Well one day I heard about NixOS… And that’s all it took

Less, then “vim -” after I realize I don’t know how to use less.

If you ever need a reeally stupid way to sanitize deleted data without special privileges, just fill the disk up with some files then delete them. On Linux this is easy with cat and /dev/zero or urandom. Can’t be sure it gets everything but it’s better than doing nothing.

To try and contribute! :P gotta start somewhere

has, they still work great and keep me sane

MSYS2 is my current choice for GNU/Windows

Unfortunately building it was a disaster a few years ago, I should give it another go.

I am legit excited to install WINE Subsystem for Linux

Or how about KDE on ReactOS on WSL?

The possibilities are endless

Pretty sus :P

I would start by removing the graphics card if you have integrated graphics available (or disable the PCI port in your bios)

This reminds me of the kinds of issues I would get when setting up overclocking and getting just past the limit of stable operation. If you have overclocking set up definitely try disabling it.

If removing the GPU does nothing don’t forget to check removing each ram stick separately, or make sure your bios runs a full memory check.

🤣

Pycharm has a Linux release

And enforces the value of installing documentation and source packages 😅

It’s even better if your only internet connection is that computer you broke.

Lol wrong again

Basically, just using gtk instead of Qt :P

I’m more of a baobab person myself 😋

I think it highly depends on what kind of hardware you are attempting to install Linux on. You can make it work on almost anything, but the graphical installers are best used with hardware that was widely used when the distribution was released.

Also the older and more obscure distros may not have installers that pass secure boot checks, which is very frustrating if you don’t know what is happening.

Too small, can’t phone

I really enjoy running nixos because there is very little uncertainty of what’s installed. I don’t run any games so I can’t speak to that, but the centralized configuration makes fixing problems relatively easy. The downside is a steep learning curve to writing your own derivations, the community is split between “flakes” and normal nix derivations, and sometimes you just have to accept that it doesn’t work on nixos without putting in the work to write the derivations yourself. (Don’t get me wrong, people have made derivations easy to build, but it’s an unexpected side quest when you just want to try some new software)

Keep it up, this is how you become one of those “experts” :P

Can you post some more info on how far you’ve gotten?

Whatever else it may be, macos most certainly Is Unix unfortunately
