Without moderation, all the trolls who got banned elsewhere will congregate, then everyone else leaves, then the trolls get bored cause there’s no one to troll and leave, too.
I think you could install your system using a generic kernel, package it up as ISO and just boot it on basically any other machine with the same architecture. Proprietary bits like NVidia driver and firmware could pose a problem.
That’s basically what a live USB is.
They were called in by the owner of the trailer park to capture wild dogs and cats
They encounter a dog running around without a leash or any supervision
They capture it, as instructed by the landlord, who owns the property
The only thing they really did do wrong was not wait the mandatory 5 days before they put the dog down.
But the reality is: If you’re running the only animal shelter around that won’t turn away animals, you’ll be forced (by law) to euthanize a lot of them. What else are you going to do? You can’t just let the animals loose, no one else will take them and more are coming in daily.
PETA is catching flak for carrying out the consequence of people breeding and then abandoning dogs, which is the real crime.
First, make sure your VM has access to the internet, for example with ping 8.8.8.8
Then do sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
The file should include a line that is exactly this: deb http://http.kali.org/kali kali-rolling main contrib non-free non-free-firmware
(or it could have kali-last-snapshot in place of kali-rolling)
If not, replace everything in the file with the line above and save the file with Ctrl+O, then close the editor with Ctrl+X
Then run:
I heard PETA also started the plague and fellated Hitler.
Seriously, the campaign against PETA must be one of the most successful examples of propaganda in history. Even people whose views are aligned with the goals and actions of PETA hate PETA. Because they’ve read somewhere (but can’t quite remember where) that PETA are evil hypocrites, deny the holocaust and kill animals for fun.
Isn’t it weird what people get worked up about?
Just keep using X11 with twm, SysV init, LILO and Alsa on your 32bit BIOS IBM Thinkpad.
It all still works, and YOU can keep it maintained yourself, that’s the beauty of FOSS.
OpenSUSE Tumbleweed gets recommended here a lot. Just be aware: It’s an expert distro masquerading as beginner-friendly.
Out of the box, it won’t recognize printers and scanners. Setting them up is a hassle without cups-airprint and sane-airscan which aren’t preinstalled, and the latter is only available through a user’s repo.
Printer setup will also fail unless you add an exception to the built-in firewall. Nothing in the GUI tells you about this.
It also won’t play web videos before you install the codecs. These are available in the packman repo, which will require learning the concept of repo priorities and “vendor-change”, what it does and when to use it. (It can break your system)
The package manager is very sophisticated and complex, but some of its features shouldn’t be used in Tumbleweed. Updating Tumbleweed like you would the normal fixed release system is possible (in fact, if you use the GUI, it’s the default) but it will break your system.
And the system administration tool YAST offers a lot of functionality that is already present in the KDE options. What the differences are? Who knows.
