My father used startx and his father before him, so I reckon I’ll use startx too (aliased to systemctl start sddm)

I think the move here, based on recent events, is to hire an AI to do it then fire everyone else and complain that it isn’t built yet.

Stow has no “glob for target” option, so you can’t do *.profile.

You could write a script that, when you’re deploying a stow, symlinks the profile into the right location. You’d have to remember to run it in the future so create a README file and include the instructions.

I don’t think we have time to build a guillotine that big

Setup Meshtastic nodes too.

Having the ability to communicate without using cellular infrastructure is incredibly useful, especially during natural disasters (which ICE certainly qualifies).

There are no other alternatives for baseline power generation.

You can’t run a national grid on 100% renewables and batteries. If you’re not using nuclear then you’re using fossil and fossil fuels are not only polluting but the dependence on them creates a huge amount of political instability around the world.

Nuclear plants use less uranium than Coal plants burn into the atmosphere. Coal has trace amount of radioactive uranium and if you burn hundreds of thousands of tons of it every year then you’re putting pounds of radioactive uranium into the atmosphere.

I’d rather it didn’t rain today, but it did and I still needed to bring an umbrella no matter how much I didn’t like the rain.

Is Coal and Gas is your preferred energy source? Because that’s what nuclear would be replacing.

The water use issue is largely blown out of proportion or not compared to other sources of water use.

The US Corn industry alone uses 80x the water usage of the entire global AI industry.

Your options to try out Linux without disrupting your Windows experience are:

• WSL, which is using a Linux kernel that is running in a VM (WSL 2). This will let you run some Linux applications on Windows.

• Live Disk, This gives you a full Linux environment but may lack persistence (your settings are loss on reboot) and performance issues (using a USB drive as a system drive is slow).

• Linux on a VM, This gives you a full Linux environment with persistence and good performance but you won’t have access to your hardware, like your graphics card, to do things like gaming (You maybe able to use passthrough, I haven’t used Windows VM software in quite a while).

• Dual Boot, The full Linux experience. Requires another hard drive or a willingness to resize your partitions (which could* destroy your Windows install).

The installation step is trivialized on some distros, just a simple series of dialog boxes. Like installing Windows was in the 00’s before you had to watch streaming ads and give it access to your medical records while creating your OneMicrosoft Online Co-365-Pilot Teams Drive Pro account.

*I have literally never had a single problem resizing partitions in 20 years of doing this, but it is technically possible if you lose power or are really unlucky with the cosmic ray lottery.

e: To your question directly: As long as you’re not trying to mess with Window’s system partition you should technically be able to resize/create partitions, create a new file system, copy files, and add a boot entry from inside of Windows. Ubuntu was the last big project to have a sustained effort to attract new users, WUBI was a big part of that project. Now, there just isn’t as much interest.

Edit: this is satire, I clearly interact with these people far too often to have done this good of a job.

Imagine if The Onion had to say this.

Your target audience understood, the people downvoting probably are Ubuntu users anway.

Void Linux+Gnu

Uhh, it’s GNU SLASH Linux actually

The Gentoo wiki is pretty good too

All you need to know is that, whatever you pick, you made the wrong choice and you will be roasted if you ever attempt to explain your decision.

Unless you use Arch, then you have chosen correctly.
