Just pick a distro. It sounds like you want to learn. I suggest arch. It does the least for you, is the least opinionated, but also has by far the best documentation (arch wiki is the de facto linux documentation).

The difference between the distros is otherwise simply what package management tool they use, and what packages are in their repository. Nothing else is different that’s of any importance.

a robust charging connector

Wtf? Usb-c charging is the best thing that’s happened to laptops this decade. You’re insane to want to go back to the bad times.

Wow. What an enlightened centrist take. All views are valid, great take

That’s the whole point of an LTS distro. And it’s why non-rolling distros for desktop OSes make no sense

Yes it does. It means it’s 72% hot, because most human environmental temperatures that you experience are from 0 to 100

This is a perfectly civil question that is intended to make the author think about what they’re reading in the future, rather than spoon feed pure information

Not just database migrations as others have mentioned, but database state. Databases can result in a lot of dead data, because of how transactions and locks work. Cleaning that up can cause usage of the database to be blocked for a short time. It’s easiest to do this periodically if there’s down time

How is the temperature that water boils (at standard pressure mind you) relevant to you? How is knowing that number important in your day to day life?

100% serious and this is a hill in willing to die on

Why would having the build files exist suggest the package exists?

The backslash is escaping the space, and the forward slash is just how tab complete works, because it’s a directory, and you might be wanting to add more to go further down the directory tree

Are you water worried about boiling? When is 100 relevant to you as a human?

Where is freezing in Celsius? Because it’s very unlikely to be 0 where you happen to be at any given time.

Water boiling is totally irrelevant to what we care about as humans living in an environment

Are you water? When is 100C ever relevant for you day to day?

Not for human centered climate, where 0-100F is a very convenient set of human centric temperatures. 0 is really cold, 100 is really hot

It means it’s 77% hot

It’s not about learning or not. It’s about 1 system being fundamentally less suited for the task. You wouldn’t argue that we should all be using kelvin. I mean, you could argue that, but you wouldn’t be right.

I’m guessing you don’t mean commits that actually bring updates from a different branch in?

No, fast-forward merges only

Because celcius sucks for environmental temperature

These are mostly terrible. Shells have built in history search
