Always tinkered with Linux, since eeeearly Red Hat days, but took the first full move when I set up my home lab and needed to host some docker containers with hardware pass-through.
Turned out my hardware was a bit too new for the kernel I had to install so ended up teaching myself a lot in terms trying to get everything to work.
Because of that I got quite comfortable on the terminal and from then, the UI suddenly made sense, because I understood better the concepts underneath.
Run three boxes with various versions of Linux now, a couple more if you count dual booting, a couple more if you count Mac as some kind of Frankenstein UNIX.
Yeah, it’s a mess:
Ok, it’s a phone.
Alright, it seems to run Linux.
<EOF>
Eh, ok.


You must work in tech support with that attitude to the problem 🤣
The user has a problem. Do you want to be right or do you want a satisfied user? I can tell you which path popular operating systems choose.
And I say this 5 different OSes at home, 3 of which are Linux distros.
Yes, CTRL+Z undos, CTRL+S saves etc
Although micro already exists for this.
You’re on of us then!
I, and many others, start closing stuff when there’s more than a handful.
Others, like many, just run then forever and ever. A sea of icons, tiny and compressed. Worrying they’ll lose that tab they really like in amongst the clutter. Unaware of the history feature.
I have a feeling this thread won’t be about Linux.


Linux is mailing lists, if anything. It’s definitely not Reddit.
I am so intrigued by Silverblue but given how stable Fedora is I’m not really sure I’d gain anything
Red Hat, way back in the 90s - must have been 5.0 IIRC.
Since then I went through Ubuntu and now landed on Fedora.


real MVP right here.


Ah right. But none of them are true forks, really. They still rely on the Firefox project to port features in etc.
100%. Firefox would be better off, I suspect, by focusing on the browser, solely, and with a distributed global team that didn’t need a fancy SF office and fancy SF comp packages.
Servo isn’t a functional browser. You’re not comparing apples to apples.


Which ones do you mean?


Yo ho, to the seas we go!!
I live outside of a big city in the UK. Many times I can ONLY get 2G.
And in the darkness bind them?
