nasm? the x86 assembler from the 90s?

True, and Alpha are even worst, most of them never touched a real keyboard, only use 2 thumbs on a phone. Don’t tell them about windows (or/mac/linux) or what is a UI or how to use a mouse and navigate in a OS, they don’t get double click or right click, resize a window, minimize a window (OMG THE WINDOW IS GONE!!!) it’s impressive.

I have seen a lot of late Z/early Alpha who cannot make some special characters on a keyboard like " or $ or even worst using AltCar. Using Word to write a letter, using keyboard shortcuts, etc. they are completely clueless with computers.

I like awk, I started using it in the 90s in university, I’m not a pro, but this is so powerful!

Have you seen Musk balancing a fork and a spoon, mesmerizing! People around him were like at a “Musk Got Talent” show!

yup, I did the “linux running metal” and using the same partition with a VM in Windows and it worked fine. It was years ago, certainly Ubuntu or MX Linux. IIRC the linux partition cannot be on the same drive than the linux partition, it needs to be a different drive.

Install MX Linux (not the AHS version) it is Debian based and pretty nice

First thing Vivek will do is abolish the FBI

autoconf and stuff like this? Not anymore. Since ~5 years here it’s cmake everywhere, Conan, ninja.

ah câlissssssssssse ça faisait longtemps je jouais!!!

I have tested multiple distro, in the beginning was mostly hack of multiple things and almost LFS, downloading floppies images from usenet… I then started to use Debian early 00, then used Ubuntu for years, but I don’t like snap/flatpak and lots of changes Ubuntu made so I switched to Mint Cinnamon, but hated it, often broken, glitches, etc, so I switched to MX because it is Debian based, always up to date (like latest FF and latest Xserver with last night CVE fix etc and always native .deb, no snap/flat). I also always loved minimal DE so Xfce is perfect and light. Also I mainly develop in Linux, no games.

I’m old, I come from old X11R4 time, motif, mwm, twm, fvwm, things from previous century. In modern Linux I used mostly gnome, and Cinnamon for a few years and tried to love it but cannot, I finally went back to Xfce because it works, it’s simple, neat, nice, I have no icon on my desktop, I have a kind of windows 3 setup: a startup menu (and some quick launches), the window bar, the notification area with time etc

I’m using MX Linux for maybe 8 years now with Xfce

yeahs systemd I know yada yada :)

But working with embedded stuff, sometimes MCU with like 8MB embedded flash, have a 512k uboot, 1.5MB kernel, you are left with 6MB of flash for the whole application and lib, and busybox is a savior here!

I had a Samsung colour laser printer, they provided driver for linux, I installed them, everything works, full support for settings etc

on most new laptops, you cannot remove the battery that easily, you have to disassemble the back cover ☹️

Omg I forgot Corel Linux ! I installed it 25 years ago, wow!

Yes, I’m using QEMU though, no VMware or VirtualBox .

MX Linux (debian based) works perfectly on a usb drive

Fucking Caml, hate this language 👺

Well, using FB since something like 2008, but for years now it’s only for groups, like retro toys group, spotted group, neighbour group, camping group, moped group, etc.

I don’t have friends anymore who post stuff like their dishes or things like this, nor do I post. The feed is basically ads and far-right conspiracy nowadays,

I’m using Marketplace a lot too, this is the shit here, everyone is using it.

I’m using a Dell 4K monitor at 60Hz and in my X log I can see VRR is on and enabled. Is this useless then?
