Snapper is great, just make sure the FS is setup correctly or it causes very mysterious hangs.

What video adapter is in there?

Have you tried dmesg over SSH? Sometimes you can get an extra message or two if the display freezes before the entire kernel does.

Sure, maybe you don’t need to put your sexual identity in a post asking for help configuring nginx, but in an introductory post where you’re explicitly describing yourself… Yeah, I think you should be allowed to mention your sexuality.

What advantage does it have over nspawn?

Ironic that one of the biggest complaints about AI these days is that it’s stealing from artists, and the OP couldn’t even follow the CC-BY-NC license that xkcd is released under…

The wiki is great, and the installation handbook is top notch.

You get to control exactly what features each package is compiled with, so no bloat at all.

KDE 6 just landed too!

Shit, that’s where my sex drive went. Can I have it back please?

Linux is whatever the Linux Mark Institute says it is.

You don’t need reproducible builds. You can get by if you trust whoever compiled it, like your distro’s maintainers or the pidgin developers.

Copyleft means: “if you modify the program and share it, you also have to include the source code for your modifications.”

The owner of the copyright (usually the developers or their employer) can still change the license later.

Mailing lists are pretty awesome. They’re like a decentralized forum. There are even good web UIs!
