Who is Linus and why does he Torvalds

0x4E4F, (edited )
@0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works avatar

Ah, that’s a interesting story actually.

See, when he was a little kid, he fell a lot on his head and had quite a few concussions. The Swedish word for concussion is “torva”, so they decided to change his sirname in order to scare the concussion daemons away. And that’s why Linus can Toldvalds and why he’s the only one that can Torvalds.

Minnels,

As a Swedish person i just learned a new word.

Glad I could help 😊.

spez,

Wait, isn’t he Finnish?

0x4E4F,
@0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works avatar

No, I think he’s Swedish, he just studied in Finland.

MonkeMischief,

You could say he Finnished his studies. 😎

Netplan and the default systemd network dependency can screw off

As an IT professional with over two decades of experience I can say this meme is wholly inaccurate.

The first thing you try when you have computer problems is to turn it off and on again.

Then if it's still broken, install a PDF reader.

greencactus,

You sir/maam/non-binary made me laugh, that was a good joke. Thank you :D

backhdlp, in Your PC will thank you...

I have a friend who hates Microsoft in probably every way possible, yet still uses Windows, because he doesn’t want to use “the nerd OS”.

butt_mountain_69420,

He might just need to print something.

exu,

Printing is broken everywhere

butt_mountain_69420,

Not over here on WinPro. You want a duplexed laser-printed copy of a high-resolution scanned .pdf wirelessly in another room? Wait one literal second.

you don’t need the ! when you have the w, because your changes already get saved.

raptir,

If anything it is dangerous as it will still exit even if changes cannot be saved.

Try editing a file in /etc as a regular user. It happens sometimes and you really want that warning that the write failed.

Anyway, :x is superior. It only writes if there are changes. So, your mtime doesn’t change unnecessarily.

backhdlp,
@backhdlp@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

wait people care about the mtime?

carcus,

I’ve had to do forensics on a rogue change. In finding when and who actually changed the file, mtime can help narrow it down when compared with wtmp.

MartinXYZ, in Linux too mainstream for some 🤷

I had a friend about 25 years ago who was very much into Quake Arena. His gaming setup ran on BSD. Now that I’ve been gaming on Linux for several years, I’ve really come to appreciate how much work it must have been to get that setup running smoothly in the late 90s. He died a couple of years ago. I sometimes wish I could call him up and get some advice.

Yeah, I use it as well 😂. Hell, if it’s for a baby’s skin, it can’t hurt for grown ups 🤷 😂.

Does wonders to be honest, rashes gone in a day or two. It really is a great product (and not that expensive as well). Would recommend it to anyone if you can find it in pharmacies 👍.

At some point my arch system was more than half aur git packages.

So I just nooved to gentoo now and wait 5 hours for qtwebengine to compile for qutebrowser.

Don’t regret it.

vexikron, (edited ) in Year of Linux on the Desktop

Aha, just popping in here to suggest taking a look at PopOS!

Proton works extremely well on it, its compatible out of the box with everything Debian based (this includes Ubuntu) so it has a huge selection of free software, has great documentation for the PopOS! specific stuff and for all the debian/ubuntu stuff you can nearly always use older wikis on the internet if you run into a snag, and its got a custom DE that I personally find better than KDE and Ubuntu’s latest rendition if GNOME.

Also, while Ubuntu is going hard into Snaps, which I hate, PopOS! is going into flatpaks, which are less bad than snaps, but still stupid imo.

If you care, its fairly easy to disable and/or remove flatpaks from PopOS. It doesnt come with any preloaded afaik, so all you have to do is go into the PopShop (the app store) settings and just remove the flatpak source.

Ive run Proton on Steam via debian sources on PopOS! for years, works fine.

Oh right! I am fairly sure that PopOS! nowadays just comes by default with graphics drivers pre-installed and preset to automatically update with the rest of your software when you run sudo apt update. All you have to do is pick the Nvidia ISO if youve got Nvidia, or the standard one if youve got AMD.

Shameless,

I’ve been running PopOS! for years now on a HP slice with 8gb of RAM and its still flawless and feels so modern! Making the switch was definitely the best thing I ever did

jack, (edited )

The trend is that the app developers officially support and push updates for the flatpak. So you always get the latest source directly from the devs. This makes packaging organic, instead of deb/arch/rpm/etc packagers trying to catch up (those packages are often waaay out of date, even on arch occasionally)

vexikron,

Well if this trend becomes the norm then that is great, but in my experience the opposite is true, dependencies get updated first, then things built off of them get updated later.
