Good ol’ CS flashbang PTSD.
i used to be a windows guy. discovered arch linux and it’s not enough. i wanna do hardcore shit so i’m going kali
I thought the “hardcorer” alternative to Arch was LFS
LFS is for memes. I guess Nix is a level up from Arch.
Hmm, I personally place Nix at the same level as Arch, because I see both distros being hard to get into because of how different they do stuff when compared to the average OS.
Maybe the real level up is trying to run BSD on unsupported hardware?
The real level up is bare-metal Emacs.
Shame this OS does not come with a solid text editor.
Text editors are bloat, I only use punch cards
Let’s skip all intermediate quotes and directly jump to the xkcd reference: I only program with butterflies. Of course, there is an Emacs command for that: good ol’ C-x M-c M-butterfly
Not if you are a 1337 H4x0r like the badass you’re answering to.
i’m new to this shit (started arch yesterday) so i dunno
i use my macOS terminal all fucking day so i know my way around a linux interface, it’s more or less the same shit (macOS uses zsh and linux uses bash…the syntaxes are almost identical, if you know one, you know the other)
Nice to know you’re enjoying Linux :P
I think that later on in your adventure, you’ll notice that you don’t actually need a distro that’s hard to maintain in order to do the hardcore stuff.
Going back to more tame distros (Mint, Debian, Fedora, Solus) may actually suit you better, even for said tasks.
what would you recommend for cybersecurity? i’m interested in a few things (shell scripting, web dev, nlp), but i’d also really liek to know how to stop hackers
You’re going to feel right at home with TempleOS.
i’m autistic and schizophrenic
people seriously have compared me to the guy who made it (why tf can’t i remember his name)
Terry Davis.
Welp, here’s sincerely hoping this is not a bad omen.
The corrupt oligopolists have completely given up on QA; why would they bother when they don’t feel any real competitive pressure.
AFAIK, this has been happened as far back as Windows 8. I believe they had a giant pool of physical PCs (laptops, pre-builts and various popular component combination for desktop) that they physically tested updates on, but they scrapped all of it because they know they don’t need to worry about competition.
Win 11 is one of the ‘bad’ releases for sure (cf ME, Vista, 8 vs XP, 7, possibly 10)
Beyond the title, Louis eloquently talks about this dynamic here:
