It’s actually ed .

Fun fact: If I use my 4G with a device that isn’t a phone, that’s against the terms of service and they can cut my access.

Awesome, that cuts the Steam update time till I can game down to under half an hour!

WTF can you link this?

There’s no way in hell 2007 was 18 years ago.

Debian’s build still depends on an xserver.

Then either they changed that, or I didn’t understand it right, while I was using it.
Probably the latter. That being said, my other frustration was a lack of easily discoverable in-depth documentation.
But I wouldn’t be surprised if I was just too dumb to find that, too.

I meant not being able to rummage around in /etc .
Since it is read-only, you always have to copy a config file into your home/user/.config/… before you can edit it.

It was hyperbole. I used Silverblue for a bit trying to avoid layering packages entirely.
But not being able to simply install CLI system tools I’m used to (like btop) or rummaging around in /etc felt really limiting. I realize that’s on me, cause these distros work differently.

Then staying with Windows forever, no matter how shit it’s become and how much it’s changed even compared to just 2 years ago, is the only option.

Fedora Silverblue is basically Android.
You click on apps in a software store to install, it updates itself (without you noticing) on reboot, the terminal is entirely optional and almost entirely useless.

Yes. It’s the only package on my system that still depends on X. Without it, I could remove X entirely.

Repeat after me:

“You do not support a project or its dev in any way by just using the software you got for free.”

In fact, unless you donate, advertize or contribute to the project, you’re a net drain on its resources.

Mark my words, X11 will still be around as an option 10 years from now.
Linux Mint, probably the most popular distro, doesn’t even support Wayland in its default configuration, yet.

Yeah, nowadays it’s just every other year around June. Linux has become so boring ;)

Yeah, you don’t want to have to explain that production went down cause you migrated it to the “Testing” branch.

I upgraded to Trixie last week.
It already worked as flawlessly as I’d expect it when the release is official.
It installed a bunch of new packages, removed the same number of obsolete ones, and upgraded everything else.
On the next apt update, it asks to reformat sources.list and that’s it.

If you didn’t mess with your sources.list it won’t switch to the new release automatically.
