I think GNU favors the info tool, try that if the man page is lacking.

RTFM doesn’t have to literally mean to read text, just like saying “let me google that for you” doesn’t have to literally be google. Both statements are similar; the point is instead of burdening others with teaching you something, go learn it on your own whether that be the manual or random Indian tech youtuber.

You’re replying to a thread talking about gay men, not trans people at all.

Not only repressed homosexuals, but they view ALL sex stuff as a choice. It’s beyond their comprehension that people can’t help what they’re sexually attracted to. They have gay thoughts, suppress them, and then conclude that all other gay people are the same as them but with less self-control and therefor evil people.

Skill issue.

Because you know how to grow food?

That does happen, and those are bad. These people are bucking the trend and bringing the Windows mentality to Linux and I hate it.

Malware is the least of your worries with Linux. The real reason malware has historically been more prevalent on Windows isn’t necessarily because of market share, it’s in the way software is distributed. In the Windows world, you go to random websites and install proprietary software; you have no idea if it’s trustworthy, even when you’ve found the official site. On Linux, you get your software from repositories (like the app store on your phone) where the software is open source and has been reviewed. All this software comes from trusted sources, you’re never accidentally going to get malware from your OS.

It’s really just a difference of opinion. GPL enjoyers such as myself believe that Free software is the best and it should be kept free with a copyleft license. BSD license enjoyers also love Free software, but they believe in putting next to zero conditions on their software. They’re just happy if their freely released software is used to make anything better, even if it means proprietary projects incorporating it and not contributing.

When you read a, you’re typing in terminal. I made a clipboard action so I just copy an URL to the clipboard, execute actions, and then choose whether to play it or download it on my other machine.

No offense, but I’m seeing a lot of useless scripts here. You can simply put these option in yt-dlp.conf and then just run yt-dlp “url”.

You can parse this kind of data out of a PDF with python, but when I did it 20 years ago it wasn’t pretty or fun.

KDE has native tiling built in. Simply press the (default) hotkey Win+T to set up your tiling zones, and then hold shift while moving a window and it’ll snap into that area.

Google keeps a secret un-enshittified version of their search engine for anybody to use. Instructions here: https://tenbluelinks.org/

I guess I’d start by unblocking instagram in my hosts file lol

He broke his Linux system by failing to read the warning on the screen and then blamed Linux.

Last time I tried on Debian stable it didn’t, but maybe I’m on an old ass version without the support.

Yep, staying on xorg for autokey, antimicrox, pyautogui, and TeamViewer.

That’s true for any OS install I do for myself though :)

Newer software is nice, it’s not too much trouble.
