It’s a great OS it’s just lacking a decent text editor.

I take an axe to my power meter. I want everything shutdown.
Two kids were caught with enough fuel oil and fertilizer at their homes to blow up a city block. This was well before Fight Club so I’m not sure where they got the idea from.

A7thStone@lemmy.worldto Linux@lemmy.ml•What have been your costliest mistakes in using Linux?10·4 months agoNot Linux, but OpenBSD. I got a sun ultra 5 for free so I decided to make a router out of it. After some research OpenBSD looked like the best option. I bought a pf book and started writing configs. After about a week I had a really nice router that did exactly what I asked it. This was back in the early days of xbox360 so getting all of the port forwarding right was kind of a pain since we had three of them connected in our apartment along with all of the computers. Then the harddrive crashed and I hadn’t made any backups. That was a lot of work down the drain.
Just multithread. If you get nine people pregnant you can have a baby in one month, right?
A7thStone@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Bad film with amazing premise and mediocre execution that you can't stop thinking about?10·4 months agoNew Rose Hotel (1998) It’s set in the same universe as Johnny Mnemonic, stars Christopher Walken, Willem Dafoe, and Asia Argento. I love Gibson stories and the short story it’s based on, while not one of his best, could make a good creepy weird movie especially with that cast. Unfortunately it is one of the most boring movies I’ve sat through at least half a dozen times.
IV was not as good as IIIs storyline, but there were a few qol and mechanics improvements. It’s a solid JRPG, well worth playing.
I was given a CD set for SUSE 8.2, then bought the 9.0 book set from a book store because I liked it but wanted the hard copy to reference when I was messing things up. I’ve tried a ton of other distros, but keep going back to Suse because I’m used to it.

I haven’t had issues for about a decade. I haven’t had an nvidia card for about a decade either. I think the two may be connected.

I did exactly what you are planning to do. I had put a 2TB drive in my LCD and just swapped it to a new OLED. It asked me to update as soon as it was installed, but it worked just fine.

Installing any OS is not for everyday users. Most people wouldn’t have any idea how to install windows either. Whoever is setting up the computer should take care of all of that to begin with. I’ve set up multiple computers for older family members with SUSE and they are all happy with them, and I get almost no tech support calls. The one exception is printing, but you get that with anything because printing sucks. It’s really to my advantage with my step father’s computer because he has negative computer knowledge. He was one of those people who had a million add on bars in IE because he’d click the accept button on every shady website he visited.

"Ed is the standard text editor." Let's look at a typical novice's session with the mighty ed: golem> ed ? help ? ? ? quit ? exit ? bye ? hello? ? eat flaming death ? ^C ? ^C ? ^D ? --- Note the consistent user interface and error reportage. Ed is generous enough to flag errors, yet prudent enough not to overwhelm the novice with verbosity. "Ed is the standard text editor." Ed, the greatest WYGIWYG editor of all. ED IS THE TRUE PATH TO NIRVANA! ED HAS BEEN THE CHOICE OF EDUCATED AND IGNORANT ALIKE FOR CENTURIES! ED WILL NOT CORRUPT YOUR PRECIOUS BODILY FLUIDS!! ED IS THE STANDARD TEXT EDITOR! ED MAKES THE SUN SHINE AND THE BIRDS SING AND THE GRASS GREEN!! When I use an editor, I don't want eight extra KILOBYTES of worthless help screens and cursor positioning code! I just want an EDitor!! Not a "viitor". Not a "emacsitor". Those aren't even WORDS!!!! ED! ED! ED IS THE STANDARD!!! TEXT EDITOR. When IBM, in its ever-present omnipotence, needed to base their "edlin" on a UNIX standard, did they mimic vi? No. Emacs? Surely you jest. They chose the most karmic editor of all. The standard. Ed is for those who can *remember* what they are working on. If you are an idiot, you should use Emacs. If you are an Emacs, you should not be vi. If you use ED, you are on THE PATH TO REDEMPTION. THE SO-CALLED "VISUAL" EDITORS HAVE BEEN PLACED HERE BY ED TO TEMPT THE FAITHLESS. DO NOT GIVE IN!!! THE MIGHTY ED HAS SPOKEN!!!
