Try Void it has an installer 😉.

Kidding, stick to Mint until you feel ready you can take a bigger bite. And do opt for the Debian Edition Mint.

Adrian Brody’s best performance if you ask me.

It USED to be OK. Now, it’s just bloat, ads for snaps and pro features.

While we’re at it, what does the hive mind think I should be using instead for turning old trash PCs into shitty servers?

Void. The speed difference is unmeasurable, especially when using old equipment. Plus it still supports x86. If you’re used to the terminal, you won’t notice a difference, trust me… except a lot more speed and less RAM usage.

The only thing Lemmy has taught me so far is that Ubuntu sucks and the only truly honorable choice is to quit my job and stop speaking to my family so that I can devote my life to installing drivers on unstable Arch.

Everything works pretty much out of the box in Void. Hardware doesn’t work? Try installing some of the firmware binary blobs (firmware-intel, firmware-broadcom, etc.). Check the hardware manufacturer and model with lspci or lsusb (depending on how the hardware is connected to the PC). 99% of the time, the thing works after firmware packages are installed 👍.

Also, I’m supposed to buy some thigh-high stockings and learn to tuck apparently?

No, just be open minded to new things and have a reddit account for asking questions/getting support… cuz the Void team didn’t join the protest and their subreddit is still the official help forum for Void.

That may be a wiser choice if you have trouble using certain things that are native to Windows. Use the right tools for the right job.

What packages? Cuz if it’s FF or something they ship in the Snap store, they have an incentive to do that - deb desn’t work, use Snaps 🤷.

It’s actually smooth now on other distros as well.

Debian Mint is the way to go now for entry in Linux if you ask me.

I know, it was an alternative scenario 😁.

You probably had it installed in MBR mode. UEFI boot is why there are so many problems of this kind nowadays. Switch to MBR, the problems go away.

I wouldn’t support any corp… cuz they all turn to shit sooner or later.

Chroot into the main Ubuntu partition from the live USB and update GRUB.

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

Exactly why old devices are so hard to break - they’re incredibly simple.

To be honest, I see nothing wrong with MBR boot, it does the job, I’ll use it till I can or till it doesn’t do the job I want/need.

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

OK, how do we do that?

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

Meeh, you made up for the rant in the end 👍 😁.

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

Cool, might try it 👍.

Hey, I read man pages all that time, Vi/Vim are just unreasonably complicated. Sure, those commands had sense when there were no key modifiers available on keyboards, but in this day and age, to not at least add some shortcuts to be part of the program by default… thanks, but if I have to read a man page to exit a terminal text editor, that’s just not really my cup of tea.

I presumed as much, but didn’t think to ask.

This way, the rotation would be on a standard body rotation of left and right.

Uuummm, I don’t think so… at least not acording to the pic. If you rotate on the x-axis, essentially the body is moving like a gymnist on a high bar.

Meeh, we all make mistakes 🤷.

Still want that left tit pic? Gotta warn you, it’s hairy 😂.

Nipple is 0°, right?

Or wheel for python.

Some file managers might add the +x automatically if you choose to run the binary through the desktop environment (not the terminal)… or ask you if you’d like to mark the file as an executable (i.e. add +x to permissions).

You can’t do it the same way with tar, what are you gonna execute, tar is neither a script or an ELF binary. It’s like asking for a zip file to be executable, doesn’t make sense. You can change the extension to .exe, but it won’t run, it’s not an exe, no MZ header, nothing 🤷.

There is no horny jail on Lemmy 😂.

I did make one upvotedbecauseofboobs, but the instance went down 😔.
