            The best part about this is that the keyboard company likely followed tutorials for building their device drivers and never substituted the default image (which is a fictitious company called Fabrikam):

            https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/windows/desktop/identity-lifecycle-manager/ms694611(v=vs.85)

            And someone is now selling attire under the Fabrikam name with just the page title as “Microsoft”

          You probably meant /dev/cdrom which as far as I know is just a link to CD-ROM drive. In case of SATA and SCSI drives it links to /dev/sr(number) and in case of IDE drive to /dev/hd(letter).

                Yeah, but I have nothing against Debian. At the time, my family was on dialup, so being able to order the entire apt repo on 7 CDs was very handy. Back then, the default kernel didn’t include sound drivers… fun times!

                I recently returned to Debian (unstable) on my Linux laptop and it’s been nice.

        Everything uses FAT32. ATMs, the fare machine on transit systems, the sorting system at your post office, traffic lights, nuclear power control systems. Literally everything that isn’t a Unix, MacOS, or a Windows machine uses FAT32. All that stuff has worked for decades and will probably keep working for decades more.

        NTFS is also posix compatible. If - for some unimaginable reason - you want to use an NTFS drive with linux only, you can set permissions, but it will break Windows compatibility. More info here: https://askubuntu.com/questions/11840/how-do-i-use-chmod-on-an-ntfs-or-fat32-partition#74851

        I can’t be certain they mean the filesystem or if she’s asking for the external drive, which for many people is the D drive. Also that it can be passed around implies it’s external too. Cause who only has one drive formatted as ext?

            Yes, I have to use NTFSfix or plug it into a windows laptop, it is very annoying.

            But my setup is fairly janky though. I use a external drive on my homeserver as storage drive, and because of torrenting it is almost constantly on read/write. And I use a ubuntu LTS server, so it might not be the most friendly os to use with a NTFS drive. But there is no going back now.

    You know this one’s dated because I’m pretty sure by today’s standards having only a C: drive is quite unusual. Hard to find statistics on it but I’d wager most people have at least 2 storage devices, especially an SSD / HDD combo is pretty popular.
