“You’re not wrong, [Linus], you’re just [being] an asshole”

laurelraven,

That’s very “ends justify the means” of you. No, that’s not the question here. Linus could have gotten the same results without the yelling and insults. You do not need either of those to be direct, assertive, and clear on what the issue is, something that Linus has since learned

laurelraven,

The good news is Linus did eventually learn this isn’t okay and took some time off to reflect on how to approach these things better.

He still doesn’t tolerate things like he was responding to here, still responds to them firmly and directly, but doesn’t rant, yell, or hurtle insults

laurelraven,

For the first part, no clue, but for the second, absolutely

Just because you work for someone else doesn’t give them the right to treat you badly and that sort of behavior can and should be reported to a person’s employer.

laurelraven,

Yeah, that’s a hard pass on passive aggressiveness, constructive criticism isn’t either of those things nor rude and angry ranting. Love Linus, but he really did need to chill out a bit more with these things. He could have gotten the same point across without coming across as yelling at the guy, just firmly pointing out that it was caused by the patch, the patch did things it shouldn’t ever do, and don’t break userspace or blame userspace programs

laurelraven,

I don’t recommend it, the more boots you use the heavier your computer will be. I’ve got mine down to half a boot and I’m working on getting it down to a quarter.

laurelraven,

Not at all! Since it’s half of 9, it can therefore work with half of the software RHEL 9 is compatible with, but since the 4 is also divisible by 2, it can handle all of that software as well.

It’s really quite simple, I don’t see how this could be confusing at all…

laurelraven,

Xtra Feral Computing Elements

laurelraven,

One is divisible by 3 and not 2, and the other is divisible by 2 and not 3

This is very important when checking if your software packages are compatible

laurelraven,

All of them, just to be sure

laurelraven,

They’re distant cousins, but they avoid each other at family reunions

laurelraven,

A text based Rorschach test. That one is clearly a mouse chasing a cat.

laurelraven,

Well, it stands for GNU’s Nearly UNIX, so probably

laurelraven,

That is a high compatibility version for when you need to work with many different softwares at once

laurelraven,

Honestly, I’d say the defaults most distros use will be fine for most users… If they don’t know why they should use one filesystem over another, then it’s almost certainly not going to matter for them

laurelraven,

The old GRUB was easy, just a text file… I think I’ve done it once in the new one but it’s way too long since then

I bet either the Gentoo or Arch (or probably both) wiki has enough details on how to manage GRUB to do that

laurelraven,

Just checked and they do have it, I think this is the section they need if they want to go that route

wiki.archlinux.org/title/GRUB#Custom_grub.cfg

laurelraven,

You use your mouse for GRUB?

laurelraven,

Yeah, Gnome is VERY different than in 2008

laurelraven,

Just because they don’t do full releases doesn’t mean it isn’t developed anymore. They switched to updating modules individually, with three updates made this month. Doesn’t sound very abandoned to me.

laurelraven,

That’s not what the person I was replying to said, they said it’s abandonware and not being developed anymore. Which is not true.

laurelraven,

That is what we like to call a “gateway drug”, first they try out an Android, then “just a taste” of Steam Deck, and next thing you know they’re installing arch btw on their grandparents’ computers

laurelraven,

Not enough fans, I want it to ruin my hearing too

laurelraven,

Stonks.

laurelraven,

You can disable it, but yeah… You shouldn’t have to if it’s being handled by the package manager
