That was always allowed.

Exactly

macOS runs on the Mach/xnu micro kernel and is pretty successful with it.

Which terminal emulator copies with ctrl+c?

Niri/Noctalia is a great choice either way. I love using it. Having this as the default would be a reason for me to install KaOS.

BTFS snapshots are such a huge improvement and a live saver if you like to tinker on your system. Also great for backups, which you should make. Use snapper and similar tools.

I’d only recommend ext* for spinning hard drives. For ancient slow machines, go with XFS or ReiserFS (if any distro still supports that even).

The Linux kernel is a tangled mess and not an alternative to the well designed HURD micro kernel.

Systemd ist great and people who hate it, are also likely the same ones running openbox or a similar ancient window manager.

KDE should do what enables best user experience, not bend over for radicals stuck in the past.

I think KDE should force systemd.

Is this a take from the 1980s?

Of course cli and TUIs are great. However they aren’t as discoverable and harder to learn than a nice GUI.

Is vim or eMacs great? Sure, but so is Visual Code for other reasons.

cli and TUI suck at drag and drop and copy and paste between applications.

bat and batman are fantastic.

Still using ls aliases instead of eza, is old school.

fzf is what you really want.

Omarchy because it installed in under ten minutes. Also it has a well riced Hyprland setup from the start. A complete install of LazyVim, OBS, and KDEnlive. I was able to start doing real work in the time it takes on other distros to read the installation instructions, let alone add nonfree packages or install lazyvim. It’s the most fun and productive Linux installation I’ve experienced since Ubuntu sent out CDs for free.

DHH is a bit of a douche. However the number of unsavory character and unpleasant people in the Linux community has always been non negligible. Starting with Stallman’s pedo chatter to Greg Kroah-Hartman banning Russians.

Let the AI do the review as well.

Email validation for a form should at most look for

• at least one character
• followed by @
• followed by at least one character
• followed by .
• followed by at least two characters

Sending an email can take a few minutes. Form validation is instant.

Often only a few special characters are accepted. Punctuation yes, emoji no.

Just yesterday my library required a new password. The password requirements were:

• 8 to 18 characters
• uppercase
• lowercase
• number
• one of the 8 special characters listed

When borrowing from the library physically, I need to enter this password on a touchscreen keypad. So no copy and paste from a password manager.

They used to have birthdates as the assigned password for everyone. If you request a password reset, it resets to the birthdate. You have to change it on first login.

A little better than before, but doesn’t feel secure.

On the other hand, abuse is kinda difficult.

For physically loaning books, you need the library card with its RFID chip. For anything digital, there’s no incentive or possibility for abuse really.

Someone else will point out the typo and ask a question about it.

I simply dump the installed packages into a text file and then use that on the next install.

Pseudo terminal commands:

packagemanager list installed -nodeps >> myfacorites.txt

packagemanager install `cat myfacorites.txt`

NextCloud is pretty meh. Worst cloud storage I have used so far. A hosted NextCloud with just a few users is also surprisingly expensive. Self hosting is only an option for people with too much time.

Linux actually has a couple usable DEs.
