Okay Okay, I’ll find a new go to distro.

Mine is just a series of knots.

If it isn’t 192.168.1.0/24 then you should blur it. Mine is completely random and I keep it to myself.

The image is misleading. The brain sizes represent the amount of grey matter it takes to operate the editor. The nano guy has plenty of brain power left over for things like hygiene, breathing and basic reasoning.

Never have I ever piped curl to bash.

I guess I just never paid attention to it. My usage of debian goes back thirty years. Like other utterly unimportant facts I am no wiser for having heard it. I pay attention to things that matter.

Not in quite a while. Why would I? I need the ISO every five years or so.

I’ve been using Linux since Slackware. Debian for decades and this is the first time I’ve heard Debian referred to as ‘the universal operating system’.

I only own one Samsung TV. Its a really smart TV. Its magnificent. It never switches input which is a good thing since I never need to. This is because it has no built in services of the so called 'smart tv’s"

Yup another website to add to the filter. Its time to start limiting their access to me.

I maintain over a hundred windows 11 machines. I recently push new software that I had to manually configure on each machine. While doing this I checked for problems. Over half had terminal and other programs like notepad installed separately. All the machines are in a domain environment but windows 11 ignores many of the GPO’s I have in place. Its pathetic and just a reason to have to do more work. So I have no problem believing that terminal had been installed and then disabled due to some microsoft account nonsense.

I was thinking more kill -9

Yup. Sometimes you like to fire a few shots manually just for fun.

IBM. The answer is IBM.

Nah. That hasn’t happened and you recommend fedora. If you were really worried about a distro going full microsoft you wouldn’t have mentioned them.

Fedora is IBM. Opensuse is okay but nothing special. Bazzite, I don’t know what that is. I guess everybody has a fringe favorite. Mine is slackware. Debian is okay if you have a bit more experience.

Ubuntu is a simple install with a slick interface and simply works. They get a lot of grief from the distro snobs but for a beginner I can think of no distro better suited.

The most unpopular here is Ubuntu. It is however very stable and has flatpak like things called snaps that everyone hates because its not called flatpak.

If its a cloudfront IP block down detector wont do you any good. Complaining to cloudfront wont do you any good either…

A cloudfront ip block would be even simpler to do.

Just let me know so I can change my crontabs.
