hang out I guess

Eeeeemaaaaacs

Do you mean like neomutt, mu4e etc kinds?

Eyy! You took the words out of my mouth! I don’t mind paying for a search engine if it’s good lol

Have you seen the giggle yet? What do you think of the twist at the end?

RTD has really captured the magic of the original run. My doctor was Matt smith but David tenant is just so wholesome!

Oh the 60th specials are so much fun aren’t they? I can’t wait for the last one!

You’re a human with the knowledge of a time lord! You know more than you let on don’t you.

They’re distributions that add onto an open source set of softwares - including a kernel and common utilities - that can be made into a fully fledged operating system.

Together the family of OSes are referred to as Linux systems since the kernel (the main bit of an OS) is called Linux.

gr-Ubuntu or Grubuntu.

It’s Ubuntu but you have to reinstall Grub every session

Are you telling me you’d prefer a normal browser over an electron app running a mini browser hogging the resources of a full browser in what is the equivalent of a progressive web app??

EDIT: I know nothing. I just thought this would seem funny
