I had been using linux in some capacity (dual-boot, alternate computer, homelab, etc.) for close to twenty years, but there was always some functionality (mostly gaming) that held me back from switching fully. Then something like two or three years ago Proton/Wine finally got to where basically everything I wanted to run was able to run with no more effort on my part than doing the same thing under Windows. At that time I had been dual-booting Windows and Fedora for a little over a year and Windows/Manjaro for about a year prior to that and hadn’t had to boot into windows for almost six months. So, I formatted the Windows drive and haven’t looked back.

Isn’t the list of shells that are “not fully POSIX compliant” basically every shell in modern use aside from sh?

I’ve been using linux off and on for almost 20 years, though only did a full transition to linux for everything about two years ago. I use debian for the servers in my homelab and Fedora on all my other computers.

Something tells me this chart is based on an external assessment of competence/confidence not a self-assessment, because according to the chart I should be a guru, but in actuality I know nothing.

Please don’t stick a thumbdrive into my penis.

I’ll learn the theremin for this effort

I would have thought transmen would prefer Python.

!because of it’s clearly phallic naming!<

Why should he fear power?

Isn’t windows 10 end of support this year?

Also, didn’t Valve commit to SteamOS 3 for PCs at some point?

Of course

MLP is only acceptable if you also call yourself “anon” and regularly browse 4chan.

Hello kitty is preferred, but any Sanryo character is perfectly valid.

Devs have to get striped thigh highs.

Admins have to get fur suits.

Users have to grow a beard and pony tail.

Home-labbers must choose two from the above.

Them’s the rules.

Both of these read like the author is simultaneously looking down on both groups of developers in disgust and trying to represent them as some kind of idealized stereotype of a specific group of developers.

Yes, precious.

Personally, I felt like Win8 was an over correction in favor of touch screens vs Win7. Win8.1 was kind of the sweet spot for getting touch screen functionality into Windows while maintaining a consistent UI between tablets, laptops, and desktops. So much so that I would consider it to be separate point on the chart between 8 and 10.

Win10 did improve the UI a bit over that, but was so much of a step backwards in basically every other regard that I do consider that the point at which Windows started trending consistently downwards. As in, Win10 should be lower then Win7 on that curve, with Win11 lower than that, and no real hope that any future updates or versions will ever improve anything.

That is generally what I use in my homelab. Though I’ve found that Fedora works a bit better for a general purpose daily workstation OS.

Did you even read the wiki? It’s so easy! Totally beginner friendly provided a basic level of literacy.

/s, hopefully obviously. Arch is a fragile house of cards.

I think you mean here.

As an Alaskan, I will say that that is a compliment of the highest order.

Now, if somebody had called you a Texan, that’s basically a slur. An insult of the greatest magnitude.

Eh, FOOF is so unstable that it’s very hard to make enough of it to do any real damage. It’s also just very hard to make. It’s only remotely stable at cryogenic temperatures, and is so reactive that without an inert atmosphere it will rapidly decay into something more stable. Granted, it will do so by oxidizing the molecular oxygen in the air (which is as insane as it sounds) and release a ton of energy in the process but assuming you don’t already have a bunch of it, you won’t be able to create enough of it fast enough to do any meaningful damage without a specialized laboratory and associated equipment.

Chlorine Triflouride however, can be made in your kitchen, and is just stable enough that, assuming you’ve taken some precautions, it’s possible to accumulate enough of it to immolate yourself in one of the worst possible ways.
