They could call it Eunux!

Oh…

The album Syro by Aphex Twin.

You should get the Pantheon desktop environment for a more Mac like experience.

Wizard Bizan or whatever she goes by on Instagram.

It’s got a touch interface more than anything else. I think this change came around the same time as Windows 8 when they went for a more touch screen-y experience.

I gave an original Surface Pro tablet and I use Ubuntu’s Gnome on it. It’s perfect for tablets I find. Not so great for desktop PCs.

Budgie has great potential. I really love the look and feel. And I especially love the side bar. I feel that’s a feature that’s missing in KDE.

Budgie however isn’t “there” yet. I’ve experienced quite a few bugs using it and it’s still missing a few features. But it’s getting there. It might become my go to one day.

I have mine look and work almost as exactly as Windows 10, which I really love in terms of UI/UX. It’s the most easiest and fastest desktop interface I’ve ever used so far.

I have a tiled app menu and I even changed the window decorations to look like Windows 10. I hate rounded corners. It’s such a waste of screen space.

That’s what I’d be using too. But it felt too incomplete and buggy. It’s not there yet, but it’s very promising.

Linux is the kernel, the core of the system.

A distribution is a collection of software that is provided with the kernel, usually with it’s own software package management system. Distributions are also supported and maintained by organizations which create their own tools for that distribution and also make decisions on what to distribute it with.

For example, Fedora is maintained and supported by the company RedHat which implemented their own tools and packaging system to use Linux. Debian is the same but with a community.

Desktop environments are that it says. You have several available in Linux. The two major ones being KDE and GNOME. They provide a desktop experience with their own paradigms. Just like the MacOS and Windows have their own desktop environments. They’re basically graphical shells to allow users to use the system.

The sandboxing isn’t as much as, say, Docker containers. So I think access to memory and devices is still possible and can eventually get you access to the whole system. I would think.

And this isn’t limited to flatpaks but I would assume Snaps as well, which some software is now delivered in that format by Canonical, even for server software.

That’s interesting. I’ll have to look deeper into that

Yeah but OP has a point regarding the libraries with known vulnerabilities. What if one of them gets exploited that allows remote malicious code execution and gives root access? I dunno how far the sandboxing goes in that regard.

What year model was it?

Just ask the guy who made Axiom Berge, Thomas Happy. Or Stardew Valley creator, Eric Barone.

Right???

Internet access was more complicated back then. If you didn’t have a second computer or couldn’t dual boot into a working OS it was a big problem. And there wasn’t a lot of Linux users back then either.

Oh yeah. Ubuntu really simplified everything.

My first distro on my own PC was Mandrake. I don’t know how many times I had to reinstall it because of my fuckups.

Two years later I was compiling my own kernel with the source code of special modules that I had downloaded for my NVidia card that had composite video input.

I’ve never had to compile a kernel since Ubuntu. I completely forgot to be honest.

😂😂😂

Wow. I had this on my removable hard drive for our operating systems class in college back in 2000.

I also found Death Stranding to be weird.

It’s like… Death coming ashore?

I mean I get that it’s about this whole concept of people having their own beach when they die or being able to travel to other people’s beaches or something weird like that. But they’re really pushing it with that title.

And also the fact that Death end with ‘th’ followed by a word starting with ‘s’ makes it really difficult to pronounce.
