Margot Robbie

I’m an actress, not a jellyfish, you silly billy!

I can neither confirm nor deny the rumor that Ryan Gosling’s trailer on set always smelled of fish.

I think someone is really fishing for compliments here.

This smells a little bit fishy.

DraftEdge for a direct AutoCAD replacement, Revit if you are really serious.

You want to hear something spooky?

This isn’t even an American election year yet.

Lemmy doesn’t have a collective culture. Each instance has it’s own culture or will develop it over time, even though a lot of reddit vestige remains. (It’s only been like 2 months)

I don’t think toxicity ever will get too bad here, for the simple fact that if you don’t like the say, c/politics of one instance, you are always free to go to the c/politics of another instance or even start your own.

Eventually, the toxic instances/community will bleed users and die out, defed is a factor but doesn’t have too much to do with this.

Crowder… ugh. What a terrible human being.

Nobody ever asks…

No movie promotions during the strike, and might as well as talk tech on a tech forum.

I had a great time here and did a great viral promotion campaign for the movie before the strike!

I guess the secret for a box office record is to organically promote the movie on Lemmy.

I’m like the George Takei of Lemmy, this is my turf now.

But I’m not cascading though…

Not normally, anyways. 💖

Wait, I’m CSS?

I don’t get it.

I’m not going anywhere.

(Before they find out about this account anyways.)

Tell them to support the strike too!

Not me, that’s for sure.

I was just here to promote a movie.

I met Quinton Tarantino. Even did a movie with him. Really likes giving pedicures.

But now I just see him out of the corner of my eyes everywhere I go now. It’s weird.

Really? You are surprised that the guy who made “Doc and Mharti” is a pretty disturbed person?

Why are these people all such weirdos?

Well, I think “drowning” could be a bit much. Don’t want to make Linux sound that scary now.

I think there is a reason why “Learning Python the Hard Way” is so popular, because although it’s harder, it leads to learning better fundamentals which makes things easier in the long run.

So, I think OP should still give Arch a try, maybe he (they?) will be more receptive to this method, and there’s no harm in trying.

If you look at the original post, his goal is to learn and understand Linux and he is on his third attempt after already trying Ubuntu remix, which is why I made this suggestion.

Again, if he just wanted to use Linux on his computer, then there is nothing wrong with using a more user friendly distro at all. But for his particular needs he described, then Arch is a better distro for learning how Linux actually works.

My advice is to restart with Arch (I use Arch btw). Not Manjaro, I’m talking Arch.

I think using/installing Arch as well as its barebones nature FORCES you to understand how Linux works differently than Windows with concepts like root, bootloader, terminal emulation, and disk partitioning, just to give you some examples. At the same time, Arch has excellent documentation, a great package manager in pacman, and rolling release model that greatly simplifies maintainance during daily use so you can tune it to exactly how you want it.

I believe doing it the hard way at first will make it easier for you in the long run if you really want to understand Linux, and Arch is just the right amount of difficult to make you learn Linux, whereas Gentoo would be too hard and you don’t learn enough from using Ubuntu/Debian/Mint.

But yeah, if you just want to use something that works well out of the box, then Ubuntu is great, there’s nothing wrong with using the more user friendly distros.
