What if you don’t fear technology, have no life, and are technologically behind and don’t understand what anything but the apple and windows symbols are? I recognize the penguin from an EEE PC that I had like 15 years ago, but that’s it.
*Sorry I also recognize Google, just not immediately apparently.
In that case, I guess it’s time to get educated about Linux. At least to the point, where you understand, that what I’m referring to, should actually be called “GNU/Linux”.
*“I recognize Google” is also not Google itself, but specifically the Chrome Logo that refers to Chrome OS in this case.
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.
Oooh I don’t want to spoil new episodes for anyone so I can’t actually respond to the Time Lord knowledge bit, but I feel like I recognized some of the words you used lmao.
He really is, so is his wife. And he slays every role he plays. I rarely miss an opportunity to catch him on screen.
And I am so glad RTD is back! Moffat was fun and all, but both he and Chibnall were better at the short stories that could be told in an episode or two.
I use Firefox with Ublock on both my PC and Phone and haven’t had to deal with ads in years, PiHole just seems like a lot of hassle without much more benefit.
I would ask whether you realize you're on a linux community, but you referred to a man page as a wiki article so you are clearly lost.
The first paragraph past the link is a summary of the function of the program.
fstrim is used on a mounted filesystem to discard (or "trim") blocks which are not in use by the filesystem. This is useful for solid-state drives (SSDs) and thinly-provisioned storage.
Wouldn’t you want to just want to type q! As you’ve probably opened it and accidentally made changes you didn’t want to. So you wouldn’t want to save the config file. Or the text file you just created.
People always paint Mint as a "beginner distro". That's just so dumb. Mint is perfectly fine for anybody who just wants stuff to run in their computer with minimum hassle. If you like tinkering, by all means install Arch. But if you just want something that works, use Mint.
But it implies that if you use it, it means you're not that knowledgeable. As if knowledgeable people need to recompile their kernel every day just because they can.
Eh, I think knowledgeable people know better than to trust such implications. If you're savvy enough you can do everything you want on any distro, but if you're just getting into Linux there are some better, less challenging entry points and Mint is one of them.
