I don’t get why someone would use Manjaro after so many fuckups… If you don’t know what I’m talking about, you’re either too new to Linux or don’t care. Just look for “manjaro certificates” or “manjaro drama” and you’ll find out for yourself.

Install Windows into VMware player, then install this into it.

Why? We have native VM capabilities in the kernel and VirtualManager is very simple to understand and use.

Same should go for Israel too… But you know, they buy lots of weapons from their sponsors.

In fact Opera were more ahead of their times, because they were the first to add tabs and had a lot of features that we now take for granted. I know this because I used Netscape browser (before they were called mozilla) and Opera 4.x at the time.

other platforms already have applications that can do this without breaking a sweat

Then go with those applications and that’s it. In the same vein, you can say that Kodi needs an organized library, so organize it and Kodi won’t break a sweat. That’s what a lot of people are telling you in this thread.

Why do I keep seeing people say port forwarding is required on different topics

Because peer-to-peer connectivity works like that. That’s why it’s called peer to peer: you connect directly to the other peer, hence you need a port open and you are usually not connected directly to the internet, but through a router/switch/whatever, which in turn should forward the connection on that port to your client app.

And New Zealand is not a third world country

No, but the US is.

Oh, man! This happened to me in production, working on a server that did the invoicing for a large company. Mind you, I was assisted by a senior amin who assured me killall works on hpux. It worked “better” than expected.

Did you even try to watch the clip? It’s not even in the US! This is the scary part.

Again, how is it different than installing directly on your machine? Especially when you have a package manager that can rollback the installation?

In my day (today) we would create a test user, install a new WM and try it. I don’t get the “install the full distro on a VM just to try a program just a few kbs in size”…

Calibre is Python 100%. What gave you the idea it was Java?

Also, terminal-only

this is not the case anymore. You can run graphical applications.

This is really good… Just yesterday I had a colleague trying to present something like this in our company and she failed miserably. I’ll send her the link to your guide, maybe she’ll learn a thing or two.

Kakao (written cacao in Romanian) is used as a pejorative for “shitty”: “ești de cacao” - you’re shitty… So I guess we know who they are.

I do too… I mean I use borg backup + rclone + B2 … I was asking OP about personal stuff.

how about personal stuff, like photos or scanned documents?

so I had to learn how to copy in the background, then write a script to check and display the progress every few seconds

I hope you learned about terminal multiplexers in the meantime… They make your life much easier in cases like this.

You can create desktop entry files (https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Desktop_entries) in Linux to define applications running in wine.

Thank you. I’ll have it set like this.
