I use arch btw (I don't, I'm just always looking for opportunity to say this though).
I think Pop_OS! is dope
yeah it's not just customized ubuntu... it's optimised oneπ€
This is a question by my professor:
What is actual use of touch command in Linux?
(hint- it is not just for creating files)
Update Modified Date
ANOTHER
Is there a way to remove the program which detects the end of file in Linux?
It's not for creating files at all. That's just a side effect. People almost never want to create files manually, and the fact that people teach
touch
as a "must-know" command to "create files" always makes me sad.I like Manjaro, Arch based distro. I use it for six months, it's have some bugs and problems, but in summary it's cool distro
I absolutely love Linux! The fact that there is a distro for every use case is amazing. If there isn't an option out there, you can create it yourself. Linux to me puts the "personal" back into PC. I own my hardware and I decide what software I want I'm there. I have full control over my workflow and it's not forced into me like how I personally experienced Windows.
I'm not putting Windows down though. If it works for you and it does what you need, use it! Use the right tools for the job and for me that happens to be a variety of Linux distros!
Here are my favorites:
Jij lijkt echt op iemand die ik ken, ben je familie van Andries?
Ja!
Wat een toeval haha ik heb met hem gewerkt een jaar geleden! jullie lijken echt op elkaar. Leuk om te weten dat er een dev in de familie zit!
Haha dat hoor ik vaker inderdaad! Ik heb hem ook al met het Linux virus aangestoken π
Lekker bezig, Linux for the win!
The great thing about Linux, and this is largely why it got so popular in the first place, is its support from the hardware industry. Another great thing is ofcourse the kernel itself. However, compared to other modern-day Unix-like kernels (ie. the BSDs -- OpenBSD, NetBSD, FreeBSD, MacOS X etc.), it's mediocre at best.
What's definitely not great about Linux though, is its distributions. What ought to have been one complete OS with one competent leadership and one coherent brand, is instead split into thousands of distributions with varying degrees of quality, with the overwhelming majority all including unnecessary and overly complicated stuff by default, such as systemd, bash, OpenSSL, or iptables/nftables.
In the words of a great friend of mine:
That's a very interesting take! I'll have a look and see what it's like, thank you for that comment!
I am in absolute love with Ubuntu. It feels so comfortable and simple.
Have used various flavours over the years staring with Slackware in the 90s. My current main driver is Regolith Linux (Ubuntu).
Lovely comic style
So, I love the open source community and discover new projects. I like Elementary Os but today i'm using Ubuntu and Deepin.
You can borrow Windows or iOS, you can learn how to use them, the overlords may even let you change somethings like the wallpaper, maybe tell you what is inside and how it works, maybe. Is never yours, you paid for a house with locked closets, a car with a GPS you don't control and a engine you cannot see. Try to open a panel, to open the trunk or look at it from below and you are breaking the law.
Linux and BSD (and others like Haiku and Redox) are, currently, the only way to own your computer and the only way to really learn about it, free to do what you want with it, others praise themselves because the can change fonts and UI colors; we know better.
I used MS OS from DOS 6.0 to Win XP and after all those years I learned close to nothing, I was very proficient with Windows yet I knew nothing, just the "cute" "user friendly" pseudo-technical terms given by MS, I knew the location of every checkbox and icon, even knew a bunch of useful registry entries; I knew nothing. After a week using Mandrake Linux my world opened, not longer after I installed Gentoo, a week banging my head against the desk (it was in the dark ages) I messed up the installation 6 times, but after that week I learned so much, not Linux stuff, real technical knowledge, no more "home networks" or internet thingies: LANs, TCP/IP stack, DNS, etc. No more useless computer baby talk. I would still use computers as microwaves, as appliances and I would still be frightful of them like mysterious blackboxes if it hadn't been for Linux.
Linux is definitely awesome. The fact that your system will update without rebooting your whole system is a huge win for me.
I started using Linux a year ago, and every day I learn something new about it. It is being an amazing experience.
btw, I use arch
The best part of Linux according to me is the alternatives are so much that it literally spoils you :P
Don't want to use KDE, you might like Gnome, Cinnamon or XFCE. Text Editors, loads of them! The amount of choice that we have and the customizability that it provides is truly amazing.
Another point that I think is great is the development experience that Linux provides. Bash/Zsh is an absolute beast and the utility it provides is awesome! Windows just launced a new CMD with features that were in Linux 1 years ago. The forceful updates and the baggage that comes with Windows is completely gone with Linux. I use a rolling release distro and the only thing that I have to do to update my system is
sudo pacman -Syyu
.Also another advantage is building for CI. Building native modules and being able to test them is simply easy and you can match the CI environment as you're using the same native modules that the CI server uses i.e. Linux :)
Xubuntu is my favourite dev OS since 16.04. and it will stay for 20.04 as it combines the ease of integration from the Ubuntu ecosystem with the simplicity of XFCE.
I completely agree with all the people writing here Linux is love π ever since I started using Linux I have felt so freakin powerful. finally in years I have all the power I want over my computer. also AUR is amazing
my fav distros
1.Arch
2.Fedora
3.Opensuse
What is AUR?
ArchLinux User Repository I guess.
Its the Arch(Linux) User Repository. Similar to a PPA, users can upload their own PKGBUILDs (Basically a script that installs a package).
I use Arch btw :v
I'm in love with Solus os. It allows me to do web dev. on my potato pc :p
