The parameters that suite your needs.
laurelraven, All of them, just to be sure
Petter1, Why do some specific Nvidia grafic cards require that you use legacy BIOS to start up your linux, while it works flawlessly on macOS using EFI??
0x4E4F, ![]()
Because Apple has money and revenue, and Linux doesn’t.
Petter1, 😮 I did not expect such accurate answers, lol
victorz, Which cards?
stoicmaverick, It’s easiest if I just link you to the Wikipedia article on money. Here
poinck, What is flatpak?
possiblylinux127, A packaging format for linux
0x4E4F, ![]()
You sure you don’t know anything about Linux 🤨?
0x4E4F, ![]()
A really flat pancake.
Sheeple, ![]()
A flapjack is a comic character
stoicmaverick, It’s a type of Kool-Aid that everybody’s been drinking recently
0x4E4F, (edited ) ![]()
My appoligies, this answer is more correct than mine.

What are the advantages of pacman?
possiblylinux127, None
SoggyBread, He eats all the pellets i dropped on the ground and can get rid of ghosts
makunamatata, Also makes cute sounds and blinks on special occasions
0x4E4F, (edited ) ![]()
Well, you have only 4 controls for him, up, down, left, right, whereas, let’s say Mario, also has fire and jump, so that’s 2 controls more, which makes pacman simpler, thus faster.
thecrotch, It’s free and open source, unlike Microsoft’s proprietary Ms. Pacman
GarlicToast, What’s the effect of having rust in the kernel?
Nuage, The code is less readable
0x4E4F, (edited ) ![]()
You have to disassemble it, clean the rust, assemble it back and put some extra oil in it so it doesn’t get rusty again.
pewgar_seemsimandroid, what is cinnamon forked from?
Cicraft, Cinnamon trees

Is this anime chat? How to patch KDE2 under FreeBSD?
0x4E4F, ![]()
You put some duct tape to patch it, duh.
AwkwardTurtle, How many boot loaders do I need to boot the loader?
GladiusB, ![]()
42
0x4E4F, (edited ) ![]()
To boot the load, you only need one bootloader, and that is your prostate. Have no idea how women boot the load.
CaptPretentious, What are the important, distinguishing differences between RHEL8 and REHL9 one should probably know.
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
0x4E4F, ![]()
Correct!
loudWaterEnjoyer, ![]()
Explain this
laurelraven, That is a high compatibility version for when you need to work with many different softwares at once
loudWaterEnjoyer, ![]()
But it’s 4.5, which is like (9 ÷ 2) so that kinda contradicts your first statement, doesn’t it?
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…
Snapz, How many orbs do you need to use to make it show the yellow screen?
0x4E4F, ![]()
5 to 10, depends on the shade of yellow you’d like to get.
Octopus1348, ![]()
What does
sudo rm -rf / --no-preserve-root
do? I found it on some sketchy article.
0x4E4F, ![]()
It removes the root from the apple tree in Eden and saves Eve from making the first sin, humanity being banished from heaven and all that.
Nerrad, ![]()
Why do so many nerds say my sister Vi is their favorite?
bhamlin, Because she’s cuter than your other sister, Emacs.
0x4E4F, ![]()
Because the V version was a complete disaster… please don’t remind me of that.
21Cabbage, Why did I have to burn multiple install CDs before finally getting one to work back in 2013?
Gimpydude, For the same reason I had to buy a stack of floppies to install it in the 90’s
stoicmaverick, I think you have a little bit of solder flux stuck in your gray beard on the left side… No, other left.
21Cabbage, Weren’t floppy’s relatively rewritable? Why did you have to buy multiple instead of simply trying multiple times?
Gimpydude, Floppies were very rewritable, but the distro wouldn’t fit on a single one.
21Cabbage, See but I’m talking about burning an install CD for Puppy and having it just straight not work and the solution being “just burn another one” like CDs were cheap for a 13 year old.
0x4E4F, ![]()
Good thing floppes were dirt cheap back then.
0x4E4F, ![]()
Because not all distros work with their respective boot floppies. I gather you finally realized that in 2013.
sunoc, ![]()
What should I do to use shared-memory communication from user-space on an immutable system?
possiblylinux127, It should be fine
0x4E4F, (edited ) ![]()
You should try and download some RAM from the user-space. Regarding the system, you should really switch to a muted one, I was extatic when my system stopped bitching all the time.
stoicmaverick, There’s an EMACS plug-in for this
