Arch is absolutely divine with its documentation. There is a bit of a “you must be this tall to ride” with them though. Like the tiny [AUR] link. That’s not really well explained, and is even more opaque if you follow the link.

I see a flare. It’s on the base. 😃

Who keeps putting all these tears in my eyes?

Double snark if you get upset that I didn’t accept it and reach out to find out why.

Sending my work email a calendar invite as the first communication. Just because you want to sell it doesn’t mean I want to buy it. Or even hear about it. If a calendar event is the first thing you send me, I will be the avatar of snark. My calendar is busy enough without you inserting yourself into it without my consent.

Sounds like a challenge to me

Their home/home office stuff is absolutely trash. That much is true.

Much of their small business stuff is on the verge of being ok. Just, expensive for what it is.

Meanwhile at work we have hp enterprise printers that are twelve years old and still working flawlessly.

Because Fedora is open source only to the point of it being pathological. If there isn’t am open source driver most time you’re just boned. Someone new is going to have a tough time with it, and the community is on average a very “lol rtfm” bunch. Not as bad as Arch, but that’s not saying much.

Meanwhile, despite the problems around Ubuntu, Debian communities are much more understanding and helpful. Mint even with old packages is going to be an easier time for a newbie. Certainly a newbie unfamiliar with the way entirely too much of the FOSS community is.

It depends on how they’re delivered. Generally bullets are interpreted as a threat.

Sorry, that will forever be Did Not Finish for me. 😣

Objective c, mostly. 😐

But also the fact that other operating systems run better on their hardware. Linux on apple silicon outperforms macos on that same hardware. A tiny team is porting software to your platform almost completely in the dark.

Excuse me, I shower once a fortnight whether I need it or not!

I’m gonna need more…

Compiler output only marginally better than working with c++

No one claims it’s faster at runtime than good C++, it’s just a lot easier to write decent code

I think they’re referring to warning and error content. Compared to things like rust, deciphering error notifications from the c# compiler can sometimes feel like trying to figure out what a child with limited vocabulary is trying to tell you.

Even with decades of personal experience with it, they can be confusing and non-informative sometimes for me.

Thanks, now my keyboard is full of soda.

Something something don’t cite the old magics something something I was there when it was written…

Right, but you have no way of telling what version of tar that bomb is running

Joke’s on you, .tar isn’t compression

That’s still kinda new. It didn’t always do that.

You may not, but I need it. Data anxiety is real.
